It's time to update your Blender 2.79 with this 'new & improved version'!
The long-awaited maintenance release Blender 2.79a is now available! Over 200 fixes make this the most stable Blender release ever!
Next to 200 fixes, there's also a nice speed boost in Cycles! Mike Pan reports:
Just benchmarked Blender 2.79a RC. It's About 10% faster in @CyclesRenderer than 2.79 in Windows. Linux still renders 30%+ faster though due to lack of WDDM. #b3d pic.twitter.com/YNa6klbb79

Yay!! Thanks coders :)
System console is not closing after closing program (Windows 10).

Thanks! Updated.
Not only is Blender itself getting sexier, but the Blender Foundation website's getting sexier.
Good job, Blender software and web developers!
I have read somewhere v 2.79a contains already simultanously GPU + CPU rendering? I have installed the latest version, but can not set it in the system settings.
Do I miss something?
I know the feature is already in the 2.8 build.
OK, see it now. It is in the daylie build. :)
It's interesting that Cycles rendering in the latest nightly build still is more than twice as fast.
Thanks to the coders and may we grow the Blender Nation!!!!! Love it
