=== Octave 7 ===
In preparation of the next release, start preparing a list of blocking issues (from the bug tracker?).
=== Paths with spaces (on Windows) ===
Background: Short file names are de-activated in more and more Windows systems by default. It is no longer a viable workaround to use them to fix issues with spaces in paths.
For Octave 7, still install to "Program Files" by default. Keep the workaround with conversion to short file names intact for released versions. Remove the conversion to short file names in nightly builds on octave.space when the first nightlies of Octave 7 will be built.
Try to fix those issues where we find them or get reports.
