[Development] Qt Version Compatibility wiki article
Hello. I'm seeking the wisdom of Qt developers in order to improve a wiki article that explains Qt's Behaviour/Binary/Source compatibility policy. You can find the article here: http://qt-project.org/wiki/Qt-Version-Compatibility If you don't have a DevNet account and believe that signing up for one is an unacceptable expenditure of your energy, feel free to reply here with your suggestions! :D The idea is to remove all doubt about what can and cannot go into certain versions, and examples are particularly useful. Since it seems that there are also a lot of exceptions and gotchas, it would be nice to use this article as a place to add these. Cheers. ___ Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development
