LyX 1.5 is released now, why not drop the requirement Qt >= 4.1?
This is becoming tedious. Any bells and whistles may be added
through conditional compilation without the need for bumping
the requirements. So, if you like candies, you can use the latest
versions, and if you like efficiency, you are not forced to use them
simply for the flashing lights. Then, you cannot pretend that anyone
should install a new version because of an unessential feature.
The main worry here, I think, has more to do with qt-designer. If
This was not aimed at you, of course.
No, I didn't think it was.
That was an error, and we all make errors. However, if you use the latest Qt
version for development, you simply cannot be sure that you are not using a
latest-version-only feature.
The qt docs are pretty good about identifying differences, and I check
those if I'm at all unsure. Unfortunately, Designer doesn't have such
warnings, and so far as I can see there's no `compatibility' mode. There
should be.
Now that I know, I'll just make sure to check this before committing.
