** Currently working on a QtQuick Finance-Manager tutorial using PySide6 as frontend, and FastApi + Pydantic + SqlAlchemy as backend. This will be a 4 part tutorial with each part extending the previous one.  
*** Some issues with the qt libraries, duplicate symbols.
** [https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/PYSIDE-2846 PYSIDE-2846] - towards MyPy testing of type hints

*** Good progress in different error categories. Crucial was to make defaults hashable.
** CMake discussion to enable Qt Bridges from the PySide build system.
*** First removal of duplications was quite effective. More difficult removals are "same type, different variable name" etc.
*** The problem is our current build structure, where we build shiboken first and then pyside patching paths.
*** Overlapping signatures need a deep analysis. From 601 errors down to 294.
*** We might introduce an option to enable this configuration.

** We will work on being more compatible with uv (shiboken issue finding dlls)
*** LZMA compression moved to ZLIB and C++. Compression on Windows 8.7 %, macOS 4.7 %
** iOS research: managed to cross compile the project, but there seems to be an issue still when trying to use it from XCode side of things. We might need to try the setup.py approach rather than CMake.
*** Study of pybind11/nanobind continues.
** API deprecations that needs to be handle: missing functions on the typesystem and in some test cases. QtXml (QDomDocument) missing new function needs to be added as well (overload issue). Some works needs to be done in the examples as well.
*** Overlap with PYSIDE-2404: Startup time optimization of ZLIB compression almost ready.
** Thoughts on limiting the disable gil solution that we have at the moment. There has been a lot of crashes and issues by implementing our own locking mechanism.
** Finding some use-cases from PySide users during EuroPython.
** QtAsyncIO has been brought up in some community discussions, so we might work more on this. There are many NotImplemented issues around, that would be good to have.
** Flatpak recipes are ready to be tested, meaning projects relying on flatpak (like KDE) will be able to use PySide in their builds :D
** Qt Python Scripting: Aiming for 6.11, and to find a place to distribute it. Due to the limitation of virtual functions, it's mostly about doing a bit of scripting on top of the Qt/C++ applications. Does it justify it to be a new Qt module? maybe we could use Qt solutions. We need another person to check the API, to have a second opinion.
** macOS multimedia missing plugins.
*** There are some ideas of virtual-function override from pybind11, but then we would require shiboken ownership mechanisms, that will increase dependencies (and size)
** QtWebView might be added for completeness.
*** Release process of qt-modules is strict.
** Feedback from EuroPython: More tutorials, and examples with applied cases, rather than too basic or too advanced ones.
** PYSIDE-2193 variance in QML Properties. QVariant/PyObjects issues were found and fixed.
** Got interest of doing RTA internally, that's generating more reports.
** CMake relocation files shipping that are not being included anymore (headers or cmake files), but got required by Qt Bridges.
** New cmake variables are being required for Qt Bridges.
** Message handler changes are still pending for CI issues.

    • We will work on being more compatible with uv (shiboken issue finding dlls)
    • iOS research: managed to cross compile the project, but there seems to be an issue still when trying to use it from XCode side of things. We might need to try the setup.py approach rather than CMake.
    • API deprecations that needs to be handle: missing functions on the typesystem and in some test cases. QtXml (QDomDocument) missing new function needs to be added as well (overload issue). Some works needs to be done in the examples as well.
    • Thoughts on limiting the disable gil solution that we have at the moment. There has been a lot of crashes and issues by implementing our own locking mechanism.
    • QtAsyncIO has been brought up in some community discussions, so we might work more on this. There are many NotImplemented issues around, that would be good to have.
    • Qt Python Scripting: Aiming for 6.11, and to find a place to distribute it. Due to the limitation of virtual functions, it's mostly about doing a bit of scripting on top of the Qt/C++ applications. Does it justify it to be a new Qt module? maybe we could use Qt solutions. We need another person to check the API, to have a second opinion.
      • There are some ideas of virtual-function override from pybind11, but then we would require shiboken ownership mechanisms, that will increase dependencies (and size)
      • Release process of qt-modules is strict.
    • PYSIDE-2193 variance in QML Properties. QVariant/PyObjects issues were found and fixed.
