- Important things we should discuss:
  - PySide2 versioning
    - Do official releases follow Qt branch names?
    - Will we have snapshots, and if so, will they be uploaded to pip? How will we handle snapshot versions?
    - alpha / beta / RC versioning?
    - Probably need to take into account PEPs for versions pushed to Pypi.
    - Shiboken / PySide2 versions in sync?
    - Will we specify a version for 5.6 branch?
    - Are we sticking to the package name PySide2, but follow Qt 5.x versions as PySide2 versions?
  - Do we want to deploy msvcrt dlls into Windows packages?
  - Do we want to ship debug symbols for Qt inside the PySide2 packages?
    - If so, can we rename the either the shiboken executable or module name on Windows, so can actually ship two .pdb files that don't override each other?
  - Do we want to ship debug Qt shared libraries for macOS packages? (not possible on Windows, not applicable on Linux afaik).
  - How will the pip upload process look like? Manual uploads? Who takes care of it?

** Permission API issue failing on the release framework. QtLocation problems were addressed.
  -> do we need commercial for release
** QtAsyncio blog post was published.
- pysinstaller is an installer
** Definition of done for QtAsyncio story, some functions will be implemented, but other ones (until reaching the whole set of user facing API) will be implemented in the future.
    -> deployqt tool not necessary
** Lazy initialization of numpy support in PySide, to improve the general lazy loading effort.
    -> documentation required stating the option
** Starting documenting pyside6-* tools
- rename import options
** PYSIDE-2610 Qt3D issues

- Preparing to add Qt3D
- Removed flaky test
- further research on how pip wheels might be used for Pyside
  - seems to work well on win & macOS
  - problems on Linux related to libICU (or in general due to different system libraries)
- implemented and tested --standalone feature for the main Qt platforms [https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/PYSIDE-558 PYSIDE-558]
- open question remains how 3rdparty Pyside deployment path might look like
- [https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/PYSIDE-510 PYSIDE-510]


==== 9. November 2017 ====
===25. January 2024===
- Work on simplifying the build system, made it possible to specify a module subset to build
- [https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/PYSIDE-558 PYSIDE-558] Fixing rpaths and making --standalone work on the 3 platforms. Result: Self-contained binary wheels. Needs Review.
- Trying to setup the project for building the docs. I managed to build the rsts from the patch in gerrit but running sphinx on those rsts results in errors about python 2 style code.
- [https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/PYSIDE-510 PYSIDE-510] work continued


==== 2. November 2017 ====
* General
- Releasing:
** Configuring additional embedded devices for RTA
  - continued work on macOS installer
** Focus on spending some time on embedded linux, in order to see usability, and compatibility with Boot2Qt images.
  - binaries must be patched during the install from repo (rpath setting)
** Conferences: submissions to PyCon SK, PyCon DE, PyCon LT, PyCon US
  - adopting the scripts from Qt for Pyside
* Infra & Releases
  - made pip install work on Mac -> would be alternative to online installer approach
** Decouple of the commercial wheels in order to have a finer granularity and simpler tree on the Qt Installer (Maintenance Tool)
      - two deployment choices available
** Qt for Python 6.6.2 is waiting for Qt to be released (by the end of the month)
- discussions on how void* pointer should be handled, two options on the table
** The next 5.15.13 LTS open source release will include a new fix for a missing symbol (PyIndex_Check)
  - add additional Pyside module handling such pointers
** New CI configuration without '--unity' for manual testing, to spot issues.
  - add feature to shiboken to transparently add the support to any arbitrary C++/pyside project using shiboken
* Bugs & Features
- documentation snapshot generated
** VS Code will use .flake8 (formerly setup.cfg) file for configuration once merged
- simplified setup-pyside and related build script options
** 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
** macOS permissions: made an example to work (for deployed apps) - patches incoming
** 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
*** https://peps.python.org/pep-0690/ was rejected, but the idea can be implemented per-module
** Moving entry_points declaration to pyproject.toml from setup.py
** Drop the bdist_wheel steps from the CI (old wheels)
** Started working on split commercial wheels, wheels for QtDS and examples on QtCreator.

