Looking at the draft PR [1] addressing this, albeit not finished, quite a number of changes are required. This should be tested thoroughly, even the most seemingly innocent change can lead to unintended and unexpected bugs. Personally, I'm now quite glad we now -- at long last -- have a working and fairly stable version for mac. So, let's not merge this PR and move on with 7.8.3. > Most changes are only in layout flags, these are easy to review and the worst case is the layout may look strange, so I wouldn't worry about this part too much. But I am more worried about the other things I didn't have time to fix yet. For example opening file menu freezes my computer, memory starts allocating. So I at least need more time to figure out the issues. Also testing on other platforms would be great. >> >> The questions are how quick will the wxPython 4.1 be established/extensively used (how urgent is the support for it), and for how long are we willing to postpone this 7.8.3 release (for fixing and testing). > > AFAICT, 4.1 is default in PyPI so when you install wx that way, you get 4.1. I am not sure at this point, I agree 7.8.3 should get released as soon as possible. >> >> Perhaps a solution is to make an imminent GRASS 7.10 release with 4.1 support as suggested elsewhere [2] including the numerous fixes to be made with flake8 and maybe black. We may consider then to fix master as planned and fork 7.10 from it. But 7.8.3 first :-) >> [1] https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/pull/570 >> >> [2] https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/issues/543#issuecomment-619229231 Markus _______________________________________________ grass-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-dev
