* Still hard to fix blocking bugs | * Still hard to fix blocking bugs | ||
** | ** Build (RC) anyway! | ||
** | ** crashes during doc graphics creation seem to be fixed (bug {{bug|56952}}) | ||
** still elusive crashes while running the test suite on the build bots (bug {{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) | ||
** | |||
* | * Other important bugs | ||
** calling script from nested functions (bug {{bug|58691}} fixed) | |||
** empty list creation if one element is not assigned (bug {{bug|58686}} not a blocker) | |||
* | * Try to tackle bugs with debuggers | ||
** valgrind slow | |||
** <code>-fsanitize=thread</code> 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/) | |||
