For the trigger happy among us...

This is a plan/proposal, let's give people at least one week to comment/
disagree on it before making master Qt6-only for Gear apps.

Or maybe even two if there's bugfixes flowing.

I'm with Elvis.

Why were votes removed? Or was this a mistake?

The discussion here was IMO not conclusive.

And even if it was, it needs to be announced before it happens.

Otherwise we have 0 knowledge of what's going on and have no way to answer our 
users when they start complaining of why the votes are gone.

[ANNOUNCE] GammaRay 3.0.0

2023-09-04 Thread Allen Winter

(not quite 2 years since the last release)

Highlights of this Release:

 * Network operations now optionally allow capturing HTTP response body.
 * Objects can now be favorited via context menu. A favorited object appears in 
a separate item view above the main itemview
 * Add support for modifying QMargins in properties
 * Allow zooming with mouse wheel in Signals view
 * Filtering for an object now automatically expands the tree and selects the 
object
 * Fix a crash when an object is re-parented
 * Improved performance of signals view
 * Improved performance when target application triggers massive object 
destructions/constructions
 * Remove the KDAB commercial license.
 * Remove the 3D Widget Inspector View.
 * Remove the experimental VTK-based Object Visualizer.
 * Update 3rdparty/backward-cpp to version 1.6.
 * Update 3rdparty/lz4 to version 1.9.4.
 * Update 3rdparty/StackWalker.
 * Increase CMake requirement to version 3.16.0.

The source code can be found on GitHub at: https://github.com/KDAB/GammaRay
Tarballs and zipballs for v3.0.0 are available from: 
https://github.com/KDAB/GammaRay/releases

Since this release, we are no longer providing pre-built packages for some 
popular Linux distros
via the OpenSUSE Build Service, nor are we providing homebrew recipes for Mac 
users.
=>Build from source or ask your favorite distro/homebrew/chocolatey/etc to 
provide packages.

GammaRay is a tool to poke around in a Qt-application and also to manipulate
the application to some extent. GammaRay uses various DLL injection
techniques to hook into an application at runtime and provide access to a
lot of interesting information.

For more information about GammaRay, please see:
 * the KDAB GammaRay home page at http://www.kdab.com/gammaray
 * the GammaRay wiki at https://github.com/KDAB/GammaRay/wiki
 * the GammaRay User Manual at https://docs.kdab.com/gammaray-manual/latest/

Frameworks / Plasma/ Gear Release Schedule Plan

2023-09-04 Thread David Edmundson
Following on from the last Akademy we checked where we were with our
development progress in a meeting and settled on the following plan
for all 3 major parts:

 - In KDE Gear master will be open for Qt6 code to land for those
ready to move. Not all apps need to port.

 - The KDE Gear release will move by 2 months to allow for the extra
time needed for testing initial Qt6 changes

 - An Alpha will be made in November  (a soft freeze in Plasma terms)

 - Betas/RCs will be made throughout December and January (3 releases,
3 weeks apart)

 - Final release of all 3 major parts in sync in February

Due to the delay of KDE Gear by an additional patch release of 23.08
will be made.
