{{note|Octave 6 release in November (tentative)}}
*
 
* What is left to be done?
** Complete items in [[6.1 Release Checklist]]
** There are '''13''' bugs marked for '''6.0.9x''' release candidates (see [https://octave.space/savannah/ bug overview page])
*** For the Octave 6 release this number has not necessarily to be 0
*** Developers should go through this list and focus on the relevant ones:
**** {{bug|59206}} "crash during matrix multiplication (Win only)"
***** '''Very important''' probably an OpenBLAS issue.
**** {{bug|59331}} "Processor load stays up after `__run_test_suite__`"
***** Still investigating.
**** {{bug|57591}} "Segmentation faults when running the test suite (mostly with clang)"?
***** jwe reported he has a trace log to get to the bottom of it.
 
=== Broken packages in MXE Octave ===
 
* Should there be a grace period for package maintainers to adapt to Octave 6 before the 6.1 release?
** Release is scheduled for November.
** Active package maintainers already up-to-date.
** Only contact package maintainers who's packages currently fail:
*** [[odepkg]] runs in an infinite loop while testing {{bug|59338}}; BitBucket repo no longer available; Kai contacts cdf via mailing-list.
*** [https://octave.sourceforge.io/sparsersb/ SparseRSB] contacted in {{bug|58957}}.
* Many broken packages cannot identified in MXE Octave builds.
** jwe? reported that some packages intentionally deactivate warnings about deprecated functions until it is "too late" and the package no longer builds.  '''Please do not do this.'''
