[Bf-committers] Blender IRC developer meeting, March 17 2013

[Ton Roosendaal]

Hi all,

Here's notes from today's meeting in irc.freenode.net #blendercoders.

1) Blender 2.67 targets

- Lukas Toenne is ready with PyNodes, should go in svn tomorrow.

- Freestyle: Tamito Kajiyama addressed the comments from Campbell Barton already. Sergey Sharybin will start reviewing FreeStyle tomorrow. Looks like also this will go in svn this week!

Freestyle code review in progress:

Freestyle doc in progress:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1k98c5BMFzwtWkH8ZCBfZ3xgkFs10HpNPdr8QF7ulZw8/edit

- Ton Roosendaal still has Pie Menus on his list, should be possible within 2 weeks.

- Antonis Ryakiotakis is progressing on work on 2D painting.

- Meeting shortly discussed new icons for Paint strokes, there's proposals in BlenderArtists forums. No decision yet, more experimentation with design/style (to match our current icons) is welcome.

- Other release targets are all on-going, no news!

2) Other projects

- Alex Kuznetsov worked a bit on his OpenGL brach, together with Jason Wilkins work it could be merged... still needs more time though (or involvement of more people).

- We still use MSVC 2008 for releases, which is old and slow (especially compared to new gcc). Mingw for Windows does have a faster binary, but fails for parts still (like OSL, OpenMP).

Anyone reading this with Microsoft connections, to seed a dozen of licenses to the online developer team?

Thanks,

-Ton-
