Hi, this is a long standing request from people building from source willing to use current Python versions, thanks to Magnus Gille work it is now possible and configuration is easier than before, for Linux users building using system Python (3.10 or higher) should be trivial, see
gcconfig.pri.in for details. SIP was upgraded to 6.5.1 and the requirement to use an old version of Pandas was removed.
The commit is large and involved but mostly due to the intricacies of distributing embedded Python with required modules in binary distributions for 3 OS, not source code changes per se.
Enjoy, Ale.
