     27* flatpak nightly build
     28 - Zach and Greg will look at what space issue is preventing the flatpak build from succeeding.
    2729
     30* Qt version for ChimeraX 1.11 release
     31 - Plan is to release ChimeraX 1.11 with Qt 6.9.2 despite the many Mac bugs.
     32 - PyQt 6.10 is out but has known problems reported on PyQt mailing list, and we have little time to have users test it.
     33 - There is no PyQt6-Qt6 6.9.3 available and unclear if Riverbank will release one.
     34 - Could drop Qt 6.9.3 libraries into PyQt 6.9.2 if it fixed problems.
     35 - Of the Qt 6.9.2 bugs we are only able to reproduce the missing tabs on stacked tools.  Tom will try PyQt 6.10 to see if that fixes it, if so will try Qt 6.9.3.  If not try removing our floating tool on-top code to see if problem is related to that.
     36 - If we have no fix for broken stacked tool tabs we will still release 1.11 mid-December.
     37
     38* ChimeraX 1.11 release candidates
     39 - Plan to start release candidates Monday Dec 10, 2025.
     40 - That gives us 5 weeks until a Dec 15 release.
     41 - Later than Dec 15 may mean pushing release until after holidays.
     42 - Greg and Zach will look at active 1.11 tickets which we will review next Monday at ChimeraX meeting.
     43
     44* Windows installer signing
     45 - Greg will have Windows installer signing working before ChimeraX 1.11 release.
     46 - Will look at whether Chimera signing can be easily fixed.
     47
     48* Chimera Mac Tahoe
     49 - Eric has not had time to work on fixing graphics pane positioning problem.
     50 - Hovering mouse over window resize control fixes it, so it is not as pressing.
     51
     52* Scenes
     53 - Eric made several scene improvements.
     54 - Active coordinate set properly restored.
     55 - Add and Update separate buttons on GUI.
