Hi all, tl;dr: I'd like to cut a yt 3.4 release next week and want to know if anyone has an issue with that. I was a bit optimistic about what would get done at SciPy and unfortunately we were not able to fix all the open issues for 3.4 that week. Since then I've been trying to get the remaining issues squared away so we can cut yt 3.4 ASAP. You can see the issues on the 3.4 milestone here: https://github.com/yt-project/yt/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+milestone%3A3... Currently all of the open issues have open pull requests to address them except for #1268. The pull request for #941 has been open a long time and still needs some work, which I am planning to do this weekend or early next week. I expect the pull requests for the other issues to be merged within the next week. For #1268, I think I'd like to punt on it, since it requires specialized knowledge about the inline yt interface in Enzo and no one has stepped up to work on it. I don't think it makes sense to delay the release on getting that issue fixed. If all that happens, that will leave us with zero open issues against the 3.4 milestone sometime next week. There are a bunch of new features that haven't been in a stable release yet along with a number of big fixes that have come in since yt 3.3.5 and I think we owe it to our contributors to not delay the release any longer than we absolutely need to. I'd like to know if anyone has an issue with getting a 3.4 release out as soon as all of the issues currently marked for 3.4 are merged. I'll volunteer to be the release manager in case there are issues with our release process now that we're on github and will update our release documentation accordingly. If anyone would like to help out that would be very much appreciated, particularly with writing the release notes. That's about it, let me know what you think, Nathan
