Development meeting needed to plan strict memory limit adherence
Release naming convention change - discussion cut short last week

Stay tuned for exercise to go through and update 5.6 python task wrappers to be 2.7/3.6 compliant

Verification
mstransform_subset getting in the framework
Getting refimager running in parallel (involves doing new test suite and some test reorganization)
Jupityr notebook casaguide conversion work
polcal test under development
Neal will be in Socorro to learn more about calibration
Validation
Kana: status of tickets moving to PIPE?
Under Validation (issues remaining in validation for CASA 5.5)
BLOCKER CAS-11191 tclean mosaic gridder should be able to use VLA POINTING table properly averaging over visibility integration time (related to CAS-12223)
BLOCKER CAS-9108 Linear basis-specific 'Xf' (multi-scan) improvements (and several related polarization tickets) (merging now, need to check on docs/future tickets)
BLOCKER CAS-7210 (CAS-4640) Connect imaging weight gridder ( TCLEAN producing arc-like noise patterns when imaging small chunks of data when robust<1 )
BLOCKER CAS-11868 Fix mosweight=True to use less memory
BLOCKER CAS-12363 cannot run imhead/imstat more than once on an image in casa-prerelease
CAS-8619 Turn im.apparentsens into a CASA task -- almost done
CAS-11460 im.apparentsens to use the regular channel selection syntax -- almost done
CAS-8087 Support plotting pointing direction (R.A.-Dec.) by plotms
CAS-12168 L1 and outlier rejection implementation (merging now, need to check on docs/future tickets)
CAS-10593 Make component list prediction with beam use frequency variation -- just needs doc updates, Kumar is on it
George's two tickets for cal library fixes, CAS-12237 and CAS-12280 -- 12237 is validated, 12280 is being tested by Todd
not yet ready to validate but still needed in 5.5:
CAS-11367 modify test_refimager to also run in parallel when an mpi cluster is available -- validation done on prerelease for changes in CASA code, some tests still failing? (Tak will turn off failing tests, okay for 5.5)
CAS-12368 add depreciation warning to clean
and from search of JIRA for 5.5 blockers not above or closed:
CAS-12302 Updating XML files of CASA tasks
pointing tables for awproject, Preshanth to do, not yet in a CAS ticket (?), CAS-7727? (go to 5.6?)
