Updates:

  • Last night build all complete along with the built of all extensions, that said a glitch related to toggling memory leaks that is specific to Stable build was identified (See issue #6344).

  • This means that a maintenance branch will be created and new tag called v5.0.1 will be published and associated release build will be triggered tonight (in place of our usual preview build).

What about revisions

To ensure revision of potential patch release and on-going development associated with 5.1.0 would compare nicely, we pre-allocated 100 revisions (See PR #6343)

The module updates are not integrated in the stable release, they do upgrade normally in the nightly package. Is there any plans to backport the updates to the stable branch? When shall we expect this feature?

When you say “module updates” what do you refer to? Extension updates? If so, you can update your extension repo hash in the s4ext in the branch of the stable version in ExtensionIndex:

it is there ExtensionsIndex/OpenDose3D.s4ext at 5.0 · Slicer/ExtensionsIndex · GitHub

So I don’t know why the latest changes are not integrated

https://slicer.cdash.org/index.php?project=SlicerStable&date=2022-05-25

^ May 25th 2022 shows the following:

  • Windows: OpenDose started building at 10:53 UTC
  • Linux: OpenDose extension started building at 8:56 UTC
  • macOS: OpenDose extension started building at 23:14 UTC

These all were of OpenDose hash 324ebe4 which matches the current latest at Commits · master-stable · OpenDose / SlicerOpenDose3D · GitLab.

@Alex_Vergara your post yesterday was at 9:11 UTC. It appears you had posted before the extensions builds had fully completed for that day.

The runs from the previous day on May 24th (CDash) had varying git hashes of OpenDose being used because you had committed to Commits · master-stable · OpenDose / SlicerOpenDose3D · GitLab during the middle of the extension builds. The Windows build of OpenDose that day started at 12:08 UTC, but OpenDose hash 324ebe4 wasn’t committed until 13:19 UTC. While the macOS build of OpenDose did have hash 324ebe4 because it started at 21:42 UTC.
