Hi! Can someone tell me why QCoreApplication uses an 'int &argc' type parameter instead of a plain 'int argc'? Does QCoreApplication expect the value to change? Does it change the value by itself? When deriving from QCoreApplication this can cause funny crashes if one forgets to use a referenc

I was pretty clear to me at least, I just think that rules should not carry between major version (from 5 to 6) but only between minor version. As it make not much sense, feature are not fully portable, yeah people should update one day, but it's not as simple as upgrading from a minor version.

Hi Michael, All Qt feature releases are available for all users of Qt. It is just the extended period of long-term support that is available for commercial license holders only. One way to visualize period of available patch releases for open-source users is as follows: Qt 5.13 * Qt

Dear Tuukka, As an open source developer who has used Qt since 2009, I am still a bit confused as to what versions of Qt6 that my open-source project should be using over time? For example, we might be lucky enough to port to the 6.0 release, and then to 6.1. If 6.2 is LTS and commercial o
