Todays topics
- Meet and greet 5 minutes before meeting (audio testing).
Octave 6 release status
- 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/ .
- Still hard to fix blocking bugs
- Build (RC) anyway!
- crashes during doc graphics creation seem to be fixed (bug #56952)
- still elusive crashes while running the test suite on the build bots (bug #57591) -> Maybe the broader user base of an RC can shed some light on "real-life frequency" of these crashes.
- possible background: interaction between graphics system and interpreter is different from interaction of rest of GUI with the interpreter. Possibly resolvable by a copy-on-write approach for graphics objects (postponed to Octave 7)
- calling script from nested functions (bug #58691 fixed)
- empty list creation if one element is not assigned (bug #58686 not a blocker)
- Try to tackle bugs with debuggers
- valgrind slow
-fsanitize=threadin memory and faster
- Before Octave 6.1.0 release, discharge MS Windows 10 Malware Detection Systems (e.g. upload to https://www.virustotal.com/)
Community Infrastructure (Kai)
- Discourse for GNU Octave
- Replacement for mailing-lists (help@octave.org and maintainers@octave.org) and https://planet.octave.org
- TODO:
Advertise on Octave homepageand announce on mailing-lists
- TODO:
- Badge system
- Discussions are welcome
- Max. image upload size: (Yes) There is not a restriction in the file size, but in the megapixels
max image megapixels = 40and dimensionmax image width = 690,max image height = 500. - Max. edit time: Yes, there is
editing grace period = 300seconds, but admins can edit any post.
- Max. image upload size: (Yes) There is not a restriction in the file size, but in the megapixels
- See also https://octave.discourse.group/t/do-we-want-to-adopt-discourse/39
- Replacement for mailing-lists (help@octave.org and maintainers@octave.org) and https://planet.octave.org
- (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.
