Notes

There are separate repositories for blink-qt due to the availability of Qt versions for each platform (Windows and Linux).

This repository version reflects the main blink-qt codebase up till Jul 19th, 2023.

All subsequent changes to blink-qt were made for Qt6 version only.
   
Blink Qt6 does not work on Windows because some Qt6 libraries are not yet available:

   a. QT6 Web Engine component is not yet available for msys2-mingw64 enviroment

   b. Python extensions for QT6 web engine do not compile on mingw64 GCC compiler
      yet, pyqt6webengine is still work in progress:

      https://github.com/msys2/MINGW-packages/issues/8444

As soon as these dependencies will be available for Qt6, a new Windows version will be built.

Building and packaging have been documented and reproduced on Windows 10.

Kind regards,
Adrian
