 - Qt 5.7 will begin requiring certain C++11 features in order to
   compile. Due to bugs in the Clang compiler that comes with XCode 5.0,
   that version will not be supported, despite what was noted in the Qt
   5.5.0 changelog.
   The minimum compiler versions for Qt 5.7 release will be:
   * Clang 3.3 (XCode 5.1 contains version 3.4)
   * GCC 4.7
   * Intel C++ Composer XE 2013 SP1 (compiler version 14.0) on Linux and OS X
   * Intel C++ Composer XE 2016 (compiler version 16.0) on Windows
   * Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 (compiler version 17.0)
