[Development] HEADS UP: Starting preparations for Qt 5.2.0 - merge 'dev' into 'stable'

[Ahumada Sergio]

Hi,

The merge from 'dev' to 'stable' is happening now as we speak.

The plan is the following:

- We will block the "Merge Patch Set X to Staging" button for all the repositories listed below (for the 'dev' branch).
- We will wait for changes still under test until they are all merged and/or back to Review in Progress.
- We will proceed with the merge for all the repositories listed below.
- We will leave the "Merge Patch Set X to Staging" blocked for around two to three days, to avoid that changes get merged to the wrong branch and need to be cherry-picked.

If your changes didn't make it and they are meant for Qt 5.2.0 please re-target them to the 'stable' branch after the merges are done.

The same policies apply as before for the 'stable' branch after the merges are done.

Cheers,

Subject: [Development] HEADS UP: Starting preparations for Qt 5.2.0 - merge     'dev' into 'stable'

Hi,

We are starting the preparations for the Qt 5.2.0 release, which means that:

- We plan to merge 'dev' into 'stable' branch on September 23rd.

- After Sept 23rd any changes that are required for 5.2.0 need to be
pushed to the 'stable' branch. So if your changes are not in by that
day, please wait until the merge is done and re-target it to the
'stable' branch.

The repositories that will be part of the Qt 5.2.0 merge are:

- qtactiveqt
- qtbase
- qtconnectivity [*]
- qtdeclarative
- qtdoc
- qtgraphicaleffects
- qtimageformats
- qtlocation [1][*]
- qtmacextras [2][*]
- qtmultimedia
- qtquick1
- qtquickcontrols
- qtscript
- qtsensors
- qtserialport
- qtsvg
- qttools
- qttranslations
- qtwebkit
- qtwebkit-examples
- qtwinextras [*]
- qtxmlpatterns
- qtx11extras

Cheers,

[2]: pending status, see https://codereview.qt-project.org/64435
[*]: since there is no 'stable' branch, we will create it out of 'dev'
instead of doing a merge
