[17:05:58] <jaheikki3> that's all about Qt 6.8 status at this time. Any comments or questions?
[17:07:19] <vohi[M]> So Qt 6.8.3 will be the last release before the branch enters LTS mode
[17:07:36] <jaheikki3> Yes, that's the plan
[17:08:18] <jaheikki3> Ok, then Qt 6.9 status
[17:08:40] <jaheikki3> Qt 6.9 Beta2 was released last week
[17:08:58] <jaheikki3> Updating 3rd party components for Qt 6.9.0 proceeding well, see https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-132849
[17:09:11] <jaheikki3> Qt 6.9 API change review is still ongoing, see https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-132090

[17:09:54] <jaheikki3> and the target is to release Qt 6.9.0 RC at the end of February
[17:10:16] <jaheikki3> That's all about Qt 6.9 status at this time. Any comments or questions?
[17:11:07] <vohi[M]> Seems like the headers of every module have now been reviewed, so there should be no more new issues popping up.
[17:11:38] <jaheikki3> yeah, let's hope so.
[17:12:22] <vohi[M]> Discussions still pending by beta3 should be moved to JIRA as blockers for 6.9.0 so that we don't have to check several lists and wade through long discussion threads to see what needs to be done.
[17:13:07] <jaheikki3> yes, that's true. I have already sent one reminder about that in dev ml: see https://lists.qt-project.org/pipermail/development/2025-January/046041.html
[17:14:34] <jaheikki3> it was all at this time so let's end this meeting now and have new one Tue 4th February at this same time
