[Bf-committers] Some results on testing with blender 3.34 pre

[Tom Musgrove]

I haven't run the full gamut of tests yet, but I've had some possibly 
troubling results, and a few comments on the tests themselves.

Esc/ canceling actions, and closing windows should be mentioned explicitly 
in the directions.  The action as well as the keybinding should be 
mentioned.

arealight.blend - takes 3 times as long as 3.33a
this is possibly different compilation flags or build methods- my 3.34 is my 
own build, whereas 3.33a is the official build.  I used make, whereas I 
don't know what the official builds are using.  However, for other tests the 
time is apparently the same between the two builds, so I suspect it might 
not be a compiler difference.

As to comments - if an ESC is needed to cancel a task before moving onto the 
next task, or a window needs to be closed, this should probably be explicit 
in the directions.  Also, in many of the windows the text is obscured on my 
screen, requiring resizing of the text area.  (I'm in 1024x768).  These are 
fairly minor things - I'd be happy to make the changes if desired.  It would 
also be appreciated if the tests could be given meaningful names.  Ie 
dolphin.blend might be renamed vertexpaint.blend etc.  Another useful change 
would be to have a text file that gives an overview describing what the 
tests are and what type of results can be expected.

I can do most of this stuff, but I'd like to know what changes are viewed as 
desireable..
