Copperspice forked at the time of Qt 4.8 and has had since then a couple thousands commits from a dozen contributors - in the meantime Qt itself had literally tens of thousands of commits, bugfixes, new features, etc from hundreds of contributors
- ptx 6y agoA lot of those commits are related to features some people might not care about. For example, I imagine a lot of work has been done on the JavaScript compiler for QML - but if only use QWidgets, that's irrelevant to me.
- jcelerier 6y agoActually I'm only talking about the qtbase repo (core, gui, widgets, network...) in the Qt case, while for copperspice since they forked before 5.0 it's still a monorepo and the commits encompass everything (eg same that for Qt, plus script, WebKit and a few others they kept).
