I think we've settled on 5.6, at least for Windows. It's the "Long Term
Support" branch of Qt5 and will be supported until March 2019. I'll update
the WSDG accordingly.

The master-2.2 Windows builders *should've* been updated to use Qt 5.6 but
it looks like I missed that. I'll rectify it shortly.

Prior to version 5.5 Qt on Windows could use either OpenGL or ANGLE and
depending on its build-time configuration:

The OpenGL version was recommended if you didn't actually use OpenGL since
it required fewer dependencies.
Versions 5.5 and later handle this at run time and only offer one choice
per compiler+architecture:
