Meeting minutes from Qt Release Team meeting 27th September 2016

Qt 5.8.0 beta status:

- No full set of binaries for testing yet [☹]

   * Fixes should be in & we should be able to create full set quite soon

- Hoping we can get packages ready today. Then RTA smoke & if everything seems to be OK then start manual test round on Thursday to see how close the beta we are

- There is some blockers open atm and most probably we will find some new ones during the testing so most probably we cannot keep the original beta schedule

   * Current beta blocker list here: https://bugreports.qt.io/issues/?filter=17924

Qt 5.6.2 status:

- We should have finally final content in place & in qt5.git

   * There were 2 blockers reported from previous packages

- Currently we will prioritize Qt 5.8.0 beta & start Qt 5.6.2 testing round after we have tested coming Qt 5.8.0 beta snapshot

- Releasing Qt 5.6.2 is possible earliest next week

Qt 5.7.1:

- Branching from '5.7' to '5.7.1' ongoing
- Target is to finalize branching Mon 3rd October
- We are targeting to create snapshot for testing after we have get Qt 5.6.2 out
