Commercial release announcement: https://www.qt.io/blog/commercial-lts-qt-5.15.7-released
As usual I want to personally extend my gratitude to the Commercial users of Qt for beta testing Qt 5.15.7 for the rest of us.
The Commercial Qt 5.15.7 release introduced one bug that has later been fixed. Thanks to that, our Patchset Collection has been able to incorporate the revert for bug [1] and the Free Software users will never be affected by it!
This is the release schedule the release team agreed on

Dependency freeze is in TWO weeks (November 3) and feature freeze one after that.
Get your stuff ready!
As previously announced, Akademy 2022 will be happening in Barcelona at the beginning of October.
On top of that, Akademy-es [the Spain spin-off of Akademy] is also happening in Barcelona the days before (29 and 30 of September). So if you're interested in KDE and understand Spanish a bit, please drop by https://www.kde-espana.org/akademy-es-2022 and register yourself at https://www.kde-espana.org/akademy-es2022/registro.php
There's also a quite pretty t-shirt you can order but if you want it, you have to register BEFORE the end of the weekend if you want it!
Akademy is KDE's yearly community event, this year it happens between October 1st and October 7th in my city comarca [one of the reasons of why it's happening is that our Mr. President tricked me into helping organize it [*]]
You don't need to be a "KDE expert" to join, if you're remotely involved or interested in KDE you should really attend if you can (in person if possible, for me online really doesn't work for conferences), and not only the weekend of talks, but the whole week!
I still remember 2007 when our back-then-newbie Mr. President asked me "should I really go to Akademy? All the week? is it really worth it?" and i said "as many days as you can", and I guess we made a good enough impression to convince him to stay around and even want to do all the paper work that involves being in the KDE eV board :D
Anyhow, what i said, come to Akademy 2022! It's free, you'll learn a lot, meet nice people, will be both fun and productive.
And you should too! Register today!
[*] I should really work on my "no" skills, I'm still working on Okular because decades ago i said "how hard can it be" when someone asked to update KPDF to use a newer version of a dependency.
