Hi all,

Short summary of today's topics: (check at least the 2.58/9 proposal!)

1)

- Via python (and custom properties) scripters can now define own  
'update' calls, to trigger dependencies on other data. A document  
example for boolean is here;
http://www.blender.org/documentation/blender_python_api_2_57_1/bpy.props.html#bpy.props.BoolProperty

- The current change log:
   http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Ref/Release_Notes/changelog_258
   Feel free to arrange/organize, but don't add new items (is being  
handled by Campbell & Mario)

- Question from Dalai: BGE fixes in GSoC branch can go to trunk  
anytime, if maintainers agree of course.

- Open release targets still:
   - Keymap saving/load, add-on key changes
   - VSE: correct frame interpolation for 'speed' effect strip
   - Group-linked cloth fails still
   (ton goes over todos and keymap issue with Campbell/Brecht to make  
a final target list)

- According to Dalai there are already new icons for Game Logic, Ton  
mails Jendzrych to check

- To respect our bimonthly release schedule, proposal is:
   - call for a 2.58 this tuesday, release 1-2 days after (no real  
freeze needed)
   - define August 1st as last day of "bug fix & 2.5 targets period"  
and release 2.59 for Siggraph.
   - Then starting in august, branches and patches can migrate over.

- The removal of "texture face" part one proposal is nearly ready:
   http://wiki.blender.org/index.php?title=User:Dfelinto/TexFace
   This gets a review for 2.59. It doesn't remove the per-face  
assigning for Images yet!


2) Other projects

- We still need a good 2.6x migration planning for branches, but a lot  
of good patches are awaiting anyway (nodes, weight modifier, FBX  
import, camera sensor, texface removal)

- Status of BMesh? Can Joe report about feasible deadline date to move  
trunk & release?

- Ton also proposes to review Brecht's old "remove from Blender" list  
again for the 2.60 version.

- Update from Ton on Mango: announcement of project has been postponed  
to be september earliest, this to accommodate for long Blender &  
Foundation todos as well. Project start then is late 2011 or early  
2012 soonest.

3) GSoC

- Motion tracking: libmv works on 3d reconstruction now. Might see  
first tests work in 2 weeks.

- Ton will collect all student's wiki progress pages, for everyone to  
easier browse student's work

Thanks!

-Ton-
