[Development] HEADS-UP: Qt 6.11 Platform and module -freeze

[Jani Heikkinen]

Hi! 

Qt 6.11 Platform and Module -freeze is in effect now, so no new modules or provisioning related changes in ‘dev’ until ‘6.11’ is branched. Staging in qt5#dev is restricted to release team only until branching from ‘dev’ to ‘6.11’ is done.
 
There are quite many approved qt5.git changes waiting for integration in ‘dev’: https://codereview.qt-project.org/q/branch:dev+project:qt/qt5+status:open+label:Code-Review%252B2.
 
If any of those are mandatory for Qt 6.11 FF, please ask an exception to integrate those in. But please remember: the purpose of ‘Platform and Module -freeze’ is to ensure stable & as effective CI as possible just before FF. That’s needed to make sure you are able to finalize new features for Qt 6.11 early enough. So exception should be asked only for items which can’t wait branching  and Qt 6.11 Beta1.

br,
Jani
