[Development] Long-lived P1 issues

2020-11-02 Thread Jason McDonald
Some food for thought for module maintainers. Currently, there are 1175 open P1 issues in the QTBUG project. 583 of those issues had that priority set more than one year ago, 342 of those had their priority set more than two years ago, and 175 of those more than three years ago. If an issue

[Development] Nanosecond accuracy timer

2020-11-02 Thread David Jackson
The Qt API needs a QTimer with nanosecond accuracy. I know what is actually provided by underlying platforms varies greatly. But instead of Qt introducing its own limitation, Qt needs to provide a way for what the underlying platform can support to be accessed. If a platform does not support nanose

[Development] Is it valid to have open bugs in "inactive" components?

Another oddity I can see in Jira is that there are currently 103 open issues in components that are marked as "inactive" and "archived". Should such issues be closed as "Won't Do" or is there a valid reason to keep them open? The relevant issues can be found with the following Jira query: pro

It appears that on 29 March 2016 a custom "Unresolved" resolution was added beside the built-in default. This might be causing some unresolved issues to be hidden from queries. I discovered the duplicate resolution when Jira's query auto-completer showed me two Unresolved resolutions, one with do

I honestly don't think renaming all our binaries is an option, certainly not that late in the process. We’ve had Qt 4 and Qt 5 co-installed for a long time as well and while that might not be perfect it was working. And qtchooser has been working nicely for me (Ubuntu at least uses it). Cheers,

Just as a note we are using markdown for Qt Creator changelogs since a long time too. With the “right” heading styles it is also nicely readable in ASCII. You can actually use ### as the third level of headings without compromising readablility. https://code.qt.io/cgit/qt-creator/qt-creator.git/
