after a productive summer, development has slowed considerably with both brian and me now under other full-time obligations. consequently, 3.10 is starting to drag on, and we’re all feeling some burnout. it’s not a really desperate situation — it’s just part of the natural ebb and flow of a smallish volunteer project, and that’s fine. it’s all fine. no sweat.
in the interest of pushing the release forward, i’m suggesting that we move forward with a somewhat buggy 3.10 and label the following as “known issues”. they are important and legitimate problems, but they’re medium sized projects, and medium-sized is too big for the developer resources we have right now:
- KDE FileDialog hangup
- Making QtWebEngine optional
- UnitTesting quark/core conflicts
fortunately these affect only some users and/or have workarounds, so not catastrophic to release with these unaddressed.
i’ve looked at these three issues and consider them important and relatively easy to address:
so once these are taken care of, i’m down to release rc1.
