Qt 5.5.0 Post Mortem: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 11:27, 30 June 2015

API Reviews & process
- There were lots of discussion & changes related to public APIs very late of releasing process. That needs to be improved for the future releases so that API reviews are done early enough & official header diff is just a final verification
Header diffs should be done earlier
- Perhaps we should do header reviews before the beta (as well as later) in order to catch problems early and avoid trying to address them in a rush.
Last minute issues detected in the binary installers
- We have a ChangeLog for the Qt modules, but not for the installers. Such a detailed list would help verifying the packages.

CI system instability
We should be able to release extra betas if there are blockers delaying a proper RC. There should never be more than a month between releases once the first beta is out.
