## Minutes

* The pull request for Cartesian grid volume averaging was merged
* Henceforth define `breaking` as "compared to last changes on `stable`", thus #1233 is not `breaking`
* Remove Chandrasekhar_G from plasmapy proper for now, because can't trust numerical stability of that implementation for now
* lots of PRs getting merged, yay! ;)
* `v0.7.0` could slip to next release schedule depending on progress of current reviews (mainly PR 1134)
* add instructions to documentation about adding `conda-forge` to Anaconda Navigator and installing `plamsapy`
*
