I took a quick survey, most of the libs are either not applicable to us (QT related stuff) or at the preferred version already
however some of them are lagging behind a bit (or a lot in case of openVDB) and one of them is a little ahead of the VFX platform Behind: OpenEXR VFX:2.4.x Blender:2.3.0 OpenSubdiv VFX:3.4.x Blender:3.4.0 RC2 OpenVDB VFX:7.x Blender:5.1.0 Boost VFX:1.7 Blender:1.68 Ahead: Intel TBB VFX:2019_U6 Blender:2019_U9 Is the plan to get at-least the lagging ones up to the VFX versions for 2.83? --Ray On 2020-01-10 10:03 a.m., Ton Roosendaal wrote: > Hi everyone, > > Blender has always been an early adopter of new libraries.
