You can ask the SG16 folks for more details, but it's waaaaayyyy too soon to make such a break. There are very serious users whose source code is EBCDIC. In a nutshell, C++ has supported multiple source encodings for a long time, and users rely on that. So sure, it's a shame, but the shame can hardly be avoided by anything else besides a time machine. _______________________________________________ Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org https://lists.qt-project.org/listinfo/development
