[QGIS-Developer] Switching to KDE fork of Qt for Windows builds?

[Loïc Bartoletti]

Hi,

I haven't looked at the patches that interest us, but for information, 
Qt 5.15.3 was released, ok, but it's an one year old release. You have 
to apply some patches.

For example, we had qt 5.15.2p263 and we'll have soon 5.15.3p132 (aka 
132 patches since the release of 5.15.3).

Regards.

Loïc
