Development (May 2017, Aug 2017, July 2018)

6. Overview From the inventory reports:
Argus and R-interfaces should give equal results (save random methods)
Practice:
Tested before new releases were uploaded

7. Overview UserSupport: 105 opened issues (until 8 November 2018)
Almost no sdcMicro issues there (own issue facility)
31 still open (CKM, TRS, feature/enhancement requests)
Most ‘major/high priority’ bugs solved
Works nicely

8. Overview Development Several new releases of -argus
Few new releases of µ-argus
Several new releases of sdcMicro
Some new releases of sdcTable
CKM prototype
TRS prototype

9. Still to do
Final reporting
Extend FAQ
Extend testsets

10. Future
Argus and R interfaces will still be there after the project has finished
The repositories at Github/sdcTools will be maintained
Resources for User Support and Development are limited
Additional funding needed to make it more reliable
Organising User Group meetings: would need funding
