Hi, ubuntu-app-platform #26 has Qt 5.6.2 (up from 5.6.1), including around 5 months of upstream LTS bugfixes. It passed QA and everything seems to work normally, but you might find some pet bug to be fixed. Since this is the first point release update done in ubuntu-app-platform I thought to do an announcement.
To recap, the platform snap is mostly to be used by apps that target Ubuntu Personal and require a shared Qt with backported patches and other libraries. For most Qt applications snappers, either simply staging from archives or using the Qt 5.7 / 5.8 cloud parts offering pure upstream Qt are probably more interesting. See the blog post at https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/blog/2016/11/16/snapping-qt-apps/ for more information. Qt 5.6.3 should follow in 6 months or so. -Timo -- Snapcraft mailing list Snapcraft@lists.snapcraft.io Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/snapcraft
