The rollout of the core modules if KDE without the rest was a disaster and I was shocked, disappointed, and perplexed as to why anyone would do it. So there is Qt6? No one I know is targeting it. Way to make all that work irrelevant, or at least less relevant than a Qt 5.16 release would have been. (Binary/API promises aside) I'm really dismayed and confused as anyone would repeat the rollout of KDE. Xfce and GNOME are crushing KDE, and I attribute that to the way they rolled it out. In this day to not have multimedia a part of that... Just wow... The older and stable modules I could understand, QtSQL? Sure. But it creates an idea of "it's not ready yet" so no one targets it. I anticipate that 5.15 will require a doubly long LTS period as a result. _______________________________________________ Interest mailing list Interest@qt-project.org https://lists.qt-project.org/listinfo/interest
