--------------------------
= Discussion =

* ChopChopMF Toolshed bundle
 - Tom reviewing dozen user interfaces provided by new ChopChopMF bundle from Lukas Bauer.
 - New Mac Qt bug observed after main window expands to be taller than screen, resizing it vertically does not relayout panels, so command-line and status line are clipped off.  Redocking a floating tool and resizing can fix the layout.

* Branch for release candidate
 - Greg will branch for 1.11 release when he gets Windows signing working.
 - May be today or Wednesday.

* Release candidate builds
 - Once code is branched Zach can start release candidate builds.

* Qt 6.9.3
 - Will we try Qt 6.9.3?  There is no PyQt 6.9.3 release.
 - No.  Tom tried Qt 6.10 and it did not fix the only Qt bug we know how to reproduce of stacked tools not showing tabs.

* Milestoned 1.11 bugs
 - Greg will improve session requiring newer bundles error message #15034.
 - Zach will improve bundle builder error message #19262.
 - Ten other 1.11 bugs will be remilestoned.
