Build, Release, Testing
CASA 4.2.1 Release on OSX
Pre-release testing results by Juergen.
Plotms and other applications seems to work well, but viewer is somewhat unstable.
Punch list of automated tests to be resolved. Scott identifying which tests can be run headless. Will ask for assistance from team once they are identified.
Darrell & Susan on Viewer. OSX 10.7 machine to be given to Susan for direct debugging.
Darrell & Susan would like to merge the trunk fixes to the branch. Some crashes and issues may already be addressed in the trunk. Some new issues identified may also be cross-platform.
Will need to merge trunk changes from trunk to both 4.2.1 and 4.2.2.
Given codebase change, OSX 4.2.1 should likely have a additional decimal to differentiate from the RHEL 4.2.1 release.
Additional testing by Juergen (Dev. environment & 10.8) to focus debugging effort.
