I just looked through the download statistics. MSVC2015 takes about 30% of all windows downloads and the Visual Studio Tools have a similar ratio. It might change once we have a MSVC2017 packages but right now I must say no, dropping MSVC2015 is a no go for Qt 5.10. I can image we have a realistic chance for 5.11 though. -- Alex _______________________________________________ Development mailing list [email protected] http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development
