Subject: Re: [Interest] 5.8 Features?

I fully agree to ekke's and Jason's wishes. The features mentioned are all topics I also miss urgently since our first app development tests with Qt ..
Not having cross-platform access to those "standard" mechanisms for mobile OS really makes me wonder whether my next projects will be based on Qt ...

Highest prio from my personal perspective:
>> - Background processing API
>> - In-app Notifications: local, remote
+ add Windows Store to Qt Purchasing module

hmmm
the only reason for me to use Qt is mobile
using new Qt Quick Controls 2 Qt is a great platform for mobile app
development and I hope many new developers will start with Qt on mobile
to make this easier I'm writing example apps and a blog series
http://j.mp/qt-x

I really hope that there will be development on the topics Jason H
mentioned above
