Hi all, Here's notes from today's IRC meeting:
1) Blender 2.5x project - Campbell sent a proposal to bf-committers to split up the included Python files using a "needs auto load" directory. This mainly for startup speed. This won't effect add-ons at all and wont break scripts! Still, to ensure the benefit is evident, tests will be done in Windows and OSX first. If the outcome is positive - and no objections arise here - Campbell will commit this week. - Reminder for Martin Poirier: can Netrender be moved to add-on before 2.57 release? - Ton proposes to have a first batch of official test builds available this week (assuming the autobuild system will take a bit of more time to start up). Ton will send note to the Windows/OSX/Linux platform maintainers. - Short term planning: get test builds online this week, next sunday call for 'freeze' (crucial bug fixes only), release official RC's during the week after, and sunday April 3 meeting can agree on doing real 2.57. - Jens Verwiebe has a patch for User Preferences Add-on install, there's unzip issues in OS X. Brecht will review it. - New Linux platform maintainer(s): currently Ken Hughes is listed as main owner, but during the Python 3.2 discussion I saw a mail coming by from Richard Shaw or David Plater that they'd like to be added. I can't find this mail anymore... is either of you guys also proposing to build .deb or other linux compatible release builds? 2) Other projects - Nicholas Bishop integrated the dual-contouring code as a modifier: http://vimeo.com/21096739 - Paged particles development by Lukas Toenne & Janne Karhu is post 2.57 target. http://code.blender.org - Joe Eagar reports on Bmesh: progressing well still! Bevel example picture: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v287/joeedh/bmesh_bevel_1.png Campbell will get involved with the branch, testing and migration as well. Ton mentions we would need docs in wiki; what works now, what is WIP, and what's not done (also related to tools like UV unwrap or modifiers). Preferably with nice code diagrams and architecture overviews. 3) GSoC - Ideas list needs to be finalized, next week meeting can give a final go. http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Ref/GoogleSummerOfCode/2011/Ideas - For this week: module owners please check and filter out or prioritize the ideas. Tom Musgrove will hunt you for it too! -Ton- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ton Roosendaal Blender Foundation [email protected] www.blender.org Blender Institute Entrepotdok 57A 1018AD Amsterdam The Netherlands _______________________________________________ Bf-committers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers
