[17:04:14] <jaheikki3> Lets start from Qt 5.7.0 status:
[17:04:33] <jaheikki3> String freeze in effect now
[17:05:02] <jaheikki3> Still issues with qt5.git integration :(  That's why no snapshot for testing
[17:06:03] <jaheikki3> fix for qt5.git integration integrating, hoping we could get the integration succeed soon
[17:07:17] <jaheikki3> Blocker situation improving, see https://bugreports.qt.io/issues/?filter=17619
[17:07:20] <fkleint> and worse, build is totally broken due to CI issues?
[17:08:52] <jaheikki3> fkleint: As fregl wrote there was some problem in CI side and that's why some windows confs are broken at the moment
[17:09:01] <jaheikki3> but fixes should be coming
[17:09:56] <fkleint> Optimistic as ever ;-)
[17:10:04] <jaheikki3> Yeah ;)
[17:10:40] <jaheikki3> Qt 5.7.0 plan remains still unchanged, see https://wiki.qt.io/Qt-5.7-release
[17:10:57] <jaheikki3> But of course we need to get new snapshot for testing to see where we really are
[17:11:28] <jaheikki3> That's all about 5.7 at this time. Any comments or questions?
[17:11:50] <fkleint> How about API  review?
[17:11:54] <fkleint> is that considered done?
[17:13:19] <jaheikki3> fkleint: I don't think so. It is still ongoing, I need to check the detailed status
[17:13:51] <fkleint> Ok, I lost the plot
[17:14:07] <jaheikki3> fkleint: But we need to finalize it soon
[17:14:11] <fkleint> Edward has pushed the diff, not sure if people are looking at it
[17:14:49] <jaheikki3> There seems tro be some comments...
[17:15:32] <jaheikki3> I will check the status later this week
[17:16:24] <jaheikki3> Then 5.6 status
[17:16:59] <jaheikki3> Branching is ongoing, final downmerge from '5.6' -> '5.6.1' will be done tomorrow
[17:17:35] <jaheikki3> gt5.git integration succeed, new snapshot available & under RTA testing
[17:17:51] <jaheikki3> No official test request sent yet, will be done later this week
[17:18:34] <jaheikki3> plan to start creating snapshots from '5.6.1' when final downmerge is done
[17:19:11] <jaheikki3> Quite many bugs still open in blocker list, see https://bugreports.qt.io/issues/?filter=17596
[17:19:31] <jaheikki3> Status questios sent to responsible persons today
[17:20:03] <jaheikki3> But it seems it will still take some time before we are ready to be release Qt 5.6.1
[17:20:44] <jaheikki3> Any comments or questions?
[17:22:27] <fkleint> None..just wondering if switching from Dedicated "Fix before" task to bug filter  was such a great idea,..
[17:23:22] <carewolf> well, maybe just narrow the filter with a P1 :)
[17:23:35] <jaheikki3> fkleint: well yes. Let's try that now & make the new desicion later if this isn't working well enough
[17:23:45] <fkleint> yep
[17:25:23] <jaheikki3> ok, this was all at this time. Let's have new meeting 17th May.
[17:26:29] <jaheikki3> Thanks for participation. Bye!
