15:02.49 starseeker epileg: define "major" release
15:04.25 starseeker epileg: we just tagged a patch release, and a minor release (incrementing the middle version number) will come when some combination of features and improvements warrants it
15:04.54 starseeker a "major" release (updating from 7.x to 8.x) isn't in the works anytime soon
15:13.58 epileg sorry, minor release
15:14.56 starseeker Probably safe to predict one within the next six months - there are a couple features in the works that would warrant it - but can't pin down more closely than that right now
15:25.15 epileg ok, thank starseeker. I just asked this because there is a minor release every year, that's all

21:52.11 cad_zulip Thank you for the response @**Sean** ! I went with a 1001x1001 grid. Sorry to bother you again, but I had one more question for the task (hopefully the last one): seeing that I am only printing a black for miss and a white for hit, could I simply just have the hit/miss callbacks return a certain value without doing anything else?
21:52.11 cad_zulip ```
21:52.11 cad_zulip Questions are never a bother. :) Absolutely you can do whatever you want in a callback. Depending on what you need to do, you may need some book-keeping method to keep track of results, but the callback return value itself will be in the a_return field of the application struct.

21:58.24 cad_zulip I tried this code (g-wave [options] input.g object(s)) but it didn't work.
21:58.24 cad_zulip ```
21:58.24 cad_zulip @**Mayank Goyal** Where did you learn about g-wave? That converter was renamed in 2005..... You may have installed an ancient version. (and yes, you run the converters *outside* of mged).
22:26.08 cad_zulip @**Jeffrey Liu**: Thank you for your response :) I just figured that the printing was causing a huge bottleneck problem because the program was taking much longer with them included. In this case, it seems like the default int return type worked fine - I just needed to adjust the return values to indicate a hit or a miss.
