Bug in Cycle 5 non-square mosiacs - some re-processing required, investigation ongoing
New Lustre file system is much slower than old - fsync() calls in casacore at least partially to blame
Only affects new lustre at CV
No easy SW fix
Development
5.4 development (should be) complete - branch imminent (not a release branch)
Pipeline and JAO integration bug fixes will go in to branch
Final ALMA release 5.4.0 will occur after JAO completes testing (~ September)
VLA/VLASS release 5.4.1 TBD when they are ready - several additional requirements/development going in to this one
5.5 development cycle starting now
Will set up new Confluence page
Send development item ideas to Ryan
Stakeholder meetings and science requirements will be delayed another ~3 weeks
Will use interim time for CASA 6 work and design inspections
Pipeline
Need to decide whent to branch.
The final VLASS blocker (RFI flagging heuristics) is in. Updated after the meeting. B Kent reported an issue in weblog. So it is not quite ready yet, but I believe it is close.
ALMA still has some tweaks
most of the tclean and performance issues are in managable level (?)
The warnings summary seems to be frozen since March.
Who is responsible for importuvfits? New ticket CAS-11726

Reported status and requirements for user defined ephemeris tracking and partial Sun observations in Cycle 7 ( CASR-295, SCIREQ-1112)
developments
Turn of high frequency band QA warning for Band 8 data ( CAS-11721): switched off the QA for Band 8.
changing phasesnr threshold in spwphaseup ( CAS-11717): done
"208.82% flagged message" ( CAS-11713): could not reproduce
adding achieved RMS to aquareport ( CAS-11175): export of RMS of all images succeeded. Need to tweak XML tag and filtering by representative source and spw.
Duration of task execution time in weblog ( CAS-9718): modification done. waiting for feedback by PWG.
Updating flag template preamble ( CAS-11382): ready for modification but the proposal from PWG looked too long for examples in preamble. Suggested to make it shorter.
Some vulnability but with my mistake were discoverd with G-Test result.
Internal paths were clarified, by exception throw routes and resulted value.
Coding Google-Test Programme (In progress)
Testing Constructor() by G-Test on new design. (Mostly done, upating)
Testing selectData() function by G-Test code by using picked up MS. (80% done)
Coding MS Table/Column data modifying function (Challenging in progress)
MS table manupilation of table/column/vaiours type of primitive data , strictly follwing casacore programming reference to know more about MS, hopefuly more about Low-Level IO..
