I think we've settled on 5.6, at least for Windows. It's the "Long Term Support" branch of Qt5 and will be supported until March 2019. I'll update the WSDG accordingly.
WSDG sec 2.2.4 doesn't really say (although shows 5.5 in the example). WSDG sec 2.2.10 (which I just happened to see) says 5.6.1 The Master buildbot seems to be using 5.3 Also: wdsg sec 2.2.4 implies that the "OpenGL" version should be used. Is this correct ?Update: I now see that master is actually using QT 5.6 so I'll use that version. (I was wrongly looking at a Wireshark 2.2 builder).
The master-2.2 Windows builders *should've* been updated to use Qt 5.6 but it looks like I missed that. I'll rectify it shortly.
Still not sure about Open-GL vs not Open-GL ?
Prior to version 5.5 Qt on Windows could use either OpenGL or ANGLE and depending on its build-time configuration: http://wiki.qt.io/Qt-5-on-Windows-ANGLE-and-OpenGL The OpenGL version was recommended if you didn't actually use OpenGL since it required fewer dependencies. Versions 5.5 and later handle this at run time and only offer one choice per compiler+architecture: https://wiki.qt.io/New_Features_in_Qt_5.5 ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev () wireshark org> Archives: https://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://www.wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
