1. September 2022
- General
- We will have a talk at the QtWS
- Infra & Releases
- Better to re-create 6.3.2, many changes were in. Simo?
- Branching out 6.4.0 1 week before release to test the wheel.
- Bugs & Releases
- Triaging some bugs, they ended up being QTBUG
- Flags or operator issue when compared to None (QVariant possible change)
- Research on the PoC regarding Android deployment continues, there are some complications on the buildozer related step. Maybe recipe related?
- Starting to investigate if it could be possible to interact with Microcontrollers
- Three patches concerning PyEnums were finished, and still needs to be merged due to an issue with Python 3.9 - It is a simple version problem of enum.py vs. enum_310.py that can easily be avoided.
- WebAssembly research continues, there was an issue with the CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE variable that was picked up from the system.
- Python to C++ tool to be included with an entry point.
- Tweaking documentation pages
- Better to add descriptions to commits that don't have a clear title.
25. August 2022
- General
- Main wiki page seems to be a bit outdated, we should try to motivate folks to read the docs as a first thing.
- There will be a talk at Akademy 2022 in Barcelona
- Infra & Releases
- 6.3.2 to be released soon (a couple of patches needs to be added)
- Bugs & Features
- PYSIDE-1735 Almost ready, but still figuring out some final details, for example Key combinations, and Flag combinations as well.
- libpyside now has a logging category (for qtmetacall, and see properties assigned, etc) motivated by PYSIDE-2033 when not using Slot decorator.
- QMessageBox allow thread issue was solved
- M2M modules (commercial) docs will be available
- Adding a new Bluetooth example (heart server)
- WebAssembly research continues: emsdk toolchains between Python and Qt are different, so there are incompatibility issues. Trying to cross compile raises issues related to building shiboken.
- Pyodide seems to rewrite some distutils methods, so it's impossible to build using our own overrides.
- Adding deprecation warning to Enums
- Debian packaging story continues, but it looks good :)
- Trying to build full docs on Windows is a bit tricky due to libxslt and libxml not being easy to get.
18. August 2022
- General
- Infra & Releases
- 6.3.2 preparations continued
- Bugs & Features
- PYSIDE-2031, PYSIDE-1721 Work on C++ doc snippet conversion
- Work on porting further examples
- PYSIDE-2025 Investigated issues in Datavisualization
- WASM research
- PyEnum: Story finished API-wise. To come are optimizations and removal of old enum code.
- Signature test simplified and activated, again. Signatures are now always tested.
- Isolated a whitespace error in QtWebEngineWidget that was to be fixed in ApiExtractor
- PyEnum: Working on documentation
- Profiling signature module. Rewrite parts in C? cProfile and line-profiler (3.9)
- QFormLayout.takeRowResult() should now finally be supported if the test is indeed right (PYSIDE-1312)
- Fixed an old problem with random values in QFormLayout.getItemPosition() for row == -1.
- Android story requires jumping through some hoops on Windows (several parts of the toolchain are Linux only).
- Toolchain can run on WSL, but problems for Android Virtual Device -> adb redirection over TCP as workaround.
- adb redirection over TCP not yet supported by Qt Creator, complicating some things - might be easy to fix, investigating.
