For HN why this release is important:
* Qt essential killed LTS for non paying customers starting with this release (but Qt stills stays GPL/LPGL and Commercial). You still will be get these fixes but only in the next minor version [1]. Personally this is not really an issue for me (nether for my open source app ScreenPlay nor for the Qt app I develop at work) because Qt is fairly stable.
* Last release before Qt 6
* You now need a Qt account to download (via the maintenance tool) _any_ Qt libraries from qt.io. Why does this remind me of docker?
