I just noticed that the buildbots (and presumably the releases) are using the opengl version of QT, whereas I've always used the angle version in my local builds.

The QT page on the choice (http://qt-project.org/wiki/Qt-5-on-Windows-ANGLE-and-OpenGL) implies that the angle version is more general purpose and required if you want to use RDP or QTMultimedia video.

Has there been an explicit discussion on the QT version that I've missed, or should we discuss this now?

Hi Graham,

I don't think this was ever discussed. As RDP is a quite common usage on Windows (as seen with the GTK2 specific memory bug reports we got), ANGLE would seem to be the best choice. The drawback of dropping Windows XP support is not an issue as we already decided to stop supporting it officially.

Regards,

Pascal.
