[Qt-creator] Dev: Qt Creator 20 feature freeze next week

[Eike Ziller]

Qt Creator 20 is now in feature freeze.

I have created the 20.0 branch(es). Please help bugfixing and stabilizing the branch there. Changes in the 20.0 branch will be merged to master branch regularly.
The 'master' branch is in lock-down for a few days, so everyone has time to become aware that the new branch is now the default target for bugfixes. Please hold back feature development for the 'master' branch (future Qt Creator 21.0) for that time.

If you have existing changes on codereview that target master branch but should go into the new branch, please use "Move change" from the vertical "..." menu to the upper right in Gerrit.

The beta release is planned for in ~2 weeks (publishing ~Thursday May 7 2026, packages finalized 2 days before that).

Br, Eike
