href="mailto:rlancaste@gmail.com">rlancaste@gmail.com</a>&gt;:</div><br><div><div><div>Hi \
Wolfgang,</div><div><br></div><div>So I just want to clarify something you said here, there are a couple \
of parallel things and that can be a little confusing, so I just want to make sure we are talking about \
the same things.&nbsp; The cause of the confusion is the terminology that <a \
href="http://astrometry.net/">astrometry.net</a>&nbsp;uses</div><div><br></div><div>1.&nbsp;Load all \
Indexes in Memory /&nbsp;Load all indexes in Parallel.&nbsp; This is the inParallel option for <a \
href="http://astrometry.net/">astrometry.net</a>. &nbsp; In the options I tried to call this "Load all \
Indexes in Memory" to attempt to avoid the confusion with the Parallel Algorithm.&nbsp; This has nothing \
to do with parallelization in different threads or processors.&nbsp; It has to do with memory \
management.&nbsp; The <a href="http://astrometry.net/">astrometry.net</a>&nbsp;solver can load the \
indexes and search them one after the other, or it can try to load all the indexes at once and then \
solve.&nbsp; The second option is much much faster, but comes with risk. &nbsp;<a \
href="http://astrometry.net/">astrometry.net</a>&nbsp;does NOT check to see if it has enough RAM before \
it tries to solve, &nbsp;They have big warnings in the documentation about using this option.&nbsp; If \
you don't have enough RAM, it could use all the RAM and crash.</div><div><br></div><div>I programmed \
StellarSolver to check the available RAM prior to starting the solve.&nbsp; If there is not enough RAM, \
it is supposed to turn off the option.&nbsp; The user can also disable the option entirely, so that there \
is never a problem.&nbsp; But you really do want the option turned on if your system can handle it.&nbsp; \
We had some issues earlier about the RAM calculation.&nbsp; I think the "inParallel" option causes the \
greatest crash risk.&nbsp; I would really like it if somebody could look over the code for determining \
enough RAM and see if it is good now.&nbsp; One thought that I have is that we can make the calculation \
more conservative and we could change the option to have 3 choices, Auto, on, or off.&nbsp; So that if a \
user is really brave, or convinced they have enough RAM for sure, they could turn the option on \
regardless of the risk, If they are risk averse, they could turn it off, but most users could just leave \
it on auto.&nbsp; What do you think?</div><div><br></div><div>2. Parallelization Algorithm for solving. \
&nbsp;&nbsp;I am assuming this second option is what you meant in your email. &nbsp;This one is entirely \
of my creation and is what makes StellarSolver stellar.&nbsp; Modern computers really have great capacity \
for computing in parallel and it causes a HUGE performance boost to use this capability, even on a Pi, \
since the PI has 4 processors.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>I programmed StellarSolver to have 2 \
different parallel algorithms, one that solves simultaneously at multiple "depths" and one that solves \
simultaneously at different scales.&nbsp; If you set it to Auto, it will select the appropriate one based \
on whether you specified the scale or position (or neither).&nbsp; If the image has both scale AND \
position, it does NOT solve in parallel and goes back to solving with a single \
thread.</div><div><br></div><div>When Jasem wanted to me to de-thread the StellarSolver and make it so \
that just the solvers are threads, I had to make a bunch of changes and one change I forgot was to make \
the star extraction before parallel solving asynchronous.&nbsp; That does mean that when doing a parallel \
solve, it might look like things have frozen for a moment during the star extraction before the threads \
start up.&nbsp; I have already fixed this, but it is in the releaseExperiment branch of StellarSolver, \
not in Master.&nbsp; I would like to get this fix integrated before we release, but I will need to test \
this thoroughly first as I mentioned in a previous email.&nbsp; I am wondering if this freezing behavior \
was what caused the "crash" you \
observed?</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div><br></div><div>Rob</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><blockquote \

Ok so then we would be changing the way we do version numbering with this, right?<br>
I believe now we typically add features in each new iteration 3.4.1, 3.4.2, etc etc<br>
and when it is really big like StellarSolver, then we make it a big release like 3.5.0<br>
<br>
With this new paradigm, we wouldn't put new features into the master of the main 3.5 branch<br>
But instead we would work on a new 3.6 branch, and then bug fixes would go into the 3.5 branch<br>
to make each new minor release, like 3.5.1, 3.5.2 etc.<br>
<br>
Do I have this correct?<br>
<br>
If this is right, then it would be longer before users see new features in the main branch, but the <br>
tradeoff is that the main branch would have a LOT more stability.&nbsp; I see this as a big positive.<br>
<br>

