codeThings were hectic at the Blender Foundation this week with the arrival of the Durian team. Still, Ton managed to list the most important issues for you.

Hi all,

Last sunday was the day the Durian artists arrived here; so I had to open the door seven times, welcome people and give them the famous studio tour (“And there you can see the elephants, in about 2-3 years”). [NOTE BART: The Blender Foundation is located opposite the famous Amsterdam Zoo ‘Artis’]

  • Means: I could only get some snippets of the meeting; but what I know:
  • 2.49a release update: Windows topics will be tackled by Nathan Letwory. Next sunday do final check, then it could be launched.
  • GSoC: project for faster mesh drawing is finished, and candidate for integrating in 2.5 code. Pends review from either Brecht and/or Ton and/or Joe..
  • 2.5: project still goes on happily! But it’s now time to get good docs, a tracker for user feedback. Ton/Brecht are main candidates to make this, but their hands are tied all week with the Durian pre-production week.

Next week a better report!
