     25* ChimeraX 1.3 release
     26  - Greg fixed "remind me later" switch for new version check a few days ago.
     27  - Zach fixed blast bug in past few days
     28  - Eric has new bug, antechamber not working on windows.
     29    * Needed for uncommon case of non-standard residues for coulombic surface coloring.
     30    * Identified by Tristan and needed for his ISOLDE parameterization code.
     31    * Needs several cygwin libraries added to distribution.
     32    * Eric will add libraries and test today and tomorrow.
     33    * Need windows test machine without cygwin.  Use new HP desktop.
     34  - Try to make 1.3 release on Monday if antechamber fix is verified.
     35
     36* Windows crash reports
     37  - Python faulthandler gives tens of spurious fatal error messages on windows.
     38  - Spurious messages are when open dialog or save dialog shown.
     39  - Error code 0x80... is about remote procedure calls failing
     40  - Only gets reported when real crash happens, usually "access violation".
     41  - Access violation crash usually only gives one line Python stack trace which is usually useless.
     42  - Need to investigate if this is usual faulthandler behavior on Windows.
     43  - Need full Python traceback for this Windows crash reporting to be useful.
     44
     45* Alternative issue tracking
     46  - Zach tried github issues and Jira for ChimeraX issue tracking.
     47  - Neither allowed user input without an account.
     48  - Plan is for Scooter to try to improve reliability of our Trac ticket system by switching sqlite to mysql backend.
     49
     50* Chimera 1.16 release
     51  - Is MultiFit stil in Chimera 1.15? No it was removed.  But older Chimera have it.
     52  - May want to shutdown multifit server on plato to avoid runaway jobs impairing server.
     53  - Plan is still to release 1.16 after ChimeraX 1.3 is released.
     54  - May have 1.16 be last Windows 7 release, and switch daily builds to Windows 10 since Windows 7 is 2 years past end of life with no security fixes.
