* Releases
** 5.15.0 and 5.14.2.2 were released :) https://www.qt.io/blog/qt-for-python-5.15.0-is-out
** Thoughts about 5.14.2.3
** 5.15.1 release is still not defined
* Documentation
* CI Status
** The limited-api check was somehow bypass by one specific patch https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/pyside/pyside-setup/+/298845 We need to keep an eye to avoid this in the future.
* Backlog status [https://bugreports.qt.io/secure/RapidBoard.jspa?rapidView=262&view=planning.nodetail&selectedIssue=PYSIDE-463&issueLimit=100 check it here]
* QML Integration update
** We are working on finishing the implementation of Q_ENUM, to be able to use the singletonType registration
** Additionally, we are looking into the uncreatableType registration too.
* Development branch for Qt6
** We need the following before jumping into dev.
*** QList/QVector
*** QString -> integrated (clarity)

==== 21. May 2020 ====
* [https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/PYSIDE-1185 PYSIDE-803] needs to be tackled soon, it's critical, and we cannot carry that into Qt6.
* '''Holiday'''
* Python 3.8.1 on Windows has [https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/pyside/pyside-setup/+/285797/ some issues].
* qApp macro changes [https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/pyside/pyside-setup/+/285655 discussion].
* documentation updates
* with the release of 5.14 we have been fixing many details from uic's Python support.
* designer's RUNPATH [https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/pyside/pyside-setup/+/285712 needed to be patched], waiting for approval,
* A modular way of packing wheels is being studied.

==== 14. May 2020 ====


==== 19. December 2019 ====
* CI Updates
- Python 3.8.1 is out, which simplifies certain issues.
** CI blocked due to some provisioning issues in red hat
- The missing COIN variable QTEST_ENVIRONMENT=ci was restored. The impact on PySide was fortunately only two missing functions.
** 5.14.2.2 Release is on hold
- PYSIDE-1158 "qApp: None != None" will probably be documented only. Change is hard and not worth the effort.
** 5.15 commercial release in preparation
- PYSIDE-1135 "embedded QApplication subclass" fix was confirmed to work correctly and will be checked in.
** License check
- PYSIDE-1079 clarified. "Missing signal" support not really possible: They have no signatures.
* 5.15 Release
- PYSIDE-939 continued effort explaining the needed inversion.
** Pickling changes
** Examples
** loadUiType
* Tutorials rcc, designer
** Add project's tutorial.
* Continue research of using Qt6
* __qualname__ attributes are almost done
