Sounds good. It would be nice to get my latest TNG version patch
in there, but it's on master, so perhaps it's already planned.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>

<div>Sorry for quietness on the management front, I've had a
bunch of non-code tasks lately. We're a few weeks behind on my
original timeline for 5.1-beta1. Various people had expressed
hopes of putting code on gerrit, but few things have actually
appeared, so I think we should pretty much regard the feature
stuff on gerrit now as the maximum extent of 5.1. There's
still a bunch of dead / experimental patches on gerrit that
won't make the 5.1 cut, of course. Please speak up super-fast
if that's a problem - you should have had code in gerrit a
month and more ago!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So I plan to roll 5.1-beta1 from master HEAD on Friday, and
branch release-5-1 and Jenkins infrastructure at that time.
Per my original suggestion, release-5-1 will be open for
"feature"-type content for a few weeks while we deal with
remaining code review of things currently on master. Once we
release 5.1-rc1 (perhaps after another beta if appropriate)
then features are frozen. The gerrit cherry-pick feature
should be good for people to make clear that they are
proposing a "feature" patch for release-5-1.</div>
<div><br>

<div>I'd like to see a couple more of the new Sphinx-based docs
commits at <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://gerrit.gromacs.org/#/q/status:open+project:gromacs+branch:master+topic:docs">https://gerrit.gromacs.org/#/q/status:open+project:gromacs+branch:master+topic:docs</a>
get merged, so that we can invite users to give feedback or
contribute docs.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It would be great for our colleagues at StreamComputing if
we get their OpenCL work out to the world in the first beta; I
know Berk has given some feedback but is basically OK with the
commit. Szilard has a few outstanding questions we can
probably resolve quickly. I have a reservation about whether
using more than one Nvidia GPU works, but since that is in any
case not a useful configuration for performance, we can hack a
temporary fatal error in front of that and ship something
usable.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Szilard's CUDA work needs to get in, but the remaining
issues there are minor, I think.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Berk's halo-decomposition is not yet clearly useful (right,
Berk?) so perhaps we will leave that on the shelf for now.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Erik's SIMD support patches need one more reviewer. It
would be nice to be able to say to hardware devs that we
already have preliminary support in released code when
early-phase testing is on the cards.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Happy hacking!</div>
