Re: 2.6 branch planning and post-branch changes

[Roland Knall <rknall () gmail com>]

Qt 5.9 would be a possible candidate for moving. 5.10.x has a bug on Windows, just open the interface management and 
hide some ifs. Works on Mac and Linux though. 

5.6 would be the conservative choice. If we really move boldly and remove a bunch of things, I would move to the 
highest possible version with Qt 

Btw, Developer Lightning Talks in SF{A,U}S would be a great place to present a detailed migration plan

Cheers
