Discuss what exactly to include in patch release 5.12.4 besides the fixes in Slicer#9386

[pieper (Steve Pieper (Isomics, Inc.))]

I think we should discuss our plan for working with pending extension contributions.

Notes from today’s meeting:

5.12.4 patch

Destructive uninstaller! Needs to be patched with BUG: Fix Windows installer file associations and unsafe uninstall by lassoan · Pull Request #9386 · Slicer/Slicer · GitHub
What else could we include, since we are going through the effort of a patch release across platforms?

Bug PRs since 5.12.3 that address pre-5.12 bugs:

Agreed by Ebrahim & Andras:

• #9274 Respect locked ROI control points during scaling
• #9292 Islands effect clears the whole segment with editable-area masking
• #9320 Resume OpenXR rendering after removing/replacing the headset
• #9329 Keep 3D picking fast with large surfaces - bit of a larger implementation, but makes a big difference so perhaps worth including
• #9334 Crash with only one view in the layout
• #9335 Apply slice intersection thickness to planar contour points
• #9386 Windows installer file associations and unsafe uninstall
• #9384 Update grid transforms before returning their arrays
• #9175 Preserve markups plane normal display settings
• #9376 Fix invalid single-step warnings in the scalars display widget
• #9373 Report extension package download failures

Agreed to skip by Ebrahim & Andras

• #9309 Fix quit/save dialog issues → not a full fix, maybe Qt6 issue only?

Proposed by Andras:

• #9304 BUG: Apply pending layout when the layout manager is enabled
• #9296 BUG: Fix editing of segment opacity by double-click in segments table
• #9299 BUG: Show normal cursor in message boxes displayed with a wait cursor

Github actions work (Kyle)

Experimenting with multi-step workflows in which intermediate re-usable artifacts are published by each step for later steps to use, getting around the github time limit for individual jobs.

We may still have to consider overall github limits.

Issue posted to track these efforts (to be edited).
