Previous topics

  • Timing for next bugfix release
  • GSoC projects
    • 8 applications
    • Selection the day after the meeting
  • OctConf 2024
  • Roadmap and priorities for Octave 10
  • Discuss a potential timeline for native string class support
    • Blocker: Inability to save classdef objects to files. Potentially realizable in incremental steps:
      • Implement a low-level HDF5 interface that is usable from .m code.
      • Implement saving double arrays in Matlab-compatible -v7.3 format in .m files.
      • Implement saving in that format for other types (including classdef).
  • Should we make and distribute nightly builds for Windows for the default branch?
    • Traffic from Digital Ocean limited to 4 TB. (Higher monthly rate if exceeded?)
    • Probably no additional nightly build configurations for now.
  • Octave in MSYS2 (binary distributor for Windows MinGW)
