Agenda

Apologies:

Discussion-worthy issues/PR

CW: Firedrake release

#4193 is ready for review.

• Predominantly updates to workflow files.
• Roll docs build into standard workflow to allow different "main" and "release" website pages with appropriate content/warnings.
• Don't allow any merges into release with TODO comments.
• Dev install is now slightly more involved, but makes sure we use the petsc4py from the local PETSc repo, not pypi.
• firedrake-zenodo has been updated but is mostly untested. We might have to debug this the first time someone wants a record after release.
• FAQ and policies for release procedure reviewed and approved.
• Last dependencies to be released: FIAT and UFL.

PB: Mixed dual interpolation

UFL #370 Firedrake #4197

Merge PRs

Note that PRs put in this section should either be trivial or already have been reviewed. Discussion-worthy PRs should be separate agenda items.

• CW: petsctools - wait until after release.
• JHC: apt packages - approved pending removal of bugged VOM test.
• PB: FacetSplitPC - wait until after release.
