PyQt6 support

[nuqleo]

Hi,

There is a transition of Linux distribution desktop environments to Qt6. Qt5 support will be discontinued over time.

Are there any plans to port 3.0 version of gns3-gui to PyQt6?

Yes we have plan for a migration :)

According to the mailing list on the Riverbank site PyQt5 was supported until end of last year (2023)

Also Qt5 standard support was ended in May 2023 and for subscription licenses it is still available until May 2025

We will probably move to PyQt6 once the final version 3.0 has been released, most likely for 3.1.

I have started checking what a migration to PyQt6 would look like: https://www.pythonguis.com/faq/pyqt5-vs-pyqt6/
