[Bf-committers] Weekly minutes, status of 2.47

[Ton Roosendaal]

Hi all,

Here's the summary of weekly notes:

1) current projects

- sun-sky-scatter is being redesigned to move to World menu
- water patch reviewed, now made ready for committing
- Joe is now almost finished with DSM, expected ready for review soon
- Bob thinks Csaba's audio patch should be ready in few days

2) GSoC

- Lightcuts, http://unclezeiv.kerid.org/
   http://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?t=130004
- Shrinkwrap, http://andresp.no-ip.org/gsoc/shrinkwrap/cloth/
- Freestyle integration: lot of porting/recode happens now, due to  
tighter integration plan (using blender's own renderer for strokes)
- Multires sculpt: http://www.vimeo.com/1372936

- Python editor:

3) 2.47

If we still want to make a siggraph release (august 10), we should move  
to bcon4 and making RC builds ultimately next week sunday.

Means, can we now get scatter + water + sound ready? Or should we skip  
this? Or should we skip release? Nice point for discussion here I  
guess. :)

My pref: do 2.47, even when its without above new stuff, but only if  
bug tracker then gets acceptable low. Otherwise 2.47 has not much  
meaning as update release.
