Plans for a new release #296

Hi, I was a user of Merkaartor a long time ago, I prefer it instead JOSM. I back to contributing with OpenStreetMaps and was checking Merkaartor and saw the last released version is from 2021. I like to ask if a new release(19.1?) is coming since I saw the nightly is on build 141.

Also if you have plans to use Qt6 in future, if you will stay using QtWidgets or gonna move to QML/QtQuick.

Thanks in advance!

Well, I was actually planning to do a release, but got stuck in a non-working build for MacOS. I'll likely do the release anyway and hope somebody is willing to pick that up - maintaining Mac & Windows builds is a big burden that always slows the momentum... Any chance you're a user of one of these platforms? ;-)

Anyway, master branch has Qt6 support and I have a working version of OAuth flow (need to finish GUI for it).

I am in the process to create a Hackintosh machine on Proxmox, is a Proof of Concept to test compile an app from my employeer which isn't on a CI/CD pipeline, using GitLab Runner. Said that, I could try see if I can be able to build Merkaartor on it.

That would be great. Especially if it could be faster than the current github runner (which works, but takes a loong time). But the main problem is that Mac stuff breaks quite a bit and TBH I don't have much interest debugging Mac stuff.
