[Bf-committers] Weekly Blender developers meeting minutes - January 18, 2015

[Ton Roosendaal]

Hi all,

Here are the notes from today's 15h UTC meeting in irc.freenode.net #blendercoders.

1) Release targets for upcoming 2.74

- People noted that the proposed planning for next release was more than 2 months. 

- We might need to reserve enough time for Multiview, Viewport, and several Gooseberry projects to be migrated. But if that's needed has to be figured out still.

- Everyone gets one more week to get their projects shortlisted as 2.74 targets!

2) Release 2.73a

- Meeting decided to go for an 'a' update after all. Minor but important fixes were done already.
  For example: Knife bugs, Cycles has bug (black meshes on certain circumstances).

- Monday Sergey Sharybin and Campbell Barton will review and move over the essential fixes (and mail to this list to verify). If all goes fine, we then ask for a build on tuesday.

3) other projects

- Kevin Dietrich posted videos with the first OpenVDB particle results:

He'll be in touch with Campbell and Lukas Toenne, to make sure modifier designs and particle plans are well aligned.

Thanks,

-Ton-
