(We kept it short, Easter Sunday).
1) Blender 2.79 targets
- See the targets list.
- Still need to get reviews done... everyone's very busy with other tasks too.
- So, next week another attempt to freeze the targets for 2.79!
2) Blender 2.8x projects
- Most of the full-time Blender developers joined the OpenGL migration project, to make sure Blender can work with OpenGL 3.3 "Core Profile". This will take at least another week.
- Antonio Vazquez reports he's almost done with conversion of grease pencil to new draw manager.
3) Other projects
- Google Summer of Code: tomorrow Google will start allocating the slots for orgs. This we will know on wednesday. We then have until April 24 to make a final selection. On May 4 Google will publish the results. Until then we can't share info about slots or students.
Thanks,

Woow.. I just recently started learning about the grease pencil and am very happy about the new draw manager. The 2D integrated ability in the 3D work space is just mind blowing.
Great work done by the team.
I trust the best is yet to come
Dear Mr. Bart and Mr. Ton R,
Can you help, why blender3d laggy or delay process when use Nvidia Graphic Card in windows 10.
Not laggy or error when use integrated graphic card intel hd. but in clothing and hair particles so laggy / delay.
It's not happen when use windows 7.
I had send message too for nvidia support team, but no answer.
Thank you.
Hi, there were issues some time ago, due to a specific driver version (376.09) from nvidia, on windows 10 specifically (see https://blender.stackexchange.com/questions/68311/blender-2-78-with-windows-10-lags-when-interacting-with-the-ui).
Try to update your nvidia drivers, and if ssue persist, try posting here: https://blender.stackexchange.com/ to get more help
thx u.. i read and follow that articles, only right click on the blender shortcut>Run with Graphics Processor>Integrated Graphics is work. but hair particle is so laggy delay.
@Firman maybe blender is using the rubbish Intel graphics chip instead of Nvidia? You can force Blender to use the Nvidia accelerated graphics from the Nvidia control panel
Thank you, but i had do that. Can not fix it.
For a while solution is use intel hd for loading and render use cuda.
I also had an issue with Blender 2.78 with the viewport working extremly slow and laggy. I had to totally uninstall Blender and update to Blender 2.78c. Make sure you arent using 2.78b
