Online Developer Meeting (2021-06-22): Difference between revisions

** If nothing big shows up, go ahead with the release in about 10 days (early July).

* OctConf?

** Instead of an in-person conference, meet up virtually.

** Ideas for code-sprint?

*** Improve test coverage

*** That could include automated tests for GUI features ("expect", Qt test classes, set <code>OCTAVE_SHOW_GUI_MESSAGES</code> to 1 to display signals with missing connections, ...). Does anyone have experience with this?

* GUI

** Make widgets more modular

*** remove connections to parents (or parents of parents,...)

*** Only pass settings objects (instead of base qwidget) to widgets?

** Add widgets for:

*** displaying call stack. Select function in stack for appropriate <code>dbup</code> or <code>dbdown</code> command.

*** displaying result to an expression. Similar to debugger (watcher, ...)

** User expectations for evaluation code from the editor ("Evaluate selection") or the variable editor ("plot") while there is still pending input on the command line?

* Breakpoints

** Add feature to temporarily disable breakpoints

** Check syntax for breakpoints in subfunctions, local functions, private functions, methods, ... (<code>dbstatus</code>)

* <code>gsd</code>

** Current version is not Matlab-compatible nor correct in some circumstances.

** Rik is currently implementing a replacement.

* IRC channel on Freenode is down

** Replacement on libera?

** jwe will probably post something on discourse.
