[Bf-committers] Blender developers weekly meeting notes, March 29, 2015

[Ton Roosendaal]

Hi all,

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

1) Blender 2.74 RC4

- A fourth Release Candidate was published this week, all seems to be ok, but we wait a couple of days before deciding to actually do the release.

- The logs are coming together well too.

- Still needed: demo files, and images to show "custom split normals".

2) Targets for 2.75

- Updated the planning and release targets:

- Patch from AMD to split up Cycles OpenCL kernel has been added on the release target list:
  https://developer.blender.org/D1200

- Multiview branch is mergable too, Dalai is traveling now but should be able to handle it soon.

- Campbell Barton: the Delta Mush modifier can go to master soon. It works very well, also makes envelope bones more useful, - no need to weight paint.

- Call again: volunteer to collect cool .blend files for releases, and/or better regression suite files for developers and artists to test Blender well.

Laters,

-Ton-
