Hi, We seem to be sticking to the plan from the email I sent mid-April, starting this thread: "We will perform at least two concluding, manually executed forward merges from Qt 5.15 into dev, around RC time (end of April) and once the .0 release is packaged. So no changes will be lost.” So, for the process this means: * we are waiting for the go from Jani that 5.15.0 is wrapped up (it’s not quite yet) * once we have it, we will initiate the final forward merges 5.15.0 -> 5.15 -> dev Before the final forward merge is done, we don’t want any cherry-picks in 5.15 yet, and we don’t any 5.15-only content either, as it just complicates the merge. For you this means: * work against dev already now; since 5.15.0 is done, there’s no reason to continue to target 5.15 (*) * add Pick-to: footers to changes you’d like to have cherry-picked down into 5.15 (the commit template in qt5.git/dev is updated) Once the final forward merge is done, we will pick the Pick-to:’ed changes down into 5.15, and turn on cherry-pick bot everyhwere. Volker (*) except for changes that are 5.15 only; but with those, please wait until the final forward merge is done _______________________________________________ Development mailing list [email protected] https://lists.qt-project.org/listinfo/development
