[17:04:01] Let's start from 5.9 beta status: [17:05:01] We should have beta content in place now. All beta blockers should have a fix available [17:05:34] packages are in staging server & under RTA smoke test [17:05:54] If smoke tests are OK we will update packages in the production & run full RTA [17:06:28] ANd if all still ok we will release current packages as Qt 5.9.0 beta [17:06:44] target is still to get beta release out during this week [17:08:00] And as informed earlier beta will be available via online installers only + of course separate src packages but no offline installers (except QNX which isn't available via online at the moment) [17:08:31] Any comments or questions? [17:08:51] sounds good [17:08:55] yup [17:09:02] is the BC test ok? [17:09:09] or, when is it planned? [17:09:22] fkleint: should be, it is part of CI [17:09:28] ah,ok [17:11:04] ok, it was all about beta at this time [17:11:24] Then new release process after the beta release: [17:11:58] I sent a proposal to development and releasing MLs ~ week ago, see http://lists.qt-project.org/pipermail/development/2017-March/029243.html [17:12:44] so no binaries for beta2... but still for RC? [17:13:55] carewolf: No, there will be binaries for beta ... beta n [17:14:01] & also for rc [17:14:25] ah just snapshots gone [17:14:31] but then new betas to replace them [17:14:46] Yeah [17:14:56] That is, will there be an online installer for the noncommercial packages,too? [17:16:12] fkleint: yes, it is already available. Everyone can use normal unified online installer to get packages. If you have enterprise account you will get enterprise packages and if not then you will get OS one [17:17:03] Aha, and the one can continuously update the RCs [17:17:15] yes [17:17:51] here is guide: http://wiki.qt.io/How_to_get_snapshot_via_online_installer [17:18:04] Aha cool [17:18:32] all betas & rcs will be as an update to existing ones [17:19:18] And as I wrote we will try to release new betas quite reqularly so there should be several betas before official RC [17:21:36] And we will release new betas when enough new content in & packages OK, without asking 'ok' from this meeting. Releasing RC will be agreed in this meeting of course [17:22:23] Any other comments / questions ? [17:22:24] sounds ok to me [17:24:15] Ok, this was all at this time.

We've already got the first 5.9 beta out, so the release should happen hopefully by the end of May. We should be able to branch 5.6.3 and release sooner than August. That would also help alleviate the work of both a 5.6.3 and 5.10 alpha close together. At this time, 5.6.3 has 405 patches in qtbase, versus 530 that went there for 5.6.2. I'd rather release with fewer than more, as it decreases the chance of being difficult to achieve a release. And the more we wait, the more there will be of them. And it would place 5.6.3 more or less half-way between 5.6.2 (Nov 2016) and 5.6.4 (Feb 2018).

We need to get Qt5.9 out first & then start doing 5.6.3 and 5.10 and so on there isn't enough time to get 5.6.3 out before summer holidays. But we should be able to get one or two 5.6.3 snapshots (or release candidates) out before summer holidays. That way we should be quite close to 5.6.3 when coming back... > > At this time, 5.6.3 has 405 patches in qtbase, versus 530 that went there for > 5.6.2.

But on the other hand there is that many changes already in and quite long time since we tested this release and that's why we surely need time to test & fix the remaining things before we are ready for the release. - Jani From jani.heikkinen at qt.io Wed Apr 19 06:57:12 2017 From: jani.heikkinen at qt.io (Jani Heikkinen) Date: Wed, 19 Apr 2017 04:57:12 +0000 Subject: [Releasing] Meeting minutes from Qt Release Team meeting 18.4.2017 Message-ID: Meeting minutes from Qt Release Team meeting 18th April 2017 Qt 5.9 status: - Target to get beta2 out during this week * testing already ongoing - Soft string freeze this week, official string freeze at the end of next week - Header diff needs to be started now to be able to execute it & fix possible findings early enough - Branching from '5.9' to '5.9.0' at the beginning of may -> Soft branching starts already next week Qt 5.10 initial schedule: - Qt 5.10 Feature Freeze: 8.8.2017 - Qt 5.10 Alpha Release: 31.8.2017 - First Qt 5.10 Beta Release 5.10.2017 - Qt 5.10 RC 16.11.2017 - Qt 5.10 final release 30.11.2017 Initial schedule for coming patch level releases: - Branch '5.6.3' from '5.6' at the end of May/beginning of June, 5.6.3 release target August 2017 - Branch '5.9.1' from '5.9' at the end of July/beginning of August, 5.9.1 release target September 2017 - Branch '5.9.2' from '5.9' Nov 2017 - Branch '5.6.4' from '5.6' Jan 2018 br, Jani Heikkinen Release Manager irc log below: [17:00:02] akseli: iieklund: thiago: fkleint: ZapB: tronical:vladimirM: aholza: peter-h: mapaaso: ankokko: fkleint: carewolf: fregl:ablasche:ping [17:00:24] jaheikki3: pong [17:01:51] time to start qt release team meeting [17:02:01] on agenda today: [17:02:08] jaheikki3L: pong [17:02:15] Qt 5.9 status [17:02:29] Qt 5.10, 5.9.1 & 5.6.3 schedule proposal [17:02:41] Any additional item to the agenda?

