Kwiinyanga ezininzi ezidlulileyo sabelana ngeendaba apha kwibhlog malunga nesigqibo abasithathileyo ngaphakathi kwiQt Inkampani malunga nokwenza utshintsho oluthile kwiimodeli zabo zelayisensi kwaye babhengeze ukuba uhlobo lwenkxaso ye-Qt yexesha elide ifakiwe kuphela kwilayisensi zorhwebo, ukongeza kuthintelo ukufikelela kwiprojekthi ngandlela thile.
Kwaye yile nto kwathiwa kuyo uluntu luza kukwazi ukufikelela kwiinguqulelo ezintsha ze-Qt kunyaka omnye emva kokukhutshwa kwazo yokwenyani (ukuba ufuna ukwazi okungakumbi malunga nenqaku, unokujonga kupapasho Kule khonkco ilandelayo).
Ewe, ngoku emva kwelo xesha kudlulile kwiindaba ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, izithintelo zeNkampani yeQt sele iqalile kwaye yiyo loo nto I-Tuukka turunen, UMlawuli woPhuhliso lweNkampani yeQt, kutshanje ndibhengeze isithintelo sokufikelela kwindawo yokugcina imithombo yesebe le-Qt 5.15 LTS, uguqulelo olwakhutshwa kuphela ngoMeyi ophelileyo kunye nokukhutshwa kokuqala kweqhekeza le-Qt 5.15.3 LTS kuphela elungiselelwe ukuba likhutshwe ngoFebruwari.
Nge-Qt 6.0.0 ekhutshiweyo kunye nenguqulelo yokuqala yepatch (Qt 6.0.1) eza kungekudala, lixesha lokuba ungene kwisigaba se-LTS sentengiso kuphela se-Qt 5.15 LTS.
Onke amasebe akhoyo ayi-5.15 ahlala abonakala esidlangalaleni, kodwa avaliwe ngokwenza izinto ezintsha (kunye nokukhetha).
Ngaphandle kwe-Qt WebEngine (kunye ne-Qt script eyehlisiweyo), exhomekeke kumntu wesithathu kwi-LGPL.
Emva koku, ukhetho luye kwenye indawo yokugcina eya kufumaneka kuphela kubanini bamaphepha-mvume okuthengisa.
Siza kuququzelela ukufikelela kwindawo yokugcina abantu abanamaphepha-mvume orhwebo, ke ukongeza kwiinguqulelo ezisemthethweni, kunokwenzeka ukuba usebenzise iikhowudi. Imiyalelo malunga noku iya kufumaneka kubanini bamaphepha-mvume kwishishini kwiveki ezayo, emva kokuba silugqibile utshintsho lwelayisensi kunye nolunye ulungiselelo.
Sinokucwangcisa ukufikelela kwabagcini beemodyuli zangaphandle kwiindawo zokugcina ezentengiso kuphela.
Umda waziswa ngokwesicwangciso yabhengezwa kunyaka ophelileyo, obandakanya ukukhutshwa esidlangalaleni kwekhowudi yotshintsho kumasebe e-LTS kuphela ngaphambi kokusekwa kokukhutshwa okubalulekileyo okulandelayo.
Kwaye kukuba kwiiveki nje ezimbalwa ezidlulileyo ukukhutshwa kwe-Qt 6.0 kwenziwa, ikhowudi yayo ihlala ikho kunye nokupapashwa kohlaziyo lokuqala lokulungisa u-6.0.1 kulindeleke kwiintsuku ezimbalwa ezizayo.
Kodwa ukusukela namhlanje (nge-5 kaJanuwari) ngabanini belayisensi yokuthengisa kuphela abaya kuba nakho ukufikelela ikhowudi ngohlaziyo lwenguqulo yeQt 5.15.
Nangona kukhankanyiwe oko Ukufikelela koluntu kuzo zonke iinguqulelo zeQt 5.15 kuya kugcinwa epapashwe ngaphambili, kodwa iziqinisekiso ezitsha ziya kongezwa ngasemva kweengcango ezivaliweyo. Ngaphandle kwenzelwa kuphela ikhowudi yeemodyuli zeQt WebEngine kunye neQt script, ezinxulunyaniswa nokuxhomekeka kwangaphandle phantsi kwelayisensi yeLGPL.
Ipatch yeQt 5.15.3 icwangciselwe ukuba ikhutshwe ngoFebruwari kubasebenzisi beshishini kuphela. Inkampani yeQt ivakalise ukuzimisela kwayo, kwisicelo esahlukileyo, sokubonelela abagcini bemodyuli bangaphandle be-Qt ngokufikelela kwiindawo zokugcina zabucala, eziya kuthi zibonelele amalungu oluntu ngethuba lokujonga utshintsho kwi-Qt 5.15 LTS.
Ukulungiswa kweebug kunye nokuba semngciphekweni nako kunokufakwa kwisebe lophuhlisookanye apho iinguqulelo ezintsha zeQt ziphuhliswa. Njengomgaqo ngokubanzi, iipatches ziyavela kuqala kweli sebe, emva koko zigqithiselwe kumasebe aneenguqulelo ezizinzileyo.
Inkxaso yesebe langaphambili le-LTS Qt 5.12 liya kuhlala kude kube sekupheleni kowama-2021. Unikezelo oludinga ukuthumela iipakeji nge-Qt 5.15 luya kunyanzelwa ukuba luzigcine ngokwalo okanye lutshintshele kwisebe le-Qt 6, elingaqinisekisi ukuhambelana ngokupheleleyo ne-Qt. 5.
Abagcini be Qt kwi Debian bathe ngaphambili oko abayi kuba nexesha elaneleyo lokuxhasa i-Qt 6 kulwabiwo. Uluntu luxubusha ngokudala iprojekthi edibeneyo yokuququzelela inkxaso kumasebe e-LTS e-Qt, ezimeleyo kwiNkampani yeQt.
Kwaye kunjalo. Okulungileyo akunakho ukukhululeka kuba kunzima ukukukhulisa.
