[17:03:30] <jaheikki3> let's start from Qt 6.7 status [17:03:46] <jaheikki3> Qt 6.7.0 was released Tue 2nd of April [17:04:33] <jaheikki3> at least one severe regression already reported: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-123997 (binary break in qtmultimedia) [17:05:00] <jaheikki3> so let's do the Qt 6.7.1 release a bit earlier than originally planned [17:05:17] <vohi> agree :) [17:05:21] <jaheikki3> new target is to start branching from 6.7 to '6.7.1' Mon 22nd of April and release Qt 6.7.1 Fri 3rd of May [17:05:59] <jaheikki3> that's actually all about Qt 6.7 status at this time. Any comments or questions? [17:06:30] <krop> I'm not sure if it's considered bic, but I received this report: https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1222514 [17:06:42] <vohi> wouldn't we usually branch on a Friday and release on a Monday? [17:06:50] <krop> pyqt build failure with 6.7 likely due to https://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtbase.git/commit/?id=7a3fed3f [17:08:36] <jaheikki3> vohi: true. But I am on vacation 17.4 - 21.4 and CI maintenance break is 6th May [17:09:31] <jaheikki3> and with patch level releases it doesn't actually matter that much, we can just agree the dates & try to keep those [17:09:54] <jaheikki3> krop: thanks, I'll check this with Ivan [17:09:58] <vohi> ack [17:10:42] <jaheikki3> Then Qt 6.8 status [17:11:19] <jaheikki3> just a reminder: Qt 6.8 feature freeze will be in effect 31st of May and platform and module freeze already 17th of May [17:12:01] <thiago> ok [17:12:16] <jaheikki3> so if there will be some new modules in Qt 6.8 it would good to start adding those in binary packages as soon as possible [17:12:36] <jaheikki3> a snapshot is already available in the online installer but it hasn't been updated lately [17:12:59] <jaheikki3> we will update the snapshot after next successful dependency update round in 'dev' [17:13:39] <jaheikki3> that's all about 6.8 status at this time. Any comments or questions? [17:13:43] <thiago> how about the change to build with VS2022? [17:14:42] <jaheikki3> thiago: good point, I think we didn't agree that in the ML last time. I actually have asked that lately from Oliver and Vladimir but didn't get any reply yet [17:15:17] <jaheikki3> I'll discuss with them soon & let's agree that in ML as soon as possible [17:15:40] <thiago> I think we need to, because 6.9 is LTS and you'll be reticent to change then [17:15:49] <thiago> and if you don't, then you're stuck with 2019 [17:16:00] <jaheikki3> true [17:18:01] <jaheikki3> ok, let's end this meeting now and have new one tue 23rd of April at this same time. [17:18:14] <jaheikki3> thanks for your participation, bye! [17:26:44] <vohi> thanks, bye!
