I can certainly appreciate your concern here. Our final Qt 5.15 release is an LTS release for commercial customers. This means we will continue to have support for Windows 7 development under Standard Support until roughly January 2022 with the option to then buy Extended Support and remain on

Hi, with Qt 6 approaching it is time to have a look at our set of supported platforms. One candidate for removal of support was Windows 7. Some considerations about dropping this support have been communicated on Qt's development mailing list in March last year [1] and there were some discus

We certainly shouldn’t start documenting the macros now in 5.15.1. IMO they should simply unconditionally expand to static_assert(). I’d also be ok if someone wants to do a search and replace s/Q_STATIC_ASSERT/static_assert/ in our source code. But I don’t think we should do much more right n

Hi, I don't care much about when we remove these macros, as it makes sense to keep using them in Qt 6 for code that will be backported to 5. What I don't agree with is to go to extra lengths to deprecate (that would be cutting our own flesh, if we retain the macros for the above-mentioned us
