[Releasing] Final downmerge from dev to '5.11' done

[Jani Heikkinen]

Hi!

Final downmerge from 'dev' to '5.11' is now done and Qt 5.11 FF is officially in effect. From now on 'dev' is for Qt 5.12 and we will continue finalizing Qt 5.11 in '5.11'. 

Overall release schedule can be found from release wiki (https://wiki.qt.io/Qt_5.11_Release). Plan is to get alpha out as soon as possible; hoping that will happen earlier than planned. Target is to release it immediately after qt5.git integration succeed in '5.11' and when we have created and RTA tested needed packages.

Please update Qt 5.11 new features wiki (https://wiki.qt.io/New_Features_in_Qt_5.11) now.

br,
Jani

Hi all,

Most probably there is changes in 'dev' which should be in Qt 5.11 but which aren't yet integrated because of CI issues recently. That's why let's postpone final downmerge (and Qt 5.11 FF) to the end of this week. New plan is to have final downmerge from 'dev' to '5.11' (and Qt 5.11 FF) Monday 5.2.2018 (morning).

Hoping CI will behave now and you have enough time to get needed changes in before final downmerge. And remember: This delay is just to get changes in, not for getting extra time for new implementation!

br,
Jani
