Here are the notes from today's 15 UTC meeting in irc.freenode.net #blendercoders.
Ton writes:
1) The 2.78b performance update
- Meeting agrees on not adding fixes in the release, too risky and it would need proper testing. Only (tested :) performance improvements will be applied.
- Sergey Sharybin will handle the last mergers and call for release in a few days.
2) Blender 2.79 targets
- The release target list didn't change last week.
- Nu hurries here, we can update the list in the coming weeks. Suggested is to freeze the target list end of next month.
3) Blender 2.8
- Proposal: organise an IRC meeting next week to discuss progress and planning for 2.8. This will be on a weekday, Ton Roosendaal will check with key participants on a good moment and mail it to this list.
- Julian Eisel accepted 1 month Development Fund grant to work on workspace code, with the Blender Institute.
- Fracture Modifier team will have a design proposal for shards and caches ready this week.
- No Blender 101 news. Mike Pan is working on a revised proposal (doc) now.
4) Google Summer of Code
- We still have 10 days to complete/update the Ideas page. Comes back next meeting.
Thanks,
-Ton-

good news about this development especially the fracture modifier but i suggest you add the animation node with a proper documentation and on how it works even the beginner can use it because i hardly understand it in the official release maya now has mash official in their 2017 release
Don't think there is need to follow any kind of other products.
It was an ICE in Softimage, and we know that it didn't helped)
Awww, perfomance!
Sounds nice^^
mograph is crucial in blender to me
