Release Manager

DSC (assigned 2/27/2020)

"owns" release, initiates process, creates tracking page, sends daily status updates, tracks issues to completion, makes sure everyone gets their stuff done, brings decisions to CCB/team, maintains tracking page, collects lessons learned, documents process improvements for next release. Must be reachable and preferably in the office during critical stages like creating and testing RCs.

Build Manager

TDN: Windows

WCS: Mac

DJC/SK: Linux

controls build system, creates RCs, sends RC availability announcements. Must be reachable and preferably in the office during critical stages like creating and testing RCs.

Test Manager

GUI: TR

Script: DSC

control GUI/script testing for each RC.  Must be reachable and preferably in the office during critical stages like creating and testing RCs.

Graphics work behind schedule

OpenFramesInterface v1.0 ready for release with GMAT R2020a.
OFI is documented and has been integrated with GMAT's build and test systems.
Sensor Masks are also documented and all GUI tests are complete.

Update sample scripts

Area Leads

OFI [RM] (23 sample scripts included)

Optimal Control  (9 sample scripts included)

Needed by App Freeze.

• Write examples that demonstrate new functionality

• Clean up all errors and warnings

• Remove deprecated fields

Notes/Questions:  

1. The OFI scripts are stored in the OFI repo, not in the GMAT repo. That's because OFI is an externally maintained and managed project.When GMAT is built, e.g. the windows build machine, it copies the OFI sample scripts into latestcompleteversion. That's how those scripts will be part of the release without being in the GMAT repo.

2. The sample script file names be pre-pended with R2020a.

3. Make sure all the API Folder (and associated sub-folder) sample scripts are updated and run correctly.

4. Starting with R2021a:  For Nav, we will be adding python analysis scripts associated with the EKFS GPS point solution tutorial, to the GMAT releases.  Thus, in addition to the usual GMAT sample scripts, we should be making sure that the non-GMAT scripts, such as these python analysis scripts, also still run correctly.

SPH:  agreed to update TC files for FRR-37.  

RM: OFI GMAT interface reqs captured, and marked as "GUI Test". Per SPH, additional script tests are not needed for the OFI since GUI tests cover all of its interface functionality.

Update data files

DSC

SPH

DSC:  Updated files for R2020a (GMT-7073) for the 3/17/20 build.  The GMAT python utility was used.  Note that one bug in the python utility had to be fixed, GMT-7175.  

Ran RunDateFileTests.m w/o running preparegmat.  Just one error, which from reading the help comments might be OK.  Request SPH concurrence?  Does anything else need to be done?

      SchattenPredict_DistributedSchattenFile [pos err 19.4597, tol 0.01]

Update eopc04_08.62-now and run smoke tests and SPICE .bpc file (SHOULD be moved to App Freeze)

Update Info.plist and RunGMAT as needed

WCS

Need copyright and release number/name at least   - Info_GMAT.plist and RunGMAT updated 2020.03.18

Update test system RunGmat.m if needed

MES

Update for MATLAB version (to default or agreed-upon version) as needed; are other updates needed as well?

MS: MATLAB is set; SNOPT path information is in file, need to run full test with proper version of gfortran.

*** Who is doing this for Linux and PC? They have been done if the tests are running properly. *** 

(DJC)  Linux and Windows do not use a RunGmat file.  That file is Mac specific. 

(WCS) This is the RunGmat.m file in +gmatRunner in the test system, not the script in the Mac bundle.  I suspect linux updates this too - I see it currently pointing to MATLAB 2019 (as it should).

Address issues in Static Analysis results

WCS

Fixed 4 issues (in 3 files)

Update license text

SPH

RM:

Update application/License.txt file.  May be nothing to do since license did not change.

RM: Updated OFI readme containing license info

Update copyright and code headers w/ legal statement

DJC for SPH

RM:

Note: this must be done after CCB has accepted all final changes and we are ready to create RC1.  It requires coordination with the entire team as almost all source code files will be changed. 

This tool makes adding paragraphs and changing headers simple.  http://sourceforge.net/projects/findandreplace/

As of R2020a these directories have files that need updating.

• public\src (hpp, cpp)

• public\plugin (hpp, cpp)

• public/plugin/CInterfacePlugin/matlab

• public\application\matlab\

• internal\code (hpp,cpp)

• Readme file

  Updates for 2011 onwards were needed.  Files that assert copyright outside of the GMAT project were not updated.  Files with no copyright header at all were also not caught (there are at lest some - in the CsaltCWrapper code.  THere is likely more as well.

For R2020a, replace to

// Copyright (c) 2002 - 2018
