So that's a fork of a ~10 years old fork of Qt. Copperspice originally forked, in part, because Qt was not close enough to the C++ standards, and now this (outdated) GUI library is being forked because they make use of a 4 years old C++ standard. Someone should fork LsCs to add support for mobile or new C++ standard. Looking forward to see this happen in 10 years (/s)

You are correct that we did the fork many years ago. Since then we have back ported a significant portion of Qt 5. Piece by piece our team has been improving the foundation and adding new functionality. We leverage C++ classes using inheritance and composition when possible.

A decision was made to move to C++20 and we are keeping an eye on when to make the next jump. We welcome contributors and friendly conversations.
