Previous topics

  • Octave 8.2.0 released
    • 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
    • arguments blocks
    • improved breakpoint handling
    • experimental stack-based virtual machine
    • MException object
    • string object (separate from having double-quoted characters create string objects)
    • HDF5-based save and load compatible with Matlab's file format
    • refactor octave_function and classes derived from it
    • broadcasting for sparse
    • 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 - thanks!
