Meeting Notes
v1.14 Release Notes
The release note draft including links showing filtered PRs that each maintainer was involved with:
Please go through the related PRs and add important features from your memory to the release note draft! 
v1.14 Release Blockers
- Optical flow issue is work in progress
- Needed: Testing
We need to make sure the beta release (release candidate) download via QGC works.
PWM Min Issue:
Tilting rotor multirotor PR - Salvatore
- Having higher level overview diagram would be more helpful!
- Having trouble rebasing
- Why not go through the current implementation (based on v1.13), and go through high level overview of the feature?
- The changes however seem quite self-contained, so the rebasing shouldn’t be so complicated.
Action Item:
Try to rebase (or cherry-pick), and let us know in the PR!
VICON problem
Note: There’s a VICON problem, which made reverting to the old version a better option. We should catch these problems and fix in main branch, to make sure this problem doesn’t arise in the future.
- Could be related to unsupported MAVLink frame type, which can change between releases.
Note: Would be nice to have testing to catch these actual use cases (e.g. VICON message streaming)
XRCE-DDS renaming
- Having the consistent naming is much needed, it is a good change!
Docs Sync & EKF2 Aid Mask
https://github.com/PX4/PX4-user_guide/issues/2354
- Additional discussion: Drag fusion / Optical flow aid mask, can we remove them?
Open Mic for Maintainers
- Structure of the maintainer call: Can we compile the list of PR/Issues before the call?
