Hi all,
Here are the notes from today's 9 UTC (10 CET) meeting in
irc.freenode.net #blendercoders.
Reminder: meetings are on Mondays now, next meeting is 20 Nov, 17 UTC
(18 CET).
1) Blender 2.79 release
- Nothing new really, as a reminder, 2.79a is needed, but not urgently.
- Help from other devs to triage, backport and test commits from master
into 2.79 would be appreciated. Any dev should be able to help, it's a
matter of:
-- Checking commits in master since 2.79 release, spot those which
either fix regressions, or are trivial safe fixes (no cleanup, no new
features, no complex/risky fixes unless they tackle some critical issue).
-- Cherry-pick them __locally__ into 2.79 branch, ensure they apply
cleanly (but do not push those changes until they are agreed on!).
-- Send a list of selected commits to bf-committers for review.
- Also, usual reminder to help checking and triaging the bug tracker! ;)
2) Blender 2.8 projects
- Meeting agrees to insist on high priority of finishing on-going
projects in 2.8, it is now much more important than adding new features.
Half-finished code is bad for users (half-working Blender is non-working
Blender!) and for developers (new code having to handle legacy one).
- Sergey Sharybin notes that depsgraph ownership is now correct
per-scene-layer, switching active layer in "topbar" is working now.
- Also, thanks to Dalai Felinto and Sergey Sharybin, all Cycles
regression tests are passing now in 2.8.
- Campbell Barton added new design/proposal to rework our notifier
system, and address its current limitations (long-standing project, but
now essential to finish manipulators, see
https://developer.blender.org/T53308).
- Bastien Montagne should have static ID override ready for review and
2.8 merge soon (not feature-complete, but needed to merge
asset-engine/Amber work asap).

3) Other projects
- Stefan Werner created a branch to finalize his Cryptomate patch for
Cycles (an advanced object masking technique for Cycles/compositing, see
https://developer.blender.org/diffusion/B/history/temp_cryptomatte/).
- Bastien Montagne started serious review work on Normal Tools from 2017
GSoC by Rohan Rathi, still some work to do but things look good (see
https://developer.blender.org/D2897).
Thanks,
Bastien
