Blender Developer Meeting Notes: August 10, 2020
Announcements
- Bf-usd mailing list created .
- Buildbot now builds automatically after changes are committed to the master branch.
- This helps to detect breakages early and find the exact commit that caused them.
- Builds for download are still only made once a day.
- This is not integrated with developer.blender.org .
Code Quality Day
- Last Friday we had the 7th code quality day .
- Special note to the clang-tidy project which is now 2/3 of the way done.
- Sergey Sharybin and Dalai Felinto will prepare a report to show what was accomplished with this project so far.
Bug Sprint Week
- Last week was also the 2nd Bug Sprint Week of 2.90.
- 47 tasks were closed as Resolved .
- 81 fixes were committed (commits with "Fix in their subject).
- The number of high priority bugs is still 18 – 9 of them were fixed, but there are 9 new ones.
The activity started well in the beginning of the week, and it dropped a bit by the end of it.
Part of this is the code quality Friday that coincided with the bug sprint. Part is the delay from when a bug gets fixed, then reviewed and merged.
Blender 2.90
- bcon4 is next week on August 19th.
- All module owners (and members) – make sure high priority bugs are assigned, reclassified as normal priority, or tagged for 2.91 instead.
- Same for bugs tagged as 2.90 of other priorities.
