I would expect LTS to be a safe, conservative choice, but I may be wrong. My experience with Qt is that .0 releases often had bugs. Therefore I waited for 4.8.1 etc. I also see that bugs are often not fixed for older releases. With the LTS versions QT went another way. Now they try to backport the major bugfixes. Therefore I would like to use the latest Qt LTS version. This is still version 5.6 (just a year old). They plan to release a new bugfix version of 5.6 soon. regards Uwe

Hello, A question: do we have compelling reasons to use this instead of Qt 5.6 LTS? I have not followed the recent Qt development, but I find it depressing that we have to use the latst and greatest because anything older has significant issues. I would expect LTS to be a safe, conservative choice, but I may be wrong. JMarc
