Today we completed the language
translations (task #12) and the lint checking of the code
base (task #8).
Next up is tasks #9 and #10.
9) Verify 'make check' is passing on all buildbot
combinations of OS and compilers
- Start discussion on octave-maintainers list about
which failing tests must be fixed
- Identify and fix any tests determined critical in
step above
10) Compile and run Octave test suite with
--enable-address-sanitizer-flags to check for memory
leaks
- Results posted to bug report: #55415
- Memory leak in graphics subsystem #55287
I've looked through the memory leaks in bug #55415 and
I don't think they are gating on the release. However,
the leak in bug #55287 should be addressed for 5.0.
This isn't a whole lot so I imagine that we could
produce the first release candidate over the weekend.
That will undoubtedly flush out a few more bugs, but the
process does feel like it is converging.
