• Would there be room for vim support in the notebook #9068 be considered for 3.2?

[goanpeca]

Hi @joelostblom thanks for chiming in.

That is rather a large endeavor that has stalled, so unless someone champions it full time, I do not think it will make it :-| .

[mlucool]

Can we add fixes to the document undo/redo #10694 (or maybe this should be 3.1.x)?

[krassowski]

The PR fixing #10694 is already tagged to 3.1.x (assuming we go with this fix). I would also champion for a fix to #10732 to go into 3.1.x.

[mlucool]

I only see a PR for undo/redo of outputs. Is there another PR for "allowing users to disable the document-wide history tracking when not in RTC mode"?

I agree that #10732 should also go into 3.1.x.

I am not sure we are tracking that as a separate issue. @krassowski do we have such issue?

[krassowski]

We didn't but now we do: #10791.

[echarles]

We will need also #10714 in 3.2

[krassowski]

Did your #10793 fix that? If yes, I would say we should backport to 3.1.

Yes, #10793 is a fix for #10714 in master and also ported and merged in 3.1.x with #10797

[krassowski]

Thanks! I closed that issue for now to make it clear. I think that 3.2 will just branch off 3.1 so we should not worry about picking up individual PRs that were already backported, but a confirmation from @goanpeca would help here.

[blink1073]

I've created the 3.2.x branch and made an initial alpha release. The PRs below still need manual backports (plus the follow up Galata PRs). I'd like to finish backports and cut a beta early next week. We have three open PRs that are targeting 3.2.x as well, I've pinged the authors on all of them.

Done

• Implemented Restart and debug #10462
• Backport PR #10462 on branch 3.2.x (Implemented Restart and debug) #11129
• Add show trailing whitespace option to Notebook and Text Editor #10632, Fix missing break in switch #10829
• Backport PR #10632 on branch 3.2.x (Add show trailing whitespace option to Notebook and Text Editor #11131
• Change "Export Notebook As" to "Save and Export Notebook As" #10904
• Backport PR #10904 on branch 3.2.x (Change "Export Notebook As" to "Save and Export Notebook As") #11132
• Clean up notebook test utils #11021
• Backport PR #11021 on branch 3.2.x (Clean up notebook test utils) #11133
• Add Side-by-side Rendering #10648
• Backport PR #10648 on branch 3.2.x (Add Side-by-side Rendering) #11143

Needs help

• Allow extensions and users to customize easily toolbar items. #10469 -> Deferred to 4.0
• Galata PRs

[blink1073]

I updated the top level comment and milestone to reflect the new timeline discussed in today's dev meeting.

[blink1073]

The only outstanding items for the RC release next Tuesday (10/5) are:

• Allow extensions and users to customize easily toolbar items. #10469 -> Deferred to 4.0
• Add a menu entry to show/hide hidden files in the filebrowser #10769
• Enable disabling document-wide history tracking #10949

[echarles]

Enable document wide history tracking #10949

#10949 can be removed from 3.2 as it depends on #11035

[blink1073]

Thanks @echarles, I meant to put #10769, updated.

[blink1073]

We had some issues related to webpack in #11218 and #11234 that slowed us down today, I'll make the RC tomorrow.

[blink1073]

Pushing the RC to tomorrow since #11249 will be needed to address upstream changes in openssl
