Hi Andrey, there is still no real plan to update to Qt6 any time soon. I simply lack the time and resource due to private matters.
I was able to skim some time over the last days to get something half baked: https://github.com/kiozen/qmapshack/tree/porting_qt6 This is still based on the Core5Compat modules as I couldn't find a way to get rid of QTextCodec. Translation is broken. It's based on some wacky macros someone insisted to use ages ago. This has to be brought up-to-date what ever is considered "the right way" these days. Probably the whole help system is broken, too. It was quite wacky in Qt5. I am sure it needs more tweaks for Qt6 I have no time to test these changes. As I almost touched every file this has to be tested extensively. This includes testing all kind of maps (Garmin, JNX and GDAL). All kinds of devices (Garmin, TwoNav). The database stuff should be fairly safe. But better save files than sorry. If no one is actively picking up that branch I assume QMapShack will reach end of life when Qt5 is dumped. Sorry for that. I wish I still would have the time to maintain QMapShack properly. But this will not be the case for the next years coming. Oliver > Gesendet: Montag, 02.
