Can you provide a source for this?
- nu11ptr 4y agoNot sure there is anything official, but I just uncovered this sentiment in my research after scouring tons of chat forums, etc. while researching GUI toolkits. There seems to be an understanding that QtWidgets is in "maintenance mode" and I'm told hasn't seen any new features in a while. I've also noticed many existing projects discussing migrating to QML (many don't, however, due to the amount of work).
- ranger_danger 4y agoDid you even read the article? They literally just announced new features for Widgets, in the section titled "Useful new features in Qt Widgets".
- toyg 4y agoPretty much all the material they've pushed for, uhm, almost 15 years...? Widgets are still supported (because they work, and they are used by lots of faithful Qt customers), but QML is where they've put pretty much all their development focus since the late 2000s.
- stagger87 4y agoI apologize for the confusion. I was addressing the remark, New projects are typically encouraged to use QML I think I wasn't wondering where they were putting their development time.
- stjohnswarts 4y agoI think the point is "by whom" ? Does Qt say that somewhere? I haven't seen it. They certainly push QML, but they certainly are still activatly maintaining and improving their "old fashioned" widgets as well.
- llornkcor 4y agoYou are wrong about development focus. qtbase/qtwidgets are still very much being developed.
