6.1.2 Release

  • We have a 6.1.2 branch containing three commits fixing bugs in the 6.1.1 release.
  • Paul Butler has proposed we add these fixes to the documentation and plugins ONLY to a quick 6.1.2 release - should we proceed with this now?
    • Jeff suggested to include TwoYukawa from SasModels, Documentation PRs #3667 & #3689 in SasView, and sector average from SasData.
    • Pinned dependencies should be the same as 6.1.1
    • Jeff will be release manager, release candidates for SasModels, SasData, and SasView will be created this week.
  • Do we need to consider a 6.1.3 release or do we leave things to the 6.2 release at a later date?
    • Keep options open here.

Refactoring Project

  • I have merged the quantities, load/save, and trend work from the refactoring project into the main branch of sasdata sasdata #167, sasdata #168, sasdata #169.
  • The refactoring roadmap is available here
  • Plotting refactor branch - what is the current status?
    • The refactor is partially integrated into the GUI, currently plots both existing and refactored plots. Need to remove the old plots and include residuals on the same x axis as main plot.
    • Need to consider how does this refactor work with fitting refactor and other plotting work?

CodeScene and Ruff

  • Ruff is setup on SasView, SasData and SasModels. Codescene is only enabled for SasData.
    • Decision: Punt on hooking up codescene to sasmodels and sasview till after the camp. YES.
      • The original agreement was to activate CodeScene at the lowest level for sasmodels and sasview, as it has been for sasdata, once 6.1.1 was released.
      • However, difficulties encountered when merging refactoring work and discussions on 4th Nov suggest that we should carefully consider what to do next.
  • Paul S. and Jeff will discuss how to proceed this week.
    • It was agreed to move to having a config file to fine tune Codescene settings, with an early implementation relaxing some requirements.
    • Jeff will write docs explaining some of the Codescene terminology.
    • Also look into other projects using Codescene to see how they make use of it.
