[Development] Qt 5.8 branching & Feature Freeze

[Maurice Kalinowski]

Hi,

Another option might be to do it the same way like we do for UWP currently due to limited resources on the CI system. There we have at least a compile check every time qt5.git integration is supposed to happen.

This is bare minimum, but at least guarantees that compilation will work for release. The rest still needs to be manually tested and/or is covered by Windows 8.1 WinRT test coverage (which isn't too high either).

BR,
Maurice

Hi,

Perhaps we could do without CI for tvOS for Qt 5.8 and fix issues when breakages happen. We are still quite stretched with the CI and adding tvOS increases the load of the CI and also risk of breakages for everyone. That of course is the role of CI, but since tvOS is not at the moment so critical, perhaps it is better to monitor it and fix afterwards when breakages do occur.

Yours,

                             Tuukka

+1. I requested this earlier as well.

Hi

would it be possible to have CI for tvOS in time for this too?


Cheers,

Mike

Hi,

I would also like to have all new modules (if any) of Qt 5.8 as well as implement all (feasible) platform and compiler versions well before the feature freeze. Is it possible to agree that latest by 1.8. all these are completed? Preferably earlier, if possible.

Yours,

                             Tuukka

Hi all,

It was agreed in yesterday's release team meeting to propose following schedule for Qt 5.8 branching and Feature Freeze:

- Start branching '5.8' from 'dev': 2.8.2016
- Feature Freeze (and finalize branching): 9.8.2016

With that schedule we should be able to release Qt 5.8.0 before Christmas. Delaying these would cause Qt 5.8.0 release to be delayed to the beginning of next year. Any objections?

br,
Jani
