[17:08:17] <+jaheikki3> Qt 6.7.0 Beta3 released last friday
[17:08:38] <+jaheikki3> Updating 3rd party modules for Qt 6.7.0 done
[17:08:54] <+jaheikki3> API review is still ongoing, see
https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-119952
[17:09:20] <+jaheikki3> We should complete the review by the end of this week

all will be in Qt 6.7.0
[17:10:16] <thiago> yay
[17:10:31] <+jaheikki3> The target is to release Qt 6.7.0 RC tue 5th March
[17:10:55] <+jaheikki3> And the target for Qt 6.7.0 final is Tue 19th March
[17:11:07] <+jaheikki3> Release blocker list here:
https://bugreports.qt.io/issues/?filter=25675
[17:11:33] <+jaheikki3> That's all about Qt 6.7 status at this time. Any
comments or questions?
[17:13:18] <+jaheikki3> ok, then Qt 6.8 initial schedule:
[17:13:41] <+jaheikki3> Proposal sent to ML
(https://lists.qt-project.org/pipermail/development/2024-February/044983.html),
no objections
[17:14:11] <+jaheikki3> So the initial schedule for Qt 6.8 is:
[17:14:19] <+jaheikki3> Platform and Module freeze: 17.5.2024
[17:14:28] <+jaheikki3> Qt 6.8 Feature freeze: 31.5.2024
[17:14:36] <+jaheikki3> Qt 6.8.0 Beta1: 13.6.2024
[17:14:44] <+jaheikki3> Qt 6.8.0 RC: 11.9.2024
[17:14:56] <+jaheikki3> and Qt 6.8.0 Final release: 25.9.2024
[17:15:09] <+jaheikki3> Any comments or questions?
[17:15:37] <thiago> the usual that it's a long time but we've had this
discussion before
[17:15:50] <+jaheikki3> Yeah...
[17:16:20] <+jaheikki3> Ok, then Dropping old Qt releases from online installer:
[17:16:40] <+jaheikki3> At the moment all releases since Qt 5.9.0 are available
in the online installer so more than 60 releases!
[17:17:10] <+jaheikki3> This is causing issues with mirrors (huge amount of
data needs to be mirrored) & online installer (huge amount of install scripts
needs to be evaluated) as well
[17:17:30] <+jaheikki3> So I am proposing to drop some releases from online
installer
[17:18:07] <+jaheikki3> And I propose we will drop releases at least older than
Qt 5.15.0 from the online installer; older releases are available in archive as
src packages and offline installers
[17:18:31] <thiago> we probably need to discuss on the ML, but I'd suggestion
5.15 and the last 3 stables
[17:19:35] <+jaheikki3> thiago: Yeah, sounds good. I'll initiate discussion and
propose that. Let's see what others thinks
[17:21:00] <+jaheikki3> It was all at this time so let's end this meeting now &
have new one Tue 27th February at this same time
[17:21:08] <+jaheikki3> Thanks for participation, bye!
[17:21:27] <thiago> bye
[17:22:03] <frkleint> bye
