2.5x project, 2.57 release
- Ton mentioned he added code to prevent 3d window to redraw during initialize render stage. Someone reported a drawing glitch for this, needs to be confirmed and pinned down.
- Keymaps save/load (or assign/unassign) has open issues, especially for the Maya keymap. Martin Poirier will check on it.
- RC0 [Release Candidates, bart] test builds are here.
- Linux RC0 64 bits has bad openAL (crashes on ALT+A). Might need an updated chroot? Campbell and Sergey offered help to check.
- Linux script to run software Opengl is currently broken. Campbell or one of the release builds could check.
- OSX: blenderplayer.app is not building currently.
- Windows installer is still not back. Caleb Joseph (Dobx) offers help here, he will work with Nathan Letwory on it.
- New startup.blend still has to be added, Ton will do asap.
- Planning: call for a RC1 tuesday/wednesday, next sunday review of status. Then decide to call for release or another RC2 test.
- Autobuild system: still needs a linux chroot, Sergey will help Brecht with it.
- Test files for regression will be updated too.
GSoC
- Tomorrow students can apply for the Google Summer of Code.
- Ideas list has been reviewed, updated a bit.
- Tom Musgrove suggests everyone to make advertisement for GSoC, we love to see a lot of submissions!

It seems like the title ("Modeling a bathroom in Blender 2.5") doesn't correspond with the content of the post...
It's developer meeting minutes, right?

I don't see a bathroom anywhere. :)

This meeting was about an important fork of 2.57 that will only deal with bathrooms.

maybe there's a new complex mesh, like suzanne: "bathroom"... ?
that would come handy designing home interiors...

Great news. If you get stuck with Windows installer I may be able to help.
Re: bathroom ... rubber-duck primitive mesh would be nice.

The header is a bit strange... but normal :) This will attract more new people to the process.

Please leave this post up as-is. These comments are hilarious.
The correct link is this:
http://www.blender3darchitect.com/2011/03/modeling-a-bathroom-in-blender-2-5/
or bathroom may be the new... "splash"... screen...
quite appropriate :)) ok just joking...
DID SOMEBODY HACK THIS SITE?
no i guess webmaster out for lunch... well, or... gone to the...bathroom???
I always wondered what those funny grid things were in the 3D window. Now I know - the default tiled walls for the bathroom. Sweet.
A~ bad room....
where ? where ?
Are a Bathroom and Blender really so different then eh? eh?
Well okay for you nitpickers I'll change it ;-)
*goes and hides under a rock*
mmm, still think that a "add>mesh>bathroom" option would be really handy, alognside that "make awesome animation" button that Ton promised us long ago, and never made into trunk :-)
Is this the Thomas Crapper build?
TFS
haha ! the best bathroom ever ^_^
Is this the Thomas Crapper build or the Armitage Shanks version?
TFS
Post works fine...
Just hit Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S+B for a parametric-shaded Bathroom object.
@The Fatsnacker
I think it's the Welease Candindate (WC) ;)
Wow I like the GE node editor, this will make crappy logic better
no bevel in the RC?
for when is bevel and b-mesh?
@bob
"where is b-mesh?" .... bob, the bathroom-mesh was only a joke, inspired by a wrong post title...
:D
I also can help with the installer. I have some experience with creating custom installers.
Thats great!
Second the motion by jiggles100, a rubber duck could be nice :D
@m.ardito
I think he meant the Bmesh project :D
Yes bring back the installer please!
@m.ardito
I think bob means the B-mesh project by Joe Eager :http://bmeshblender.wordpress.com/ :)
Yes, I hope it is completed soon. will it make it into 2.6?
I don't get it, I've downloaded the test build for windows 32 but it's just 2.56...
We are getting older just waiting for BMesh. I just hope that Bmesh comes before my cane.
WTF!
ROFL
also maybe they could create a mesh based lighting system
modeling a bathroom... lol!
How did that happen.
Would be nice to have Point position pass in Blender.
Hello the 2.57 test build has a 2.56 bindery folder.,it should be 2.57
Good April fool joke !
