> As discussed in another thread (
> https://lists.qt-project.org/pipermail/qt-creator/2020-June/008574.html),
> we’d like to bump the required Qt version for building Qt Creator to Qt
> 5.14.
> This will make porting Qt Creator to Qt 6 much easier, since we want a
> transition phase where Qt Creator compiles with both Qt 5 and Qt 6. Many
> replacement APIs for things gone in Qt 6 are only available in Qt 5.14.
> We’ll see if we even need Qt 5.15, or if we can manage with Qt 5.14.
> Ubuntu 20.10 will ship Qt 5.14, Debian sid (unstable) has 5.14 too.

> Required GCC version -> GCC 7
> ——————————
> Our current minimum GCC version of 5.3 is pretty old and buggy even with
> regard to C++11/14.
> RHEL/CentOS 7 provides GCC 8 already with devtoolset-7.
> Ubuntu 18.04 has GCC 7.
> Debian 10 (latest stable) has GCC 8.
>
> So I propose updating the requirement to GCC 7. This also allows us to use
> most C++17 features, so I include upgrading to C++17 in this proposal as
> well.
