Some space appears to be freeing up in QA and this dev test would be a good shake down of a few aspects related to Pan and Zoom. However there are currently several blocking issues noted in the next comment

[pixelzoom]

Re publishing a dev version... I noted that there are 3 blocking issues.

2 issues are related to PhET-iO support for pan & zoom:

• Error: Assertion failed: Did not find press (phet-io pan/zoom) scenery#1120
• https://github.com/phetsims/phet-io/issues/1705

Those issues seem relevant to Natural Selection, given the need to test phetsims/natural-selection#219.

1 issue is related to "key events" (I'm not familiar with this):

• Global key events are not captured for PhET-iO input scenery#1119

I contacted @ariel-phet on Zoom. He agrees that these are likely blocking for Natural Selection, and will contact @jessegreenberg .

This issue should also be tied to this test: phetsims/scenery#1079

[pixelzoom]

This issue has been deferred for so long that the issue template has probably evolved, and most (all?) of the above comments are no longer relevant. So I'm going to close this issue, and create a new one for the 1.3.0-dev.1 dev test.
