Hi all, Here are the notes from today's meeting in irc.freenode.net #blendercoders
1) Blender 2.78b performance release - Not everything went OK... three issues were reported that would need to be solved: 1. OSX build had wrong cuda kernels. 2. GLSL viewport is broken when Light Path node is used 3. Crash of material preview when using Image sequences - Agreed is to update the 'b', to not confuse people we call it a 'c'. Most likely release will be on Wednesday. - BTW: Regression tests were updated to include the showstopper cases. 2) The 2.79 release targets - Check planning and targets here: https://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:2.7 - Luca Rood: Surface Deform modifier is pretty much ready for master now. SDef tech docs: https://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:Lucarood/SurfaceDeform/Technical - Sergey Sharybin: review of catcher patch started, including user side testing. - Lukas Stockner: most of the non-essential Denoiser code has been removed locally, will be pushed later. - Denoiser needs good docs! Volunteers welcome (makes it faster to get Denoiser in master) - Alexander Romanov proposes to add this fix for custom ID properties in 2.79: https://developer.blender.org/D113 Is under review still. 3) Blender 2.8 project - Julian Eisel wants to get more feedback on https://developer.blender.org/T50283. Decision will be made/confirmed by UI module team via bf-interface list. - Bastien Montagne: Blender 2.8 branch gets a 2.8 add-on branch too, to help testing and fix changes in api. - Mike Erwin notes great progress on OpenGL task force https://developer.blender.org/T49043 Graph is is on the move again: http://pasteall.org/pic/show.php?id=112427 4) Other projects - UPBGE This topic is still open: https://lists.blender.org/pipermail/bf-committers/2017-January/048007.html We will ask Clement Foucault and Dalai Felinto to feedback on the Viewport/shader issues. - Ton Roosendaal suggests to have another midweek 2.8 meeting session, this time with as main topic 2.8. Call will go out in a week, after gathering feedback. - The Google Summer of Code application has been finalized.
