qt5-qtconnectivity update from 5.6 to 5.8

Am I right in remembering that 2.2.0 will upgrade Qt to 5.8?

This would be great if it's true. Can you find a reference to it anywhere? The closest I could find is this comment by @sledges during the April collaboration meeting:

"Emoji keyboard will already be in 2.2.0; color emojis come when we move to Qt 5.9."

This tells me that 5.9 is coming after 2.2, but that doesn't contradict what you say!

My understanding is that Jolla will go directly from Qt 5.6 to 5.9, both which are LTS versions. They aren't keen to upgrade Qt unless necessary. In addition Qt 5.8 support ended in January 2018 according to the version history on Wikipedia.

Thanks @luen, that would make sense then. Assuming both pieces of info are true, we can conclude there won't be a Qt version upgrade until after 2.2 (due some time this year). However, not all the Qt components are in sync, so it's still possible qtconnectivity will be upgraded independently (maybe even earlier, if I'm being crazy optimistic?!).

@flypig Now that you post that, I think that's where I read about the Qt upgrade (to 5.9 and not 5.8) and connected it with 2.2.0, so please forget what I said before.
