Blender 2.62 release is still planned for 2.5 weeks from now, FFmpeg gets an update and new render passes for Cycles are being looked in to.

Here’s the notes from today’s IRC meeting:

1) Blender 2.62 planning

  • We’re now in “BCon3“, the new features are in svn now and get fixed or finalized.
  • Release planning still valid, 2.62 could be out in about two-and-a-half weeks.
  • Proposal: let’s do a call for an official test build mid this week already. And then do a week later an official RC.
  • Sergey Sharybin mentions: FFmpeg has 0.10 release, which will get added to Blender now. He can do this for Linux and Windows, will need help from Jens Verwiebe for OS X.
  • 2.62 Release log in progress. (Brecht, could you update this with Carve, Cycles, as you did so wonderfully for 2.61?)
  • Remark: can Cycles get more passes, like light contribution or shadow? Brecht looks into it.
  • The 2.62 Splash Committee is: Kevin Hays, Per Gantelius and Wray Bowling.

Thanks,
