1) Blender 2.79a
- We expect a test build to be announced next week for people to test it.
- Brecht Van Lommel suggests (in mailing list) for future releases to have
a bug-fix branch from beginning.- A list of commits to be included was sent to the corresponding mailing
lists (bf-committers and bf-python). And the 2.79a brach was created with
them already.- Bastien Montage wants to check with Sergey Sharybin and Campbell Barton
to be sure conflicting commits were merged properly. This will have to wait
until Friday.2) Blender 2.8 projects
- Clément Foucalt is working again on Eevee bug fixes, with focus on OpenGL
rendering.- Antonio Vazquez is implementing a new Grease Pencil fill tool:
[note for developers, remember to use Blender Developers channel when
possible - it also helps]
- Dalai Felinto has been working on collection editing. Feedback is welcome for the changes already committed.
- Ton Roosendaal will ask Pablo Vazquez and other UI/UX designers to help
the asset project to deliver more tangible results.- Many developers were away last week due to holidays. Development should
be fully resumed throughout this week.- There are still 2.8 areas that are open issues such as workbench engine
and workspace. Next week we should check the planning for January-March to
make sure everyone know what to do and to be sure all the main projects are
tackled.3) Other projects
- Philipp Oeser (lichtwerk) accepted a grant to work this month on triaging
in tracker.- Holiday season reports: Blender 2.8 Xmas Report and Blender Projects in 2018 to look forward to.
- Google Summer of Code starts soon. Organizations applications start on
January 4th.- Blender Foundation had a generous donation, DELL servers. We will have
two new Linux servers next week ready for the "onboarding" discourse
installation"4) Weekly reports
