     27* Update Cython
     28  - Eric says Cython version has advanced from version 0.29 to 3.0.5.
     29  - Supposed to have better Python 3 support.
     30  - Used by chimerax atomic data structures.
     31  - We should update after ChimeraX 1.7 release is made.
     32
     33* Intel-only Mac binaries
     34  - ffmpeg and AmberTools in Mac ChimeraX are Intel only.
     35  - This causes an error "Bad CPU architecture" if Rosetta is not installed.
     36  - Eric more than a year ago caught AmberTools error and showed warning saying to install Rosetta.
     37  - Today got ffmpeg bug report.  Tom will try to find a Mac ARM ffmpeg binary and test and put into our builds.
     38  - Mac universal build output shows only two other binaries are Intel-only: OpenVR and libHoloPlay (LookingGlass display).  VR is no longer supported on Mac and LookingGlass display will likely be out of business soon.  So neither of those need ARM versions.
     39
     40* Reviewed ChimeraX 1.7 tickets
     41  - Greg working on ChimeraX registration add to annouce mailing list, mmCIF issue, flatpak distribution, Toolshed installed tools breaking build.
     42
     43* Windows 7 Chimera build machine backup
     44  - Do we need to backup Windows 7 Chimera build machine or is it ok to let it die and never build on Windows again?
     45  - Tom suggests we make some changes to Chimera before final release such as disconnecting Report a Bug and instead showing a message saying there will be no bug fixes and use ChimeraX.  Also disconnect request to register.
     46  - Plan to have a final Chimera 1.18 release around the same time as ChimeraX 1.8 (May 2024) with end--of-life changes made.
