Have a look at the Qt 5 bug statistics at > https://bugreports.qt-project.org/secure/Dashboard.jspa?selectPageId=11712 . > As you can see we currently have very few Blockers (P1) and only some P1's. > But there are close to 400 bugs in there that aren't yet evaluated. It would > be good if all Maintainers and Approvers could help and do their share to > evaluate these bugs, so that we better know what remains to be done for the > second beta. Once that's done, further work should focus around fixing the > high priority bugs found. > > Cheers, > Lars > > > _______________________________________________ > Development mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development > _______________________________________________ Releasing mailing list [email protected] http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/releasing
