Decrease minimal version of Qt6 #248

Closed data-man closed 2 years ago

data-man commented 2 years ago

Many distributions don't have version Qt 6.3, e.g. Devuan. I successfully built FN with version 6.2.4.

Thanks for caring about these things!

Qt6 is changing and, in some places, it has silently become very different from Qt5. I don't want the extra hassle of checking every method for deprecation.

Those with older versions of Qt6 could compile the source against Qt5 and lose nothing (for now) — Qt 5.15 will be supported for a long time.

It's a strange attitude. Don't you want more FN popularity?

tsujan commented 2 years ago

It isn't an attitude. It's based on years of experience in using Qt and following its development.
