</div></div>Fwiw, Qt upstream takes both api and abi stability pretty seriously<br>
(official public interfaces). If you experience any concrete<br>
incompatibilities after upgrading, it's arguably a bug worth fixing.<br></blockquote><div><br></div></span><div>Yes, but doesn't the change in the name of the .so require a rebuild? <br></div></div></div></div>
<br></blockquote><div><br></div></div></div><div>So we can't speak in circles for a bit longer... what .so are you seeing this happen with. Yes a changed so will break a build so if it is happening then it needs to be looked and dealt with. A library may update itself but not bump the .so <br></div></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Sorry, I let this topic go for a while. It appears that the change in the name of the .so didn't not require a rebuild for Qt Creator to continue working, so I guess it's not a problem.<br><br></div><div>On another note, a bugzilla was just opened to request that Qt Creator be updated inline with Qt 5 ( <a href="https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1282668">https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1282668</a> ). I'm going to assume that since it appears that everyone is ok with Qt 5 being updated in EPEL that it's ok for Qt Creator to be updated as well.<br><br></div><div>Any objections?<br></div></div></div></div>
