18:06 Krock Meeting time. jwmhjwmh Zughy[m] sfan5 nrz
18:06 Krock https://dev.minetest.net/Meetings#2022-12-04
18:06 Krock (waiting a few minutes for activity ramp-up)
18:06 Baytuch joined #minetest-dev
18:10 Krock > 5.7 release when? (Zughy)
18:11 Krock the milestone is set to January 3, which is on a rather good track
18:11 rubenwardy yeah, I won't be available over christmas. Early jan is a good bed
18:11 rubenwardy *bet
18:12 Krock to see whether this date is realistic, it might make sense to look at new issues when the arrive and assign them with an appropriate tag if needed
18:12 sfan5 it'll probably be later january, we'll see
18:12 sfan5 also I might have to leave in a bit
18:13 Krock so far there's no urgent bugs in the milestone, which is a good sign :)
18:14 Krock Zughy[m]: is this answer sufficient for you?
18:14 rubenwardy _yet_
18:15 Krock right
18:20 jwmhjwmh > we should decide on the new roadmap (sfan5)
18:21 Krock https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/12746#issuecomment-1315569363
18:21 Krock https://github.com/minetest/minetest/blob/master/doc/direction.md
18:22 Krock from what I can see, the only thing that's changed is that transparency sorting is now fixed
18:23 rubenwardy there's also the deferred pipeline and lots of changes to graphics
18:23 Krock and I believe it should be kept in a similar fashion. there's no one employed to actually follow that and people implement what they think is best
18:23 rubenwardy discussing a new roadmap before discussing how the current one went is a bad idea imo
18:24 Krock right. it's yet again a wishlist that yields no progress on its own
18:24 rubenwardy I think the graphics goal was quite successful, but is still ongoing. I'd like to see a new particle system and irrlicht merged into Minetest
18:24 rubenwardy The other goals were meh. There were improvements to UI, but not as much as I wanted
18:25 rubenwardy the Object/Entity goal was a disaster, basically 0 progress there
18:26 Krock though there were a few collision fixes
18:31 Krock celeron55: it appears that your VPS is having troubles again. c55.me/blog/?p=1491 is not reachable on my side
18:31 MTDiscord <ROllerozxa> c55.me has been dead for a long time now
18:32 Krock okay. one more thing to update in direction.md
18:33 Krock with this many people active I don't think it makes sense to discuss roadmap matters further. Though I could propose a generic maintenance PR for the document if that's wanted
18:34 rubenwardy the idea of the issue is to choose new goals (or keep the same goals) for the next few releases
18:35 rubenwardy that needs to be preceeded by a post mortem though, to work out why so few of the goals were successful
18:35 Krock work out why? because people implement what they prefer
18:36 Krock or fix issues they are upset with. entities, collisions and particles work relatively well, hence nobody really cares
18:36 rubenwardy particles barely work, more than a thousand and it craps out
18:37 rubenwardy rendering particles one by one isn't scalable
18:37 Krock but at least we can animate them now /s
18:37 rubenwardy haha yeah
18:38 rubenwardy maybe instead of asking what people want, we should also ask what they're willing to review or work on
18:38 Krock just "work on" priorities because "review" will again be the same wish list
18:42 Krock okay. I'll propose a PR
18:43 Krock > Lack of main direction: We suck at this. Short suggestion below.
18:43 Krock quote from c55's blog entry
19:11 Krock > "Dual wielding"
19:12 Krock is there any volunteer to adopt this PR?
19:13 MTDiscord <Jonathon> @j45 ^
19:14 Krock suggestion: remove the new hand item handling and keep the dual-wield limited to display purposes
19:14 Krock this is the most conservative approach and unlikely to break mods
19:15 Krock oh. it seems that the adoption is no longer needed. the author appeared.
19:17 Krock no activity here. I'll move the leftover topics to the next meeting. maybe they'll be resolved by then
19:20 rubenwardy Dual wielding -> Elias is back
19:20 rubenwardy oh you just said that
19:20 Krock
20:01 Desour joined #minetest-dev
21:01 Taoki joined #minetest-dev
21:08 MTDiscord <Fleckenstein> im no longer called Elias btw (I'm Lizzy), but I don't want to change my github handle to avoid breakage
21:08 MTDiscord <Fleckenstein> im somewhat busy currently so i might take a few weeks to work on the Dual Wielding PR
21:08 MTDiscord <Fleckenstein> but it is on my todo list currently
21:09 Fleckenstein joined #minetest-dev
21:10 rubenwardy oh sorry
21:10 rubenwardy github automatically redirects now so it will probably be fine?
21:10 Desour changing github name doesn't cause much breakage
21:10 Desour or any at all
21:11 Desour (at least for me it didn't)
21:13 MTDiscord <Fleckenstein> It might work, I'm still unsure whether I want to trust that everything will work fine
21:13 MTDiscord <Fleckenstein> for example I also use github sign in on Mesehub - will that be able to correctly handle it?
21:14 Desour idk, I don't think I signed in anywhere with github back then
21:15 MTDiscord <Fleckenstein> I'd very much prefer if the display name was actually the one being displayed in issues/PRs etc. instead of the handle
21:16 MTDiscord <Fleckenstein> the possible unintended side effects are documented here: https://docs.github.com/en/account-and-profile/setting-up-and-managing-your-personal-account-on-github/managing-personal-account-settings/changing-your-github-username
