[17:01:29] <vohi> jaheikki3: pong

[17:01:42] <thiago> jaheikki3: pong

[17:01:47] <jaheikki3> time to start qt release team meeting

[17:01:52] <jaheikki3> on agenda today:

[17:01:59] <jaheikki3> Qt 6.5 status

[17:02:03] <jaheikki3> Qt 6.6 status

[17:02:08] <jaheikki3> Qt 6.7 initial schedule

[17:02:18] <jaheikki3> Any additional items to the agenda?

[17:03:10] <jaheikki3> Let's start from Qt 6.5 status

[17:03:28] <jaheikki3> Branching from '6.5' to '6.5.3' not done yet but the target is to do the branching later this week

[17:03:55] <jaheikki3> Release plan is still the same: Target is to release Qt 6.5.3 during September. Current target is 19th of September

[17:04:20] <jaheikki3> That's all about Qt 6.5 status at this time. Any comments or questions?

[17:04:25] <vohi> the recent CI instability has caused a lot of cherry-picks into 6.5 (and 6.6 for that matter) to fail and pile up, e.g. https://codereview.qt-project.org/q/status:open+branch:6.5+repo:qt/qtbase

[17:05:03] <vohi> since 6.5.3 is expected to be the last release immediately available to Open Source users we should make sure that most things are in before we branch

[17:05:41] <jaheikki3> Yeah, agree. And we aren't that hurry with Qt 6.5.3 so we can wait thse

[17:06:32] <jaheikki3> Then Qt 6.6 status

[17:06:54] <jaheikki3> Qt 6.6.0 Beta4 content isn't frozen yet

[17:07:30] <jaheikki3> We are still waiting remaining API change review related fixes to land in '6.6' as well as some 3rd party component updates

[17:07:56] <jaheikki3> target is to freeze the beta4 content during this week

[17:08:34] <jaheikki3> Branching from '6.6' to '6.6.0' isn't done yet. Target is to do it  after beta4 content is frozen.

[17:09:11] <jaheikki3> Target is to release Qt 6.6.0 RC ~mid September, blocker list here: https://bugreports.qt.io/issues/?filter=25215

[17:09:30] <jaheikki3> That's all about QT 6.6 status at this time. Any comments or questions?

[17:10:48] <thiago> checking

[17:11:12] <thiago> no

[17:11:29] <jaheikki3> And then Qt 6.7 initial schedule:

[17:11:58] <jaheikki3> Proposal sent to dev ml last week (https://lists.qt-project.org/pipermail/development/2023-August/044417.html), no objections

[17:12:12] <jaheikki3> So initial schedule for Qt 6.7 is:

[17:12:23] <jaheikki3> Qt 6.7 Platform and Module freeze 24.11.2023

[17:12:33] <jaheikki3> Qt 6.7 Feature Freeze 8.12.2023

[17:12:51] <jaheikki3> and Qt 6.7 Final release 19.3.2024

[17:13:09] <jaheikki3> Any comments or questions?

[17:13:48] <thiago> freeze shortly before WS and CS, probably a good idea

[17:14:08] <thiago> oh, feature freeze is after

[17:14:36] <thiago> ok, no problem. So long as it's not that exact week.

[17:14:47] <jaheikki3> Great!
