Minimum Qt version for 0.20

Post by shiftee »

Hi,

Has the minimum supported Qt version for 0.20 been decided?
If so it should probably be noted on the release page: https://wiki.freecadweb.org/Release_notes_0.20

Regards,
Mark

Are minimal lib versions defined for current dev cycle yet?
That would be cool to set up a CI job that builds and tests against them so we are sure that new code doesn't use a function that has been later introduced (that happened to me some times). ;)

@wmayer has previously stated a desire for us to continue to support the major still-in-support LTS distros, so if we carry on with that strategy we'll continue to support Ubuntu 18.04 as the oldest distro, same as 0.20. Which means the same library support as well.

I personally probably wouldn't notice any difference with the minimum version choice, but I'll say going out of the way to support 18.04 is kind pointless IMO, we don't have a working PPA and the other distribution methods don't care what libraries 18.04 has, plus it's going EOL next year, and I don't think next version will be out before that.
