Hi, I wanted to backport the support for Windows 8 to Qt 4.8, which is already done for Qt5 in https://codereview.qt-project.org/#change,22940 With this change a symbol is added and therefore binary compatibility is broken. I know i cannot do that for Qt 4.8, so my question if we should do this

Hi, as we are working on better support of embedded devices in Qt, we also are tapping into the input handling. The initial issue with our current input handling for platforms like eglfs, which do not handle input on its own, is, that we have input plugins for mouse/keyboard/touch (evdev),

[Development] Should we change the default codec of QTextStream to UTF-8?

Hi all, It might be a bit late for 5.0. But Qt 5 have started to enforce that source code file must be UTF-8. So perhaps it make sense to change the default codec of QTextStream to UTF-8. This won't break many things, as the old behavior can be obtained by calling QTextStream::setCodec(). I have

Hi Bradley, And I don't think they very much liked the idea of spinning while trying to acquire a lock (consumes power)... at least we have a call to QThread::yieldCurrentThread(), though it would be interesting to see what happens if we replace it with a PAUSE instruction. Have you seen
