Hi, For Qt 6.8 we continue to work on Phase 1 item https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-109360. In other words we will not mandate C++20 compilers in Qt 6.8 yet. An LTS release is not the right for such a breaking change anyway. The possible releases for such a drastic change are 6.9 or 6.12 (releases immediately following an LTS release). Note that I am not cofirming those releases but merely point out which type of releases could be potential options.
Considering the track record we have when getting Phase 1 items into the release and considering existing customer concerns I have a hard time believing that 6.9 is a serious option. This is my personal opinion. -- Alex ________________________________________ From: Development <development-boun...@qt-project.org> on behalf of Thiago Macieira <thiago.macie...@intel.com> Sent: Saturday, 3 February 2024 18:13 To: development@qt-project.org Subject: Re: [Development] About the timeline and phases to support C++20 with and in Qt On Wednesday, 21 December 2022 09:51:52 PST Vladimir Minenko via Development wrote: > We got four user stories on Qt Bug Reports: > > 1.

I'd like to ask that we go to #3 for 6.8 or 6.9. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Cloud Software Architect - Intel DCAI Cloud Engineering -- Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org https://lists.qt-project.org/listinfo/development
