Re: [Paraview] Dropping Qt 4 support from ParaView 5.5 onwards

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

Great! Our official release binaries will indeed use Qt 5.9, but we
probably want to keep the required min version for building ParaVeiw
at 5.6 for reasons Dave mentioned.

 Also I would vote to jump all the way to Qt 5.9 since it is a LTS 
release and you can stabilize on Qt 5.9 for the next 3 years at least 
where as Qt 5.6 is only supported in a security bug fix from here on 
for another 2 years. I don't think Qt is going to add support for 
newer operating systems so if something breaks on newer releases of 
macOS or Windows Qt made it sound like they would not fix Qt 5.6

+1.
 Also I would vote to jump all the way to Qt 5.9 since it is a LTS 
release and you can stabilize on Qt 5.9 for the next 3 years at least 
where as Qt 5.6 is only supported in a security bug fix from here on for 
another 2 years. I don't think Qt is going to add support for newer 
operating systems so if something breaks on newer releases of macOS or 
Windows Qt made it sound like they would not fix Qt 5.6

Folks,

Continuing with dropping of support for legacy components, I wanted to
raise the question of dropping support for Qt older than 5.6 starting
with ParaView 5.5 (planned for Nov 2017).

Qt 5.6 has been out since March 2016 and is a LTS release. Qt 4 is no
longer maintained and does not support newer macOS versions, Windows 10
or retina displays. Supporting Qt 4 and 5 together is not only causing
code complexity, but also straining our testing resources.

If there are strong reasons to continue supporting Qt 4 beyond the
upcoming ParaView 5.4 release, please make us aware before June 30,
2017. One can always use older versions of ParaView, if required.
