[Bf-committers] Blender 2.71 Release AHOY!

[Sergey Sharybin]

Hi,

Yes, RELEASE AHOY happens tonight (or today, depending on which side of
Earth you're on).

We're continuing building release from the branch and tagging when we're
sure it's all fine.

Information for platform maintainers:

- branch: blender-v2.71
- submodules were tagged with v2.71 tag, hashes for confirmation:

 5ea1456cf5bf9caa32d4988284cc0b75637dd45d release/datafiles/locale (v2.71)
 9948cd6025f29fad12eaf6d3b0e738dfb2b50d4a release/scripts/addons (v2.71)
 0bd307ae8cc7746b433c0baf9be13dc662b47f08 release/scripts/addons_contrib
(heads/master-57-g0bd307a)
 1ec93106c40fab0c339d09c7ed9897c85ddf3da5 scons (remotes/origin/HEAD)

Names might be different a bit, only hashes are matter.

Once you're done with the build, do

$ git checkout master  #  in order to get back to normal development
$ git branch -D blender-v2.71  # in order to get rid of local copy of the
release branch. It's totally harmless if branch stays locally, just might
annoy you a bit.

Use the following name: blender-2.71-<platform>

P.S. And if you didn't notice yet, Git is open for new awesome stuff!
