| * Octave 8.2.0 released
| | GSoC discussion |
| ** Release process went pretty smoothly.
| |
| ** If no specific extraordinary motivation, we won't need release candidates for future bug-fix releases.
| |
| ** @jwe will try to provide existing helper scripts and instructions for release process.
| |
| * Coding Community Events
| |
| ** OctConf 2023?
| |
| *** @jwe proposed to do that in the form of a developer summit for a couple of days.
| |
| *** @Rik offered to open a poll for dates/venue/... on the discourse forum.
| |
| *** Probably, at least 6 months lead time.
| |
| ** Online coding sprints?
| |
| *** Maybe in the form of a loose online meeting for the duration of a weekend?
| |
| *** @Rik offered to open a poll for dates/tools/... on the discourse forum.
| |
| * GSoC discussion
| |
| ** Process for evaluation of student applications has started.
| |
| ** Some promising candidates.
| |
| * Possible version 9 projects:
| |
| ** Qt6 (does that force us to require a C++17 compiler?)
| |
| *** Only enablement patches have landed so far. Further integration and bug fixes are still needed.
| |
| ** new terminal widget
| |
| ** <tt>arguments</tt> blocks
| |
| ** improved breakpoint handling
| |
| ** experimental stack-based virtual machine
| |
| ** <tt>MException</tt> object
| |
| ** <tt>string</tt> object (separate from having double-quoted characters create <tt>string</tt> objects)
| |
| ** HDF5-based <tt>save</tt> and <tt>load</tt> compatible with Matlab's file format
| |
| ** refactor <tt>octave_function</tt> and classes derived from it
| |
| ** broadcasting for <tt>sparse</tt>
| |
| ** make graphics and GUI event processing in the interpreter independent from readline
| |
| * Status of Octave Forge
| |
| ** should the Octave bug tracker continue to be used for reporting bugs in external packages?
| |
| *** Propose package maintainers to move to own trackers.
| |
| ** if not, how can we make it easy to find the location to report bugs for a package/package function? How do other systems like Python, R, etc., handle this problem?
| |
| * Some old bug reports have been closed recently - <b>thanks!</b><br>Current stats by year:

| |
|
| |
| * @jwe's server is now set up as a buildbot worker for buildbot.octave.space (Windows nightlies)
| |
| ** Worker needs to be started manually on reboot. Other than that it is working.
| |
| ** Upload is slow. Maybe, skip (building and) uploading the .zip archive. Installer and .7z archive are probably enough.
| |
|
| |
| * Octave 8.1 released
| |
| ** Does it make sense to make release candidates?
| |
| ** Release Octave 8.2.0 with a couple of urgent fixes (see below) probably soon.
| |
|
| |
| * Fix for issue with element-wise <code>|</code> and <code>&</code> in <code>if</code> conditions is already pushed to the stable branch.
| |
|
| |
| * Issues when writing to streams while converting output
| |
| ** @arungiridhar already pushed a fix for streams in binary mode to the stable branch.
| |
| ** Change default to "no conversion" (i.e., UTF-8) when opening streams with <code>fopen</code> without explicitly specifying an encoding. Matlab also defaults to UTF-8 in newer versions. And this might mitigate the encoding issue (at least with default settings).
| |
|
| |
| * Symbol visibility for Octave libraries causing issues for some Octave packages?
| |
| ** Change default to disable selective symbol visibility again.
| |
|
| |
| * Internal representation of character arrays in Octave
| |
| ** @jwe proposed to open a thread on Discourse if we'd like to discuss this.
| |
|
| |
| * GSoC 2023
| |
| ** Application period will start soon.
| |
|
| |
| * NumFOCUS
| |
| ** Go ahead with application (without waiting for feedback from FSF any longer).
