No, I agree completely. In addition, if our alpha release finds a problem in qt 5.6 beta, then we can make the qt folks aware of it, and might even get a fix in qt 5.6.0. >> Once high-res displays are properly supported and the (Qt) bugs worked >> out, we can again slow down our adaptation of Qt 5.x (and stick with 5.6 >> or 5.7, depending on what works best in the near future). I'd suggest 5.6, since this will be a long term release (the first offical one for qt) as Stephan mentioned. Georg
