Revision as of 18:12, 7 July 2020

We should create a first release candidate (RC) Octave 6.0.90 soon. Base for discussing and working on further bug findings.
- Update gnulib before RC
- Tag some cset on stable.
- Build MS Windows binaries.
- Upload to https://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/octave/ .

Try to tackle bugs with debuggers
- valgrind slow
- -fsanitize=thread in memory and faster

Before Octave 6.1.0 release, discharge MS Windows 10 Malware Detection Systems (e.g. upload to https://www.virustotal.com/)

Discourse for GNU Octave
- Replacement for mailing-lists (help@octave.org and maintainers@octave.org) and https://planet.octave.org
  - TODO: Advertise on Octave homepage and announce on mailing-lists
- Badge system
- Discussions are welcome
  - TODO: Max. image upload size???
  - TODO: Max. edit time???
- See also https://octave.discourse.group/t/do-we-want-to-adopt-discourse/39
(No time left, maybe next time) ~~Hosting Octave main website on "https://www.octave.org" (jwe's dreamhost.com account) rather than "https://www.gnu.org/software/octave/", see Project Infrastructure.~~
- ~~Updating Octave's main website is pain (CVS, see Makefile)~~
