Hi all,
Here's the summary of today's meeting:
1) Blender 2.62 release
- Jens Verwiebe solved issues with linking Lux and Cycles together with Blender, was a conflict in namespace caused by openImageIO library (OS X only).
- Jens also has a patch that bypasses reading movie files with QT in 64 bits OS X, FFMpeg is much faster.
- A discussion went on whether to wait a week with the release or to do it this week. Everyone agreed on just going for it, but spend another 3 days on bug fixing at least.
- So: this thursday - CET daytime - a call for building releases will be sent out. Ton will check with platform builders if they're available (Nathan, are you? :).
- Release log in progress, please check if your work is there, add cool images!

- Several complaints came in about hidden GPU option in Cycles. Brecht will turn this on by default in User Preferences, so the menu to choose CPU/GPU is visible for everyone from scratch.
2) Other projects, 2.63
- Focus for 2.63 is still for BMesh. Campbell likes to get Brecht and others to do final review before deciding to merge. Next sunday we could decide the final branch merger date though.
- Lukas Toenne will have his group node patch ready for 2.63, seeking for reviewer(s) still.
