Just a quick heads-up that we have chosen a new name for the Lighthouse platform (as discussed the Remodelling post). The Subcommittee of Renaming has been hard at work in the intervening months, reviewing and considering all the 17576 possible TLAs.
We ended up with: QPA.
Unfortunately, the precise meaning was lost in the subcommittee paperwork, so we no longer know what the abbreviation stands for. However, we can guess: "Q" almost certainly stands for Q and "A" could be Architechture. "P" is more problematic (no, not that), but might be something like Platform, Process or Plugin.
The changes have already been pushed to the repository. The practical consequences are:
-
configure -embedded-liteis nowconfigure -qpa(but the old way still works). Q_WS_LITEis now Q_WS_QPA- The
_litefilename convention is changed, soqplatformintegration_lite.his nowqplatformintegration_qpa.h(but you don't care about that, because you were smart and includedQtGui/QPlatformIntegration, right?) - Since we were already renaming:
QGraphicsSystemCursoris nowQPlatformCursor
The codename is still Lighthouse, though. In other news, I have been taking pictures of lighthouses:
