Hi, Lorn!


With the shut down of QtExtended.org, it means that the functionalities of
Qt Extended will be available in Qt soon? Or will we just lose them?

I needed some functionality of Qt Extended's QMimeType class some days ago,
but I read about its deprecation and now I'm looking for some workaround.
