[17:05:02] <jaheikki3> Lets start from Qt 5.12.12 status
[17:05:25] <jaheikki3> release content frozen and release packages created

[17:06:58] <jaheikki3> Target is to get release out Thu 25th November
[17:07:14] <jaheikki3> But that's all about Qt 5.12.12 at this time. Any more comments or questions?
[17:08:34] <jaheikki3> Ok, then Qt 6.2.2 status
[17:09:06] <jaheikki3> Release content almost frozen; last changes are integrationg
[17:09:47] <jaheikki3> When integrations succeed we need full dependency update round and then we should have release content in place
[17:10:11] <carewolf> will https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt/qtwebengine/+/382663 make it?
[17:10:26] <carewolf> should probably have been targeted differently
[17:11:18] <jaheikki3> carewolf: Heh, I haven't noticed it earlier but we can still take it in
[17:11:44] <carewolf> great
[17:12:25] <jaheikki3> And yes, whould have been better to put it at first in 6.2.2 and picked to dev & 6.2 but it is too late for that now
[17:13:06] <jaheikki3> So target is to create release packages later this week and release Qt 6.2.2 tue 30th November as planned
[17:13:20] <jaheikki3> That's all about Qt 6.2.2 at this time. Any comments or questions?

[17:16:52] <jaheikki3> It was all about 6.3.0 status at this time. Any comments or questions?
