     25* ChimeraX 1.10 release candidate
     26  - Decided to make branch and release candidate this week.  Zach will do it.  He just made the branch.
     27  - Aim is to make 1.10 release first week in January.
     28  - Have 29 ticket milestoned for 1.10.  Greg and Zach will work on fixing or remilestoning those.
     29  - Reviewed roadmap.  Several items not yet complete will be pushed to 1.11.
     30  - Definitely want bug where users asked to register more than once fixed in the 1.10 release.
     31
     32* ViewDock
     33  - Piet has new ViewDock mostly implemented.
     34  - Will put in daily builds and get John Irwin to try it.
     35  - Discussed if old session with ViewDockX data should open using a hidden copy of old ViewDockX or should new ViewDock attempt to handle old ViewDockX sessions.  Piet will investigate how hard latter approach is.
     36
     37* Dependabot
     38  - Zach will turn off dependabot for pypi so we don't get further pull request notifications.
     39  - After release we will run dependabot to get latest PyPi versions when we do once per release updates, then close all dependabot pull requests.
     40  - ChimeraX developer Mitch Murphy had choice works for the 50 dependabot pull requests obscuring his real pull request.
     41
     42* Crash reporting improvements
     43  - Eric will test Windows crash reporting after using open/save dialog to try to understand why faulthandler spews so many confusing Python tracebacks.
     44  - We enabled Windows crash reports just for 1.10 daily builds and may disable them if they still seem of no value.
     45  - Tom will make reporting known crashes without specifying an email address not actually report the crash to save us time triaging bug reports.
     46
     47* Web update error deleting directories
     48  - We still get error deleting old web directories from nightly ChimeraX documentation update script.
     49  - Greg made this give a warning instead of fail with an error.
     50  - Greg believes some other process is holding onto some files that cause this problem.
     51  - Directories are removed the next day and that seems to never fail.
     52  - Decided to remove warning so we don't get email about this non-problem.
     53
     54* Inside ribbon color
     55  - Eric wants to prioritize adding inside ribbon color support.  Only applies to helices.  (What about nucleotides?)
     56  - Need to make ticket.
     57  - Tom will need to enhance ribbon graphics to handle the coloring and make sharp color boundary for helices.
     58  - Eric would add per-residue inside ribbon color and session saving support.
