  • Present:

    • Thorsten, Caolan, Cloph, Heiko, Hossein, Ilmari, Stephan, Stephane, Xisco, Miklos, Eike, Olivier, Michael S

  • Completed Action Items:

  • Pending Action Items:

  • Release Engineering update (Cloph)

    • 7.6: 7.6.6 RC1 this week, on Tue
    • 24.2.2 RC1 this week, today
    • RC2s for both in 2 weeks
    • Windows MAR updater status? (Thorsten)
      • later this week (Cloph)
    • app stores: discussion to move to 24.2 earlier (before 7.6 EOL)
      • maybe after 7.6.6 (so no 7.6.7 there)
      • the expectation is higher there, because of the app store price (Thorsten)
        • feedback on social media was to update sooner (Cloph)
        • not going via .0, but would switch to the new line sooner than the EOL of the old line
        • not set in stone, but want to maintain just one code line
        • if this is representive, then makes sense; if the feedback is representative (Thorsten)
        • whatever you do, you never please all users (Stephan)
        • still time to decide, would just skip 7.6.7 (Cloph)
          • would it worth a try to update only one app store earlier? (Thorsten)
          • or just listen to feedback after the change in process
        • was checking the release plan (Xisco)
          • 7.6.6 at the end of March
          • 24.2.2 will be the current 24.2 by that time
          • that’s the plan: only switch to 24.2 by 24.2.3 (Cloph)
            • i.e. 5 weeks later
          • think .3 should be stable enough (Xisco)
            • no problem from QA point of view
    • 24.8 install set language pack changes (for Mac) (Cloph)
      • plan would be: install all languages, langpacks only add help
      • larger installation set, but the app store version has this setup already
      • good to get early feedback on this
