Phoronix: KDE Frameworks 6 Progresses By Porting Code Away From Deprecated Functions

Back in November was the first of several KDE Frameworks 6 developer sprints as plans begin to formulate for this evolutionary frameworks upgrade due out not until well after the Qt 6.0 tool-kit release. While Qt6 itself is still in flux, KDE Frameworks 6 efforts continue moving along by focusing on porting code away from deprecated KF5 functionality...

It's really nice to see projects that take depreciation seriously and move code away from apis scheduled for removal. And, like, actually remove them instead of lugging around "deprecations" forever.

It's actually back now, so we'll see how it goes.

Yep, you have to refactor every so often, to get rid of accumulated cruft. You always pay the technical debt eventually; better to do it every so often, rather than in one (insurmountable) lump.

What about moving more KDE Frameworks cruft into Qt itself in a same, intelligent and elegant way? I consider KDE Frameworks as a sign of Qt lacks, better collaborate and solve that instead.

In the meanwhile, better Vulkan and Wayland support.

I just saw 2 posts of him. Was that his ghost typing?

Qt doesn't lack much. You can create beautiful desktops with just Qt too, Deepin proves that.

...I thought Deepin used HTML5?

I don't think so, I consider more probable that he's less impulsive after the ban.
