[17:08:29] <thiago> I should look into that
[17:08:43] <carewolf_home> so three left
[17:09:01] <carewolf_home> and qtdeclarative probably done, but nobody dares +2 it
[17:09:11] <+jaheikki3> yes, that's true
[17:10:01] <+jaheikki3> That's all about Qt 6.4 status at this time. Any more comments or questions?
[17:11:32] <+jaheikki3> Ok, then Qt 6.3 status
[17:11:53] <+jaheikki3> Qt 6.3.2 preparations are ongoing

[17:13:25] <thiago> not from me
[17:13:41] <carewolf_home> Just a note. Please don't close qtwebengin 6.3, since we now use it for qt 6.2 LTS
[17:14:00] <carewolf_home> though we should probably switch to 6.4 once that one is done
[17:14:13] <+jaheikki3> Yes, that's true
[17:15:12] <+jaheikki3> It was all at this time. Let's end this meeting now & have new one tue 23rd August at this same time
[17:15:21] <thiago> it closes when 6.4 releases, doesn't it?
[17:15:23] <+jaheikki3> Thanks for your participation, bye!
[17:16:05] <frkleint> bye
[17:16:17] <carewolf_home> perhaps. but it might take a some time to ensure it can build with qt 6.2
[17:16:24] <carewolf_home> bye
