Re: [yt-dev] What needs to be done for a 3.3 release?

Hi Nathan, (I'll reply to Andrew a bit later once I've thought it over.) I'd strongly campaign against unifying the two scripts right now, if ever. I don't like that we have two either, but I don't think we should make this part of the 3.3 release cycle, just because it's yet another major potential disruption. It would be nice to work out a way to migrate nicely to conda, but maybe we should hold off until we have infrastructure in place for our own conda package builds?

Dear yt developers,

yt version 3.2 was released back in July of 2014. Since then, there have a been a number of cool new features added (good work, everyone!), and it would be nice to get them into a stable release. However, there are a few major things that need to be done before that can happen. First, there are a number of outstanding issues related to the volume render refactor that need to be addressed before 3.3 can be released. Additionally, version 3.3 will include unstructured mesh visualization support, and there is some more work Matt and I need to do before that is ready. Other than those things, though, is there anything I'm leaving out that people want to get in before version 3.3 is released?

I would like to see the install script situation resolved. In particular, I think get_yt.sh and install_script.sh should be merged, and users should be able to choose at install time whether or not they want a source-based install or a miniconda-based install.

...

Thanks for your time, Andrew
