[17:02:35] <carewolf> when do we update 5.12 again? [17:03:16] <thiago> jaheikki3: pong [17:03:30] <jaheikki3> carewolf: Ok let's check that as well [17:04:24] <jaheikki3> Lets start from Qt 6.0.x status [17:04:43] <jaheikki3> Qt 6.0.2 release preparations started [17:05:06] <jaheikki3> No snapshot available yet; we need full dependency update round to be finished before we can build the snapshot [17:05:32] <jaheikki3> There seems to be some issue with qtqc2; study ongoing [17:05:58] <jaheikki3> Target is to create the first snapshot as soon as possible and RTA test it [17:06:32] <jaheikki3> And if all is OK we will freeze the Qt 6.0.2 content & publish the release as soon as possible [17:07:00] <jaheikki3> Hoping that can happen during next week [17:07:20] <jaheikki3> That's all about 6.0.x at this time. Any comments or questions? [17:09:15] <jaheikki3> Ok, then Qt 6.1 status [17:09:28] <jaheikki3> Alpha released [17:09:38] <jaheikki3> API review ongoing [17:09:49] <jaheikki3> Target is to release Beta1 as soon as possible [17:10:01] <thiago> since we don't have the tools renamed, we can't [17:11:23] <jaheikki3> Well, I disagree. I agree we should conclude that & do needed changes as soon as possible. But I wouldn't block beta1 because of that [17:11:44] <thiago> we need to block the final [17:11:49] <jaheikki3> Agree [17:11:59] <thiago> I think releasing a later beta with this important change is misleading [17:12:56] <jaheikki3> Well, on the other hand missing that change doesn't block anyone to test beta and I think that is most important for the final release [17:13:41] <thiago> true [17:13:53] <thiago> but once the renaming comes in, we need retesting [17:14:01] <jaheikki3> That's true [17:14:18] <jaheikki3> So we need to release at least one beta after the change [17:14:37] <jaheikki3> But that isn't anything new; we are planning to release several betas anyway as usual [17:15:37] <jaheikki3> So I proposo to release beta1 as soon as possible and try to push that change ready as soon as possible as well [17:16:26] <jaheikki3> lars: We need to conclude that tools rename task asap! [17:19:27] <jaheikki3> thiago: carewolf: is my proposal ok for you? [17:19:58] <carewolf> do we need to call it beta? [17:20:24] <carewolf> I don't care though. Sounds fine [17:21:07] <jaheikki3> Ok, great! I'll try to push tools rename task meanwhile [17:21:40] <jaheikki3> That's all about 6.1 at this time [17:21:48] <jaheikki3> Then Qt 5.12 plan [17:21:51] <thiago> not exactly, but disagree and committ [17:22:26] <jaheikki3> Great! [17:22:57] <jaheikki3> At the moment Qt 5.12.11 release is planned to be release ~ mid may [17:23:14] <carewolf> ah okay [17:23:50] <jaheikki3> And I think we can still stay in that plan; there isn't anything that urgent for it [17:24:15] <carewolf> right, just wanted have a closer idea of when in H1 [17:25:42] <jaheikki3> It was all at this time. Let's end this meeting now & have new one tue 2nd march at this same time as planned [17:25:53] <jaheikki3> Thanks for your participation, bye!
