I use Qt a lot on smaller embedded targets and I haven't moved to 5. Don't really want to mess with the new windowing system and I can't put Wayland/Weston on a lot of my smaller projects. I'm pretty much locked into 4.8 (and it's eternally open tickets) for life.

> Wayland/Weston on a lot of my smaller projects Huh? Qt5 doesn't require Wayland; I've used it on X.

Qt5 doesn't require Wayland, I'm using Qt 5.5.1 with widgets on embedded environments (X11 included) without problems.

  X11 included Yeah, um, not possible for me. I use the Linux framebuffer and that's it.

And it does support Linux FrameBuffer. http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/embedded-linux.html http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/embedded-linux.html

  The thing to note here is that the stripped out the windowing system implementation for embedded machines. So if you're using framebuffer without X11 or Wayland you're on your own for windowing now, which was previously provided in Qt4. That's my understanding at least, I don't use Qt on embedded platforms though, can anyone confirm this?

    That's my understanding as well. I haven't looked deep enough into the QPA stuff to understand it.

    I don't work on embedded platforms, but it seems Qt5 supports directfb, which can do windowing. http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/embedded-linux.html http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/embedded-linux.html http://stackoverflow.com/a/21489384/331041 http://stackoverflow.com/a/21489384/331041
