Hi! Qt 6.4 Feature Freeze will be in effect today. If your change(s) are ready & approved today but fails to integrate due to CI flakiness etc you can still continue staging those in 'dev' during the weekend; we are planning to branch '6.4' from 'dev' at the beginning of next week. But if your feature isn't ready you need either postpone it to Qt 6.5 or ask an exception.
