Present: @alizter @emillon @gridbugs @leonidas-from-xiv @lubegasimon @rjbou

• benchmark bot (@emillon)

  • Comment has been deactivated

• dune monitor command (#8152, @alizter)

  • Demo
  • Can editor integration use this?
  • Bug with active job count
  • Future of the command: goal is to integrate into dune build

• changelog creator (@alizter)

  • Demo
  • This contains several aspects without various buy-in levels:
    • New workflow: we agree it's valuable
    • Changelog merge step: seems interesting too
    • Changelog creation step: this steps seems pretty personal and hard to standardize on for now
  • Should we output a single CHANGES.md or one per version? General consensus is that keeping a single file is better.

• case/pkg (@alizter)

  • Demo
  • New case and cond forms in action language that are evaluated at parse time. So they are not part of the action language.
  • Seems interesting in the context of package management but also works on an old proposal to bring conditionals. (why was this abandoned?)

• 3.10 release (@emillon)

  • release process starts next week
  • in case of known regressions, make sure to file issues and ping @emillon.
