* Octave 7.2 has been released | |||
* VM activities: | |||
** Configure switches to enable/disable compiling the VM have been added. | |||
** No actual VM code has been pushed so far. It needs to be rebased on a (more) current head. | |||
* Transition to Fosshost: | |||
** The buildbot server has been moved from the Digital Ocean server to Fosshost. The Digital Ocean server will be retired. | |||
** The new buildbot server URL is [https://buildbot.octave.org https://buildbot.octave.org] (without explicitly specifying a port). Documentation still referring to the URL with the port number might need to be updated. | |||
** The Fosshost server is periodically mirrored to the Dreamhost server. This is likely to stay that way unless someone complains. | |||
* shadowing of core functions from statistics package | |||
** Packages should try to avoid shadowing core functions as far as possible. | |||
** As a "compromise" to make newer features available to older Octave versions, packages could conditionally shadow core functions depending on version numbers. See, e.g., [https://octave.discourse.group/t/new-maintainer-for-the-statistics-package/2791/83?u=mmuetzel] for a possible approach. | |||
* GSoC activities | |||
** Haven't been discussed. | |||
