[Bf-committers] Blender 2.70 RC1 release AHOY!

[Sergey Sharybin]

Hey all!

Yes, we're ready for first candidate for 2.70 release!

Information for platform maintainers:

- tag: v2.70-rc
- tag hash 19f7f9afab1b36ca8a92e739b7591f694b902dcb
- locale hash c842f10f94dd7e5b8a5f28b1ece91cff3890aed3
- addons hash 8ad356e3324cddef42d41f9b9b588ef1ebd2f8bf

ideally you never use hashes, here're magic commands which will make you
happy:

$ git pull
$ git checkout v2.70-rc
$ git submodule update --recursive

Just to verify it's all fine (it's first time we release from Git tags).
Your head is to be 19f7f9afab1b36ca8a92e739b7591f694b902dcb, and `git
submodule` are to show:

 c842f10f94dd7e5b8a5f28b1ece91cff3890aed3 release/datafiles/locale
(v2.70-rc)
 8ad356e3324cddef42d41f9b9b588ef1ebd2f8bf release/scripts/addons (v2.70-rc)
 7485bc6b11e32e6c9d4d13b273ec7a2d8eddf594 release/scripts/addons_contrib
(remotes/origin/HEAD)
 59512aadd1d16d7b9327f0eefafb23513b4f2137 scons (heads/master)

Use the following name: blender-2.70-RC1-<platform>

Please note, this time it's REAL release candidate. Meaning, if we do a
fix, we backport it to the branch and do another RC.

Also please note Git is considered frozen for until all the builds are up
(approx ~24hrs from now on). No commits are allowed for until unfreeze
message is sent t this ML (expect this tomorrow afternoon).

And the last thing for now: please keep this thread clear from the stuff
which is not up to the platform maintainers.

P.S. To get back to normal development use `git checkout master`.
