Hi all,
Again a short meeting today in irc.freenode.net #blendercoders!
1) Blender 2.77 targets
- Project page did not change much.
- Brecht van Lommel posted OpenGL 2.1 recode tasks for volunteers to pick up.
- Kevin Dietrich picked up Smoke Volume GLSL code.
- Joshua Leung committed his GPencil work for 2.77.
2) Other projects
- Proposal: drop Scons for when we move to 2.8 (branches) but keep it for the 2.7x series.
Thanks,
-Ton-
Interesting work with the Grease Pencil. Good luck to all.
Last couple of weeks, It seems like I see Brecht’s name popping up more and more. Is it just my perception or is he lately getting more involved in the development circles?
What is the reason of dropping Scons?
it halves the amount of build systems that need to be maintained.
OK, but is there a technical reason to prefer CMake instead of Scons? just asking because I was evaluating Scons for a personal project.
