==2.5x next milestone==

Ton had long meeting with Matt about 2.5 planning

Matt main attention will be with tracker the next weeks, but he'll be
more ruthlessly closing reports anything that's not a verified bug can
be closed, especially if reporter doesn't respond only reports should
be open as todos for our devs, the tracker is not a support system

Do not report bugs on branches except directly to the developer

There are two targets we want to make for the betas; one is for
'minimal 2.5 specs' (docs) and one for 'blender stable' (release)

the 2.5 specs we should be very conservative about, and just move most
of it to next series

the 2.5 UI specs to finish is mostly about thread stuff (render) and
multiwin usage and userpref/theme/keymap save and some fishy
keymap/operator specs have to be solved, or at least make good
guidelines


==DURIAN==

the new renderer is giving good performance 'Durian images we render
are all full raytraced GI and still within acceptable time'


Developers please continue helping to fix bugs and to help with the todo list
