[Bf-committers] Blender developer meeting notes, February 9, 2014

[Ton Roosendaal]

Hi all,

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

1) Work on upcoming 2.70 release

- Planning for release didn't change:
 http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Doc/Projects

- Image Editor panels are being reshuffled now:
  https://developer.blender.org/T38371

- Crucial bugs to be done are now listed in a special page:
https://developer.blender.org/project/view/35/

- Showstopper bug is for Windows with non-Ascii character file paths (like Japanese).
https://developer.blender.org/T35176
Campbell Barton and Tamito Kajiyama will check on it.

- Note! Python scripters who added toolbar buttons should check and/or update scripts, because of news tabs there. Connect Campbell if you need help.

- Sketchfab will submit an add-on to be included in release, using the 'commercial services' deal we've reviewed and accepted last August. It still needs to be reviewed though. 

2) Other projects

- Ton Roosendaal wrote a report of the developer meeting in Blender Institute, to map out issues for the next film project:

- Lukas Toenne started to work on a cleanup compositor code, will be online this week.

- After the meeting, there was a discussion on the status of NPR render in Blender, and the 'BEER' project from Bong Wee Kwong.

A new mailing list has been added to discuss work on Blender's NPR render future:

Thanks,
