Hello all I would like to draw your attention to the importance of having universal calendar system in Qt. In our country, official calendar is Jalali, which is slightly different compared to Gregorian calendar system (The year starts within the first day of the spring and ends on the last day of winter). This makes impossible for us to use QDate sometimes.
There are many countries using non-Gregorian calendars officially. I think there must be an API for at least five most-used calendar systems in qtbase. This can be implemented as either a QDate integration or based on any other approach. We do believe that it’s already too late. As far as I know it’s been 5 years since the initial discussions started. There were two plans, neither got implemented. There were https://wiki.qt.io/Qt_5_ICU and QCalendarSystem [?] I suppose this plan is abandoned. Not that calendar system is implemented in Locale System here: http://wiki.qt.io/Qt-5-QLocale Currently we are using our wrapper API and widgets. QJalaliDate, QJalaliDateTime, QJalaliDateEdit, QJalaliDateTimeEdit are completed and QJalaliCalendarWidget is being developed. None of course are not satisfying. So, I would like to know what current status is. And is there any schedule, plan, or discussion on the subject? Cheers, Soroush
