  3. Evergreen release info (kmlussier, 13:33:16)
    1. 2.5 RC1 is uploaded. Release notes will be uploaded shortly. (kmlussier, 13:36:20)
    2. AGREED: dbwells will pull back RC1 and incorporate memory leak patches. Sign-off from other testers will be appreciated. (kmlussier, 13:46:22)

  4. Update on OmniTI Performance Work (kmlussier, 13:49:24)
    1. OmniTI began its performance evaluation for Evergreen last month. As most of you have seen, depesz has been looking at the longest-running queries from the C/W MARS server and finding ways to optimize them. (kmlussier, 13:49:45)
    2. They will be taking a different approach to the staff client evaluation than originally planned. With the consensus last month to move away from XULRunner and towards a web-based client, it didn't make sense to evaluate the viability of continuing with XULRunner. (kmlussier, 13:50:05)
    3. Instead, jsime has been looking at the way the client is communicating with the backend to determine if there are ways this communication can be optimized when moving to a web-based client. (kmlussier, 13:50:29)

  5. Discuss freezing of master during beta/RC phase (kmlussier, 13:58:19)
    1. AGREED: There will be no version branch until x.x.0 is tagged. There will be a feature freeze for master between beta and x.x.0. (kmlussier, 14:06:52)
