Hi,
For both WEC7 and WEC13 Qt 5.6 should be a very good release to use, while for
WEC13 also Qt 5.7 is an option. However as Qt 5.6 is a LTS release supporting
both WEC7 and WEC13, it is a very good baseline. With Qt 5.6.0 the WEC13 is
still experimental, but target is to have it supported equally well as WEC7 is
within Qt 5.6.x patch level releases.
Yours,
Tuukka

Subject: Re: [Development] Supported platforms for Qt 5.8
This is a deja vu to me, somehow.
please have a look at this discussion
https://www.mail-archive.com/search?l=development@qt-project.org&q=subject:%22Re%5C%3A+%5C%5BDevelopment%5C%5D+QtCS%5C%3A+Long+Term+Release+discussion%22&o=newest&f=1
To quote myself:
"
Hi Björn, i had the assumption you could mean that, but thats not a
knowledge base article. I think you mean Compact 2013 uses the Microsoft
Visual Studio 2013 compiler,? That part was also sent to me by a colleage
from another department when discussing v8 usage( as this has vs2013
depedancy according to wiki). So we startet a MS Request to clear this
issue. The answer was that the arcticle is wrong here."
MS promised to fix that article but maybe they need some more years for that.
By the way I am strongly against droping wec2013 support after just one other
version, actually support for wec2013
has not yet arrived yet. So this is probaly unique for a platform supported by
qt , where the deprecation announcement comes before the release of the actual
platform support.
There is also a some importat stuff missing for wec2013 in qt 5.6 beta like no
quick2 controls support, no webkit/engine support and no multimedia support,
no neon intrinsics support, no openssl support, no sse2 support.
Regards,
Gunnar Roth

That link clearly states that the MSVC2013 compiler is now used with
WEC2013 Update 5 and 11, as is the latest C runtime. So, this indeed
looks like a compiler and C runtime upgrade, not simply the new IDE
targeting the old compiler.
Maybe someone with a WEC2013 installation can check this out in practice?
