[Development] Drop MSVC 2015 in Qt 5.15?

[Tony Sarajärvi]

How much maintenance will there be, if 5.15.0 is compatible with it already? Are you going to remove the code from 5.15.1 that makes it compatible with it? Or are you having new features coming in 5.15.1+ that would require additional coding to make it MSVC 2015 compatible?

Hi,

MSVC2015 prebuild binaries will be in Qt 5.15.0 (and has been there since Alpha release). So from that point of view if think we shouldn't drop it anymore from 5.15 series.

Jani
