[Qt-interest] New Date and Time Features in Qt5?

[John Layt]

Hi,

I work on KDE doing localization code including the date/time functions.  With 
OpenGov and Qt5 coming up we are looking to see if we can get some new 
features we want included in Qt's date and time handling.  

As part of that I would like to know what other Qt users are missing and would 
like to see supported.  The wider the community interest in adding new 
features the more likely they are to get them in.

The general sort of areas we are looking at include:
* More formatting options
* More date maths
* Proper timezone support
* Alternative calendar systems (Hebrew, Islamic, etc)

Just remember that Qt5 is trying to be mostly source compatible with Qt4 so 
radical overhauls will not be possible, but extending the existing api is an 
achievable goal.

Cheers!

John.

P.S. If your wanted feature already has a bug number please include it.
