Thanks to everyone who got the tests in the green!
Last one failing on RH: pipeline test
Discussed with Darrel and Ville about hardware needs for testing:
Additional OSX machines are needed
Replace warp with new hardware to run automated builds and smoke tests under RH 6 and RH 7
Validation Testing
Architecture
Technical Forums:
Crash Reporter is in progress, probably based on google breakpad.
HPC
Work is in progress on several items: new separation axis in partition to support single-dish MMS; changes to mpi4casa; adapting alma-m100 regression to use tclean; changes in MMS structure
We plan to have a telecon in 2 weeks.

CASA 4.5.1 / pipeline C3R4 released just before Christmas
CASA 4.6 test tarball, repackaging causes import errors

Need input from Jeff and George on CAS-7890, the new baseline/antenna axis in partition to support single-dish MS.
The MMS structure needs a change. The subtables of the subMSs need to be symbolic links to the first subMS to avoid inconsistencies in the MMS if any sequential tool modifies a subtable later. But this is showing problems with setjy, which edits the SOURCE table even when usescratch=True. Task setjy only runs in parallel if usescratch=True, but even in this case, the Imager::open method tries to remove any OTF model in the SOURCE table. This causes a deadlock in some of the MPI Servers that open the MS. Work is in progress....
Discussions with Julian on the I/O Performance project implementation plan.
Lindsey Davis
reviewed status of interferometry pipeline jira tickets
implemented support for simple calibrator source models (reference frequency, stokes parameters, spectral index) in interferometry tasks
cleaned up pipeline setjy task, implemented a more general setmodels task
discussed proposed frequency selection syntax changes with Sanjay (before Christmas)
discussed ms selection framework changes with Sanjay and Pam (before Christmas), pipeline use ms tool iterator
discussed calibrator model issues with George, specifically smodel parameter in bandpass and point source model setter in cb tool

CAS-7320 RTT- Support MS Selection by FEED
Created github account, pull request for MSFeedSelection branch
Parser uses flex/bison, selection string is a simplified form of antenna selection: [!]FEED[<OP>[FEED]] where FEED is a single INT (index), list, or range; and OP is '&', '&&' or '&&&' similar to cross/auto-correlation with antenna IDs
CAS-8231 - Add MS Feed selection to plotms - code ready to go when MS Feed selection added to NRAO casacore
CAS-8050: Remove obsolete MS selection frameworks (MSSelector) - in progress
This class is not only for selection but also for iteration and data I/O via Records
Used in low-level MSLister, MSSummary, MSRange, and MSFlagger (casacore); high-level MSContinuumSubtractor (code) and ms tool (gcwrap)
Need to discuss "Remove" with Jeff w.r.t backwards-compatibility discussion with Jim about changing code in casacore
Created personal git repo for casa code

(CAS-8208) imregrid allocates more memory than available: RTT. Should now be fixed.
(CAS-8218) imstat Returns Intensity In Place Of Flux. Investigated. Not a bug as far as I can tell.
(CAS-8229) ia.pad() does not mask properly: RTT. Should now be fixed.
