[Bf-committers] Blender 2.42 Web Browser Plugin

[Ton Roosendaal]

Hi,

The security issue we should verify yes, I heard the sandbox didn't  
work (anymore).

But the fact it is instable (and unfinished for platforms) doesn't make  
this an official release anyway, nice for the testing department and  
the hardcode game devs here, not as part of the 2.42 release.

I still think a company or institute (or group of developers) should  
pick up the web player. If you really want it to become a serious &  
stable web browser plug-in, you have to do a whole lot of work on it  
still, and be prepared for giving users/artists active support for it.
