  - TQtC is sponsoring PyCon DE
* Bugs & Features
** Few new type hints issues from 6.7.0 release, needs to be address on 6.7.1

* General
  - Fixed [https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/PYSIDE-1017 PYSIDE-1017], named parameters in added functions

** Qt 6.6.3 Library split broke our release, so we provided 6.6.3.1 as a fix.
  - Making progress in the embedded support story.
** Qt 6.7.0 also had an issue with a binary incompatibility change on QtAudio and QAudio
    - After trying the setup.py approach, there was a lot of modifications involve in our build process, so it was not considered a good option.
** Maybe we implement a simple channel of communicating this details, in order to avoid breakage [maybe architect meetings]
    - a CMake approach is currently being used, and shiboken generator and the python module are successfully cross-compiled, but still, there is work to do.
** Qt Creator 13 creates venvs automatically. This needs to be revisited to avoid multiple environments to be created.

  - PyInstaller maintainer still did not reply as promised on 2019-06-04 phone call.
* Infra & Releases
** 6.7.0 was released, we found a couple of issues we are trying to solve, and 6.7.1 will soon be released due to a binary compatibility break, and other small breakage.

*** the type discovery handler might be related as well
** Still working on the qml 825 bug issues.

  - The .pyc generation contradicts the Limited API and must be changed to
    use source code.
  - The code isolation must be made explicit and complete, so that installers
    ''don't recognize'' that there is something.
    Right now this was done in the wrong direction.
  Not much code and time necessary, just fixing ''the right'' bits.

** Configuring additional embedded devices for RTA
  - There was some issues in CI with 5.12 branch earlier this week and it was pretty much blocked. All issues should be solved now.

** Conferences: submissions to PyCon SK, PyCon DE, PyCon LT, PyCon US
- Some creativity to keep integrations going due to COIN issues
* Infra & Releases
- Investigation of PYSIDE-803 is ongoing. The issue needs deep analysis to isolate the problem.

** 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).

** Documentation updates to fix issues we had.

** 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

  • General
    • Configuring additional embedded devices for RTA
    • Focus on spending some time on embedded linux, in order to see usability, and compatibility with Boot2Qt images.
    • Conferences: submissions to PyCon SK, PyCon DE, PyCon LT, PyCon US
  • Infra & Releases
    • Decouple of the commercial wheels in order to have a finer granularity and simpler tree on the Qt Installer (Maintenance Tool)
    • Qt for Python 6.6.2 is waiting for Qt to be released (by the end of the month)
    • The next 5.15.13 LTS open source release will include a new fix for a missing symbol (PyIndex_Check)
    • New CI configuration without '--unity' for manual testing, to spot issues.
  • Bugs & Features
    • VS Code will use .flake8 (formerly setup.cfg) file for configuration once merged
    • 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.

    • 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
    • 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.
