This wouldn't also be of interest for developers who want to target Apple's App 
Store. Assuming QtWebView is an appropriate choice for implementing a rich-text 
viewer for (mostly) local documents in any case. QtWebEngine is usually 
severely 
overkill for that purpose, QTextBrowser usually (just) not good enough.

I'm thinking that stability shouldn't depend on whether you introduce this in a 
patchlevel release or a major release. (Or maybe I have a certain experience 
that "older" patch level releases are more stable? :) )

[Development] Branching from '5.10' to '5.10.1' started

2018-01-28 Thread Jani Heikkinen
Hi all,

We have soft branched '5.10.1' from '5.10' on Friday. Target is to do final 
downmerge from '5.10' -> '5.10.1' Friday 2.2.2018. Please finalize ongoing 
changes in '5.10' and start using '5.10.1' for new changes. 
First Qt 5.10.1 snapshot is already under testing and we are targeting to get 
Qt 5.10.1 out as soon as possible after final downmerge. So please minimize 
changes for Qt 5.10.1 from now on to get it out quickly!

br,
Jani

[Development] Qt branches & proposal how to continue with those

2018-01-28 Thread Jani Heikkinen
Hi,

We have currently really many branches open:
- 5.6
- 5.9
- 5.10
- 5.10.1
- 5.11
- dev

In my opinion this is too much to handle effectively, especially because there 
is many branches in stable mode (see 
http://code.qt.io/cgit/meta/quips.git/tree/quip-0005.rst). Currently '5.6' is 
in 'strict' mode and  '5.9', 5.10' & '5.11' are in stable... I think we need to 
change that to be able to work efficiently & get releases out. 

So I am proposing following changes starting from 1st Feb 2018:

- '5.6' will move in 'very strict' mode 
- '5.9' will move in 'strict' mode. So no direct submissions anymore, just 
cherry picks from stable
- '5.10' will be closed and Qt 5.10.1 will be the final release from Qt 5.10 
series (5.6 and 5.9 are LTS branches so we shouldn't keep Qt 5.10 active too 
long)
- '5.11' will be to one and only stable branch

br,

Jani

The problem here is that there are bugfixes that need to go into 5.9
but cannot go into 5.11, for a variety of reasons. We need to keep 5.9
open for direct submissions.
