Hi Bogdan,
my feeling is that we need to wait for Qt 5.2 to be released to finish the
port to Qt5. It's only the matter of waiting for a few days now.
As you say, there is at least one issue with current Qt 5.2 beta, the
blinking in full screen, which needs to be addressed. I think it's a Qt bug
because it appeared after an update on my computer even if I can't prove it.
I was not aware of the date issue. I'm not aware of other important
problems.
Qt5.2 provides also the new QOpenGLTexture class which will allow to get
rid of some crappy part of the code (see
https://code.launchpad.net/~stellarium/stellarium/text-use-opengl-buffer
branch).
One of the question is: do you guys agree to require Qt 5.2 for building
Stellarium? It bascially means that you cannot use the ubuntu packages
right now and need to manually install it.
