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 Community Lead at n8n.

I thought for months that Blender Nation is no more… I see you guys are very alive! Nice one!

  I confused it with other website with Blender news that was discontinued. Since I wasnt doing much 3D work, after some time somehow I mixed it with blendernation. In any case – glad I was wrong.

Does anyone else have the issue (since 2.67) where blender crashes as soon as you enter textured draw mode?

I Know I’m not supposed to leave bug reports here but Ive never been able to figure out how the bug tracker works.

What can’t you figure out about the bugtracker. You just register, log in and leave a report. It’s not harder than leaving a message here.

Well, this is kind of the start of the stabilisation builds for the 2.6x branch, as far as I understand. Most of the gsoc2013 goodness will end up in 2.7x I guess.
