Thanks

Also not sure how you do the code,
but it must be very well structured and organized
plus hint explanation for others to acknowledge whats going on .

On a not well search about it ,it are clear seen that things still mess up,
therefore to not even know where to start with phyton thing .

Blender.org must to be completely rebuild ,as it an Open Source business ,
and with the software running good, who cares for competition its propaganda.
Must have a better base for Open Source,than to update the software .

A law must to protect the Open Source from become a private project .

A feature must to be created for give on simple objects ,
automatic curved corners and borders,
that for real time exemplify where its gonna effect .
Perhaps a updated feature for a mix with the
Smooth feature with the cut feature
for automatically creation for the areas with curved shape in set .

@joeri67
its because the software are still the same about its engine,
only with features that and maybe only little updates that keeps it basically the same .
Available at time but not on a full package with lots of new features .

ok.

So, I guess that we will be using 2.49b (c? d?) AND 2.5x until there is a stable version in 2010. Not optimal, in my opinion, but if that is the price to pay…

If I can’t expect in 2.5 some features that worked well in 2.49, this mean that perhaps I’m not going to use blender 2.5 until july/august 2010? No problem by my side, but I would like to know this.

Another question is that middle user don’t cares about trunks, svn’s and so on with this slang. I think Blender Foundation should do an official communicate in a (more) understandable slang, in order to clarify just this, and no messing about Durian tests, beta builds, developper reports and this kind of things. What (and when, approx.) to expect for the first release of 2.5 series, and for the following ones too. Sorry if this is done already, but I’m not able to find for now at blenerartists nor blender.org pages. My point of view is that not only blender-developping geeks, also plain users, should be able to understand its progress.

And thanks to the developpers. First impression about 2.5 is so promising!

A whole new overhaul and yet still a 2.x ? Maybe developers working on the code can understand it, but from a “marketing” point of view its way too weird I think.
Where microsoft is releasing a winDOS 7 and Apple a 10.6 ( with no new features from 10.5 ) it’s pretty weird to be having microsteps in 2.49 and undefined nano steps in 2.5. ( I was at a blender conference and I’m sure 2.5 will have mix-ups with 2.05 since they are both called two-point-five. )

Maybe 3.0 is too mystical for Ton? Or is 2.x reserved for the foundation and 3.x be his next company? :P

I liked the adobe system where the .5 releases where bug fix releases, I guess they didnt like the drop in sales for the .0 releases once people realised that.
And I do not like the “meeting deadline” releases where software is pushed in the world with emenent bug fixes in the next day or two because it was released with too much rush. I know we all have broadband now, but it still costs fossil fuel to power the internet.

But great to see so much power being ported to a wonderfull 3d product, I’m really anctious to get my hands on this product called 2.5 and hope I dont need to wait to 2.56 before I can stop yelling at it.
