  • PYSIDE-813
    • we will keep PYSIDE-164 open until we find a solution that fixes both.
  • Starting to evaluate std::function compatibility with Shiboken.

5. March 2020

  • CI Update
    • Including Python 3.8
    • Maybe using alternatives to have many Python versions.
  • Priority bugs
    • PYSIDE-803
      • major changes in (caching)
      • still other minor patches to be merged.
      • allow-thread patch has a bug, maybe this can be detach from the snippets one.
    • PYSIDE-813
      • PYSIDE-164 appears again if we fix it,

    • Deprecation message or alias (when using QtWidgets.qApp)
  • PYSIDE-803
    • Missing patches to be merged
      • Python 2.7 issues
      • allow-thread commit message (add a changelog)
      • second caching mechanism to be studied after we merge the first set of patches.
      • Third attempt after the stackless gilstate approach
    • Documentation
  • Python 3.8 testing is still being worked out

20. February 2020

  • CI Updates
    • Cherry-picking some changes to 5.12 to fix the virtualenv 20 issues.
    • macOS timeouts
    • possibility of merging simple changes directly.
  • qApp issues
    • Patches ready for review
  • PYSIDE-803
    • Patches needs some polishing
  • Testrunner improvements
    • stdout/stderr issues with ctest on windows
    • smart pointers tests crashing, due to qApp issues.
    • Python 3.8 is also giving problems (DLLs missing)
    • debug builds on windows does not work.
  • Shiboken documentation being reorganized
  • Starting testing Python 3.9

13. February 2020

  • CI updates
    • Windows package signing will be possible, hopefully soon.
  • Documentation updates
    • Example gallery
    • WebChannel example merged,
  • Python 3.8 changes on Windows are still being tackled.
  • Bugs
    • PYSIDE-803 status: A patch waiting for review is there, but we need to combine it with the other solutions we currently have. Still, there are some corner cases where the problem is not properly solved.
    • qApp issues to be solved, but we will remove the import features. qApp will remain as a built-in.
  • OKRS 1Q/2020

  • Updates on PYSIDE-803 link
  • Suggestion about iterations a-la-python https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/PYSIDE-1216
  • Events
    • Qt World Summit 2020 Palm Springs
    • PyCon US

30. January 2020

  • 5.14.1 release rolling
  • Work on PYSIDE-1204
  • Work on PYSIDE-1191 PySide2 5.14 source now builds against Qt 5.12 as well
  • Further research on PYSIDE-803
    • full instrumentation of generated source for tracing,
    • discovery of new hooks to support. Still in flux.
  • Fixed some issues of Python 3.8 (most prominently warnings about implicit conversion to integers for QFlags), will be fixed in 5.14.2
  • qApp macro PYSIDE-1178 PYSIDE-1158 PYSIDE-1135 finally closed. One cleanup check in may follow.

23. January 2020

  • Fix for CI/macOS problem is in, but it requires some merges in Qt5. Until all required merges are done, we will use Qt5 5.14.1 with Qt For Python 5.14
  • Research on PYSIDE-803
  • Proposed an "until" attribute for typesystem files to make it possible to build Pyside 5.14 against Qt 5.12 PYSIDE-1195
  • Improved the view of compare app for PYSIDE-803
  • Analysis of PyQt5 and SIP implementation

16. January 2020
