[17:00:59] <thiago> jaheikki3: pong

[17:01:20] <vohi> pong

[17:01:37] <jaheikki3> time to start qt release team meeting

[17:01:44] <jaheikki3> on agenda today:

[17:01:53] <jaheikki3> Qt 6.5 status

[17:01:57] <jaheikki3> Qt 6.4 status

[17:02:06] <jaheikki3> Any additional item to the agenda?

[17:03:07] <jaheikki3> Let's browse through the 6.5 status at first

[17:03:24] <jaheikki3> Qt 6.5 Beta3 released last week

[17:04:00] <jaheikki3> Target is to release Qt 6.5 RC Thu 16th March so I think beta3 will be the last beta release for Qt 6.5

[17:04:30] <jaheikki3> API Change review completed

[17:04:45] <jaheikki3> and string freeze for Qt 6.5 is in effect now

[17:05:18] <jaheikki3> Target is to branch '6.5.0' from '6.5' tomorrow

[17:05:47] <vohi> QtCore didn't have a +2 last time I checked (yesterday); will have another look, don't think anything critical was pending

[17:05:51] <jaheikki3> I'll do that if submodule update succeed in '6.5'

[17:06:51] <jaheikki3> vohi: Ok, I think it already had +2 but I might be wrong

[17:07:27] <jaheikki3> Qt 6.5.0 Release target is Thu 30th March 2023

[17:07:49] <jaheikki3> and blocker list for the RC is here: https://bugreports.qt.io/issues/?filter=24758

[17:08:00] <vohi> Branching will keep the jira bot busy again with updating tickets, might need some handholding of the infrastructure

[17:09:06] <jaheikki3> yeah. And I'll check before branching if things are settled down after last night gerrit failure. If not I'll postpone the branching a bit

[17:09:21] <vohi> Sounds good

[17:09:35] <jaheikki3> This was all about 6.5 status at this time. Any other comments or questions?

[17:10:39] <jaheikki3> Ok, then qt 6.4 status

[17:10:55] <jaheikki3> Branching from '6.4' to '6.4.3' is done

[17:11:21] <jaheikki3> Unfortunately Qt 6.4.3 release content not frozen yet but the target is to freeze the content during this week

[17:12:14] <thiago> why not?

[17:13:20] <jaheikki3> There is couple of 3rd party module updates ongoing + couple of release related documentation issues not done yet

[17:13:45] <jaheikki3> We will wait those and then freeze the release content

[17:13:58] <thiago> ok

[17:14:13] <jaheikki3> Next week is winter holiday week in Oulu area so I postponed Qt 6.4.3 release target to the week after that (Tue 14th March)

[17:15:05] <jaheikki3> That's all about Qt 6.4 status at this time. Any more comments or questions?

[17:16:56] <jaheikki3> Ok, it was all at this time. I am having my winter holiday next week so let's have next meeting tue 14th March at this same time.

[17:17:08] <jaheikki3> Thanks for your participation, bye!

[17:17:17] <vohi> Thanks!

[17:17:21] <thiago> thanks
