* @jwe's server is now set up as a buildbot worker for buildbot.octave.space (Windows nightlies) | |||
** Worker needs to be started manually on reboot. Other than that it is working. | |||
** Upload is slow. Maybe, skip (building and) uploading the .zip archive. Installer and .7z archive are probably enough. | |||

** @arungiridhar already pushed a fix for streams in binary mode to the stable branch. | |||
** Change default to "no conversion" (i.e., UTF-8) when opening streams with <code>fopen</code> without explicitly specifying an encoding. Matlab also defaults to UTF-8 in newer versions. And this might mitigate the encoding issue (at least with default settings). | |||
* Symbol visibility for Octave libraries causing issues for some Octave packages? | * Symbol visibility for Octave libraries causing issues for some Octave packages? | ||
** Change default to disable selective symbol visibility again. | |||

** Application period will start soon. | |||
* | * NumFOCUS | ||
** Go ahead with application (without waiting for feedback from FSF any longer). | |||
