Hi,

Let's create (if not yet created) and link the QTBUG JIRA tasks for Qt 5.9 and 
Qt 5.12 to the mailing list. Continue discussion there. Easier than mailing 
list for this type of a task.

In principle switch to new version should be well justified. We just need to 
check the practicalities.

We already have OpenSSL in use by the installer, but it is not currently a 
shipped 3rd party module of Qt. As long as it is not enabled by default for Qt 
apps, we could add it like we typically do for 3rd party items. 

Yours,

        Tuukka

    We will check this. I know there is already work ongoing to switch that in 
dev (https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/244362/)
