Hi everyone, a quick follow-up:
* Pending Action Items:
+ run the certification script (Kendy)
+ make Qt5 backend experimental (Jmux)
Just talked to jmux on IRC. Since making qt5 experimental doesn't work easily (s. Jan-Marek's email [1]), the suggestion is to just keep it as is, i.e. qt5 is never used by default, but people can select it by setting the SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=qt5 environment variable (and set SAL_VCL_QT5_USE_CAIRO in addition to get Cairo rendering). This is the third option from the 3 Jan-Marek suggested:
IMHO that leaves us with: 1. don't allow to load the qt5 plugin in 6.2 at all 2. switch qt5 to cairo in 6.2 only 3. cope with the eventual bug fallout, when 6.2 becomes still (which I think won't be large, but who knows)
