+* Future Direction Notice *
+****************************************************************************
+
+ - In Qt 6, QCoreApplication::notify() will not be called for events being
+ delivered to objects outside the main thread. The reason for that is
+ that the main application object may begin destruction while those
+ threads are still delivering events, which is undefined behavior.
+ Applications that currently override notify() and use that function
+ outside the main thread are advised to find other solutions in the mean
+ time.
+
+ - Qt 5.7 will begin requiring certain C++11 features in order to
+ compile. The minimum compiler versions for that release will be:
+ * Clang 3.2 (included in XCode 5.0)
+ * GCC 4.7
+ * Intel C++ Composer XE 2013 SP1 (compiler version 14.0)
+ * Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 (compiler version 17.0)
