Moving away from wxWidgets? Then replace it with what?

Right. We’ve discussed this on several dev calls, not sure if here on  
the list.  
In the far future, we want to focus on QT (for less dependencies etc.).  
We (or rather, Tom for the most part) have been porting all features of  
WX to QT the last few months, and on the current master, there’s pretty  
much nothing you can’t do with QT you could with WX.

But don’t worry, WX widgets will be around for a while, but we won’t be  
adding functionality, and will be officially marking them deprecated  
them (most likely) in 3.8. _Maybe_ they will go away in 3.9, but that’s  
a long way ahead, nothing definitive decided here.

Which is why the WX widgets will stay around for a long time. (Longer  
than  
I’d want, I’m sure.)

Yes, we’ll make it as gentle as possible.  
Also, there’s no reason for the WX widgets not to become an OOT. This  
would make the transition even easier, and we might even be able to  
provide a script to convert flow graphs to using the OOT with a couple  
of seds.

That is good to know. I use WX widgets in my class, including a video  
series I’ll be publishing shortly, because they are the default in GRC  
and because of a few features of the instrumentation sinks. Also  
stability.
