The KDE Qt5 Patch Collection has been rebased on top of Qt 5.15.9

Commercial release announcement: https://www.qt.io/blog/commercial-lts-qt-5.15.9-released

OpenSource release announcement: https://lists.qt-project.org/pipermail/announce/2023-April/000406.html

 

As usual I want to personally extend my gratitude to the Commercial users of Qt for beta testing Qt 5.15.9 for the rest of us.

 

The Commercial Qt 5.15.9 release introduced one bug that have later been fixed. Thanks to that, our Patchset Collection has been able to incorporate the fix for the issue [1] and the Free Software users will never be affected by it! 

 

P.S: Special shout-out to Andreas Sturmlechner for identifying the fix of the issue, since I usually only pay attention to "Revert XYZ" commits and this one is not a revert but subsequent improvement

Donate to KDE with a 10% power up! (1-week-offer)

Hopefully by now, you know that in KDE we are running an End of Year Fundraising campaign.

If you didn't, now you know :)

The campaign has already raised around 16 thousand euros, but there's still a bit to go to the minimum goal of 20 thousand.

So let's spice things up a little, I will donate 10% of every donation you make, you donate 1€, I will donate 0.1€, you donate 100€ I will donate 10€, etc.

I'm placing my maximum total donation amount at (20000-16211.98)/11 = 344.37€, that is if you all donate 3443.7€ (or more), I will donate 344.37€ and we'll reach the 20K goal.

How is this going to work? 

I will make my donation on the 31st of December (just one donation, to save up on fees).

For your donation to be included in my matching donation you need to send me an email to aacid@kde.org with your name/email and put in copy (CC) the KDE e.V. board kde-ev-board@kde.org so they can confirm your donation.

Only donations between now (23rd of December around 18:00 CET) and 31st of December will be considered.
