Hi Fredrik,

Here is a summary of the 2007 Summer of code projects (copy/pasted
from our application to participate):

""
All five of our 2007 Summer of Code projects were successful, and one of 
these projects has been integrated into Blender and will be showcased 
during our next release, which will be rolled out within the next couple 
of months. This particular project, the bevel modifier by Levi Schooley, 
allows artists to reduce unnatural looking sharp edges on meshes 
instantly, in a non-destructive manner. This is an excellent tool that 
gives Blender a huge competitive edge, and will speed up the work flow 
for many artistic projects. Two other 2007 projects (sound API and deep 
shadow maps) are slated to be added to Blender soon, but it is unknown 
whether they will be added in time for the next release. Some of the 
other 2007 projects will probably be integrated into Blender in future 
releases, but no time line has yet been set.

Regards,
Chris
