Roundtable

Vicente released 1.6.0-rc2 this week. Spack has also been update. Vicente working with Ben to integrate with some new tools to make the release easier. If everything goes as expected, 1.6.0 could be released as early as Friday or early next week.

Wiki will go away at some point (and will definitely move soon). We should avoid using it for anything other than these notes.

Rename master branch?

  • Need to wait for some changes to git before the transition (for some automated features of repo).
  • Can we for a time have a master that mirrors the new default?
    • Don't know, but seems possible. Will have to look into that.
