Today's topics

  • GSoC progress
  • VM progress?
  • Octave packages progress update
  • Managing diversity of libraries (libm, libc etc)
  • Release process for Octave 7.2:
    • About 10 (actual) changes since the last release candidate (about 6 weeks ago). Should we make a second release candidate?
    • Not much feedback for the first release candidate. Should we skip making release candidates entirely and directly make releases? Should we announce them more prominently (e.g., on the web page)?
  • Octave 7.3 and 8 timeline?
