[Bf-committers] Blender 2.67b release AHOY!

[Ton Roosendaal]

Hi Bartek,

For our releases we try to keep everyone stick to "only add crucial fixes" in the last weeks before a release, and certainly for an 'a' update.

I've just checked a few of your commits, but it appears to be regular maintenance and development work as well.

Add-ons in a release should go via the same ruling as the rest of code. I am not following the add-on tracker commit mails though, might well be happening already :)

Anyway - perfect releases don't exist. I propose to add a short note on the download page about the Node Efficiency Tools and link to where the update can be loaded.

We're now 3 weeks after the 2.67 release too, with a bi-monthly cycle a next release would happen within 5-6 six weeks anyway. Let's try to do better next time, and just communicate well about unfortunate errors. 

-Ton-
