I propose that we drop support for ubuntu trusty in 2.1.

Trusty is no longer the current LTS release. Xenial replaced it.

Their is mostly two changes interesting:

  • Python 3.4 (Xenial: Python 3.5)
  • Qt 5.2 (Xenial: Qt 5.5)

I think dropping support for Qt 5.2 could be a benefits. We see from @AJNOURI that we have multiple issues with this version:

I propose the change only for GUI, because the GNS3 VM still use trusty.

Another benefits we could use websocket to connect to the notification avoiding the need to trick with an HTTP stream. It's a new feature of Qt 5.3.

This could solve the random disconnect from project that we see with aiohttp 2.0
