Current projects

  • Campbell proposes way to have a proper default/install path for extension scripts. This invoked too much confusing discussions; conclusions will follow.

Blender 2.5

  • Installer issues have to be solved… Ton, Campbell + Brecht will review a proposal and put online for discussions.
  • Andrea volunteers to check on proper install procedure for Windows.
  • Proposal got accepted to make a testbuild available this week. It will be named “2.5 alpha 1”. The real (stable, documentation ready) release is going to be there soon, but not within a few weeks… the amount of fixes and bugreports (100+ per week) indicate we have to give it time.

Blender alpha 1 topics for release builders

  • Collada included? Linux no, Windows yes. Mac?
  • Ffmpg include preferably
  • Ton arranges a splash and does the ritual release # commit.

    • Linux 32/64: Ken Hughes
    • OSX 10.4/5 (and 6?) intel: …
    • OSX 10.4/5 (and 6?) ppc: …
