Yes. We should support and probably also require Qt 3.2 for the KDE 3.2 release. All I'm trying to say is that we should be very careful about when and how we introduce the _requirement_ for Qt 3.2, i.e. when we give up support for Qt 3.1.x. > > trouble it causes for application developers who are forced to upgrade Qt > > without gaining anything. > > I would agree to an extent, but if the developers are using CVS HEAD then > the least of their problems should be compiling a new Qt. If all goes well it costs some hours to compile it. We can save many developers this time, if we wait until the major distributions provide binary packages. > > It's a frustrating experience, if you want to quickly fix a bug and then > > realize that you first have to compile a new version of Qt, before you > > can test your fix.
