[17:02:13] <jaheikki3_> Qt 6.5 status
[17:02:27] <jaheikki3_> Any additional item to the agenda?
[17:03:36] <jaheikki3_> Let's start from Qt 6.6 status:
[17:03:57] <jaheikki3_> beta3 released and beta4 preparations started
[17:04:09] <jaheikki3_> Target is to release Qt 6.6.0 beta4 at week 36
[17:04:26] <jaheikki3_> API Change review is still ongoing, see https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-114214
[17:04:43] <jaheikki3_> Updating 3rd party components is also ongoing, see https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-116234
[17:05:38] <jaheikki3_> Please help finalize those; it would be good to get all related fixes in before Beta4
[17:06:04] <vohi> For the API change review, most comments outside of Qt Core seem to be addressed with changes integrating; Qt Core has a few open comment threads
[17:06:47] <jaheikki3_> Branching from '6.6' to '6.6.0' will happen after beta4 content is frozen
[17:07:21] <jaheikki3_> Target is to release Qt 6.6.0 RC ~ mid September, Qt 6.6 RC blocker list here: https://bugreports.qt.io/issues/?filter=25215
[17:07:43] <jaheikki3_> That's all about Qt 6.6 status at this time. Any comments or questions?
[17:09:08] <jaheikki3_> Ok, then quick Qt 6.5 status update
[17:09:26] <thiago> I think the core ones are waiting for Marc to come back from vacation
[17:10:39] <jaheikki3_> Qt 6.5.3 release preparations started
[17:10:56] <jaheikki3_> Target is to release Qt 6.5.3 during September. Current target 19th September
[17:11:05] <vohi> thiago: some yes; but you could probably reply to his qprocess.h comments (the pass-by-value comment makes sense if the others can be closed without action)
[17:12:01] <jaheikki3_> Target is to start branching from '6.5' to '6.5.3' 5th September
[17:12:12] <jaheikki3_> Qt 6.5.3 blocker list here: https://bugreports.qt.io/issues/?filter=25223
[17:12:42] <jaheikki3_> And plan is that Qt 6.5.3 is the last public release from Qt 6.5 series
[17:13:03] <jaheikki3_> That's all about QT 6.5 status. Any comments or questions?
[17:15:16] <jaheikki3_> Ok, it was all at this time. Let's end this meeting now & have new one Tue 5th September at this same time
[17:15:26] <jaheikki3_> Thanks for your participation, bye!
