Create new release

[ufechner7]

The main branch works with Julia 1.9.2, the tests pass, so please create a new release. The tests fail for Julia 1.9.2 using the last release (0.7.1).

@barche The current release segfaults.

Why would you release a version, that doesn't pass the tests in the first place?

And why would you fix this issue, forget to release a fixed version, and then ignore an open issue about that for a month?

Can we help you with anything?

Thanks a lot 👍🏻

[ufechner7]

Well, the main branch works fine on Ubuntu 22.04:

/home/ufechner/.julia/packages/QML/dFnTL/test
     Testing QML tests passed 

(QML) pkg> st
Status `~/repos/QML/Project.toml`
  [2db162a6] QML v0.7.1 `https://github.com/barche/QML.jl.git#main`

using Julia 1.9.3.

I would create a new release that works on Linux even if it does not work on Windows yet and rather fix that later...

[ufechner7]

Justed tested QML#main on Windows, this also works, there is only a warning that the cleanup at the end fails due to a locked resource.

[barche]

Thanks for the tests! The delay was mainly because threaded rendering still doesn't work, but it's proving harder to debug than I thought, so I will go ahead with the release without this, after releasing CxxWrap 0.14 first and moving QML to the JuliaGraphics org.

[ufechner7]

Sounds great, thanks a lot!

For the future we can perhaps have an issue with a checklist of open items that should be fixed before a new release.

[ShalokShalom]

Some projects use labels for this. In case that makes sense, we could introduce universal patterns to do this, for the whole Julia Graphics project. So like:

https://docs.github.com/en/issues/using-labels-and-milestones-to-track-work/managing-labels#creating-a-label

[ufechner7]

Waiting for https://github.com/JuliaInterop/CxxWrap.jl/issues/369 to be resolved...

[barche]

I think https://github.com/JuliaInterop/libcxxwrap-julia/pull/132 will fix the problem with CxxWrap.

[ufechner7]

CxxWrap 0.14 is released. So creating a new release of QML should be possible now.

Adding a todo list so you don't keep wondering ;)

• [x] Change license to MIT
• [x] Small change in qputenv for Qt 6.5 compatibility
• [x] Move to JuliaGraphics
• [x] Investigate some Wayland issues
• [x] Bump Yggdrasil to Qt 6.5.2

[barche]

It PR #170 works out then this should soon be done.

[barche]

Sorry but I added one more task, it seems a shame to finally release this based on an old Qt when 6.5 came out in the mean time and is LTS. I expect this to take 2 days max.

[ShalokShalom]

I would invite you, to then announce it on the forums, if you want. 😃 A big release reveal, and the move to JuliaGraphics. 👍🏻 🎉

[barche]

Final test is running now on PR #170, if that checks out I think we're ready for release.

[ufechner7]

@barche Any update on this? Fix the test failure and make a new release, or ignore the test failure and make a release as you suggested in the PR ?