&gt; Hello Hy,<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; Version 3.5.0 is only the beginning of the 3.5.x series, with more<br>
&gt; bugfixes on each iteration (and possibly, only bugfixes).<br>
&gt; So I have no problem leaving unresolved issues in 3.5.0.<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; For instance, the Focus module now has a slight and unforeseeable<br>
&gt; delay after the capture completes.<br>
&gt; The UI reflects the end of the capture only, not the end of the detection.<br>
&gt; This makes the UI Focus test quite difficult to tweak, as running an<br>
&gt; average of the HFR over multiple frames now has an unknown duration.<br>
&gt; Right now, the test is trying to click the capture button too soon 2<br>
&gt; out of 10 attempts.<br>
&gt; But this won't block 3.5 in my opinion (and now that I understood the<br>
&gt; problem, I won't work on it immediately).<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; In terms of reporting problems, the official way is stil <a \
href="http://bugs.kde.org/">bugs.kde.org</a>,<br> &gt; but there's quite a cleanup/followup to do \
there.<br> &gt; I'd say we can use issues in <a href="http://invent.kde.org/">invent.kde.org</a> to \
discuss planned<br> &gt; development around a forum/bugzilla issue or invent proposal (like<br>
&gt; agile stories).<br>
&gt; There are milestones associated with several issues (although I think<br>
&gt; they should be reviewed and postponed).<br>
&gt; And we can certainly write a punchlist: check the board at<br>

&gt;&gt; - Review the extraction settings. I spent a bit of time looking at the default HFR settings, and \
based on some experimentation (truth be told, with a limited amount of data) adjust things a little \
differently than my first guess (which was basically focus' settings).<br> &gt;&gt; Rob: My intuition is \
that I should adjust the default StellarSolver star-extraction settings for Focus and Guide as well in \
<wbr><a href="http://stellarsolverprofile.cpp">stellarsolverprofile.cpp</a><wbr>. I don't know whether \
you've already verified them, and want to release them as they are, or whether they are a first shot and \
you'd welcome adjustment?<br> &gt;&gt; <br>
&gt;&gt; Also, Eric, I suppose I should be adding these things here: <a \
href="https://invent.kde.org/education/kstars/-/issues">https://invent.kde.org/education/kstars/-/issues</a><br>
 &gt;&gt; Is that right? Sorry about that--ok, after this thread ;) But seriously, your email is a good \
summary, and from that link<br> &gt;&gt; it doesn't seem as easy to see which are "must do by 3.5.0" and \
which are "nice to have someday".<br> &gt;&gt; A 3.5.0 punchlist would be a nice thing to have.<br>
&gt;&gt; <br>

&gt;&gt;&gt; Hello,<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt; <br>
&gt;&gt;&gt; Where do we stand now in terms of bugfixing towards 3.5.0?<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt; <br>
&gt;&gt;&gt; - StellarSolver has all features in, and 1.5 is finally out at Jasem's PPA.<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt; - However Gitlab CI still complains about that lib package (see<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt; <a href="https://invent.kde.org/education/kstars/-/jobs/75941">https://invent.kde.org/education/kstars/-/jobs/75941</a>)<br>
 &gt;&gt;&gt; - Unitary tests are being fixed progressively, mount tests are down to<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt; ~20 minutes (yeees!)<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt; - From my tests, the remote Astrometry INDI driver is not usable<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt; anymore from Ekos.<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt; - The issue raised with flat frames is confirmed fixed (at least by me).<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt; - Meridian flip is OK (but I had not enough time to test TWO flips in a row).<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt; - Memory leaks are still being researched in Ekos.<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt; - There is an issue when duplicating an entry in a scheduler job,<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt; where the sequence associated is copied from the next job.<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt; <br>
&gt;&gt;&gt; Could we get a 3.6 branch where we will merge development of new features?<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt; And master for bugfixing 3.5.x until we merge 3.6 new features in?<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt; (we'd still have to port bugfixes from master to 3.6)<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt; I don't think the opposite, master for 3.6 and a separate living<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt; 3.5.x, is doable in the current configuration (build, ppas, MRs...).<br>
