Today's topics

Previous topics

  • GSoC progress
    • Progress was presented by available mentors. Generally good. Some discussion on openlibm, accepted that negative results are also valuable.
  • VM progress?
    • Petter presented updates on his VM.
    • jwe prefers incorporating that into the default branch of Octave as soon as practical, and let it remain off by default unless the user wants to enable it with a configure switch or a runtime switch
    • This would be formed into an API for a generic VM approach to Octave that can be used for other VMs such as the Jitter one, etc
  • Octave packages progress update
  • Managing diversity of libraries (libm, libc etc)
  • Release process for Octave 7.2:
    • About 10 (actual) changes since the last release candidate (about 6 weeks ago). Should we make a second release candidate?
    • Not much feedback for the first release candidate. Should we skip making release candidates entirely and directly make releases? Should we announce them more prominently (e.g., on the web page)?
  • Octave 7.3 and 8 timeline?
