And/or how to know when a version is going to be deprecated?</p>
<p>We keep our stable released builds on specific Qt version. Having to bump a Qt version on a released stable version of our product ends up being a dangerous thing to do.</p></div>DonLakeFlyertag:help.appveyor.com,2012-11-13:Comment/448920082018-03-12T22:56:55Z2018-03-12T22:56:55ZQt 5.9.3 no longer available in Visual Studio 2015 environment<div><p>Thanks for sharing your concern.</p>
<p>We are going to replace "patch" versions as soon as they released by Qt team. They call releases with 3-digit versions "patch releases" which "does not add any new functionality, focus is in bug fixes and performance improvements": <a href="http://blog.qt.io/blog/2017/11/22/qt-5-9-3-released/">http://blog.qt.io/blog/2017/11/22/qt-5-9-3-released/</a>. So, when 5.9.5 will be released we'll replace 5.9.4 with it. We obviously can't keep all 5.9.x patch releases on the image as every release takes around 30 GB.</p>
<p>We not yet decided on retention policy for major releases though. On VS 2015 image there are still Qts 5.3 which is, will, kind of old. We'll send out a message before deprecating any major Qt version.</p></div>Feodor Fitsner
