There are 2 different types of additional libraries:

  • Additional libraries which are released with Qt release
  • Additional libraries which are released separately

Additional libraries which are delivered with Qt release

Additional libraries which are delivered with Qt release

  • Follows Qt release versioning
  • Follows Qt milestones, quality gates & release plan
    • Means new feature development must be ready at Qt Feature Freeze
    • Full CI must be in the use before FF
      • Means same targets with Qt release is used
    • Packages are in pre-releases (alpha, beta etc)

Additional libraries which are released separately

Additional libraries released separately

  • Must have its own version numbering scheme (to clearly indicate it isn't part of any Qt release)
  • Must have its own release plan and schedule
    • Can't disturb Qt release
    • Should have common pre-release milestones (FF, Alpha, Beta, RC) but in its own schedule
      • Release plan should be agreed with library maintainer & release team & documented in the Jira

Adding new additional library in Qt

  • It is maintainers responsibility to start discussion about adding a new additional library
  • Adding a new additional library starts from agreement if it will be part of Qt release or released separately (see definition above)
  • There should be a Jira task for every new additional library (Like QTBUG-90375)
    • This task should contain all needed tasks to be done
  • When additional library has a CI in use release team can start packaging tasks
    • Release team must be notified about that as soon as possible
