Yeah. I had an old plan to support Qt3Support on Qt5 (given how much commercial code exists out there using Qt3Support), but the removal of all QT3_SUPPORT methods makes this rather difficult. We'll see if customer demand brings enough funding for it, but otherwise no qt3support, so no kde3support indeed. > However, some parts of it does not, and could be salvaged.

Well, not every piece of kdelibs-based code out there is actively maintained. -- David Faure, fa...@kde.org, http://www.davidfaure.fr Sponsored by BlueSystems and KDAB to work on KDE Frameworks _______________________________________________ Kde-frameworks-devel mailing list Kde-frameworks-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-frameworks-devel
