Qt 5.6.2 release?...

agarny

Thanks @SGaist and my bad because I was aware of that mailing list. It's just that checking the archive for that mailing list, I looked for a subject that contained "5.6.2", but I can indeed see here the information you just mentioned. Ok, fingers crossed that 5.6.2 gets released sometime this week then (there is only one blocking issue at this stage; see here).

SGaist

The fix for this problem has been cherry picked in 5.6.2 and integrated.

agarny

Yes, I saw that, which actually makes me wonder why it's still listed as 'unresolved'. I guess I am missing something...

SGaist

Usually it boils down to the bug assignee not having updated it yet.

+1 here. Still waiting for Qt 5.6.2 release for about 3 weeks, but there is no update in both the releasing mailing archive and the wiki page: https://wiki.qt.io/Qt_5.6_Release

Will 5.6.2 be released really within this week? I am on the same boat as agarny - ready for deploying updated version of my application, but cannot deploy due to several bugs exist in Qt 5.6.1-1. If 5.6.2 cannot be released till this weekend, could you update the new planned date on the wiki page? Leaving the wiki page with outdated plan makes me feel Qt as a dead project, and it is not possible to decide whether wait more for 5.6.2 release or not... :(

SGaist

The 5.6.2 final packages are ready for testing.

Unless a blocker is found in between, it should be released during next week.

For more information, see here.

Indeed. Now, I am just hoping that nothing is going to delay the release even further. Fingers crossed! :)

Nice to hear that. I really appreciate all your efforts :D

For those who are not subscribed to the Releasing mailing list: Qt 5.6.2 is most probably going to be released today (see here).

Ok, I thought I would check for updates using Qt's Maintenance Tool and... Qt 5.6.2 is out! Yeah! :)
