Only commercial licensees will have access to backported fixes for Qt 5.15. There are no changes regarding access to Qt6. Qt 5.12 is LTS and will keep getting public fixes until Dec 2021 too. -- Nicolás

Let me be very clear so there's no mistake: all security issues will be dealt with in all branches, to the extent that we are able to reproduce them and confirm them. We usually identify down to the point release where security issues apply and will continue to do so. All non-security fixes will be available in later branches, per Qt Project policy. Non-commercial users will simply not see them backported (and thus adjusted, if necessary) to the older versions. That unfortunately also means we won't know which commits will be selected for backporting. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago (AT) macieira.info - thiago (AT) kde.org Software Architect - Intel DPG Cloud Engineering

That subject title is misleading. >From a user point of view, there will be no impact. David
