• 3.11.0:

  • Nathan is open to resuming release manager.

  • Quality assurance for LinkClock.

  • Scott Carver’s SynthDef spec PR #3814.

Release board issues (now postponed to 3.10.5):

• Issue #4214 (IDE stuck at “Sending Request”): James believes this is resolved, but needs more testing.

  • Nathan will test and look at it

  • James will write up an explanation of why this is happening and why this fixes it

• Issue #4368 (Windows Defender delays scsynth boot): not much new information

• Issue #3132 (CommonTests quark -> local UnitTests): considered ongoing, not important for 3.10.4

Other topics:

• Suggestion for high priority after the 3.10.4 release: getting the number of open PRs to 10 or fewer

  • The number of open PRs has been overwhelming since the code reformat

  • Brian’s advice for reviewers: ask for information immediately whenever it is needed

  • Nathan suggested setting aside a weekend “review-a-thon” for tackling pull requests

• The Release Board has been really helpful in prioritizing the set of issues

• RFC #1 (platform support guarantees): waiting on Brian

• RFC #4 (Rest): ping James H & Julian on status of discussion

• RFC #7 (binaries in Quarks): some discussion summarized in the actual RFC thread

• RFC #5 (/s_query): awaiting another round of feedback

  • Opens up some wider discussions about how /g_queryTree is broken/weirdly designed

• Comment on the general RFC process: it’s a bit difficult to see current status of RFC

• A new page for “Pre-RFCs”

  • Cannibalize the old “Long-term, large-scape projects” board into a wiki page

Action items:

• Fix a 3.10/develop merge conflict in TestUnitTest.sc.
