The new browser / QT5
jailbird:
Qt 6.0 is already in the planning stages. So hopefully we won’t have to go through this all yet again.
Dmitriy Kuminov:
This really depends on how they decide to go. They made Qt 5 much more modular and plugin based (compared to Qt 4 and earlier) and this is a good thing. It simplifies things a lot (in terms of support and porting to new platforms as well). Therefore I suppose they will leave the overall structure intact this time. Which means less work bringing it to OS/2.

Hi All
Will there be an email/newsreader client to go with the new browser?

VOICE is working on an updated version of PMMail that I believe will be available for for all to use. I don't know if a newsreader is in the works.
Tuure Linden:
QT seems to be a bit problematic because they release new major versions "all the time". In the Linux World the KDE desktop and other software follows QT. Usually when a new version of QT is available, the older one is abandoned soon. I'm just wondering how long time it takes that the "new" browser becomes obsolete and QT6 will have to be ported. And how much work that will be again... But there are now other alternatives than a QT based browser?
