Hey everyone,
what is the policy for adding behavior-changing bugfixes to patch-level
releases? Is this something to expect?
At the moment we operate under the assumption that bumping the
patch-level of Qt is pretty much a no-brainer and can be done without
having to do much in the way of validation.
If behavior changes in patch-level releases are to be expected, we'll
have to be more careful with bumping Qt.
Context: We have been hit by
https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt/qtdeclarative/+/472596 (which is
even marked as "Important Behavior Change") ending up only in 6.5.1.
It was quite the headache figuring out that 6.5.0 -> 6.5.1 has broken
part of our ListViews.
Regards,
Arno
