Aah! I hope not Feb 1. I have Silver Support and I've been wating OVER 2 YEARS for some API changes providing features to land. Some of these are minor, but they are API changes and features. I need time to ruffle the feathers of the developers so they can get the code into 5.9.
I know of one issue which is just making a class instance member float into a read-only Q_PROPERTY. The furious pace of major releases coupled with the API lock down is one of my biggest compliants about Qt. Very simply if it isn't a bug fix, I'm going to be waiting at least 12 months before the feature lands. There has got to be a better way. > Sent: Thursday, January 26, 2017 at 6:28 AM > From: "Jani Heikkinen" <[email protected]> > To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> > Cc: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> > Subject: [Releasing] HEADS-UP: Branching from 'dev' to '5.9' started > > Hi all, > > We have now soft branched '5.9' from 'dev'.
