Dear community,

As you may noticed Qt 5.14 was released today:

https://www.qt.io/blog/qt-5.14-has-released

Unfortunately we will be unable to release the wheels
for 5.14 before Python 3.8.1 is out.

The reason behind this decision was because we were affected by
a couple of missing symbols on the windows DLL

https://bugs.python.org/issue37633

We expect the release of Python 3.8.1 to be next Monday,
so until then we will not upload the 5.14 wheels to PyPi.

Please notice that will imply that Windows users will be unable to
use Qt for Python 5.14 on Python 3.8.0,
but Linux and macOS will be able to install the set of wheels on such
Python version.


Also, we are working on a blog post to communicate
why it was difficult to be compatible with Python 3.8,
so once it's out, you will understand all the issues
we needed to fix before having a compatible set of wheels.

Thanks for your understanding.

Cheers
