[09:03] <estan> hi all. anyone know what is likely going to be the Qt version for 20.04? i know it's currently 5.12 LTS, but is it possible it'll be a later version for the final release? (5.14?)
[09:04] <mitya57> estan: It is possible. We are still discussing that.
[09:05] <estan> alright. thanks mitya57.
[09:06] <estan> mitya57: are the discussions public or internal?
[09:07] <mitya57> This was three days ago on this channel :)
[09:07] <estan> :)
[09:08] <mitya57> But Qt is mostly packaged my me, and I have problems with free time, so don't expect any updates until either 5.14.1 or 5.12.7 is released.
[09:09] <estan> i see, very understandable.
[09:09] <estan> great work btw.
[09:10] <estan> you have one developer who would be a happy camper seeing 5.14.x in 20.04 here at least :p
[09:10] <RikMills> I would say for 5.14 we have to at least be able to get 5.14.2 in. There is no schedule from Qt yet on that.
[09:11] <mitya57> If we manage to get 5.14.1 in before feature freeze, then updating to 5.14.2 will be easier.
[09:11] <RikMills> I would like 5.14 so we can support things like newer plasma backports for longer
[09:14] <RikMills> 20.04 will have plasma 5.18 LTS, and I would not be surprised if plasma >= 5.19 bumps the required Qt version to newer than 5.12
[09:15] <mitya57> Ack
[09:16] <RikMills> mitya57: yeah, but while Qt are being quite vague about schedules, saying things like point release will be 'one to 2 months later' I wonder if 5.14.2 would fall before final freeze
[09:16] <RikMills> or there is a chance it might
[09:17] <RikMills> we shall have to see in the new year if things are clearer
[09:17] <mitya57> Right, let's return to this in January
[09:18] <RikMills> yes, I was repeating mostly for estan's benefit
[09:20] <estan> thanks guys. i'll just sit tight.
[09:27] <estan> (also found your previous discussion at https://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2019/12/12/%23ubuntu-qt.html , should have checked before asking but the logs are not searchable so it's a bit of clicking :p)
[09:31] <estan> i see the next Qt release team irc meeting is jan 7 btw. maybe then they'll have a preliminary date for 5.14.1.
