Blender Developer Notes: October 4, 2015

2

Here are the notes from today's meeting in irc.freenode.net #blendercoders.

Ton writes:

**1) Blender 2.76 release

  • 2.76 RC3 is out now. There were too many fixes to justify a release still.
  • The list of RC3 fixes are only available as email to the bf-committers list. (We could use help from someone to convert the raw list to an easier to digest text for release log).
  • Showstopper "Particle info node bug" gets handled tomorrow by Campbell Barton.

2) The 2.77 release... and 2.8 work, when would that happen?

  • Several ongoing targets could pop up in the coming month(s), so we might want to make a 2.77 then: OpenVDB, OpenSubdiv, Asset browsing, new depsgraph, ...
  • Proposal (no objections so far): let's keep the schedule relaxed for two months, and wait until the first meeting of December to define the 2.77 release targets. That will also give us time to contemplate
    on ideas and designs for 2.8 and to prepare for a fruitful Blender Conference.

Laters,

-Ton-

  1. Please fix force quitting in Blender when instancing smoke domains. It would work on 2.73 but no recent builds.

    • Please submit a but report at developer.blender.org and provide system information, detailed steps to reproduce the crash.
