Thank you for useful information about RPM. Do you know is this the last WORKING version of QWT for latest stable R4.1 release: https://yum.qubes-os.org/r4.1/current/dom0/fc32/rpm/qubes-windows-tools-4.1.70-1.fc32.src.rpm ?
It would be a bad thing to make further releases with dropping basic and long-existing functions.
The same disappointment happened to me with R4.1 and keyboard layouts. Something should be done to address painful regressions.
It makes people to be afraid of installing the next release, because something will be broken and not fixed for a long time. That explains why testing of R4.2 is not going well. E.g. I would love to install R4.2rc1 on a laptop for testing, but I am still not able to fix my main issues on R4.1, I do not want to make it worse.
Maybe the development process should be leaned a bit from adding new things towards making stable pivot releases that can be advertised/recommended to other people to work in a stable way for at least 1-2 years. At least add less new things that potentially can break stuff for users.
@adw , do you have any discussions about that on the Team?
I feel like development of Qubes OS is getting harder because there are too many things on the plate and priorities and plans are not obvious. At least for third-party viewers. I do not really see the list of plans and priorities for future releases as it was during R2 and R3 releases. Maybe I am wrong on that estimation.
