[17:07:03] <jaheikki3> thiago: yes, it is in [17:07:58] <jaheikki3> plan is to release rc later this week when all packages created and sanity checked [17:08:07] <carewolf> I wonder if anybody ever fixed the problem with accessing bindably properties from different threads [17:08:43] <jaheikki3> carewolf: Bug ID? [17:08:56] <thiago> https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt/qtbase/+/339943 isn't in.. [17:09:01] <carewolf> it came up as part of another bug. Seems worked on in 6.2 [17:09:43] <carewolf> Looks like it was thought about, so nevermind [17:12:42] <jaheikki3> thiago: ? I thought you were talking about https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt/qtbase/+/343698 [17:13:01] <thiago> there are two [17:13:07] <thiago> this is the other one [17:13:59] <jaheikki3> I haven't known https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt/qtbase/+/339943 should be in. And it seems it isn't planned to be picked to 6.1.0 [17:14:15] <thiago> it was made before the branch [17:14:35] <jaheikki3> Do we really need that one in .0 or can it be taken in 6.1.1? [17:14:44] <carewolf> it is binary compatibility [17:15:11] <carewolf> we need it. thiago can you update it with pick-to 6.1.0, then I will give it +2 since lars already gave it that before [17:15:40] <thiago> done [17:15:50] <carewolf> +2 [17:16:01] <thiago> jani: agreed? [17:16:26] -*- thiago waits for jani before staging [17:16:38] <jaheikki3> thiago: please move it in 6.1.0 and add pick-to: dev instead to speed-up the progress [17:17:19] <thiago> good idea [17:17:37] <thiago> carewolf: done, reapprove? [17:17:52] <carewolf> done [17:18:12] <thiago> "you don't have permissionn to submit" [17:18:30] <jaheikki3> Staged [17:19:13] <thiago> I'll watch it during the day [17:19:59] <jaheikki3> Great. So that in the packages & RC out later this week [17:20:19] <jaheikki3> That's all about 6.1.0 at this time. Any comments or questions? [17:22:32] <jaheikki3> Ok, then quick qt 6.0.4 status: [17:22:43] <jaheikki3> Release preparations started [17:22:51] <jaheikki3> First snapshot created [17:23:13] <jaheikki3> Targei is to freeze release content at the beginning of next week [17:23:35] <jaheikki3> And target is to release Qt 6.0.4 at the end of April [17:23:52] <jaheikki3> That's all about Qt 6.0.4 at this time.

Any comments or questions? [17:28:40] <akseli> sounds like a plan [17:29:51] <jaheikki3> And then Qt 6.2.0 initial schedule [17:30:19] <jaheikki3> Proposal sent to dev mailing list ~ a week ago (https://lists.qt-project.org/pipermail/development/2021-April/041202.html) [17:30:35] <jaheikki3> No objections so Qt 6.2.0 initial schedule will be: [17:30:58] <jaheikki3> - Feature Freeze 4th June 2021 [17:30:58] <jaheikki3> - Alpha release 15th June 2021 [17:30:58] <jaheikki3> - Beta1 release 6th July 2021 [17:30:58] <jaheikki3> - RC 14th September 2021 [17:30:58] <jaheikki3> - Final release 28th September 2021 [17:31:12] <jaheikki3> Any comments or questions? [17:31:50] <thiago> sounds good [17:31:56] <thiago> long time, but over summer break [17:32:26] <jaheikki3> Yeah, that's why it is a bit longer that usually [17:32:30] <carewolf> it will be rough for qtwebengine, but we knew that [17:32:36] <thiago> why? [17:32:40] <thiago> how can we make it less rough? [17:32:53] <carewolf> you can't porting to cmake just took way longer than expected [17:33:13] <thiago> it won't build with just qmake? [17:33:31] <carewolf> the qmake module code has been removed [17:33:47] <carewolf> so then we would have to rebuild the config to work without qt module stuff [17:34:33] <carewolf> anyway, it will be done [17:35:10] <jaheikki3> Great [17:35:10] <thiago> ah, right [17:35:33] <thiago> can you lock alexandru in a room in the office and not let him work on anything else? wait... wfh [17:35:40] <thiago> damn, that's why it's taking long :-) [17:36:04] <carewolf> That was the original plan, but he was busy with other things :D [17:36:18] <jaheikki3> :D [17:36:25] <thiago> for 6.2, I want to see an effort to bring back the missing modules [17:36:31] <thiago> multimedia and webengine especially [17:36:34] <thiago> lots of people complaining [17:37:42] <jaheikki3> yeah. I think all (or at least most of) those are under work and shoiuld be in Qt 6.2 [17:38:50] <carewolf> only thing not under work is qtwebview, because it waiting on qtwebengine [17:39:02] <carewolf> but it should be easy once the dependencies are ready [17:40:03] <jaheikki3> I think it was all at this time. I can't join tue 27th April so let's have next meeting tue 4th May at this time [17:40:24] <jaheikki3> Thanks for your participation, bye! [17:40:30] <carewolf> bye [17:41:21] <thiago> bye _______________________________________________ Releasing mailing list Releasing@qt-project.org https://lists.qt-project.org/listinfo/releasing
