This week's meeting had more on the agenda than usual, so this week's meeting highlights have more to cover than usual.

WiX v3.10.3 update

This week's update on WiX v3.10.3 is that there will be a branch for WiX v3.10.3 and the existing fix from @jchoover will be cherry-picked into the branch. And so will the workaround/fix/whatever it ends up being for the GDI+ bug—when we have it. As of today, we don't; there's a Connect bug on the WinForms side of the GDI+ failure and the WinForms folks are following up.

Issue triage

Pull request and issue templates

This was my agenda item: To talk about how (or if) WiX should adopt the new GitHub feature that allows projects to have templates for new issues and pull requests. I recently added a file that shows up as a link when someone creates a new issue. But it requires a second hop to see; the template would be part of the issue itself and the user would have to explicitly ignore or delete it if they didn't want to follow it. Our goal is to streamline the process of reporting a bug or requesting a new feature: Often we need a couple rounds of "what did you mean?" or "our bloodlust for logs is not yet sated!" before there's an actionable issue. We hope a template would help with that.

Discussion was fairly noncontroversial. We decided to create a template based on our current CONTRIBUTING.md for issues. We also decided that we didn't see much value in a template for pull requests.

I took the action item to create the template. (And I can't believe I just said "action item.")

Pull request review

This week's pull request comes from yours truly and partially implements a feature request for Burn to write all the registry values that the Windows App Certification Kit expects to find. It's a partial implementation because we don't have a concept in Burn bundles of a single "installation directory."

.NET Foundation

Rob reported that because of issues with assignment agreements (among other reasons), it's time to the WiX Toolset from the Outercurve Foundation to the .NET Foundation. There's no strict timeline but the process is underway. There should be no change to consumers of WiX and only minor (and generally positive) change to contributors to WiX. More information to come.
