    v4 v5  
    2323  * This will help Tristan compiling.
    2424
     25* ChimeraX 1.5 branch and release candidates
     26  * Greg would like to make some bug fixes before we branch.
     27  * We hope to branch next Monday after discussing at developer meeting.
     28  * Release candidates can be made a day or two after the branch to make sure nothing committed the day of the branch (which will also be in the daily build) causes serious issues.

     30* Will we drop macOS 10.14 in ChimeraX 1.5?
     31  * Plan is to keep macOS 10.14 for ChimeraX 1.5
     32  * About 100 unique IP addresses per month download from macOS 10.14.
     33  * Currently Mac universal 10.15, Mac ARM 11, and Mac Intel 10.14 daily builds are made and on the download page in that order.
     34  * We could use the same for the 1.5 release, including 10.14 on Intel.
     35  * We could optionally improve the download page to show only the Mac universal build or if the browser user-agent says Mac 10.14 show only the Intel Mac build. The other builds would be under "other releases".
     36  * Download page improvement can be done any time before or after release.
     37
     38* Toolshed bundle requirement checking
     39  * Eric says this is about having the Toolshed verify more than the core version number before installing a bundle.
     40  * This will be long discussion for another meeting.
     41
     42* Update UniRef BLAST databases
     43  * Elaine would like the databases updated for ChimeraX 1.5
     44  * These are entirely handled by the back-end blast web service so in theory can be updated any time, not coordinated with release.
     45  * Ticket is assigned to Scooter.
     46  * Greg found 2021 versions of databases on Wynton that could be used.  But require making the blast database files.
     47  * Scooter indicated by email that milestone for 1.6 is more practical given his limited time.
     48
     49* Mingw compiler on Windows
     50  * Zach has tried using the mingw compiler on Windows instead of our current Microsoft Visual Studio.
     51  * This compiler was easier to use with github actions.
     52  * Also apparently did not use cygwin.
     53  * Seems like a major change.
     54
     55* Have github convert line endings?
     56  * Zach suggests having git auto-convert text file line endings to use LF and no CR LF in repository.
     57  * TomG suggests this seems not worth the possible debugging that will result.
     58  * Zach says it is to help outside developers contributing on Windows to our repository.  We don't have any currently.
