Qt5.7 or 5.7.0?

[Mark81]

I need to use the new Bluetooth classes, like this:

I've just cross-compiled Qt5.6.2 and I'm afraid I have to do the job again.
In the git repository:

https://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qt5.git/refs/heads

I see the branch 5.7 and 5.7.0. As far as I understand I need to compile the latter, don't I?

Do you really need Qt 5.7? It is not released yet (as well as Qt 5.6.2, 5.6.1 is the latest as far as I know).

@jsulm as far as I understand is the only way to use these classes:

https://doc-snapshots.qt.io/qt5-dev/qlowenergyadvertisingdata.html
https://doc-snapshots.qt.io/qt5-dev/qlowenergyconnectionparameters.html
https://doc-snapshots.qt.io/qt5-dev/qlowenergydescriptordata.html
https://doc-snapshots.qt.io/qt5-dev/qlowenergyservicedata.html

it would save me a lot of time instead to use Python scripts and set up a inter-process communications. As far as I know there are no C++ libraries to create and manage GATT servers.

Hi,

It depends, the 5.7 branch will contain the current work for the next 5.7 release so if you need something that's not in 5.7.0 you should follow 5.7. Otherwise 5.7.0.

Note that 5.7.0 is almost out.
