:2022-04-23: Packages for Qt/PyQt 5.15.2 are now available
12+
13+
After more than six months, the conda-forge team and contributors have managed
14+
to update the Qt5 packages to the latest LTS version, 5.15.2. Major changes include
15+
separate packages for QtWebEngine (``qt-webengine``) and the rest of Qt in a new
16+
package called ``qt-main``. This allows recipes that do not use any of the
17+
WebEngine components to depend only on ``qt-main``, reducing the total size of
18+
the downloaded binaries. As a result of this, ``qt`` is now a metapackage that
19+
will install both ``qt-main`` and ``qt-webengine`` as dependencies.
20+
21+
With respect to PyQt, the new packages now are in sync with respect to their
22+
corresponding PyPi releases, which means that the ``pyqt`` package will only provide
23+
the core components of Qt, leaving ``pyqtwebengine`` and ``pyqtcharts`` as optional
24+
packages that extend PyQt by providing the QtWebEngine and QtCharts components,
25+
respectively. A migrator will be put in place to help with the transition.
