[17:14:03] <jaheikki3> To be able to do it we need to finalize merges & fix remaining blockers as well as finalize missing changes files during this week
[17:14:25] <The-Compiler> Any update on getting that issue I'll linked on the ML into 5.10.0? Let me find it again...
[17:15:05] <The-Compiler> https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-63388
[17:15:05] <qt_gerrit> The-Compiler: [REG 5.9 -> 5.10] Every second download from localhost is ignored - https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-63388 (In Progress)
[17:16:14] <The-Compiler> this kind of prevents me from easily running my project's testsuite (which is quite comprehensive) on Qt 5.10 right now, as pretty much everything dealing with downloads fails
[17:17:16] <jaheikki3> The-Compiler: Yeah, issue isn't in the blocker list but it seems fix is already available & just staged
[17:17:58] <The-Compiler> yeah, but https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/208595/ has been staged since a week and still isn't in due to CI issues
[17:17:58] <qt_gerrit> yeah, [qt/qtwebengine/5.10] Stop preserving aborted navigation entries from Jüri Valdmann - https://codereview.qt-project.org/208595 (STAGED)
[17:18:36] <The-Compiler> and it's on the 5.10 branch, so I just want to make sure it makes it in in time :)
[17:19:51] <jaheikki3> Yes, we have had some ci issues lately. Let's hope ci behaves & we get that change in
[17:20:36] <jaheikki3> Any other comments or questions?
[17:23:39] <jaheikki3> The-Compiler: I added issue in the blocker list, sorry that I missed your mail earlier
[17:24:06] <The-Compiler> Thank you!
[17:24:45] <jaheikki3> That was all at this time. Let's have new meeting tue 21st Nov as planned
[17:25:05] <jaheikki3> Thanks for you participation. Bye!
[17:25:10] <ankokko__> bye
