So just to be clear:
nice people spend the minimum effort wrapping imports in try--except-with-Qt4 blocks and other
compatibility shims, so XP users aren't left out. (Users who don't
want to download an update will have to decide if the plugin is worth it, there is nothing wrong with using old versions but it's worth noting that every bug response starts with "does this problem manifest on the latest version also".
)
If it doesn't work, don't lose any sleep over it, the same way those users will not have access to other 2.x features, this won't work either.
No effort will be spent on
bending over backward to use legacy APIs.
Now that we have a definition of "nice people" that matches what (most) every other plugin developer is already doing, are we all happy, since we apparently agreed all along?
@
stanking,
I anticipate seeing cool stuff from you and I am confident you will make a good judgment call on whether it is worth your time to support Qt4 or not -- without anyone else's direction.
