Unable to acces new Qt features

[LateusBetelgeuse]

The wrapper is very outdated

From the beginning, my biggest affair about switching from using Qt with the official C++/Python to a wrapper was the fact that we would rely on a repository maintained by just one person plus a few more contributors.

I've noticed that therecipe is still relying on the unsupported Qt 5.13, which was released a year and half ago, while Qt 5.14 was released a year ago, Qt 5.15 half year ago, and the next major version, Qt 6.0, at our doors, coming in a few days. What is more, therecipe has not included any new feature since Qt 5.13.

And after made a quick git log, I realized that, indeed, no relevant changes to the repository has been done in the last year and half.

Any good notice?

Yes. Many bugfixes will be still available just by running qtsetup over the latest version of Qt 5.

But...

All Qt 6 new features, bugfixes and performance improvements will not be available at all since is not source-compatible with Qt 5, so it's no possible to run qtsetup against Qt 6.

So... what's the solution?

Be patients. This is a blocker for many issues.
