As promised, today we did our normal triage and we risked taunting the Demo Gods by having Rob run through the Windows Sandbox work I've done to run the WiX integration tests in a quick and easy virtual machine provided by Windows. Did the Demo Gods retaliate?

As usual, today's meeting covered triage mixed with design discussions galore. Then, in response to questions from Ron watching live, we talked about how the WiX integration tests run during the CI build in virtual machines and how developers could run them on local VMs. Finally, Rob briefly announced a new prerelease build of WiX v3.14 is now available for download, containing all the latest changes and fixes in that branch.

As is our wont, we spent a lot of time in a handful of issues, with deep discussion and design. That's one of the great things about real-time communication and we take advantage of it whenever we can.
