ET release ==========

* freeze postponed by a week * Cottonmouth: some updates, will need to recreated code once more

CapyrX ------

* issues on outer boundary suggest * desire to produce a waveform * Steve raised the question whether this means CapyrX should be included or no * Zach argues that the alternative, waiting a year, is quite bad * Roland mentioned the idea of point release that would include only those changes * this will need spelling out what is actually meant by a "point release" * in the call it was decided to postpone inclusion of CapyrX in 2026_05, but make an effort to include all infrastructure changes to CarpetX.

CanudaX -------

* Lucas handed review report to Cheng-Hsin * change requests are dead-code removal, missing license, and similar but no actual code changes

ET_BHaHAHAH -----------

* Peter ran some tests, requires changes for utilities * Zach added a single spinning black hole test case * bugfix found by Thiago Assumpção, Zach is verifying and added fix * will need to add `module load python` to clusters * Zach will remove the offending code bit

BHNS Gallery example --------------------

* all done

Boost -----

* included, no known issues yet

TwoPuncturesX -------------

* Steve noticed that TwoPuncturesX has non-trivial modifications compared to TwoPunctures * multiple issues exist with these multiple (3-4) copies of TwoPunctures, making keeping them all in sync difficult * Steve came up with a way of creating a single source 'library' version that could support all of these, at least TwoPunctures(X) though

ET summer school ================

* registration for in person attendance closes tomorrow, it is suggested to send out a reminder

TOVola ======

* Zach has taken over maintainership * code is now in EinsteinInitialData repository * is fixing bugs, which may address the observed test failures
