Rather than an outright removal, perhaps it would be better to simply #ifdef it out with some way for devs to re-enable it. Thus, by default it will be as though it was no longer defined (hence prompts people to update their code), but for those who really do have qreal embedded throughout their own code base, there's an easy mechanism for them to keep their code building without hacking into Qt's headers, etc. Just my $0.02. -- Dr Craig Scott Computational Software Engineering Team Leader, CSIRO (CMIS) Melbourne, Australia _______________________________________________ Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development
