What we did:

• Tom Murphy did nothing.

• Brian Heim has been working on regression tests for sclang, which should be ready to merge within a few days. He has a working proof of concept using the recent nested multiline comment fix.

• Rainer Schütz is working on making SC buildable on VS 2015. The difficult parts are QtWebKit and supernova.

• Nathan Ho worked on a bunch of small things as usual, FINALLY fixed the Linux tooltip issue with Rainer, and has made some progress on UGen regression tests.

• Patrick Dupuis is looking into HID issues on Fedora Linux (the help file contains an Ubuntu-specific udev rule).

Topics:

• appear.in supports stickers, as we discovered this meeting

• Cross-platform compatibility of the older Python sclang tests.

• April 1 was a bit optimistic for 3.9 (we only have 2 out of 8 major issues outlined in January), but we can still try to push to finish some important issues.

• Issues with packaging. Looked at openbuildservice.org and discussed Travis CI, AWS, and Linux PPAs. We don’t really have a documented release process right now.

• Our thoughts on the recent mailing list discussion:

  • It’s okay if we use a mailing list even if they’re out of vogue

  • It’s not okay that people are sending messages to the list through Nabble and we can’t do anything about their messages ending up in limbo

  • We should replace Nabble, not the list

• Concerns over scvim development rate

• Unanimous support for deprecating OSC(path/r)esponder[Node]

• Missing sclang features: .asStringPrec with trailing zeros (see http://new-supercollider-mailing-lists-forums-use-these.2681727.n2.nabble.com/asStringPrec-td5826156.html), converting a hex string to an integer, binomial coefficient

• SC decision-making processes, then and now. Conference calls vs GitHub vs sc-users vs sc-dev for discussions.

• Extension of this discussion: http://new-supercollider-mailing-lists-forums-use-these.2681727.n2.nabble.com/Github-in-web-editing-disable-td7630916.html
