Changed in commit 51d40d7e9bdfc63c5109aef5b732aa2ba10f985a: http://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtbase.git/commit/? id=51d40d7e9bdfc63c5109aef5b732aa2ba10f985a One of the two reasons the commit message says was to avoid the surprise in that it used float in embedded platforms (read: ARM). That rationale is no longer applicable, as we changed qreal to be double in all platforms about one year later: http://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtbase.git/commit/? id=d8bf317546bcfab0b6b50375218429fa9d470705 I think we need to reconsider the storage type for Qt 6.
