I agree here. Is Qt 6.5 now using an API or a compiler feature that macOS 10.15 does not support? If that is the case then sure I agree with the change. If you are changing "just to change" then I don't really agree. I sort of get the argument that "Apple stopped supporting 10.15" but what impli

Hi, I totally subscribe this statement from Robert. We are starting to develop a new application with Qt 6.4.1. Qt 6 is still very bug prone and we will keep stumbling on them and you will probably keep releasing new version of Qt 6 rather fix versions of Qt 6.4.X Our users are very conservati
