Discussion:

• 3.1.8 release prep:
• Larry: do we have an ABI compatibility tester?
• Kimball: I have one, I’ll try it.
• #1403  valid function pointers - Kimball: I pushed something upstream, I’ll follow up.
• #1401 sonarscanner - Christina: I’m trying to figure out how to test it
• Coverage analysis:
• Cary: Kimball, was your coverage report configured as a cmake target? 
• Kimball: No, it’s a wrapper script but I could package it that way. 
• Cary: Please do. Sonarcloud report is wonky sometimes. 
• Cary: Any reason not to include the core performance test? It covers code that’s not covered in the sonarcloud analysis.
• Kimball: I wanted better test images.
• Kimball: Also, I’d like to change the way we’re downloading test images, so it doesn’t download them if they exist already
• Cary: fine by me.
• 3.2/4.0 release:
• Larry: We should cut a 3.2 release with whatever we have by the deadline. 
• Cary: What further changes should go in?
• Kimball: rewrite more of the C++ API to use the core. I’ve done some, but for some reason files are not identical, not sure why.
• Peter: Channel list, image size attributes at the beginning
• ABI compatibility:
• Only change the SO version on major changes
• Would like to get to the point where core and exr libraries don’t change, changes are only in util.
• Peter: plausible that we change the API around the header. That would mean old/new header objects around for backwards compatibility
• Future roadmap, 3-5 years, i.e. what big changes do we anticipate?
• New compression types, but likely backwards compatible
• Proposed changes to the file format to speed up the GPU reading
• Header changes: speed up how files are stored on disk.
