[PySide] Significant news regarding Qt 5/PySide : VFX Reference Platform CY2016

[Sebastian Elsner | RISE]

Huh, we'll see how this goes. It took Autodesk roughly 10 year to switch 
from gcc 4.1 to gcc 4.4. Moving those massive Maya/Nuke apps to Qt5 is a 
huge task. I guess they will rather spend time on features that can be 
marketed...
