Hey all,

The Qt project have recently been discussing plans for the next major
release (Qt 6). This blog post is a summary of their current plans:

It all seems quite good from a QGIS perspective, and unlikely to be as
large a porting effort as Qt 5 was.

If their time frame of November 2020 for a first release is kept (and
we wait for Qt 6 for QGIS 4.0) then we'd be probably be looking
roughly at a late 2021-mid 2022 timing for QGIS 4.0. (Put it in your
calendars now so you don't forget to install the new version.)
