Discussion

Releasing 1.3.1

Grouper 1.3.1 RC1 has been out for a few weeks. TomZ reported that 
U. Memphis found a circular membership issue while using RC1. 
Shilen has assigned that issue to 1.4 (GRP 168): https://bugs.internet2.edu/jira/browse/GRP-168

The group agreed that Grouper 1.3.1 is essentially ready for release. 
Gary will update documentation on the XML membership export issue (GRP 166).
Gary will then tag the files, and TomB and SteveO will do final bundling for the release.  

 

Grouper 1.4.0 Status

 

To provide more breathing room for the work for Grouper 1.4, it 
was decided to schedule the 1.4 release for Nov. 1, rather than in mid-Oct.

 

Major JIRA issues for 1.4 include
https://bugs.internet2.edu/jira/browse/GRP-86 (checkout and build process)

 

 

The group decided to postpone any action on depths unless they become a problem:

 

Concerning circular memberships,
TomZ gave an example of the need for “circular membership”: 
an instructor teaches course A and course B and this instructor 
wants all mail sent to A to go to both and B to go to both.  
Chris and Shilen agreed that for such cases — in the interest of less bloating 
to the membership table — group A does not need to be an 
effective or indirect member of group A.

 

TomZ stressed that we should make a note somewhere regarding outstanding issues 
that result in incorrect memberships. The Bad Membership Finder Utility 
identifies these problems, and TomZ has been trying to find what is causing 
them. Shilen will work with TomZ on such issues.

 

[AI] (TomZ) will record membership problems discovered at U. Memphis as Jira items.

Subject API

Chris has made some changes to the subject API and he will increment the version. 
[AI] (Chris) will increase the version of Subject API to 0.4
