** Analysis and profiling of existing code base -- share and solicit experiences. | |||
** Performance benchmark to track speed over time as part of CI? | |||
* GSoC: call for mentors (Nir/Kai) | |||
** Interesting mentors should write to Nir or Kai before: 2022-05-06, ideally before. | |||
** Final deadline (to the sponsor) is May 12. | |||
* Octave 7.1.0 post-release remarks: | |||
** Overall time from merge of default to stable (2021-11-24) until release of version 7.1.0 (2022-04-06): approx. 4 months | |||
*** Why does it take us so long for the last couple of releases? | |||
*** Should we start the release process earlier? | |||
** A couple of bugs have been solved on the stable branch since the release. Last time we released 6.2.0 pretty early after 6.1.0. Should we do the same again? | |||
** Regressions that should probably be solved before a potential 7.2.0: | |||
*** bug {{bug|62308}}: use of octave::feval causes error: function '...' not found | |||
*** patch {{patch|10200}}: wrong axes using stairs in subplot --- This affects a lot more plotting functions besides stairs. They always plot into <code>gca</code> and ignore the input axes handle. | |||
*** others? | |||
* Wikipedia updates - minor updates needed to bring up to date. | |||
