Hi all, Here's the notes from today's meeting in irc.freenode.net #blendercoders.
1) Blender 2.67 release review - Not many critical bugs reported yet, apart from crasher in new Mesh 3D print toolbox. Freestyle also does awesome! - Campbell Barton has a list of fixes (10-12) he'd like to see applied in the release branch though. He'll mail that to this list for review. To be safe, we probably will release a 2.67a then. Decision can be made next meeting. 2) Next release planning and targets. The planning proposal: - BCon1: May 08 (define targets, get branches reviewed & ready) - BCon2: May 26 (add branches to svn, targets are defined) - BCon3: June 09 (testing and fixing period) - BCon4: June 22 (provide test builds, fixing only) - BCon5: June 30 (svn frozen, release a few days after) Candidate targets for 2.68: - Multi-view (stereoscopic) render and display support. - Upgrade to OpenEXR 2.0 - Motion tracking - 'auto key'. - Cycles Ubershader' (combining diffuse, glossy, transparent, emission, fresnel) - Pie menus - Rigid Body constraint editing and visualization - 3D Viewport render for Blender Internal - Save and load "template" blend files (like managing multiple startups) - Freestyle: http://www.geocities.jp/blenderyard/freestyle/svgwriter_b26/README.html - Preserve vertex normals (for imported model renders) - New Explode Modifier http://wiki.blender.org/index.php?title=User:Scorpion81 - Option for Solidify to give minimal thickness OK... we'll be busy! :) 3) Other projects - Ton Roosendaal confirmed we should formalize roadmap for 2.7x/2.8x series. He'll write something for review asap. - On a 'major' release step we can also accept compatibility breakage for features. Initial list of breaking is here: http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:2.5/Source/Development/Todo/Compatibility_Breaking 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
