      I'm upgrading a large Windows desktop application from Qt 5.5.1 to 5.12.2. In order to estimate my effort in advance, how can I determine which classes/methods have been removed from Widgets [and not simply deprecated]? I know Qt WebKit is one, but is there a list?

        Hi and welcome to devnet,

        QtWebKit is a module. The QtWidgets module hasn't lost any classes.

        You can find everything in the release logs.

          @Rob2n said in Widgets: what's been removed between 5.5.1 and 5.12.2?:

          which classes/methods have been removed from Widgets

          None of them.

          Qt promises source and binary compatibility across minor releases. No class/method is allowed to be removed from a module (including Qt Widgets) until Qt 6.

          is there a list?

          Like @SGaist said, the release notes are the official authoritative source. For convenience, you can see:

          • https://wiki.qt.io/New_Features_in_Qt_5.6
          • https://wiki.qt.io/New_Features_in_Qt_5.7
          • https://wiki.qt.io/New_Features_in_Qt_5.8
          • (... etc.)

          Look for the "Removed Modules" headings to find out which modules have been removed.
