I've already had one customer contact me concerned about this news, and wondering what it meant for QGIS. A blog post showing our support for the open-source/KDE side of Qt + stating the impact on QGIS would be helpful all round I think. My 2c (regarding the impact on QGIS, if this went ahead): Honestly, it's likely to be minimal. Because: 1. Qt Company really do very little maintenance on the parts of Qt the QGIS desktop/server applications use. The changelogs for the core/gui/widget libraries for new Qt releases + patches are very minimal, and bug reports filed against these components get basically no attention from Qt Company. Their priorities over the recent years have been elsewhere (in the embedded + automotive + mobile space), and all the interesting changes coming into core/gui/widgets are coming from elsewhere (e.g. KDAB were/are behind the whole qt 3d framework, and they've already stated that they'd follow a community driven fork [1]) 2. Despite one initial reply on the KDE list stating that there's insufficient manpower to support a community fork [2], the rest of the discussion on the qt mailing list is quite positive about the community's ability to maintain a fork 3. A community fork would likely end up being great for Qt (my opinion). It certainly had a huge positive impact on OpenOffice/LibreOffice. Qt is currently REALLY difficult for new contributors to contribute to, so it's possible a community driven fork with more of a collaborative focus would see a bunch of new contributors coming in. Certainly the talk on the Qt mailing lists over the last 1-2 years has shown a huge amount of dissatisfaction with the leadership and direction taken by the Qt Company, and complaints about how out of touch they are with their user's needs. 4. Our releases are generally quite slow to adopt new Qt library versions anyway, so a 12 month delay from a new release is likely to have minimal impact (e.g. our Windows builds are based on a version of qt which is nearly 2 years old). It'd be nice if we updated more often, but the current situation is reflective of the fact that there's no particular compelling reasons to upgrade to a more recent Qt version! Let me rephrase that for emphasis: **in the last 2 years, there hasn't been ANY change made in Qt which would have had big enough impact on QGIS users to warrant the effort required for the package update**. (Compare that with how far QGIS has come in the same time frame... I certainly wouldn't recommend that ANYONE even THINK of running QGIS 3.2 today!!!) The biggest impact it would have would be on the Qfield and Input mobile apps, which rely heavily on QML. Qt company **is** actively working on QML, and these updates are useful -- partly because QML still has huge feature gaps preventing it being used as a real alternative to Qt widgets, and partly because it's still buggy and they are still fixing their messes ;).

That's true, but it seems The QT Company has been lately testing the open source side of the QT community, with this recent event and the announcement in January to keep the LTS branches closed for 12 months, to apparently try getting more concessions in the contract with the KDE Free Qt foundation. And even in their above correction post, they remain super vague and don't answer the points that would be wrong in Olaf Schmidt-Wishhöfer post I doubt that the QT company would decide to go for the plan of delaying the open source version by 12 months, as the consequence (the last version of QT being potentially released as BSD) could actually quite harm their own business by allowing other commercial forks! But whatever the outcome of the apparently cool discussions within the board of the KDE Free Qt foundation between the KDE e.v and QT Company representatives, I don't think a statement of support from QGIS.org to the open source side of the QT project would hurt. As far as which body to officially support, this is a bit difficult. As the board of the KDE Free Qt foundation is made of 2 representatives from KDE e.V and 2 from The QT Company, it seems difficult to imagine that it would continue to exist as such, or be still relevant, in the event The QT company would execute their 12-month-delay plan. And before financially supporting the KDE Free Qt foundation or whatever other body would represent best the interests of a FOSS QT (I guess a new body gathering together KDE, KDAB and all other parties would be more relevant in the event a FOSS QT fork would be needed), we should probably have a look at its current finances/budget (from a quick search, couldn't find one regarding KDE Free Qt foundation, apart from the 200 000 KRO founding capital mentionned in their status [1]) In the discussion thread, I see a message from the KDE e.V vice president ([2]) opening discussion lines.

Hi Paolo, We didn't have any contact with the QT Company, but with KDAB in Germany, which is a different company that does QT development, as far as I know.

[QGIS-Developer] libprotobuf-lite.dll dependency QGIS-dev osgeo4w?
Hi, I have a osgeo4w install somewhere with QGIS-dev on it. The (manual) update today failed because: libprotobuf-lite.dll was not found. After searching in the lib part of the osgeo4w installer I found a lib protobuf and installed that one. After that QGIS installed fine. Is this a missing dependency maybe? Or is it an artifact because of the manual updates?

I have firstly create the test to confirm the bug https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/35060 The issue is that the anchored point of a legend layout item is reset when the QGIS Server performs a print. I cannot reproduce the issue with QGIS Desktop. The anchored point is never reset whatever the options and configurations of the associated map. I did not find how the anchored point can be reset for a layout item. Thanks in advanced for your help.
