SC-Dev meeting 11-17

Nathan, Iannis, James S, Tejsaw, Brian, Patrick, Josh

4368 - decide next week if it stays in 3.10.4

Consider what for 3.10.4, think for 3.11 while considering 3.10.5

Nathan - update change log today

4124 - James S - maybe not an IPC issue? From the IDEs point of view it is writing to standard input - no errors reported. But the language process is NOT seeing anything on STDIN. So, the IPC never gets kicked off. Really hard to follow up - Nathan has shown that his python script probably shows it is IDE related (since sclang talks listens from python ok).

Probably something wrong with QProcess

Maybe don’t subclass QProcess?

Another possible move to 3.10.5

3132 - Patrick

Some good progress, but feeling like he isn’t moving forward. Server tests on Travis still don’t work. Might leave server tests for another day.

Removed common tests. Have included the test suite in the repo. QPM now runs the tests in the repo.

Might do server tests (at least on one platform) for next release.

4363 - consensus on how to fix the crash - Nathan will do a pull request.

Josh - lots of code-signing progress, still trying to get to unsigned binary plugins.

3.11 - Abelton Link should be main new item.

Brian - talked with Andrew Beltz - works for VCV Rack (creator?). Prototyping thing that lets people write code with various scripting languages. Looking for someone to help with sc backend for prototype repo. Any interest?

Also - Brian wants his PRs merged. 4585 is merged, 4612 will be rebased to 3.10

Patrick would like someone to review: PR 4643 Server related fixes for some UnitTests PR 7 in supercollider-quarks repo PR 4598 Classlib: Buffer:write should use Buffer:writeMsg

Discussed possible future improvements to UnitTest: fixtures, mocks, etc.

Talked about GitHub Actions:

  • general feeling - no compelling reason to use it now, but could research it more

For next meeting:

  • plan to put together a list of issues and PRs for 3.11
