Upcoming maintenance break on the Qt Forums Monday 8.2.2016

tekojo

Hello,

We will have a maintenance break on the Qt Forums early Monday morning 8.2.2016, starting around 7.00 CET.
The target of the break is to do a major version update and do some cleaning of the database at the same time.

The break will last an estimated three hours, so we should be back online at aroung 10.00 CET. We'll be updating the status on twitter as we get things done.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Good luck with it
May the source be with you

@mrjj thanks :)
Should be routine, and if something happens, we just put the current version back and retry later.

@tekojo
well updates can be nasty :)
Please do not forget to put back the code tag button if it falls off :)

major version update

It sounds so serious. Does it offer new features?

@mrjj
Well, we jump from the 0.7 branch to 0.9. Not serious but having skipped one release it's a bit more work.
Most benefits are in the back end, some small things to the users.
Also we are preparing for the 1.0 branch, which will have more user facing features too :)

On the road to 1.0
I think many of us here -have tried that a few times :)
