** Apple Silicon CI to be ready soon
** Windows CI machines slowness to be addressed
** To enable Python 3.10 in a CI configuration
** Research about adding PyPy as a CI configuration
* Bugs

** Standard containers
** Properly handling sets between C++ and Python
** Adding new QML references examples and new Decorators (still in research)
** Planning restructuring of libpyside to not be qml dependant
** PyPy, finding new things and discuss with the team.
*** Improved the pending failing test by fixing a issue on PyCFunction (around ~7X to go)


* General
** Python 3.9 story: the decision was made without considering that 3.9 is still getting security releases, so we have decided to keep supporting Python 3.9 for PySide 6.8 LTS, but we might drop it in the middle of some bug-fix releases.
*** Things that are considered to support certain python versions are: Internal CI Python versions for each OS, Python version lifecycle https://devguide.python.org/versions/, features that will improve user experience from new versions.
*** Python stubs (pyi) might be compatible with 3.10+
** Qt Group is sponsoring EuroPython 2024: and we will give a talk!
* Infra & Releases
** 6.7.2 packages are ready to be released.
** Boot2Qt had a few issues that were solved.
** Starting process to test windows arm64 (discussion around libclang)
** Nightly builds:
*** Possible solution for linux and macOS arm64 android builds.
*** Maybe also for non-unity builds? it has been failing in some corner cases.
*** We could have dev-android branch so we don't block the normal dev development.
*** nightly builds merge automatically if everything passes.
*** PyPy integrations might join a similar configuration as well.
* Bugs & Features
** Android wheels from macOS host through coin successful. Assembling the final patch. Coin still running tests for an Android build and error-ing still needs to be resolved.
** [https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/PYSIDE-2702 PYSIDE-2702] - Flatpak base app implementation started.
** [https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/PYSIDE-2781 PYSIDE-2781] - pyside6-deploy failure investigation ongoing. Could be a Nuitka issue. User using the latest Nuitka.
** Working on improve our typing implementations.
** QtAsyncio: internal presentation including the theory behind and some live examples.
** Lazy load: disabled for PyPy, fixing some shiboken-tests
** QtScrypt: development continues
** [https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/PYSIDE-2780 PYSIDE-2780] refcount bug in the lazy import fixed

Revision as of 09:45, 13 June 2024


2024

13. June 2024

  • General
    • Python 3.9 story: the decision was made without considering that 3.9 is still getting security releases, so we have decided to keep supporting Python 3.9 for PySide 6.8 LTS, but we might drop it in the middle of some bug-fix releases.
      • Things that are considered to support certain python versions are: Internal CI Python versions for each OS, Python version lifecycle https://devguide.python.org/versions/, features that will improve user experience from new versions.
      • Python stubs (pyi) might be compatible with 3.10+
    • Qt Group is sponsoring EuroPython 2024: and we will give a talk!
  • Infra & Releases
    • 6.7.2 packages are ready to be released.
    • Boot2Qt had a few issues that were solved.
    • Starting process to test windows arm64 (discussion around libclang)
    • Nightly builds:
      • Possible solution for linux and macOS arm64 android builds.
      • Maybe also for non-unity builds? it has been failing in some corner cases.
      • We could have dev-android branch so we don't block the normal dev development.
      • nightly builds merge automatically if everything passes.
      • PyPy integrations might join a similar configuration as well.
  • Bugs & Features
    • Android wheels from macOS host through coin successful. Assembling the final patch. Coin still running tests for an Android build and error-ing still needs to be resolved.
    • PYSIDE-2702 - Flatpak base app implementation started.
    • PYSIDE-2781 - pyside6-deploy failure investigation ongoing. Could be a Nuitka issue. User using the latest Nuitka.
    • Working on improve our typing implementations.

1. February 2024

  • General
    • Interest from KDE to enable flatpak packages (maybe base pyside app).
    • Discussion on adding more tutorials of specific functionality.
    • CI Maintenance Break next Monday (first Monday of each month)
  • Infra & Releases
    • no unity build discussion and checks
    • 6.6.2 to be released next week.
    • More granularity on the commercial wheels: shiboken wizard wheel.
  • Bugs & Features
    • singleShot timer implementation (to use underlying c++ impl) - still an issue with a context object, and a signal as a functor. A new QObject::connect might handle the situation. More changes to come in order to fix newly discovered issues.
    • Android: using the master branch on python-for-android, and other changes related for macOS deployment.
    • PYSIDE-2597 optimization for the deployment procedure
    • Lazy initialization: works continues, and it's looking good. 13 bugs to go on lazy mode. The new implementation seems to be working better.
    • 6.7 adaptation still in progress (many changes from Qt)
    • General documentation adjustments
    • Improvements on shiboken: better error messages
    • Qt Namespaces compatibility attempts.
    • Moving away from a couple of setup.py options towards pyproject.toml after upgrading 'build' to 1.0.x
    • Design Studio compatibility wheel work continues


25. January 2024

  • General
    • Configuring additional embedded devices for RTA
    • Focus on spending some time on embedded linux, in order to see usability, and compatibility with Boot2Qt images.
    • Conferences: submissions to PyCon SK, PyCon DE, PyCon LT, PyCon US
  • Infra & Releases
    • Decouple of the commercial wheels in order to have a finer granularity and simpler tree on the Qt Installer (Maintenance Tool)

  • Bugs & Features
    • VS Code will use .flake8 (formerly setup.cfg) file for configuration once merged
    • PYSIDE-2575: Added a new argument to QtAsyncio to configure whether the QCoreApplication at the core of QtAsyncio should be shut down when asyncio finishes (requested by user).
    • SingleShot timer issue: Slight "complexity explosion" because correct implementation for one case requires implementation of QObject.connect overload with context arguments (and we implement QObject.connect ourselves, see PySide::qobjectConnectCallback).
    • Scripting: code simplification, and massage it to a Qt module.
    • Documentation updates to fix issues we had.
    • Unity build some issues when building without.
    • 6.7 updates, adapting some warning messages
    • QTBUG-99313 related issues

    • Android wheels provisioning and configuration in order to generate the base-wheels.
    • armv7 complications due to an upstream find_python command.
    • Lazy initialization: re-wrote approach from scratch, to reduce the patches to one that can be analyzed easily. Some complications with this approach that needs to be improve. It can be tried with https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/pyside/pyside-setup/+/496118
    • Moving entry_points declaration to pyproject.toml from setup.py
    • Drop the bdist_wheel steps from the CI (old wheels)
