Hi all,
I'm seeing lately many new crash reports in bugzilla which are with
Qt 5.8.0,
and some even backtraces that i never seen.
Knowing the big problems that Qt 5.8.0 had, I've come to thinking
that to make
even more obvious that 5.8.0 is discouraged, to make cmake fail in
plasma-
workspace with exactly that version (with 5.8 from branch or 5.9
still fine) so
if a distribution really wants that combination would have to patch
it, making
it obvious it's their problem, and not supported.
What do you think?
We probably should strongly advice distributions to not use Qt 5.8.0.
I informed them about the Wayland issue, but told them to also ignore
it if it doesn't matter to them.
So if we have more issues we should tell distros about it. It just
makes all of us look bad if there are known issues and distros ship it
without better knowledge.
one such issue that hits my brain with Qt.5.8 and breaks the right
click menu experience and I dont see to be resolved even at 5.9 is :
