The topic that comes up automatically is Qt5 port as there’s no sense of porting kdelibs when we can use their counterparts already in Qt5. What’s the porting status? If I assume correctly some of the work can be done simualteanously. As patches direct qt5 usage suits Mac port as well This and next week I will be using linux only as I’m going to my hometown. Maybe it’s even better as I still have pending issues in qt4 version that I would like to do.
