* Bugs & Features
**Deployment story continues, and things are looking good for Android :O
** 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.

** Documentation updates to fix issues we had.

*** https://peps.python.org/pep-0690/ was rejected, but the idea can be implemented per-module

    • 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).
