Hi everybody, first of all thanks to everybody who came and participated at the contributor summit. I got a bit too much sidetracked and missed many of the technical discussions I wanted attend. But it's great to see the notes and summaries from the different sessions flow in now, and it shows that we had a very productive 3 days in Berlin.
The Qt 5 beta is getting closer, and I think we'll have something releasable within the next two weeks. Technically we have most things in place, but the sha1's in qt5.git will need to follow and get quite a bit closer to the HEADs of each repository. There's still a few technical gaps left (e.g. WebKit2 on Windows, some multimedia pieces on Mac and Windows, DnD on Mac), but I still think it's better to now ship a beta than to wait any longer. Please all make sure that you document these technical gaps in the Known Issues section of the release notes. The main areas for the beta that still need focus is documentation and packaging. Please test new packages when they become available and report issues to Jira and releas...@qt-project.org. Please also help by going through the generated documentation and the examples for your areas and fix remaining issues in there. On a personal note, I will be leaving for a three week summer vacation with my family starting tomorrow. I'll try to catch up on the mailing list and my email from time to time, but will have rather limited connectivity. In the meantime, Jason McDonald will be the release manager for the beta and can make the final call on the package quality. Casper will have a special focus on the documentation in the package. Marius Storm-Olsen will coordinate the other parts of the release process with our folks from the marketing mailing list and other places. For all other areas the usual suspects (ie. the Maintainers) can do the calls. If they can't agree, you'll have to find me in my hiding place or wait a until I come back... ;-) In case you're also taking some time off, enjoy your vacations and the summer (at least for the parts of the world that has summer currently). Cheers, Lars _______________________________________________ Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development
