Quick Recap

The team discussed the status of various features and PRs for the upcoming browser 2.1 release, focusing on which items to include and which to postpone. They decided to postpone several items, including cache optimization, Amazon Linux support, and custom URL schemes documentation, due to various issues and the desire to avoid potential bugs during the KubeCon conference. The team also reviewed a PR for Shadow Sync, noting some cosmetic improvements that were being worked on. They addressed some GitHub networking errors that had been causing issues. The conversation ended with a brief discussion of upcoming tasks and the next meeting date of April 16th.

Next Steps

• Jan: Update documentation for custom URL schemes by the weekend
• Ansuman: Push the cosmetic change to the Shadow Sync PR to improve the "no changes" output
• Akihiro: Reach out (presumably to release 2.1) today or by Tuesday
• All: Merge the Shadow Sync PR once tests are green and changes are pushed

Summary

Version 2.1 Release Updates Discussion:
Akihiro and Jan discussed updates for version 2.1 release, focusing on non-critical items that could be postponed. Jan recommended dropping the cost per multiplication feature in the MCP tools due to several issues identified during a review three weeks prior. They also discussed a PR for cash functionality, which Jan noted had some remaining issues but was not critical for the 2.1 release. Both agreed to postpone these items to ensure a smooth KubeCon experience.

Caching Feature Postponement Discussion:
Jan and Akihiro discussed postponing caching improvements due to a bug in the cache optimization. Akihiro suggested postponing the feature to production 2.1 or 2.2, which Ansuman agreed to. They also discussed including documentation for custom URL schemes in version 2.1, with Jan committing to complete it by the weekend.

Pull Request Review Discussion:
Jan and Akihiro discussed a pull request from a user with minimal GitHub activity, deciding to postpone it due to concerns about the user's engagement. Jan also reviewed a Shadow Sync PR, approving it with a suggestion to remove unnecessary headers when there are no changes. Ansuman confirmed they were working on implementing the suggested change.

GitHub Networking Issues Discussion:
The team discussed ongoing GitHub networking errors affecting PRs and link checking processes, which Jan noted are recurring issues at Azure. Akihiro outlined upcoming tasks including fixing documentation for custom URL schemes and output-related issues. The next meeting was scheduled for April 16th, with no additional agenda items raised by other participants.

Corrections:

• Shadow Sync → limactl shell --sync
• Reach out (presumably to release 2.1) today or by Tuesday → RC today, GA on Monday, or Tuesday in the worst case
• cash → cache
