[Releasing] [Development] New Qt 5.8 rc snapshot for testing

[Simon Hausmann]

Hi,


Slight correction: It's not a regression against 5.7, but it is still a regression [☹] . I'll fix it ASAP for 5.8.1 and

back-port it also to the 5.6 branch.


Simon

Hi,


While I agree that this (58133) is a bug, I would not classify it as a bug to halt the entire release. It's neither

a regression or a particularly common scenario to run into, I would argue. That said, it's a crash, it needs fixing

and I'll fix it.



Simon

QTBUG-56163 is the main blocker for me, which prevents me from migrating
to qt-5.8. have already reported it 3 months ago and requested it via
the commercial support.

thanks a lot,

I just submitted QTBUG-58133 on yesterday. It will make applications that use QuickFlux crash when passing a signal with QJSValue (isUndefined == true) via a C++ class to QML.
