[Bf-committers] Blender irc developer meeting, May 29 2011

[Thomas Dinges]

Hi all,

Here is the report of today’s meeting:

1) Blender 2.5

- Bug Tracker is up to 182 open issues.
Everyone: Please have a look at bugs, assigned to you. Fixing them is a 
very high priority! We need to be ready for a 2.58 release in the next 
3-4 weeks.
We need a solid basis, before the 2.6x fun can happen :)

-Peter Schlaile mentions work on Video Sequencer Proxies, would fix a 
few bugs inside the tracker too.

Will be reviewed soon and if it's fine, it can be merged to trunk.

2) Google Summer of Code

I hope I got all links right. :)

3) Current projects
-Sergey Sharybin updated the win32/64 ffmpeg libraries last week, no 
issues so far.
It would be cool if we could have same configuration for all systems. 
Help is welcome on OS X libs. Please talk to Sergey if you need more 
info, he can give the configs he used for the windows/linux libraries.

-Sergey Sharybin also mentions some progress on new Boolean library:
http://projects.blender.org/tracker/?func=detail&aid=26465&group_id=9&atid=127
According to Sergey it'll fix some limitations (like stack overflow when 
handling objects with special topologies) and it's much faster.

-Mindrones mentions all 2.6x related information in the wiki go to the 
Dev:2.6/* section.

-Branch maintainers should fill in information about their branches into 
the wiki page:

Thanks,
Thomas
