Thank you for the heads-up. I think this should eventually become a blog post, a changelog note in 6.7, and needs some documentation notes -- users deserve to be notified visibly in advance.
There is still a number of aspect that IMHO need to be addressed:* If Qt3D is not bundled with the Qt installer, how are users going to install it? I'd really want a very practical solution; ideally a CMake command that does everything (for instance: is Qt3D found in your Qt build? Then use it, otherwise fetch+build "the right version" from sources.).
* What branching and release model is Qt3D going to have? Is it still promising API/ABI compat in the future? Will it evolve towards a more complicated model like Webengine?
* Is Qt3D going to be under Qt's CI *after* 6.8? Thanks, -- Giuseppe D'Angelo | giuseppe.dang...@kdab.com | Senior Software Engineer KDAB (France) S.A.S., a KDAB Group company Tel. France +33 (0)4 90 84 08 53, http://www.kdab.com KDAB - Trusted Software Excellence
