I can't remember who it was who had a problem with depending on Qt >= 4.5.0 last time. It was something fairly trivial, and it was of no real consequence to pull back to 4.4.x that time. So now I've got a QStringList that contains 183 entries, and only 3 of them are not duplicates. There's QStringList::removeDuplicates() which solves this problem with one line of code, and it's pretty damn attractive, I have to say. Given that Thorn's new target is February of next year, even the newest Ubuntu LTS will have Qt 4.5 by then. Sure, I could replace removeDuplicates() with some hand written code to do the same job, but that just seems like a lot of energy to support a minority of holdouts who won't have gotten with the times by next February. I'm inclined to use this, officially raise the minimum Qt version to 4.5.0 (which also dramatically improves our graphics rendering performance) and call it a day. Does anybody have any serious objections? -- D. Michael McIntyre |

Well, that pretty much settles that then. I can't leave out the people who want to run Debian Stable over one line of code. Their last release was recent, and it looks like they're already dragging their feet on the new policy they're trying to adopt with timed releases. The new timeline will be announced next month. If I know Debian, this just about guarantees Squeeze will come out waaaaay behind schedule. At least the current Debian Stable does have Qt 4.4.x though, so at this point it's a viable target if we change one line of code. I'll do that before merging the branch then. Oh well. Thanks for the input, everybody. -- D. Michael McIntyre |

I'm still on 8.10 at home (4.4.2, IIRC), but I think I can move translation activity to work until I upgrade to 9.10. Alexandre |
