[Releasing] Meeting minutes from Qt Release Team meeting 27.11.2018

[Jani Heikkinen]

Meeting minutes from Qt Release Team meeting 27th November 2018

Qt 5.12 status:
- RC released last Thu, testing ongoing
- Unfortunately RC2 needed (because of QTBUG-71238 /QTBUG-72004)
   * Fixes for QTBUG-71983, QTBUG-71809, QTBUG-71724 & QTBUG-71987 will be in in RC2 as well
   * Fixes are in and qt5.git integration is already ongoing.
   * Target to release RC 2 tomorrow/Thu. That way we can still keep the planned release schedule. So no new changes in rc2/final anymore.
- Target is to release Qt 5.12.0 and Qt Creator 4.8.0 5.12.2018 

Qt 5.11.3:
- Release content is finally in place
- qt5.git integration ongoing. When ready we will create release packages
- RTA tests will be run for packages and if all OK we will release Qt 5.11.3
   * Let's see if that will happen at the end of this week or beginning of next one

Next meeting Tue 4.12.2018 16:00 CET

[17:04:36] <jaheikki3> RC released last Thu, testing ongoing
[17:04:55] <jaheikki3> Unfortunately RC2 needed, mostly because of QTBUG-71238 /QTBUG-72004
[17:04:57] <qt_gerrit> jaheikki3: QQC1 Button with Menu broken on second popup - https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-71238 (Closed)
[17:04:57] <qt_gerrit> jaheikki3: [REG Qt 5.11.2 -> Qt 5.12.0-beta4] Popup menus in Properties view can be shown only once - https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-72004 (Closed)
[17:05:10] <jaheikki3> Target to release RC 2 tomorrow/Thu. That way we can still keep the planned release schedule
[17:05:39] <jaheikki3> In addition rc2 will contain fixes for QTBUG-71983, QTBUG-71809, QTBUG-71724 & QTBUG-71987
[17:05:39] <qt_gerrit> jaheikki3: Fails to build with openssl 1.1.0 - https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-71983 (Closed)
[17:05:39] <qt_gerrit> jaheikki3: Qt Designer (embedded): Qt Creator crashes when reopening a form containing a resource file - https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-71809 (Closed)
[17:05:39] <qt_gerrit> jaheikki3: macOS: possible binary compatibility break - https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-71724 (Closed)
[17:05:39] <qt_gerrit> jaheikki3: Crash on null MODEL object - https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-71987 (Closed)
[17:06:08] <jaheikki3> fixes are already in and qt5.git integration is already ongoing
[17:07:01] <jaheikki3> And target is still to release Qt 5.12.0 and Qt Creator 4.8.0 5.12.2018 
[17:07:25] <jaheikki3> That's all about 5.12.0 status at this time. Any comments or questions?
[17:07:35] <thiago> can we add the ICC build fix?
[17:07:59] <jaheikki3> thiago: not anymore without delaying rc2 & final
[17:08:28] <jaheikki3> let's keep it as known issue in .0 and fix it in 5.12.1
[17:08:36] <rlobel> may I suggest to have fix for QTBUG-71991 in 5.12 rc2 as well, since it fixes a regression from Qt 5.11.2 and 5.12 beta1 (fix for a patch introduced in 5.12 beta2) ? https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/246601/
[17:08:36] <qt_gerrit> rlobel: [qt/qtbase/5.12.0] Windows: Fix embedded application not getting focus after clicking outside from Friedemann Kleint - https://codereview.qt-project.org/246601 (NEW)
[17:08:36] <qt_gerrit> rlobel: [reg 5.12 b1->5.12 rc]/Windows: VST-embedded Qt app can't get focus back after clicking outside - https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-71991 (Closed)
[17:09:05] <thiago> ok, quite stupid of us to have an FTBFS with a fix ready, but not fix it
[17:09:14] <thiago> the fix was known before rc1
[17:10:05] <thiago> are we applying torarne's fix for macOS _debug suffixes?
[17:10:27] <jaheikki3> rlobel: as written already no time to add new stuff in anymore without delaying the releases
[17:11:06] <jaheikki3> rlobel: and I see fix for that too risky compared to bug priority/severity
[17:11:15] <rlobel> ok
[17:11:15] <jaheikki3> rlobel: so that will be fixed in .1 instead
[17:11:43] <jaheikki3> thiago: torarne's debug fix will be in
[17:13:28] <thiago> ok
[17:13:51] <jaheikki3> Ok, this was all about 5.12.0 at this time
[17:13:59] <jaheikki3> Then Qt 5.11.3 status:
[17:14:08] <jaheikki3> Release content is finally in place
[17:14:17] <jaheikki3> qt5.git integration ongoing. When ready we will create release packages
[17:14:27] <jaheikki3> RTA tests will be run for packages and if all OK we will release Qt 5.11.3 
[17:14:53] <jaheikki3> Let's see if that will happen at the end of this week or beginning of next one
[17:15:05] <jaheikki3> but that's all about 5.11.3
[17:15:07] <thiago> does 5.12.0 content contain a merge of 5.11.3 release?
[17:15:11] <jaheikki3> Any comments or questions?
[17:15:57] <jaheikki3> thiago: no, no merges in anymore
[17:16:30] <thiago> ok
[17:16:38] <thiago> so 5.11.3 will have a handful of fixes not in 5.12.0
[17:16:42] <thiago> they will be in 5.12.1
[17:16:46] <jaheikki3> Yes
[17:17:18] <jaheikki3> Or actually at least most of important ones should be also in 5.12.0
[17:19:02] <rlobel> is there any target date for 5.12.1 at this point ? Early january ?
[17:19:43] <jaheikki3> rlobel: I would say mid-january due to Christmas break
[17:19:57] <jaheikki3> But as soon as possible in January
[17:20:49] <rlobel> ok
[17:21:12] <jaheikki3> Ok, this was all at this time. Let's end this meeting now & have new one Tue 4th December at this same time
[17:21:29] <thiago> thanks
[17:21:30] <jaheikki3> Thanks for your participation, bye!
[17:21:34] <frkleint> bye
[17:21:34] <ankokko_> ok,bye
