• Agenda (moderator)
  • Hyrax 2.1.0 update (tamsin johnson)
    • 2.1.0.rc1 was released last week
    • Going through the pre-release QA process.  Tickets to deal with new bugs are in progress.
    • There's still potential for more bugs to emerge.
      
    • RC2 may be released next week.  Followed by final release late next week or the week after.
    • Tom encouraged people to test on their end.
  • ActiveFedora and Rails 5.2 (Chris Colvard)
    • https://github.com/samvera/active_fedora/pull/1312
    • Rails 5.2 changed the ActiveModel::Dirty API.  This is causing problems with ActiveFedora.
    • Chris would like people to look over his PR.  Other gems like hydra_works are also failing until AF is fixed.
  • Remove relic git tags from Hyrax (leftover from Sufia, right?) We are about to bump into tags for 3.x. (Andrew Myers)
    • Old tags from the Sufia days have been deleted a couple of times, but they keep coming back.
    • People are likely accidentally pushing old tags up when they push a legitimate tag.
    • We will soon need a 3.0 tag for Hyrax, but there's already a 3.0 tag from Sufia.
    • An information campaign might be the best approach to resolve this.
    • We should make sure the Hyrax release process describes how to push tags properly (only one specific tag).
    • Idea: use the gemspec to get the current version and check for tags that are higher than that version.
  • Call for new agenda items (moderator)
• Notetaker and moderator for next time
  
  • Notes: Jim Coble
