Guess it is a matter of defining "available" :)
AFAIK Qt 5.13 was not available just by the change of a data point in a table.
It would have needed people investing their resources into scratching that
itch to create respective custom packages for at least some of the CI-
supported operating systems. As well as potentially any other 3rd-party
libraries/tools using Qt API that was built/packaged against newer Qt.
Cheers
