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?

I have a LONG history with Blender - I wrote some of the earliest Blender tutorials, worked for Not a Number and helped run the crowdfunding campaign that open sourced Blender (the first one on the internet!). I founded BlenderNation in 2006 and have been editing it every single day since then ;-) I also run the Blender Artists forum and I'm Head of Community at Sketchfab.

  1. 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!

  2. @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.

  3. 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).
