Hi all, Here's the notes from today's meeting, irc.freenode.net #blendercoders
1) Blender 2.64 status - Bugs bugs bugs... tracker keeps stable around 300 open issues. We still need more developers to close & fix! - Campbell Barton suggests to disable some features before release. He'll come with a proposal for which ones later. - New Compositor and Masking can be finished up this month - Cycles has a lot of open issues, with Brecht on holidays now we might better need docs or some tooltip/widget to warn about experimental features. In general Cycles' status is better than in 2.63, worth releasing. - Ton Roosendaal proposes to postpone 2.64 until mid September, and in the meantime keep trunk feature-frozen (BCon3), with as exception approved/stable work for Mango - which is mostly color pipeline and grading features. 2) Other projects - Sergey Sharybin will do sequencer work, grading tools. Docs or proposal will be published in 2 weeks max. - Sergej Reich (and Daniel Genrich) proposes to remove the old "Continuous physics option - this now becomes default anyway. Will be done together with future merger of the Physics GSoC project. 3) Google Summer of Code - For review: new subdivision surface modifier: http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:Apinzonf/Doc:2.6/Manual/Modifiers/Deform/Laplacian_Smooth - Sergej Reich reminds everyone to his video of 2 weeks ago: http://vimeo.com/45038904 - Google midterm results: out of the 16 projects, 2 students didn't pass midterm due to lack of results. That's the projects for Cycles Subsurface Scattering and Polygon tessellation. Fourteen students will now head at a successful completion of their work! Congrats :) Laters, -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
