[cjdg]

On Ubuntu 23.04, cannot install libopenal-dev, libopenal1 (= 1:1.19.1-2build3) pero 1:1.22.2-0ubuntu1~22.04.sav0 cannot be installed

[ofTheo]

hmm that's strange @cjdg - I can see it here:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/lunar/+package/libopenal-dev

did you try:
sudo apt-get upgrade

to upgrade the packages on your system?

sometimes I find aptitude can handle these installs better.

sudo apt-get install aptitude
sudo aptitude install libopenal-dev 

[artificiel]

on my list:

misc #7620 #7621 #6939 #7565 #7271 #7031 #7122
install from GitHub streamline #7606 + #7607 + #7609
deprecate cleanup #1550
default to release #1022

also revisit #7352

(also: can close #7016 #1748 #1966 #7414 #7517)

[dimitre]

This one is a personal favorite to be discussed and maybe solved

• ofSetColor(ofFloatColor) down-samples back to 8 bit #5421

[dimitre]

One thing to plan for next release is if it will be compatible for c++14 or c++11 yet.
I think it is good ot make another release backwards compatible before start incorporating c++17 exclusive on the core.
This way we can get @danoli3 huge PR goodies in macOS 10.14 or earlier. what do you think ?

[ofTheo]

I'm leaning towards c++17 only for the next release, with no boost.
Apothecary has sucked up so much time for me and for others - the smaller the dependency list the better.

For OF we have always tried to support the last three versions of macOS and so that would be macOS 13, 12, 11 now.
10.14 is really out of date at this point.

People can also use 0.12.0 if they need < c++17.
Are you still on 10.14 @dimitre ? 🙂

Edit: that said maybe next release is 0.13.0 and 0.12.1 is a patch-fix release only if needed.

[artificiel]

I'm a bit confused I was under the impression that 0.12 was C++17 (namely std::filesystem, and also some constructs).

In any case i agree that moving forward is the correct course of action, but it would be preemptive vs "long term support" good to document an upfront compatibility list, matching OF "epochs" to OS versions.

I don't know about other platforms -- no windows, and on the linux side I'm with arch which is rolling and does not have a concept of version.

[ofTheo]

@artificiel that is correct but it does currently rollback to C++11 / 14 and uses boosts filesystem if C++17 filesystem is not available.

See: https://github.com/openframeworks/openFrameworks/blob/master/libs/openFrameworks/utils/ofConstants.h#L487

If we dropped boost from apothecary / OF then we would be saying you have to have full C++17 in your compiler to build going forward.

[danoli3]

Awesome yes yes! Okay deployment time, I'll summon the merge this week

[NickHardeman]

This one is a personal favorite to be discussed and maybe solved

• ofSetColor(ofFloatColor) down-samples back to 8 bit #5421

@dimitre Yes! I can add this to my list. :) Would love some more input on how ofSetColor(int c); should be handled.

[Jonathhhan]

Maybe implement webMIDI for Emscripten?
#7259
Its already working, but I guess my implementation is not perfect ;)

[dimitre]

We can assign open issues from older milestones too, if they are pertinent to this release
