With Blender in BCon4 (preparing for release, only fixing crucial issues), it looks like RC2 will be released tomorrow.

Hi all,

Here’s a summary of topics of today’s developers meeting in irc.freenode.net, #blendercoders

1) Blender 2.64 release

  • Release Candidate RC1 goes ok, but tracker is still at 240 open (but a lot of fixes were done).
  • Proposal: we do another RC2 tuesday, which also will be copied for the Project Mango DVDs. Next sunday we then do the final call for a release.
  • Release log is updating very well (thanks Brecht van Lommel!).
  • Still need docs for compositor nodes, can Jeroen Bakker check?
  • Are there going to be game engine docs?
  • Reminder: Blender is in BCON4, which means only do the essential fixing, lots of testing and write docs!

2) Other projects

  • Wacom sent a couple of Intuos5 Touch tablets, Ton will seed two to developers. Anyone wants one sent over for free? Mail me your story why you’ll use it well for Blender :)
  • Note everyone: this wednesday – 26 September – we’ll release project Mango (Tears of Steel) at the web!

Thanks,

-Ton-
