[Bf-committers] Blender developer meeting notes - March 2, 2014

[Campbell Barton]

Note that splash now shows 'Testing' after the version number,
this will be replaced with 'Release Candidate', then removed, then
replaced with 'a' if we must :)
just enabled this so any glitches can be found sooner then later.
