= Discussion =

* ChimeraX 1.7.1 release
  - Try to make 1.7.1 release when Greg gets back from vacation Thursday or Friday.
  - Test the 1.7.1 build before making the release, since it has not had any builds since 1.7 went out.

* Chimera Windows build broken by cygwin update
  - Eric checked in a possible fix today to work with the new flex 2.6.
  - We don't know a way to roll back cygwin.

* !SymProFold / Domain_Separator
  - Elaine discussed with developers making a bundle.
  - We will wait to here if they need help making a bundle.

* Qt 6.6 update
  - Zach has a bug with 2d slice layout presumably fixed by Qt 6.6.1.
  - Let's update to Qt 6.6 on Wednesday after Tom gives ChimeraX tutorial and after Mac notarization gets back to working.
