Hi all,
Here's the summary of today's meeting:
1) Blender 2.61 progress
- Testbuilds are available online now:
http://download.blender.org/release/Blender2.61/
- Wiki release log in progress:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Ref/Release_Notes/2.61
- Some reports came in that systems without SSE2 don't run latest
Blender anymore. Appeared to be in libmv - Sergey will check and fix.
Blender has runtime support to switch back to non-sse for old hardware.
- Long discussion started what kind of older HW would be not supported
anymore... where do we draw the line? Seven years, 10 year old hardware?
- Lukas Toenne has patch for improved render pass for AO and Shadow.
These passes should use white (color 1 1 1) to denote "no effect". Ton
is only OK to add this with warning... the issues are in shaders, not
in the pass code. Better for after release?
- Campbell proposes to add new option for equirectangular skymaps like:

Code is trivial. Can be after release.
- Sergey notes two improvements that will go to tracker tomorrow:
(1) Camera solver now will lock the interface
(2) Added presets for default tracking parameters
2) Other projects
- BMesh makes progress (works for Cycles, Ocean Sim + server fixes).
Ender now works on docs, Campbell will mail proposal for acceptable
feature set for merger.
- Question from Ton: when is OpenCL compositor project going to our svn?
That's it for now, thanks!
-Ton-
