6.3 Release Checklist
- If nothing big shows up, go ahead with the release in about 10 days (early July).

OctConf?
- Instead of an in-person conference, meet up virtually.
- Ideas for code-sprint?
  - Improve test coverage
  - That could include automated tests for GUI features ("expect", Qt test classes, set OCTAVE_SHOW_GUI_MESSAGES to 1 to display signals with missing connections, ...)

Breakpoints
- Add feature to temporarily disable breakpoints
- Check syntax for breakpoints in subfunctions, local functions, private functions, methods, ... (dbstatus)

gsd
- Current version is not Matlab-compatible nor correct in some circumstances.
- Rik is currently implementing a replacement.

IRC channel on Freenode is down
- Replacement on libera?
- jwe will probably post something on discourse.

The following items were not discussed. Just some links to progress on those items are displayed.

Markus gave a small presentation of this project.
- https://github.com/gnu-octave/octave/actions (need to be member of the https://github.com/gnu-octave organization, just ask on Discourse https://octave.discourse.group/t/github-gitlab-organization-for-gnu-octave/178).
- Not 100% perfect yet, but already in a good shape.
- CodeQL static code analysis
- Help with macOS wanted

Bug #60469
On MS Windows only for QScintilla the "safer" signal/slot changes seem to not work.
- Revert it until the problem is identified.

 * [[6.3 Release Checklist]]
+** If nothing big shows up, go ahead with the release in about 10 days (early July).
+* OctConf?
+** Instead of an in-person conference, meet up virtually.
+** Ideas for code-sprint?
+*** Improve test coverage
+*** That could include automated tests for GUI features ("expect", Qt test classes, set <code>OCTAVE_SHOW_GUI_MESSAGES</code> to 1 to display signals with missing connections, ...)
+* GUI
+** Make widgets more modular
+*** remove connections to parents (or parents of parents,...)
+*** Only pass settings objects (instead of base qwidget) to widgets?
+** Add widgets for:
+*** displaying call stack. Select function in stack for appropriate <code>dbup</code> or <code>dbdown</code> command.
+*** displaying result to an expression. Similar to debugger (watcher, ...)
+** User expectations for evaluation code from the editor ("Evaluate selection") or the variable editor ("plot") while there is still pending input on the command line?
+* Breakpoints
+** Add feature to temporarily disable breakpoints
+** Check syntax for breakpoints in subfunctions, local functions, private functions, methods, ... (<code>dbstatus</code>)
+* <code>gsd</code>
+** Current version is not Matlab-compatible nor correct in some circumstances.
+** Rik is currently implementing a replacement.
+* IRC channel on Freenode is down
+** Replacement on libera?
