Updates
- Slicer can now be built with Qt5 and VTK8. More details here: https://www.slicer.org/wiki/Documentation/Labs/Qt5-and-VTK8
To discuss
- Schedule for the next release
From Andras:
The main question is when to release the next stable version. RSNA seems to be a bit late: 1. We would need a solid version for MICCAI (Sep 9), it would be nice to do it with a “stable” version than a hand-picked nightly, 2. We may not want to delay Qt5/VTK8 migration until November. Starting to stabilize the nightly now (fix important errors, refrain from integrating risky changes), releasing a stable version by the end of August (before MICCAI), and create releases as needed (before RSNA) would make sense.
Conclusion
- 4.7 release: After addressing
- extension packaging
- and numpy issues,
- update of DCMTK
- we will create the release. In the next 2 weeks
- Update versioning scheme:
- 4.7 -> current dev
- 4.8 -> release
- slicer-4.8 -> maintenance branch for 4.8 release
- 4.9 -> +1 dev
- 5.0 -> +1 release
- slicer-5.0 -> maintenance branch for 5.0 release
- 5.1 -> +2 dev
- Use of
backlogtarget release in mantis: We associate it with non critical issues
- Transitioning issues to GitHub:
- We wouldn't need to migrate the issues
- Issue would be migrated as needed
Action items:
- announce release on discourse: will be in "release" mode. Avoid major "breaking" changes
