Hi! I'm still using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS with KDE4 desktop where is Qt4 in use. I'm not going to update to new Ubuntu version until current one is supported and I would like to use Trojita... So I'm not happy with change to drop Qt4 support... Same is with KDE4 plugins. -- Pali Rohár pali.ro...@gmail.com
