Roadmap / Todo List for Windows itom Setup 4.0.0

[M. Gronle]

This issue should organize todos and the roadmap for the upcoming windows setup of itom 4.0.0.

The setup will be compiled with the All-In-One development package MSVC2017 / Qt5.12.6 / OpenCV4, that contains the following components:

MSVC2017-Qt5.12.6-x64

• 64bit
• Visual Studio 2017 (e.g. Community Edition, Updates required)
• Qt 5.12.6
• Python 3.8 /Numpy 1.18.1
• CMake 3.16.3
• OpenCV 4.2.0

optional packages for PointCloudLibrary with VTK visualization:

• Boost 1.72.0
• Eigen 3.3.7
• Flann 1.9.1
• PCL 1.10.0
• QHull 2019.1
• VTK 8.2.0

‌

Todos for the setup:

1. PR code checker mergen
2. Python Paket Liste erstellen / aktualisieren (neu: flake8 with entrypoints, mccabe, pyflakes, pycodestyle)
3. Download all packages from pypi.org and put them in one folder. Make a requirements.txt
4. Change the inno setup scripts to pack the entire python package folder, unpack it at the target pc to a temp folder and install the requirements.txt, only instead of make single installs of every single package. Add a log-file to the pip install command.
5. Fix the issues 71, 85, 102, 115, 118, todos:40
6. Fix bool(dataObject) deprecation warning in roughnessEvaluator demo script
7. Create a “quick check list” (e.g. with https://flask.io) to create a manual test list. These tests should be done if the first prototype of the setup is ready to verify if the most important features of itom are working.
8. Decide if the matlab module should be integrated in the setup (see issue 93)
9. Finish the NIDAQmx rework plugin (see branch https://bitbucket.org/itom/plugins/branch/nidaqmx_rework)
10. Fix MSMediaFoundation shutdown crash (see https://bitbucket.org/itom/plugins/issues/7/msmediafoundation-crash-if-dll-is-unloaded)
11. Translations for German
12. Changelog itom
13. Changelog designer plugins
14. Changelog plugins
15. Make a “what is new or changed” teaser for email, website etc. with the most important changes (maybe with some images)
16. Update Homepage / Documentation
17. Update Qwt to 6.1.4
18. Update COPYING and CONTRIBUTORS
19. Update the Properties / Signals / Slots descriptions of selected plots in the userDoc of itom (content between ..BEGIN and ..END section, using the script plot_help_to_rst_format.py)

Optional (if time available):

1. Add an optional grid to the itom2dqwtplot, similar to the grid in the itom1dqwtplot

Since Bitbucket does not allow todo lists, please use the edit function (if you have the rights) to strike-through
entries, which are fullfilled, or add new values. Alternatively, write a comment if you solved one point or if you
wish to add new values. Then I will change the list above.
