I'd like to propose ([+-][01]) that we set<br>a hard cutoff of a week from today, Valentine's day. If anything<br>doesn't make it in, that's fine. We just put out a release without it<br>and wrap it up in 2.6. (Yeah, we probably need a 2.6.)<br><br>The remaining blockers:<br><br> * I want Andrew's pull request to make it in. This is a huge win for<br>everyone. Once it's in, we can add documentation about it, and then<br>it'll be a big feature.<br> * John ZuHone has an outstanding piece of code that builds Enzo data<br>from in-memory hierarchies. I would like to see this make it in, but<br>it is worth a release all by itself.<br> * The remaining tickets are mostly all documentation based. We need:<br>bootcamp in the docs, rotation information in the docs,<br>offaxisprojection in the docs.<br> * We have a need for answer testing for Orion, FLASH, NYX and<br>optionally GDF datasets. I have been the bottleneck here. If you<br>have pinged me in the past, ping me again and I will do this with you.<br> If we don't get to this by 14th, this will be bumped.<br><br>However: after 2.5 goes out, I would like for us to stop doing *major*<br>features on the 2.x branch and try to focus on 3.0. This may not be<br>possible for all things, but I would like to try to push for that. At<br>a bare minimum, every new feature in 2.6 should be well-tested enough<br>that we can run those tests on 3.0 to determine if it is directly<br>portable. And future-compatible requirements will be in place for new<br>features in 2.6.<br><br>Also, I'd like to nominate John ZuHone to send out the release<br>announcement, particularly since he has worked so hard to put together<br>initial conditions generation in this release.<br><br>-Matt<br>_______________________________________________<br>yt-dev mailing list<br><a href="mailto:yt-dev@lists.spacepope.org">yt-dev@lists.spacepope.org</a><br>http://lists.spacepope.org/listinfo.cgi/yt-dev-spacepope.org<br></div></blockquote></div><br></body></html>
