We are sitting at 20 open PRs with the 1.3.0 milestone:  https://github.com/scipy/scipy/pulls?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Apr+milestone%3A1.3.0

We were close to 30 recently, so let's try to keep it < 20 over the weekend / moving into next week.

Hi Tyler,

Thanks again for taking on the release management.

Is there anything that we (as contributors) can do to help? Should we be reviewing the 1.3.0 milestone PR's? What would be most helpful specifically?

Help with reviewing can be a very valuable contribution, not just for a particular release but in general. I think many contributors are under the impression that you need to be a maintainer to review - this definitely isn't the case, as long as you have the knowledge to understand the code in a PR you can help a lot. In particular this is the case for larger PRs that propose new features, because those are often a lot of work to review and require domain-specific knowledge. Here is an example (also tagged for 1.3.0): https://github.com/scipy/scipy/pull/7310, adding a logarithmic FFT implementation. Two kinds of things would be helpful:
- someone who understands FFTs well and can review the implementation
- someone who needs the feature, and can test it and confirm that everything works as expected

A couple more in the same vein:
- peak declustering for scipy.signal: https://github.com/scipy/scipy/pull/9513
- RotationSpline for scipy.spatial.transform: https://github.com/scipy/scipy/pull/9831
- support for ARFF relational attributes in scipy.io: https://github.com/scipy/scipy/pull/9854

Cheers,
Ralf


I read through the dev guide (https://docs.scipy.org/doc/scipy/reference/dev/index.html) and hacking guidelines (https://docs.scipy.org/doc/scipy/reference/hacking.html), and I looked at the 1.3.0 milestones, and it seems like reviewing PR's with the fewest comments might be the best approach. Would that help?

Cheers,
Mark

I'd like to get #10026 in there, too. SuiteSparse seems to routinely speed up `linprog` by a factor of 2-4 (when available).

Hi Tyler,

Thanks for managing the release again! This is a very important service for the SciPy community, and I'm very grateful!

Do you think we could try to add #9568 and #10052 assuming everyone agrees they are good?

thanks again!
Mark

Would it be possible to add 9990 and 10002 to 1.3.0, or is that too ambitious?

Those look like they're in good shape, should be doable. I've added them to the milestone. Tyler can always remove them again if we run out of time.

Hi All,

It is almost 4 months after the (slightly-delayed) 1.2.0 release on December 17/ 2018, so probably time to plan the 1.3.0 release. It would be a good idea to look over the PRs with a 1.3.0 milestone, and tag anything else that should have this milestone appropriately.

I'd like to propose the following schedule:

April 25: branch 1.3.x
April 28: rc1
May 11: rc2 (if needed)
May 20: final release

Thoughts?

That works for me. There may be a few items in https://github.com/scipy/scipy/milestone/37 that we won't get to, but the only real blocker (py37 build issue) on that list is ready to merge.

Cheers,
Ralf
