**Qt Meetups are starting to popup in Berlin and other countries! we might join some of them.
*** This is motivated from the true_propery patches being merged
**Discussions around improving the Qt Creator experience and UI creation in general.
*** Some pending patches
**There has been some motivation from Qt/C++ to use more CMake in projects (like for resources), which is negatively affecting the Python projects, due to the lack of CMake in the Python projects.

**[https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/PYSIDE-2404 PYSIDE-2404] More Progress in Lazy Initialization
***the optional __getattr__ in module objects was successfully implemented (but is seldom used)
***lazy init of Enums is probably no more needed, covered by the import scheme below
***most common cases like "from PySide6.QtWidgets import QLabel" supported by another __import__ override
***Keep your fingers crossed, testing starts today
**[https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/PYSIDE-2419 PYSIDE-2419] QLocale::language() returns wrong on macOS.
***Caused by QLocale infrastructure which looks at Info.plist inside the Python interpreter macOS bundle.
***Working on a hack fix after consulting Tor Arne and Eddy.
**Pacthelf removal - cross compilation breaks. Working on a fix.
**[https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/PYSIDE-2421 PYSIDE-2421] - QWebEngineView.print() - rerouted to Qt
***But, might requires an ownership fix in Shiboken once [https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-116052 QTBUG-116052] is resolved
**Research - use the .debug files provided by the Qt installer to debug from VSCode.
***Saves time from not building Qt everytime
***Still ongoing
**QtAsyncio: Implementation of asyncio.Server (one open question remains - asyncio API and Qt API don't always match as cleanly as desirable).


* Infra
===10. August 2023===

* Features
** [https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/PYSIDE-1019 PYSIDE-1019] property support ready for Python property.
** PYSIDE-1019 Property almost completely rewritten to pass the Python tests. Almost done.
** PYSIDE-1019 shiboken: It is also possible to have properties for projects not using the PySide2 extension
* Qt6 Port
** Still adapting API changes
* Extras
** PySide Property turned out to be quite incompatible with Python properties.
** Ready to implement static Property.
** We might get some QA related help for the whole project :)
** We will continue with  adding the command line options to the build/install steps


==== 24. September 2020 ====
*General
**
*Infra & Releases
**
*Bugs & Features
**Patchelf removal only partially possible because of using patchelf on prebuilt Qt binaries.

**[https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/PYSIDE-2404 PYSIDE-2404] Progress in Lazy Initialization
***the new dual registration is done and builds the base for concrete lazy init
***lazy init of Enums postponed because
***an undocumented optional __getattr__ in module objects makes it much easier to lazy-load whole classes, first.

    • Qt Meetups are starting to popup in Berlin and other countries! we might join some of them.
    • Discussions around improving the Qt Creator experience and UI creation in general.
    • There has been some motivation from Qt/C++ to use more CMake in projects (like for resources), which is negatively affecting the Python projects, due to the lack of CMake in the Python projects.
