Hi,
I think a lot of developers/companies will have pain because of this,
if they have
1) some large customers staying on Windows 7 until really EOL for
them
Not really an opinion about this but this changelog entry from a
release two weeks ago came to mind.
"Updated the included Qt library to version 4.8.7." ;) ... And
that company has a big market share.
In the industry lots of companies lag behind ... a ... bit. But I
would suspect those who lag behind with their Windows version to also
do not mind lagging behind with their Qt versions.
And since Qt 5.15 will be supported for quite some time ... But as I
said, I am not in favor of or against one or another.
Do you have a customer who actually runs on Windows 7 and is otherwise
eager to jump on Qt6 in its early releases? I mean, maintaining old
Windows versions will double in price every year now, so there's some
pressure at least.
I think there is a misunderstanding: The customer will get some
software to
use, they don't care if it uses internally Qt X.Y or whatever.
Yep, indeed. I had a different view on the "customer" thing because for
us, the customers mostly deliver the software. :)
I get your point now.
Cheers
Frederik
