Hey @mitzimorris or @WardBrian can you maybe help us with Google Collab update to a newer version? I don’t have access to manage that, thank you!

yes, I can help, what do you need?
builds on a collab instance?

23

Not entirely sure, I would assume to just sync collab with our latest versions in GitHub. @aakhmetz can you please add anything that I’ve missed or that you might need from Mitzi ? Thanks!

sounds great to me - nothing else to add
Thanks!

The collab workflow is defined here

I believe colab-cmdstan-2.23.0.tar.gz is simply the result of installing cmdstan on a collab machine and then turning the cmdstan folder into a tarball.

update: this notebook does the build and will let you download it.
it also has logic to save everything to Google Cloud Platform storage, but we don’t have that.

Any updates to the schedule? Curious to know when there might be a tagged release candidate to test.

I think we are just waiting on the below PR and then we should be good!

@WardBrian I think this is the first release of ‘.stanfunctions’ ending. Is that documented? Need any help?

I gave it some minor documenting here: Document .stanfunctions capability by WardBrian · Pull Request #434 · stan-dev/docs · GitHub if you can think of more to say that would be great!

Unfortunately, there was another delay. As Steve mentioned there is a critical issue we need to address.

Also see Release 2.29.0 checklist · Issue #1073 · stan-dev/cmdstan · GitHub

This is the release-related issue.

The PR has been approved and will be merged shortly (waiting for tests to pass).

Given that we do not want to do a RC release on a Friday, we will post the release candidate on Monday (if @serban-nicusor is available), which is also when the freeze will officially start.

I apologize for dragging this a bit, we did want to make sure this bug was squashed. Anyone that wants to follow the progress of the release candidate and the actual release, please subscribe to the issue I linked in the post above.
