Re: [Texmacs-dev] Qt6 branch

[Massimiliano Gubinelli]

I think we need to target Qt6 right away and remove all the legacy code and hacks we accumulated to go around the various bugs in Qt4.*. There will be other bugs maybe but Qt has already shifted their focus to Qt6 and if we target Qt5 I'm worried that in a couple of years we will be in the same situation as now wrt. Qt4. 

If I understand correclty the intentions of Joris we would support Qt4 for TeXmacs 2.1 for a while, until we have a new stable version with Qt5/6 and with some code restructuring I'm planning to do on the Qt code. Also we can address the problem with Scheme there.

Btw, I made a small experiment with different icons, more similar to those present in some Mac apps.

When will we switch from Qt 4 to Qt 5?

Will we drop support for Qt 4 later?

How about dropping Qt 4 support and support Qt 5 by default and support Qt 6 for experimental purpose?

Dear all,

I've just moved the 'qt6' branch into the github.com/texmacs organisation repository, so that all the developers have access to it without need for PR.

It is now here:

https://github.com/texmacs/texmacs/tree/qt6

This is an experimental branch that contains patches to run TeXmacs on Qt6 (and so far also Qt5). I'm using it on my Mac and it works fine but expect maybe some bugs. It would be interesting to test it on Windows.

Best regards,
Massimiliano Gubinelli
