A Windows qt5 release was added for the existing 0.15 release, for backward compatibility.
A while ago 0.13.x didn't start on Win11 due to qt6, don't want that again.

A Windows Qt5-based release has been added to the AVATeR 0.15 downloads, for backward compatibility.

While v0.15 (Qt 6.6) runs fine even on Win10 21H2, in the past v0.13 and older versions failed to start on newer Windows 11 versions due to some Qt 6.2.4 issue. To avoid similar situations, a Qt5 based version has been added; it might also run on older Windows 7/8 systems, as Qt6 requires Win10 at minimum.

Note

- Qt5 lacks some features of Qt6, better HDPI support being one
- included (C++) libraries could still prove incompatible with older Windows versions. It was tested with Win11 23H2 and Win10 21H2.
- Only a .zip archive version is shipped
- used are Qt 5.15.2, build for AMD64 on Win11 23H2 using MSVC 2022.
Development has been slow due to other things, but I'm picking it up again.
