Well this really sounds like a bad joke. I took from Qt5's message QPainter is "done", i. e. frozen for good. Now you're saying that QPainter will be marked deprecated in Qt5 and dropped in Qt6? That'd be similar to POSIX proclaiming to deprecate "open()" and drop it next year. Can any Trolltech official confirm that QPainter is going to stay just like open() in POSIX, stable, non-morphing, and reliable? Or confirm the opposite? mfg Leo
