Agenda

Present:

Apologies:

CW: Should we release 2025.4.3?

Hear me out. When we make new releases of UFL, pyadjoint, FIAT etc then 2025.4.2 will break because we do not constrain their versions (eg). Users know that we will stop maintaining 2025.4.x when we release 2025.10.0, but this will soften the transition.

Merge PRs
