[Development] HEADS-UP: Qt 6.12 feature freeze

[Jani Heikkinen]

Hi!

Qt 6.12 Feature Freeze will be in effect today. The plan is to branch from "dev" to "6.12" tomorrow.

If your feature isn't ready by the end of today, you'll either need to postpone it to Qt 6.13 or request an exception.

br,

Hi all,

Let's postpone the Qt 6.12 feature freeze until at least Monday due to CI issues ( https://lists.qt-project.org/pipermail/development/2026-May/047198.html).  We will try to fix CI as soon as possible and will decide on Monday how to proceed with FF.

br,
Jani

Subject: [Development] HEADS-UP: Qt 6.12 Platform and module -freeze

Hi!

Qt 6.12 Platform and Module -freeze is in effect now, so no new modules or provisioning related changes in ‘dev’ until ‘6.12’ is branched. Staging in qt5#dev is restricted to release team only until branching from ‘dev’ to ‘6.12’ is done.

There are some 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 6.12 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 6.12 early enough. So exception should be asked only for items which can’t wait branching  and Qt 6.12 Beta1.

br,
Jani

Hi all,
Just a kind reminder: the Qt 6.12 Feature Freeze will take effect on May 29th, and the Qt 6.12 Platform and Module Freeze already on May 15th, see https://wiki.qt.io/Qt_6.12_Release .

This means it is time to start working on any required packaging-related changes, so please inform me of any new modules planned for release in Qt 6.12. Also let me know if any existing technology preview modules are planned to become officially supported.

Br,
Jani Heikkinen
