     23* Windows ARM installation
     24 - Windows installer  used to allow installing Intel ChimeraX on ARM to run under emulation.
     25 - That ability was missing in 1.10 release from change to Github Action builds.
     26 - Zach has added installing on Windows ARM in daily build.
     27 - Appears not many Windows ARM users since ChimeraX 1.10 has been out a couple months and we just heard about the installer problem today.

     29* !PySide easier testing
     30 - Zach says he commits !PySide fixes to both the develop and pyside branches of ChimeraX.
     31 - So we can easily try !PySide with the develop branch when we are testing whatever we are currently working on.
     32 - There is a USE_PYSIDE (?) environment variable when building to get !PySide instead of !PyQt.
     33 - Alternatively !PyQt can be pip uninstalled (also !PyQt-WebEngine) and !PySide pip installed.
     34
     35* Cytoscape GPU nodes
     36 - Greg, Tom Ferrin and Tom Goddard looked at two GPU nodes (8 L40S GPUs) in BH-101, not currently powered.
     37 - Still need to find a location (N453?) with adequate power and cooling to run them.
     38 - Also need to see what purpose Scooter wants to put these nodes to.
     39
     40* Wynton news
     41 - Greg says a plan for moving Wynton to CoLab off-site facility will be produced by academic research computing (Mandy) by end of September for Sam Hagwood to review.
     42
     43* ViewDock
     44 - Eric gave improved viewdock back to Shoichet lab tester Andriy.
     45 - Soon will remove ViewDockX bundle.
     46
     47* numpy 2
     48 - Discussed updating numpy 1 to numpy 2.
     49 - Will be needed for Python 3.13 because numpy 1 binaries are not available for 3.13.
     50 - Decided to wait until Spring ChimeraX release.  Work on one major change, PyQt to PySide for this December release.
     51
     52* Prereq updates
     53 - Eric unpinned prereqs to see if new ones work, then will pin new latest versions.
     54 - Greg has updated some prereqs.  Newer Cython since update is available.
     55 - Tom has not made updates yet.
