I think the main problem was I was continuing to use the old translation 
tools without even realizing it, which made you think somebody still 
cared about Qt4.  I've been building with Qt5 for years.  I have no 
other reason to even have Qt4 other than checking to see that Qt4 builds 
still work, which I haven't actually done in years anyway.


So far so good, I updated and did a clean rebuild.  Now all I have to do 
is avoid breaking the translations again.  I'll pay more attention next 
time.

I would announce the end of Qt4 support now as that's effectively what's

  Yeah, I think I'll do the official announcement next.  And my next 
commit will probably break Qt4.  It would be easy to fix if someone 
really wanted us to support Qt4, so I think I can deal with any 
complaints if they come up.

  Ha!  Yeah.  There isn't really anything in Qt5 that I need, so I 
figured I'd just stick to Qt4.


  That said, I think my next commit is going to require Qt5. 
QSharedPointer::reset() is awfully handy.

[Rosegarden-user] End of Qt4 support: r15334

[Ted Felix]

  As of today, Rosegarden will no longer support Qt4.  [r15334] will be 
the last commit to support Qt4.  Qt5 will be required from now on.


  If anyone has issues with this, we can go back and restore Qt4 
support fairly easily for a while.  cmake support for Qt4 will be 
maintained for a while, but the build will fail if all you have 
installed is Qt4.


  Qt4 itself has been unsupported since 2015.  It's time to move on.

  Translators: Please upgrade your toolchains to Qt5 so that we can 
drop Qt4 altogether.  If you have both installed, you can force Qt5 for 
each tool you run at the command line by prefixing with QT_SELECT=qt5:


$ QT_SELECT=qt5 linguist

  OK, then I'm going to switch to building/testing with Qt5.  We'll 
probably still be Qt4 compatible for a while until Qt5-isms start 
sneaking into the code.  Once I notice that, I'll announce the official 
end of Qt4 support.


  Anyone with concerns, please voice them now.

One of my traditional rules of thumb for questions like this was "What 
does Debian Stable have?"  On average, most users are on something way 
more modern, and that always seemed plenty old enough to me.


So I checked, and Debian Stable has Qt 5.7.1 available.  That's where 
I'd set the bar.  Nobody has to go build or install third party binaries 
to get Qt 5 anymore, and we sorted out all the serious problems with Qt 
5 builds a long time ago.


In the end, it's your call.
