Meeting minutes from Qt Release Team meeting 26th April 2016


Qt 5.7.0 status:

   - Beta released last Thursday

   - Schedule updated in https://wiki.qt.io/Qt-5.7-release

  *   API Review May 2016
  *   String freeze 7th May 2016
  *   Branch 5.7.0 from 5.7 19th May 2016
  *   Release Candidate 1st June 2016
  *   Final Release 15th June 2016

   - To be able to keep the schedule we need to make sure

  *   All Qt 5.7.0 blockers are visible in https://bugreports.qt.io/issues/?filter=17619 (= Fix Version(s) contains 5.7.0 RC )
  *   All blockers are fixed as soon as possible. Please prioritise bugs in https://bugreports.qt.io/issues/?filter=17619
  *   Header diff is started during this week. Actions for that is already ongoing by Eddy, Fredrik (&Frederik)
  *   Change files are done early enough. Maintainers, please create first versions now & update those later when needed!
  *   Packages are tested properly when testing request comes. This is really essential: We need to find the blockers as early as possible!
  *   We will fix all known issues before RC.
  *   All fixes are in latest Mon 23rd May (to have enough time for getting qt5.git integrated,packages created & tested properly before RC)

- First snapshot created after the beta. No manual test request coming at this time but can be found from http://download.qt.io/snapshots/qt/5.7/5.7.0-beta/


Qt 5.6.1 status:

- branching not started yet because of bugs in init-repository scripts. Fixes are integrating & branching will be start immediately when changes are in

- New snapshot will be created when current qt5.git integration succeed. Target during this week

- target to get 5.6.1 out as soon as possible but most probably it will be somewhere mid May

  *   Blocker list for Qt 5.6.1: https://bugreports.qt.io/issues/?filter=17596. Some issue still open, hoping we could get those closed as soon as possible
