To be honest this comment feels a bit unfair: Original error report was P2 and quite many important information were missing. And that's why this wasn't seen as a blocker for the release or critical enough for 'rc2'. We have re-evaluated the decision based on new information got today & we agree we should fix this before release. That's why we have already staged the fix in. Hoping all will proceed OK and we can release rc2 (= RC + just a fix for QTBUG-60837, nothing else) on Monday and keep the original schedule for the final. br, Jani _______________________________________________ Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development
