All the work is now geared towards getting 2.65 stable and released.

Notes from today's meeting in irc.freenode.net #blendercoders
1) Blender 2.65 Release
- Release Candidate happened last week. Unfortunately, there's a known crasher when entering edit mode. We'll make RC2 AHOY middle next week.
- We'll check on status next meeting and hopefully we could make final AHOY soon after this.
- Only crucial fixes are allowed! Brecht and Sergey will read over commits next week to prevent accidents.
- No interface strings changes, it'll break translations for the release.
- Bug tracker is at 68 mark, some release stoppers are still there
- Maintainers should check if all their new features are in release notes.
- Artists' help with sample .blend files and better images for notes is welcome
2) Other projects
- Bastien was working on list_template improvements to make it's possible to have several lists per panel. Review is needed.
That's it for now, thanks everyone!
Does anyone know what AHOY means, by the way?

It seems like AHOY means a release before the final release, although I'm not quite sure. Can't wait for 2.65, so many features I might not even be able to play with all of them!

I'm pretty sure it simply means they'll let us know as soon as the RC and final release are available.
That's my guess anyway ;).
I´m pretty sure that in this context it´s more akin to "Land ahoy", which was a way to alert the crew that there was land ahead. In other words, the release is ahead, and the crew should be prepared (to build in this case.

@Bart: tiny typo error:
"Bastien was working on list_template improvements to make it’s possible to have several lists per panel."
to make it* possible.
Bug Tracker down to 68? Awesome :)
And any removed dependency is a good dependency.
isn't some sort of greeting between pirates?
All good , looking forward to this one . Gotta say thanks to everyone .
Does anybody know about "Blender 2.66/67 Release Notes" or later?
yes, i know: they will exist WHEN (if not after) 2.66/2.67 will be released. Up to know, 2.65 is not yet released... :-)
)) I understand it. But I mean another thing. Are the main points of the project released? I'v read about features of blender 2.68 from twitter (Something about BGE). And that only thinking of blender developers or real goals?
hi! i think that what you're looking for is a Roadmap, not a Release log... all i can see is here on the wiki
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Doc/Projects
other than that you could ask directly to developers in irc.freenode.net #blendercoders
cheers, Marco
and for BGE there is a separated page here

Thanks a lot! Maybe because English is not my mother tongue I always think Release and Roadmap are the same things.))
Ahoy, means attention to all, for the launch of the release?
Cheers,

Thanks so much for the aggressive bug killing.
AHOY - Almost Here....O Yeah!
AHOY == Hello :-)
AHOY is spelled Czech greeting. We say "ahoy", written "AHOJ". Our character J preceded OJ, EJ, .. we read as english read OY, AY.
"Ahoj" is something like a "hi" especially used in paddlers team (the very similar, like a skiing people is saying "SKOL" in Norway or other north countries).
