When did this happen? Can you give me some specifics on what is no
longer backward compatible? We've been paying $4000 a seat for licenses
and they have yet to break backward compatibility. Whenever we get a
new release they tell us to replace the old one. If they're going to
break things we're going to stop giving them money ;-) So far none of
my Qt apps have broken.
