Description

We should update ChimeraX to use Qt 5.15 (released in May 2020) which is a longterm support version after we make the ChimeraX 1.1 release. PyQt 5.15 is available. We are currently using Qt 5.12.9 and PyQt 5.12.3.

It is likely there will be new Qt bugs we will need to resolve shortly after updating. Possibly it will also fix some old Qt bugs.

The PyQt 5.15.0 commercial wheels were built last month. Switching is easy, just apply the 5.15 patch in prereqs/PyQt, and install. I am most worried about the Mac, so please try it out.

Normally, I like to wait for a bug fix release before switching Qt versions. And Qt 5.15.1 is supposed to be out this month (August 2020). So the timing is not the best. Let's talk about it at group meeting.

The switch to Qt 5.15 is of course not until after ChimeraX 1.1 is out, so we can wait until Qt 5.15.1 comes out.  This is not urgent, milestoned for ChimeraX 1.2.
