[qmc2-devel] QMC2 and Qt 5

[R. R. <ren...@ba...>]

BTW... one of the next steps will be to "port" QMC2 to Qt 5 as it's announced  
to be released by the end of June -- see http://qt-project.org/wiki/Qt-5.

The porting effort itself is actually expected to be quite small, and of 
course, Qt 4.7 and esp. 4.8 will continue to be supported by QMC2 for at least 
a year or so, well, at least until all major Linux distributions have Qt 5 in 
their "portfolio" :). However, there are a few interesting new features & 
modules in Qt 5 I might start using earlier (Qt5-only then, of course), and 
most importantly, GUI performance is said to be a major step forward. Well, 
we'll see -- it's not bad in Qt 4 already :)!

I haven't checked the Qt 5 alpha-release yet (it was released on the 20th of 
March 2012), and I also don't plan to do so. I will either wait for the beta-
version (expected for April/May) or check out the git-repository... probably 
the latter.

I'll let you know the results when I find the time to do this stuff!

Have fun, René
