[17:04:54] <jaheikki3_> Let's start from Qt 5.12.11 status [17:05:36] <jaheikki3_> Unfortunately new release blocker found at the final steps of the release: QTBUG-93779 [17:05:51] <jaheikki3_> Integryti compilation fails with latest changes [17:06:08] <jaheikki3_> We have fix proposal integrating [17:06:41] <jaheikki3_> And target is to release Qt 5.12.11 as soon as possible, let's see if that can happen during this week or not [17:07:01] <jaheikki3_> That's all about Qt 5.12.11. Any comments or questions? [17:07:19] <frkleint> how long will it last... [17:07:25] <frkleint> until LTS expires.. [17:08:45] <jaheikki3_> frkleint: Qt 5.12 LTS is supported until 6.12.2021 [17:08:59] <frkleint> aha, thx [17:09:34] <jaheikki3_> Ok, then Qt 6.1 status [17:09:46] <jaheikki3_> Qt 6.1.1 release preparations started [17:10:01] <jaheikki3_> First snapshot is already created and published [17:10:19] <jaheikki3_> Target is to branch '6.1.1' from '6.1' later this week [17:10:36] <jaheikki3_> And target is to release Qt 6.1.1 at the end of May [17:10:54] <jaheikki3_> That's all about Qt 6.1.1 at this time. Any comments or questions? [17:10:56] <thiago> do we have sufficient commits? [17:12:30] <jaheikki3_> thiago: I think so. I haven't checked real amount of changes but based on Jira there is at least 125 fixes already [17:13:20] <thiago> ok [17:14:58] <jaheikki3_> Ok, then Qt 6.2 status [17:15:22] <jaheikki3_> Qt 6.2 feature freeze will be in effect Fri 4th June 2021 [17:15:58] <carewolf> does it look like everything will be ready? [17:16:04] <jaheikki3_> So it is time to start updating Qt 6.2 new features page here: https://wiki.qt.io/New_Features_in_Qt_6.2 [17:16:35] <jaheikki3_> carewolf: Based on my understanding most of planned things are on track [17:17:14] <jaheikki3_> few modules are in critical path but it seems we should be able to complete those in time [17:17:45] <jaheikki3_> qtmultimedia is most probably the biggest risk according to my understanding [17:18:03] <thiago> what's our plan if they delay? [17:18:20] <thiago> I have to propose we wait [17:18:33] <carewolf> qtwebengine and qtwebview is probably not ready on all platforms on FF, but we expect to add the missing ones after [17:18:36] <thiago> Qt's been hurt by people not being able to upgrade to qt 6 [17:19:32] <thiago> I think that's fine: it says "if it's broken, we'll fix it" instead of the current "don't bother" [17:19:39] <jaheikki3_> Well, we need to plan that. If we will postpone the FF it will also postpone the final schedule [17:20:12] <thiago> indeed, let's pay close attention to it, but I think it's for a good reason [17:21:06] <jaheikki3_> And yes, qt6.2 should be good enough for users to be able to upgrade qt6 [17:21:45] <jaheikki3_> But on the other hand we should do timely based releases; that's why we have the FF in place [17:22:02] <thiago> ok. Next meeting will be the week before FF. Let's plan to look into it in detail. [17:22:25] <jaheikki3_> yes, exactly. I was planning to propose the same ;D [17:23:15] <jaheikki3_> We have created first Qt 6.2 snapshot already and it is also published [17:23:35] <jaheikki3_> There is known issue: Qt6.2.0 kits not enabled in Creator, see QTBUG-93697 [17:24:05] <jaheikki3_> And module set is still the same than with Qt 6.1 [17:24:33] <jaheikki3_> But we are currently adding new ones in as well and next snapshot should contain few new ones [17:25:19] <jaheikki3_> But that's all about Qt 6.2 at this time. Any more comments or questions? [17:28:57] <jaheikki3_> Ok, let's end this meeting now & have new one tue 25th May at this same time [17:29:14] <jaheikki3_> Thanks for your participation, bye!
