This is probably common knowledge, but I came across the following paragraph sited in a stackoverflow answer[1] from a page regarding Qt algorithms[2]:

"Historically, Qt used to provide functions which were direct equivalents of many STL algorithmic functions. Starting with Qt 5.0, you are instead encouraged to use directly the implementations available in the STL; most of the Qt ones have been deprecated (although they are still available to keep the old code compiling)."

The responder then summarizes:

"So using STL when programming with Qt 5 is officially encouraged, should it become a necessity."

The original poster was asking about tuples, but the responder sites Qt algorithms. My question is: Were Qt containers also deprecated along with Qt algorithms starting with Qt 5.0? Or put another way, should new code based on the Qt5 series avoid using Qt-specific containers now?
