Yes I was aware of the removal, hence the desire to begin the dev using QtQuick2.

It doesn't stop me designing the app such that the GUI is separated from the backend C++, so I can rework the QtQuick1 GUI when I get access to the new board with Qt5.8 support (effectively a GPU and OpenGL use).

Thanks for the dev list link, I would love to delve into this some more but I have to get producing some pages for the App. :)
