[Qgis-developer] QGIS 3.0?

[Matthias Kuhn]

Hi,

The confusion comes from that there are two different things:

 * Qt5 compatibility
 * Qt5 binaries

The first one is a thing about the QGIS source code (qt5 branch).
The second one is about compiling/packaging.

The first step does not break anything. And allows to deprecate certain
features (e.g. qgshttptransaction) to allow for a smooth transition. It
is possible to write code that works with both versions.

The second step may actually break things. But that is not tied to a
version tag in our git repository but to a packagers decision.

*TL;DR:*

 *  Introducing Qt5 support in the QGIS source code does not break anything.
 *  Your distro actually shipping QGIS {2,3} compiled against Qt5 may
break stuff.
