QGIS 4 is coming and my plugins will break
2026-09-01 , Dahlia2

Will plugins really break when migrating them to QGIS 4?


The title of this talk may sound intimidating, but it reflects a very common concern. Will the plugins I’ve previously developed break in QGIS 4? Do I need to rewrite every line of code, or will plugins continue to work with only minor adjustments?

This talk is aimed at those familiar with plugin development in QGIS 3 who want to get started with QGIS 4. You’ll learn what you really need to know when migrating. And then you will decide for yourself: is the process really as scary as the title of this talk? ;-)
