as written above, Qt 5.6 - powering SailfishOS - is aging, thus upgrading to 5.9 seems to be a desirable idea...
@Jolla: any comment?

See minutes of yesterdays community meeting, topic 5
Err, I'd love to see things moving much faster too, but you're not being honest here: 5.6 was released in march 16' with 3 years support, and we have it on our phones for almost 4 months now. There is still almost 2 years of support.
For now I prefer them to focus on the Xperias :) (Also, license has changed in 5.7 so it might impact them. )
Sthocs ( 2017-06-01 12:28:42 +0300 )the other + point for 5.9 is the alleged much improved performance on arm see http://blog.qt.io/blog/2017/05/31/performance-improvements-with-qt-5-9-lts/

The've only just shifted to 5.6 so I don't think Jolla are going to rebase the os to 5.9 in the immediate future.
GD ( 2017-06-01 05:04:58 +0300 )I would support a transition to 5.9 after it has matured in the wild. Jolla has already a lot to do to handle their own bugs and shouldn't move to a latest release of their utilized framework, where they have to deal with undiscovered bugs there.
