07:09 MTDiscord  <jordan4ibanez> How does the core dev team about a very gradual replacement of irr_pointer with std::unique_ptr and std::shared_ptr, variable by variable. Working from the minetest/minetest project until minetest/irrlicht can be worked on?
08:05 sfan5      irr_ptr is for interacting with irrlicht's IReferenceCounted, I don't think a gradual replacement is possible. you'd need to touch everything at once (esp. the gui code)
08:31 MTDiscord  <jordan4ibanez> Yeah, I'm trying my best
12:13 MTDiscord  <.niklp> sorry for asking again, but it would be very nice if the mtg repo could get a 5.8.0 tag (and shouldn't cdb get a mtg update too?)
12:15 ROllerozxa yes, I'm unsure why this hasn't been done. I could make a new release for MTG on CDB myself but I'd want to wait until a tag has been made

20:31 MTDiscord  <mistere_123> Can we has the async lua mapgen environment?
20:44 MTDiscord  <mistere_123> Also can we has https://github.com/minetest/minetest/pull/13987
20:54 sfan5      async mapgen is not ready
20:54 sfan5      missing a genericaziation of gennotify
20:55 sfan5      maybe I have time to work on it next week
20:55 MTDiscord  <luatic> sfan5 what's the plan going forward for MTG releases? rolling? should we create a 5.8 release?
21:00 sfan5      5.8 yes
21:00 sfan5      in the future rolling sounds ok to me but some Q: what will be the version number? won't mtg have to be come more compatible with diff. engine versions?
21:02 MTDiscord  <luatic> I think there will rarely be a need to break compatibility with older engine versions while we are in feature freeze
21:05 MTDiscord  <wsor4035> late to the subject of things for 5.9, would it make sense to enable sdl2 by default now, so that more bugs get reported/fixed?
22:49 MTDiscord  <jordan4ibanez> sfant: I think you should make it the opposite, it's only compatible with it's version number. And we can call it something kind of cool like v580-12-8-23-0 which will tell you the engine number, the date, and the build of that date in case there are multiple prs that go in on that date so you can line up to a really specific version
