[17:02:32] <akseli> jaheikki3: late pong
[17:03:07] <jaheikki3> Let's start from Qt 6.11 status:
[17:03:36] <jaheikki3> Qt 6.11.1 release content is finally frozen and final dependency update round is ongoing
[17:03:51] <jaheikki3> We should have release packages for testing tomorrow morning
[17:04:54] <jaheikki3> The target is to release Qt 6.11.1 by the end of this week but let's see if we can test packages in this schedule or do we need to postpone the release to the beginning of next week
[17:05:22] <jaheikki3> That's all about 6.11.1 status. Any comments or questions?
[17:06:54] <jaheikki3> Then Qt 6.12 status
[17:07:29] <jaheikki3> Unfortunately there isn't successful dependency update round in dev yet
[17:07:44] <jaheikki3> Known issues should be fixed and new round is ongoing
[17:08:04] <jaheikki3> If that succeed we will finally be able to create new snapshot
[17:08:31] <jaheikki3> And the plan is to made it publicly available, if it is well enough
[17:09:02] <jaheikki3> 6.12 platform and module freeze will be in effect 15th May
[17:09:31] <jaheikki3> It seems there won't be new modules at this time
[17:09:47] <jaheikki3> at least I don't know any...
[17:10:10] <jaheikki3> that's all about 6.12 status at this time, any comments or questions?
[17:10:10] <thiago> no one has said anything
[17:10:23] <jaheikki3> thiago: yes, true...
[17:10:26] <thiago> I'd expect at least a labs project to have started
[17:11:16] <vohi[M]> the only work impacted by platform/module freeze should be the new HarmonyOS port
[17:11:55] <vohi[M]> and that's under review at https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt/qtbase/+/733351
[17:12:16] <thiago> that looks really mature, BTW
[17:12:28] <thiago> a few rough edges, but mostly good
[17:12:43] <vohi[M]> good to hear, and thanks for reviewing
[17:13:58] <jaheikki3> Yeah, great to hear
[17:14:32] <jaheikki3> It was all at this time so let's end this meeting now and have new one Tue 12th May at this same time
[17:14:42] <jaheikki3> thanks for your participation,bye!
