• Chimera

Discussion

• Register ChimeraX only once
  • We don't see a good reason for the current ChimeraX reregister request 365 days after last toolshed use.
  • Check with Tom Ferrin if it is ok to just ask for registration one time.
  • Current toolshed code uses anonymous user id (uuid) to track toolshed use.

• Windows signing password
  • Need to remove the windows signing password from the public log.
  • Installer builder runs the window signing showing that password
  • Installer builder also logs 10000 other lines, compressing files...
  • Propose redirecting Windows installer builder output to a separate file that will not be publicly visible.
  • Check exit code of installer builder and put error message in public log if it fails.

• Google indexing of mailing list
  • Greg says cron job that updates site map is still not working.

• ChimeraX on macOS Monterey
  • Zach says ChimeraX 1.2.5 starts on macOS Monterey beta.
  • ChimeraX daily built on Monterey did not start, could not find OpenGL library.
  • Maybe 1.2.5 works because it is told the OS version is 10.16.
  • PyOpenGL patch for macOS Big Sur applies only for macOS 11 or 10.16.

• ChimeraX 1.3 roadmap
  • Eric grayed out some big 1.3 items (dock prep, loop modeling, build structure) that probably won't be done for 1.3
  • REST services that Zach will work on should go on roadmap
  • Current roadmap items for 1.3 and 1.4 have not been carefully thought out yet.
  • Everyone should put additional items for 1.3 on roadmap for next week group meeting discussion.

• Python 3.9
  • ChimeraX daily build on Python 3.9 now
  • Possibly openmm install can be done better with wheels if the OpenMM project or Tristan makes openmm wheels. Currently get tar balls from conda-forge.

• Apple Silicon.
  • TomG made some code changes for macOS arm64 builds.
  • No QtWebEngine support.
  • Qt for arm64 will be released with Qt 6.2.
  • Native arm64 ChimeraX not likely for ChimeraX 1.3, possible for 1.4.