[17:12:37] Ok, it was all about 5.9 at this time. Then schedules of next releases after Qt 5.9 [17:13:49] I have sent proposals for coming 5.10, 5.6.x and 5.9.x release schedules last week, see http://lists.qt-project.org/pipermail/development/2017-April/029434.html & http://lists.qt-project.org/pipermail/development/2017-April/029489.html [17:16:14] there weren't that much comments (yet), one related 5.8.1 and another one if we could do 5.6.3 already during h1/2017 [17:17:14] 5.8.1 won't happen as decided earlier [17:18:36] And we need to secure Qt 5.9 plan and so on we cannot start preparations for Qt 5.6.3 early enough to be able to release it still during h1/2017 [17:19:16] hm [17:20:11] Unfortunately proposed plan seems to be the best we can do. And it will be tight to get all that out in time [17:21:18] Of course we can update the plan later if it seems we can do something earlier or if we need to delay something, [17:21:49] Any comments or questions?

Qt needs definitely to be tested after fixing the mentioned bug (which is currently announced to be fixed in RC) +1 for beta3 regards, Torben From Eike.Ziller at qt.io Mon Apr 24 13:58:51 2017 From: Eike.Ziller at qt.io (Eike Ziller) Date: Mon, 24 Apr 2017 11:58:51 +0000 Subject: [Releasing] [Development] Qt 5.9 beta2 available In-Reply-To: <3401310.tvSvmj8EF5@lapi.koller> References: <3401310.tvSvmj8EF5@lapi.koller> Message-ID: <8383ED51-250C-49AB-9B93-AA24E9E219A2@qt.io> > On Apr 24, 2017, at 13:45, Martin Koller wrote: > > On Freitag, 21.

I also asked you all to take a tour for Qt 5.9 beta2 & report the effort via it. As you can see there isn't really any reports from community yet. It would be really beneficial for Qt to get packages tested early enough & find all release blockers well before official release. That would help us to keep the schedules and improve the release quality. So do you have some ideas how to get you all better involved to this? Is wiki page & table easy enough for this or should we use some other format? Getting you involved to this more will help us to do more patch level releases in the future as well (which has been the hot topic during this spring)... br, Jani From tuukka.turunen at qt.io Tue Apr 25 18:16:40 2017 From: tuukka.turunen at qt.io (Tuukka Turunen) Date: Tue, 25 Apr 2017 16:16:40 +0000 Subject: [Releasing] [Development] Testing help needed In-Reply-To: References: , Message-ID: Hi, There were quite many people who expressed interest a few months ago to help in making the releases, so hopefully we get a lot of suggestions to better engage with the whole community for testing the releases. Quite many are testing new Qt versions with their applications and reporting issues via bugreports. This is really valuable and we hope that with the new process of multiple betas available via the online installer this testing becomes even easier. In addition we would like to have people to test new releases for wider functionality than just what their app needs. Optimally all, but that is of course not possible in practice. We have automatic testing in place with quite good coverage, but in order to catch all the needed issues manual testing is still beneficial. This is what Jani is asking volunteers to help with. The sooner we find issues to fix, the better. So time for testing is now.
