    • Upload binaries to releases: Already working for nightly build. Port in progress - Draft PR
  • Minor comments to address for linter ADR, nothing received for release automation.
  • Make final?
• Ongoing discussions:
  • https://github.com/orgs/SasView/discussions/3934: Defining the release process and release manager
    • Some of the process is outlined in https://github.com/SasView/sasview/wiki/DevNotes_DevGuide_ReleaseChecklistTemplate
    • Release notes for Dev releases? Cumulative from previous stable release or from last dev release? Final release should have cumulative.
    • Delete/pare-down/hide dev releases after stable release? As long as we keep the tags and the binaries, the release notes can be pared down. More work for release manager if pared down. Likely keep as is to not create more work for ourselves.
  • No Link: Contributing to SasView: Define the process, i.e. what the requestor needs to provide, level of support from the existing community, and what that gets the contributor
    • https://github.com/SasView/sasview/wiki/contribution_acknowledgments to an ADR - Paul B. to convert prior to the Nov. Contributor Camp
