DevNotes_14Feb2023

• Status of 5.0.6 release
  • beta is out - please get as much feedback as possible
    • Added by Wojtek. Question from a tester: What should I test? Should we update this
      • Agreed that we should check to see if it needs updating
      • Agreed that in principle this should be checked BEFORE releasing a beta
      • Agreed that this could be a list to point non-scatterers to who would like to help with testing
      • Agreed that for users they should test doing whatever they would normally do
  • Issue with mac permissions still being sorted
    • Paul and Jeff to check with Brian Maranville to make sure that he was using 5.0.6rc1
    • Wojciech to check with Andrew that he is using rc1 also
    • Unsure about write permission issue so will now wait to see if others report it.
• Pull requests:

• E-learning course - anybody looked at it? interested in helping?:
  • SasView for new contributors: https://e-learning.pan-training.eu/moodle/course/view.php?id=52
    • Bence going to use this to debug while learning
• Question about calendar https://github.com/SasView/sasview/wiki
  • Agreed to create [email protected] and move calendar there (and notify those who have subscribed)
• Discussion items
  • Ubuntu 18.04 in CI https://github.com/SasView/sasview/issues/2398 https://github.com/SasView/documents/blob/master/Development/Testing/SasView_5_GUI_QA.pdf or maybe introduce something new?
    • agreed to remove 18.04 and add 20.04 (latest is now 22.04)
  • Added by Miguel. Start discussion about https://github.com/SasView/sasmodels/issues/551
    • Agreed to try writing a new version of existing models to gain some insight into speedups
    • There is interest in working on sasmodels and polydispersity integrations anyway for other reasons than just the hypergeometric functions. If there is enough resource interest, now might be the time to revisit sasmodels?
  • more vs fewer repos https://github.com/SasView/sasview/discussions/2421
    • Still need some thought. Either way will require some discipline (though organizational vs coding discipline perhaps). Main question currently is how easy it would be to release a part of one repo to pypi as a package (e.g. sasmodels were it drawn back into the main repo).
    • Probably need a decision before the time comes to split off sascalc?
• AOB
  • News item: Kinanti has made progress and may be ready now to come back with some proposals for integration of her code.
