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!
