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.
I just wanna see who objects first ;)
Please, be serious. Qt 4.1.5 was released no more than ten months ago.
Still, I'd be curious to see how many people on X11 use Qt4.1... I bet
not a lot. All the predicted integration problem did not really happened
AFAICS.
FWIW, I don't really care about the bells and whistles, there are enough
of them to use even in Qt 4.0. But I do care about conditional
compilations to avoid bugs in Qt 4.1. I also do care about code
simplification that would results in a switch to 4.2 (I'm thinking about
Edwin's toolbar widget for example).
Abdel.
PS: Qt 4.1.5 was released October 20, 2006. But Qt 3.3.8 was released
February, 14 2007. Yet we don't use it ;-)
