Discussion

• Cython and tinyarray
  • Need to be careful when writing Cython code about returning to Python in the middle of a function. Slows things down a lot unless everything is in C++.
  • findclash is 40% faster than Chimera 1.
  • Eventually need to move bonds, residues, etc. into Cython but is not urgent right now.
  • Remove requirement to inherit from Cython subclass in order for Python class to be "writable" (set attributes in instances)
• mmCIF output
  • Code is done and validates against RCSB validation tool
  • Output is still missing some tables, e.g., PDB file identifier, EntityPoly (distinct from EntityPolySeq)
  • No additions are needed since no other program cares about them
  • Greg is still working on technical document
• Documentation and tutorial status
  • Conrad is working on second of seven tutorials, making sure content is present and links work
  • Need to reference "true" path for classes instead of relying on import hook
• Registration
  • Need to update text and add text field for comment
  • Remove "Good through DATE" message
• Release 0.6
  • Review milestone priorities
  • Can release with tutorials for adding commands and tools are done
  • Can release without mmCIF output technical doc
  • Backed out Qt 5.10 (does not work on Linux)
  • Target releasing 0.6 next week

Action Items

• Greg will write a technical document describing what is being output for mmCIF
• Greg will feed ChimeraX mmCIF output into RCSB validator
• Everyone update milestones that should be punted to 0.7
• Conrad will write bundle code tutorial
• Conrad will continue working on ribbon tickets
