In my previous company, different closed-sourced software, we had so called code freeze. For example it could be 1-2 weeks before actual release and ideally some users would have time to test the "release-candidate" of QGIS before going public.</div><div><br></div><div>From wikipedia:<br></div><div><ul style="margin:0.3em 0px 0px 1.6em;padding:0px;font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px"><li style="margin-bottom:0.1em">A <b>(complete) code freeze</b>, in which no changes whatsoever are permitted to a portion or the entirety of the program's source code. Particularly in large software systems, any change to the source code may have <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regression_bug" class="gmail-mw-redirect" title="Regression bug" style="color:rgb(11,0,128);text-decoration:none;background-image:none">unintended consequences</a>, potentially introducing new bugs; thus, a code freeze helps ensure that a portion of the program that is known to work correctly will continue to do so. Code freezes are often employed in the final stages of development, when a particular release or iteration is being tested, but may also be used to prevent changes to one portion of a program while another is undergoing development.</li></ul></div><div>Cheers,</div><div>Peter</div></div></div></div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Wed, Oct 31, 2018 at 6:32 AM Mathieu Pellerin <<a href="mailto:nirvn.asia@gmail.com">nirvn.asia@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div>That's rather unfortunate, but most probably needed.

like this... but in this case, <a href="https://issues.qgis.org/issues/20262" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://issues.qgis.org/issues/20262</a><br>
has totally destroyed QGIS network based providers with Qt 5.11 and<br>
above.<br>
<br>
This is not anyone's fault -- it's an upstream change in the Qt<br>
library which changed some behavior we relied on. Not there fault, not<br>
our fault. But end result is that it makes QGIS basically unusable for<br>
any non gdal/ogr layers on Qt >= 5.11. And unfortunately our major<br>
platforms only saw an upgrade to Qt 5.11 late in the bug fixing<br>
period, which made this one slow to be identified.<br>
<br>
<a href="https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/8383" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/8383</a> should fix it.<br>
<br>
Soo.... could we break the normal cycle and get a point release out<br>
quickly? (Ideally with a couple of days prenotice so that anyone else<br>
working on urgent bug fixes could get them in too)<br>
