[17:03:32] <+jaheikki3> Qt 6.6 status
[17:03:39] <+jaheikki3> Any additional item to the agenda?
[17:04:57] <+jaheikki3> Ok, Qt 6.5 status at first
[17:05:18] <+jaheikki3> Qt 6.5.1 packages are ready and we will release Qt
6.5.1 tomorrow
[17:05:44] <+jaheikki3> Target is to release Qt 6.5.2 at the end of June and Qt
6.5.3 beginning of September
[17:05:55] <thiago> jaheikki3: pong
[17:06:34] <+jaheikki3> that's actually all about qt 6.5 status at this time.
Any comments or questions?
[17:08:00] <+jaheikki3> Ok, then Qt 6.6 status
[17:08:25] <+jaheikki3> Qt 6.6.0 Platform and Module freeze is in effect now so
no provisioning changes to the 'dev' until '6.6' is branched
[17:08:53] <+jaheikki3> Dependency update issues in dev are fixed &
dependencies updated regularly atm
[17:09:51] <+jaheikki3> New snapshot from dev created but not published yet;
there seems to be some issue with QtC and we want to fix/flarify it before
publishing the snapshot
[17:10:11] -*- thiago still has API fixes for 6.6 he hasn't properly finished
[17:10:48] <+jaheikki3> thiago: That's OK; Qt 6.6 Feature Freeze will be in
effect Fri 2nd June so almost 2 weeks time to finalize those
[17:11:43] <vohi> I'm on vacation from Friday on and back on the 5th, so great
if anyone that knows that they need an exception can raise that this week.
[17:11:44] <+jaheikki3> and like earlier ready changes can be staged in 'dev'
during the weekend after FF
[17:12:20] <+jaheikki3> But only if changes were ready and approved latest
during Friday 2nd June
[17:12:35] <+jaheikki3> Otherwise exception needs to be asked
[17:12:38] <thiago> we're not freezing API, only features
[17:12:44] <thiago> so we can still change API
[17:12:49] <vohi> Feature freeze != API freeze anyway, we do assume that we
will make changes to the API based on header review feedback and API reviews
[17:13:07] <+jaheikki3> thiago: vohi: yeah, true
[17:13:16] <+jaheikki3> my mistake, sorry
[17:14:00] <+jaheikki3> The target is to branch '6.6' from 'dev' Monday 5th June
[17:14:16] <+jaheikki3> API change review will start after branching
[17:14:36] <+jaheikki3> and the target is to publish Qt 6.6.0 Beta1 immediately
when dependency update round succeed in '6.6'
[17:15:07] <+jaheikki3> That's actially all about qt 6.6 status at this time.
Any more comments or questions
[17:16:20] <vohi> In the week of the 5th, the R&D teams in TQtC will start a
focused bug fixing week or two or three to catch up with stuff in JIRA
[17:17:26] <vohi> If anyone wants to help, or has particular bugs that they are
keen on getting fixed, then updating JIRA tickets, adding reproducers, trying
to reproduce etc is a good way to contribute
[17:17:46] <vohi> (and of course fixing things and writing tests)
[17:19:12] <+jaheikki3> It seems it was all at this time so let's end this
meeting now and have new one tue 30th May at this same time.
[17:19:28] <+jaheikki3> Thanks for your participation, bye!
[17:19:38] <vohi> bye
[17:19:42] <thiago> bye
[17:22:28] <frkleint> bye
