Apart from Uwe's special QT6 test branch, which we gave up on recently until QT6 is fixed, ... we are building with QT5,

which are the releases yes ? I do not understand the concern with existing  regarding QT6 support ?

2.8.0 works fine on Windows 7.  I use it daily.

    I have found that 2.8.0 improved is not compatible with Win 8.1
    and no one has said that it works for them.

    Should the WSJT-X Windows compatibility statement be revised?  It
    currently states - " (Windows 7 and later)" which was true for
    2.7.0 but may not be true if later official releases use Qt6.
