Thank you for contributing to this conversation and explaining your point of view. We really do appreciate user input. We are going to chat with a few other C++ committee members before making a decision about when to implement the transition to a newer version of C++.

Just looking at GCC, they started adding C++20 features back in version 8 and more was added with each release. The majority of features are present in GCC 12, except for a few things related to modules. Support for C++23 started to appear in GCC 9 with the majority appearing by GCC 13. (1) As of C+...

While the Free Software Foundation recommends using the latest version LGPL v3 I thought that LGPL v2.1 would be compatible with CopperSpice. Yes, they do usually recommend LGPL 3 but the FSF is looking to address other concerns. In the real world, true open source developers prefer LGPL 2.1 when i...

I took some time to read your “Debian 12 guide” and I would strongly suggest changing several items. Documentation can be messy and some of what you said could be misunderstood by new developers. (1) Even though Ubuntu is based on Debian, you simply can not assume that a Ubuntu program will work on ...

Yes, building this plugin has been tested on several Unix systems and it does build as expected. The FindMySQL.cmake in our cmake directory will be invoked and then PkgConfig will be used by CMake to search for MySQL. We can see by your output that “mysql/mysql.h” was found, which is a good start. H...

If I look on the Microsoft site, I see the latest VS 2019 Professional is 16.11 I cannot find any reference to 19.29.30147 Perhaps I am looking in the wrong place? In our CI, we use VS 2019 version 16.11.23. If you run cl.exe you will see the actual version of the compiler, which is where you will ...

We are happy to hear you are finding CopperSpice of value. A similar issue was reported and we were able to merge your information with the other details to solve the problem. The solution required changes in CsLibGuarded, CsSignal, and CopperSpice. If you would like to test these changes, build Cop...

We added full support for ARM in May 2022 with the addition of CopperSpice support for Raspberry Pi. The CS build is performed on a Debian host computer using a cross compiler which targets Raspbian. The directions for building the binary files are located in our CS Overview documentation. https://w...

Can you try a couple different variations of your code?

• If you process the first 1000 files twice, does it still crash?
• If you remove the last 2 or 3 files it processed from the directory, can it process the rest of the files?
• If you process the files in reverse order, what happens?

Classes such as QColor, QBrush, and QFont are part of CsGui. We can not declare a constructor which accepts a QFont or a toFont() method since QVariant is in the CsCore library. This is why we provided template methods such as fromValue() and value().
