Timing for next bugfix release (middle of April, approx. one month after the 9.1.0 release)
- bug #65476 (`mkoctfile -p LIBS` includes unnecessary libraries) Done
- Copyright dates for documentation, and possible MXE-Octave files out of date Done
- In the future, we'll likely aim for a .2.0 release around a month after the .1.0 release; a .3.0 around 3 month after the .1.0 release; and a .4.0 release about 6 months after the .1.0 release. If necessary, additional releases are possible in between or after these approximate dates, or some releases could be skipped.
Andreas Bertsatos will open a thread about extracting demos from classdef files [1]
OctConf 2024
- Agreed. Eastern North America likely. Rik will post a poll.
Roadmap and priorities for Octave 10
- Which important features to focus on for Octave 10?
- JWE will try to make MExceptions real classdef objects (not overloadable, fully implemented in C++)
- JWE will try to start a thread on Discourse about potential new features for Octave 10.
