[17:04:07] <jaheikki3_> Ok, lets start from Qt 5.12 LTS status [17:04:13] <jaheikki3_> Qt 5.12.11 released today [17:05:03] <jaheikki3_> And target is to release Qt 5.12.12 at the end of november; just before end of support [17:05:15] <carewolf> nice.. Though did it even get changes files? [17:05:47] <jaheikki3_> carewolf: No, we did that new style release note instead [17:06:11] <carewolf> ok.. then I guess we didn't add the chrome security patches to the list unless mibrunin did [17:07:02] <jaheikki3_> carewolf: Actually no. But it is possible to edit the note afterwards as well [17:07:22] <carewolf> right [17:08:25] <mibrunin> ok [17:09:23] <jaheikki3_> That's all about 5.12 LTS at this time. Then Qt 6.1 status [17:09:38] <jaheikki3_> Qt 6.1.1 release preparations ongoing [17:09:49] <jaheikki3_> Branching from '6.1' to '6.1.1' done today [17:10:00] <jaheikki3_> Target is to freeze the release content later this week [17:10:09] <jaheikki3_> Hoping that can happen already tomorrow eob [17:10:27] <jaheikki3_> and target is to release Qt 6.1.1 31st May 2021 [17:10:47] <jaheikki3_> That's all about Qt 6.1 status at this time. Any comments or questions? [17:11:10] <thiago> nothing from me [17:11:46] <jaheikki3_> Ok, then Qt 6.2 status [17:12:19] <jaheikki3_> Preparations for FF ongoing [17:13:17] <jaheikki3_> Most of new modules already in qt5.git; only qtmultimedia, qtwebengine and qtwebview still missing [17:13:54] <jaheikki3_> And adding those new modules in the snapshot ongoing; next one should contain most of those already [17:14:05] <thiago> qtwebview depends on qtwebengine, so that one is not surprising [17:14:14] <jaheikki3_> Yeah. [17:14:29] <carewolf> qtwebengine at least builds with cmake now [17:14:30] <jaheikki3_> And qtwebengine has already cmake based ci in place [17:14:35] <thiago> carewolf: can you give an update on what's left to do? [17:14:46] <carewolf> trying to fix the dependencies and add it to qt5.git [17:14:57] <carewolf> the biggest chunk is adding cross-building [17:15:07] <carewolf> and macOS universal builds [17:15:52] <thiago> what's "fix the dependencies' here? [17:16:18] <carewolf> just that we needed to add them. https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt/qtwebengine/+/350868 [17:16:28] <carewolf> and fix API changes (for qtpositioning) [17:16:40] <thiago> does it depend on qtmultimedia? [17:16:47] <carewolf> no [17:16:57] <carewolf> what is the status of qtmultimedia? [17:17:24] <thiago> I'd like to know too [17:17:47] <jaheikki3_> to be honest I am not fully up to date atm related to multimedia [17:18:31] <jaheikki3_> But it isn't properly in cmake ci yet [17:18:47] <jaheikki3_> and so on not in qt5.git either [17:19:15] <jaheikki3_> I know that lars is working on it but the latest status is unknown [17:19:18] <thiago> ok [17:19:26] <carewolf> qtwebview is here https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt/qtwebview/+/349910, but needs finalizing now that qtwebengine is in [17:20:05] <frkleint> Lars & Andre d R are working in QtMM, there is a origin/wip/qt6 branch. Windows works, ALSA is crashing...so, slowly coming along [17:21:24] <jaheikki3_> Yeah, let's check in next weeks meeting what is the status then and agree how to proceed with FF etc. At that time we are already really close to FF... [17:21:50] <thiago> we need to understand when they'll be ready for FF, if at all [17:22:03] <jaheikki3_> yeah, true [17:22:18] <thiago> I seriously suggest we postpone 6.2 release until qtmm is in. Whether that means postponing FF for everyone else is something we can discuss. [17:23:19] <frkleint> lars: ^^ Is Qt MM ready for feature freeze in that sense? [17:23:58] <thiago> doesn't look like he's around [17:24:11] <jaheikki3_> yeah, that is an option to be discussed. I'll clarify the status for next meeting and try to get lars joining as well [17:25:10] <jaheikki3_> That was all what I had from Qt 6.2 status at this time. Any more comments or questions? [17:26:57] <jaheikki3_> Ok, let [17:27:15] <jaheikki3_> 's end this meeting now & have new one tue 1st June at this same time [17:27:27] <jaheikki3_> Thanks for your participation, bye! [17:27:32] <carewolf> bye [17:27:40] <frkleint> bye [17:27:49] <thiago> bye _______________________________________________ Releasing mailing list Releasing@qt-project.org https://lists.qt-project.org/listinfo/releasing