==2022==
- Coin
  - 5.6 testing is back online (5.9 target unblocking pending a merge)
  - Packaging of Pyside started to become a discussion topic
      - Standard PIP deployment
      - Separate delivery via the usual Qt account channel
- void* support has a pending patch (https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/205124/ and related example https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/205272/)
- Documentation work ongoing
  - WebXML support was added to qdoc - see [https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/PYSIDE-363 PYSIDE-363]

- Pyside CI broken (timeout for tests is zero)
  - Pyside provisioning scripts are very fragile
  - Qt's own  provisioning is interfering when e.g. Pyside relevant tools get changed by Qt
  - new ideas and redesign is likely to be needed
- New Bindings: QRegularExpression, QVersionNumber, QUuid,
- Discussions around Documentation for pyside
  - couple of options for generation pipeline
    1.) qdoc generates WebXML -> Shiboken converts WebXML to ReST (used to work in Qt 4 days)
    2.) qdoc is lib which creates AST - > shiboken uses the AST to generate ReST
    3.) \pyside to document python classes (lots of documentation effort and not ReST integratable)
    4.) minimalistic approach is to merely link to the Qt object class reference (python specific docs are somewhat separate
- [https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/PYSIDE-516 PYSIDE-516] further investigation how to deal with void* APIs

  - Windows (32bit) and mac are building, Win 64bit still not building
  - OSX and Windows are stopping in the test runner phase
  - missing cmake update still on Linux (provisioning update required)
 
==== 26 January 2017 ====
- PYSIDE-315
  - principle fix merged but some minor improvements still pending
- Pyside-462
  - essentially a feature request as C++ default parameters are not yet supported by Pyside
  - discussion ongoing how to address the problem
- COIN
  - 10.11, 10.9 & 10.8 build passes
  - 10.10 still failing during build
  - Progress on Windows and running into new problems further down the path
  - Redhat failed to general brokenness of the platform in CI
  - Ubuntu no further progress
- clang parser work progressing
  - completeness of work is currently measured by passing unit tests
  - there is a long way to go
  - see [https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/PYSIDE-323 PYSIDE-323] and associated patches for progress monitoring
- Fixed regression which prevented Pyside to compile with Qt 5.5.1
- shared pointer support
- no update on 2nd February 2017 (next week)
 
==== 19 January 2017 ====
- PYSIDE-315
  - a possible fix is pending, some minor performance improvements are still possible
  - caused by different signal/slot ordering in Qt4 and Qt 5
- COIN
  - issues on 10.8 and 10.9 platforms should pass now
  - 10.11 & 10.10 still have issues
  - Windows timeout problem fix in COIN (but no COIN update until 5.8.0 released)
  - Linux builds are failing
    - Ubuntu 14.04 fails due to cmake issue
    - Redhat 6.6 & OpenSuse 13.01 deferred
  - current COIN freeze for 5.8.0 release affecting patching of COIN for Pyside
  - next steps in priority -> run tests on 10.8/10.9 and get Linux running
- PYSIDE-79 regression fixed as well (some interaction between PYSIDE-315 & PYSIDE-79)
- PYSIDE-462 to be looked at next
- clang parser work progressing
 
==== 12 January 2017 ====
- PYSIDE-315
  - sorting of slots/signal connection changed on Qt side and Pyside side has not caught up
  - had similar connection issues on the QML side, need to investigate whether there is a connection
- PYSIDE-79
  - caused a regressions (not yet investigated)
- fixed OpenGL types not being recognized on MacOS (partly fixed)
- API's with shared/smart pointers in Qt don't work
  - has potential long term effects and investigation has started into the reasons
- Refactoring shiboken in preparation for clang
- COIN currently runs tests with namespaced Qt
  - short term fix to exclude namespaced Qt builds with Pyside (broken on MacOS 10.9)
  - other failures: missing libraries on MacOS (10.11), missing provisioning on Windows, cmake issues on 10.10
  - unknown state on Linux (current Redhat too old)
- Prioritization after status round:
  - PYSIDE-315 to be investigated based on recent signal/slot patches for QML
  - Smart pointer issues reduced in priority to provide space for PYSIDE-315 & PYSIDE-79 regression
- verify that COIN runs testrunner (not just building Pyside)
  -> not yet verified since we are still failing builds in COIN
 
==== 5 January 2017 ====
- COIN update
  - COIN changes merged (no further patches pending)
  - need to run an integration test
  - issues related to different build platforms still to be expected
- Continue with clang
  - backtracking a bit (reusing some node API's during parsing but otherwise use clang to populate the tree)
- test blacklisting reviewed (some removed - mostly signal related ones, one new regression)
- regressions in QtQuick were worked around (caused by recent Qt Quick changes)
- issues with macos framework style includes in Qt
- PYSIDE-315 debugging ongoing, very hard to track down
    - was it a regression from a previous Pyside release (e.g. Qt 5.4?!?
- hard-copied Qt 5.4 based headers still in existence
  - updated needed but would shut Qt 5.4 users out

    • 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.
