 === Action Items ===
- * TBD
+ * Greg or Conrad - Look into putting build numbers on auto-generated download web page.
 
 === Items ===
  1. Release 1.4 status
+  - We reviewed Trac issues that were labeled with "Release 1.4" milestone.  Most of these were relegated to release 1.5.  TomG will look into the focal plane problem that causes screen to blank unexpectedly.  Greg will collect more information about row-interleaved stereo vs. older Mac platforms and update documentation.  Conrad will look into Blast Protein bug reports.
  1. PDB TURN records
+  - Eric's suggestion was unanimously accepted.  All references to TURN (now that it's no longer in the PDB 3.0 specification) will be removed and a new selector "coil" will be added for non-helix, non-sheet residues.
  1. Putting version numbers in download file names
+  - It was agreed that we will not add the build number to the file name itself.  The date is already a reasonable indicator for daily builds, since Chimera changes just about every day; and production releases do not change unless their version number change.  We will try to put the build number in the download page text.
  1. Release 1.5 plan
+  - A shorter period between release 1.4 and 1.5 is desirable.  The main focus of 1.5 will be infrastructure, in particular 64-bit builds on Mac and Windows.  TomG and Greg will lead the investigation of Tk Cocoa, which is required for the Mac 64-bit build.  Greg has already looked at upgrading to Python 2.6.x using MS Visual Studio 2008 for 64-bit Windows.  Greg will revisit the port and identify problems encountered.
