[Development] [Releasing] HEADS-UP: Qt 5.15 Feature Freeze is in effect now

[Alexander Akulich]

Hi all,

does the 5.15 feature freeze mean that we can not adjust signal names
anymore? IIRC it was said that "deprecated-free" code for Qt 5.15
will/should be compatible with Qt 6.

IIRC there was an intention to rename
QAbstractSocket::error(SocketError) signal to errorOccured() to align
it with the other signals and to remove the overload of
QAbstractSocket::error() getter, so the API becomes a bit more
developer-friendly.
I thought that it was done, but it seems to be not the case. I can
prepare and submit a patch in a few hours if it is still applicable
for 5.15.

It seems this shouldn't cause that big delay but you never know... And taking this in between Alpha and beta doesn't sound that well to me either; as written before all known features should be in Alpha...
