Only compiled extensions / compiled .so are affected, not pure Qml apps as far as I know. And there is ongoing discussions on how to provide the backwards compatible stack in parallel to 5.2 stack. It started off in vUDS sessions and continued on the hallway tracks and post vUDS. I'm not quite sure who is in charge / implementing that work. Maybe Loic can comment more? We do need to land 5.2 soon, as we are fast approaching feature freeze and 14.04 release.... -- Regards, Dimitri. -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-phone Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-phone More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
