[Bf-committers] Blender developers meeting notes - 2018-02-05

[Bastien Montagne]

Hi all,

Here are the notes from today's 09 UTC (10 CET) meeting in 
irc.freenode.net #blendercoders.
Reminder: meetings are on Mondays now, next meeting is 12 Feb, 17 UTC 
(18 CET).

1) Blender 2.79 'a' release

- RC build looks pretty OK so far, a few more regressions were found and 
fixed, Sergey still has to backport a depsgraph fix regarding dupligroup 
on hair, though.

- We can probably do final release next week.

2) Blender 2.8 projects

- Campbell Barton has a WIP object mode patch 
(https://developer.blender.org/D3037).

- Sergey Sharybin was working on getting better handling of scene in new 
CoW depsgraph, and looking into making manipulator to be aware of 
evaluated object state (https://developer.blender.org/D3036).

- Tamito Kajiyama is working on a fix of Freestyle crash in the 2.8 
branch, needs some review (https://developer.blender.org/D3040).
