[Releasing] Meeting minutes from Qt Release Team meeting 16.1.2018

[Jani Heikkinen]

Meeting minutes from Qt Release Team meeting 16th January 2018

Qt 5.9.4 status:
- Snapshot under testing. One new blocker reported so far
   * Some reports still missing but so far packages seems to be quite good.
- All known blockers (https://bugreports.qt.io/issues/?filter=19034) should have a fix available
   * Last one under integration
--> We should have final content in place quite soon (if nothing new & serious enough found from ongoing tests)
- Target is to create final packages immediately after last fix is integrated in qt5.git, run RTA for packages & put the release out
   * Hoping we can get it out still during this week

Qt 5.10.1 status:
- Branching not started yet. We are still waiting Qt 5.9.4 final content & merges from '5.9.4' -> '5.9' -> '5.10'
- First packages done & RTA ongoing. If all seems to be OK we will publish the snapshot & run full manual test round for it
- Only few bugs in the blocker list at the moment, see https://bugreports.qt.io/issues/?filter=19047
   * Most of open ones should have a fix available already
- Target is still to get release out during January

Qt 5.11:
- Feature freeze quite close so it is time to start updating new features page for Qt 5.11 (https://wiki.qt.io/New_Features_in_Qt_5.11)
   * Soft branching starts ~after a week and FF & final branching will be at the end of this month
- No known new submodules for Qt 5.11
- First binary snapshot done & RTA for it ongoing. If all seems to be OK we will publish the snapshot soon.

br,
Jani

[17:05:54] <qt_gerrit> jaheikki3_: QQuickWidget doesn't receive mouse events when not at topleft corner of window - https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-65800 (In Progress)
[17:06:06] <jaheikki3_> Fix should be coming soon
[17:06:50] <jaheikki3_> Few test reports still missing but so far packages seems to be pretty good
[17:07:09] <The-Compiler> https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/216729/ will be in the release, right?
[17:07:09] <qt_gerrit> The-Compiler: [qt/qtwebengine/5.9.4] Update Chromium from Allan Sandfeld Jensen - https://codereview.qt-project.org/216729 (MERGED)
[17:07:25] <jaheikki3_> The-Compiler: Yes
[17:08:59] <jaheikki3_> Target is create final packages immediately after fix for QTBUG-65800 is in (if nothing new & serious enough found from binaries where testing is still ongoing)
[17:08:59] <qt_gerrit> jaheikki3_: QQuickWidget doesn't receive mouse events when not at topleft corner of window - https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-65800 (In Progress)
[17:09:20] <jaheikki3_> Then just new RTA round and release if all is OK still
[17:09:47] <jaheikki3_> Let's see if we can get the release out still during this week
[17:10:21] <jaheikki3_> Any other comments or questions?
[17:11:51] <jaheikki3_> Ok,thats all about 5.9.4. Then Qt 5.10.1 status
[17:12:18] <jaheikki3_> Branching not started yet. We are still waiting Qt 5.9.4 final content & merges from '5.9.4' -> '5.9' -> '5.10' before starting it
[17:13:06] <jaheikki3_> First binary snapshot done & RTA ongoing. If all seems to be OK we will publish the snapshot & run full manual test round for it
[17:14:00] <jaheikki3_> Release blocker situation quite good at the moment, only few open in blocker list (https://bugreports.qt.io/issues/?filter=19047) and fixes are available for most of those already
[17:14:46] <jaheikki3_> If all goes well it should be possible to get Qt 5.10.1 release out during January
[17:15:03] <jaheikki3_> Any comments or questions?
[17:17:00] <jaheikki3_> That was all about 5.10.1 now
[17:17:09] <jaheikki3_> Then Qt 5.11 status:
[17:17:52] <jaheikki3_> Feature freeze is already quite close: Soft branching starts ~after a week and FF & final branching will be at the end of this month
[17:18:26] <jaheikki3_> So it is time to start updating new features page for Qt 5.11 (https://wiki.qt.io/New_Features_in_Qt_5.11)
[17:18:50] <jaheikki3_> So far it seems there won't be any new submodules in Qt 5.11
[17:19:23] <jaheikki3_> But is one(s) coming please make sure those will be in qt5.git before soft branching starts
[17:19:50] <jaheikki3_> First binary snapshot created as well & RTA for it ongoing. If all seems to be OK we will publish the snapshot soon
[17:20:30] <jaheikki3_> Any comments or questions?
[17:20:34] <The-Compiler> I'm kinda concerned about new features in QtWebEngine - there's a lot of nice things started but not finished for Qt 5.11 and I'm wondering whether that'll all get in in time... See https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/issues/3010 for a list. Well, if not, I guess I'll have something to look forward to for Qt 5.12 if not :)
[17:21:55] <jaheikki3_> yeah, if something isn't ready at FF then those needs to wait Qt 5.12
[17:22:54] <jaheikki3_> Ok, this was all at this time.  
[17:23:29] <jaheikki3_> Let's skip next weeks meeting & have new one tue 30th January 16:00 CET
[17:23:47] <jaheikki3_> Thanks for your participation. Bye!
[17:24:23] <frkleint> bye
[17:24:26] <frkleint> sounds good
