+* Deprecate mmtf reader
+ - Should we remove mmtf from ChimeraX?
+ - Yes, announce on the mailing list and remove from daily build.
+ - Greg says PDB stopped supplying mmtf binary files for new entries in 2024.
+ - PDB has a newer binary mmcif format.
 
+* Github pypi package security warnings

+
+* Amber 26 update
+ - Eric working on updating from Amber 20 to Amber 26 (6 year jump).
+ - Trying build on Windows, not yet in daily build, currently causing test suite failure.  Fix has been made.
+
+* Updating PyPi packages
+ - Looked at outdated PyPi packages using prereqs/pips/Makefile app-outdated target.  Shows about 60 packages.
+ - We should consider which are important to keep up to date.
+ - Discussed keeping certifi up to date.
+
+* PySide
+ - Zach may try switching PyQt to PySide in daily build when Qt 6.11.2 comes out.
+ - We reverted from Qt 6.11.1 to Qt 6.10.2 due to a main window resizing bug when floating tools present.
+ - If we want to use PySide instead of PyQt in next December ChimeraX release need to be using it in daily builds no later than August to give enough time for testing.
