****************************************************************************
- Support for the following platforms or toolchains is deprecated in Qt
5.5 and may be removed or stop compiling in a future version of Qt:
5.5 and will be removed as of Qt 5.6:
* Apple OS X builds using GNU libstdc++
* BlackBerry 10
* GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) versions 4.6 and earlier
* QNX 6.5
The following platforms or toolchains are deprecated and will be
removed as of Qt 5.7:
* Apple OS X 10.7 (Lion)
* GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) versions 4.6 and earlier
* Microsoft Visual Studio compiler versions 2008 and 2010
* Microsoft Windows XP, Windows Vista
* Microsoft Windows Embedded Compact 7
Note: QNX 6.6 continues to be supported.
- The QtWebKit, QtScript modules and support for the QML 1 language and
QtQuick 1 is deprecated and Qt 5.5 will be the last release to
include them. Starting with Qt 5.6, the source code for those modules
will not be included in Qt's packaging. Compiling the 5.5 release of
those modules along with other, updated Qt 5.6 modules should work.
Deprecated platforms and toolchains continue to work until removed.
- The QtWebKit and QtQuick1 modules and support for the QML 1 language
are deprecated and Qt 5.5 will be the last release to include
them. Starting with Qt 5.6, the source code for those modules will
not be included in Qt's packaging. Compiling the 5.5 release of
QtWebKit modules along with Qt 5.6 or future versions should
work. QtQuick1 is not guaranteed to work in future versions after
Qt 5.6.
- The QtScript module is deprecated and will be removed from Qt's
packaging starting with version 5.7. The 5.5 and 5.6 releases of
QtScript should continue to work along with Qt 5.7 and future
versions.
- [QTBUG-25121] The usage of the QStyleOptionProgressBar::orientation
member has been deprecated.

****************************************************************************
* Future Direction Notice *
****************************************************************************
- In Qt 6, QCoreApplication::notify() will not be called for events being
delivered to objects outside the main thread. The reason for that is
that the main application object may begin destruction while those
threads are still delivering events, which is undefined behavior.
Applications that currently override notify() and use that function
outside the main thread are advised to find other solutions in the mean
time.
- Qt 5.7 will begin requiring certain C++11 features in order to
compile. The minimum compiler versions for that release will be:
* Clang 3.2 (included in XCode 5.0)
* GCC 4.7
* Intel C++ Composer XE 2013 SP1 (compiler version 14.0)
* Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 (compiler version 17.0)
