[Bf-committers] Weekly Blender developer meeting minutes, 12 July 2015

[Sergey Sharybin]

We've totally switched to OpenSubdiv 3.0 API, compiling with 2.x branch is
not possible anymore.

I'm using latest dev branch of OSD with some local changes to workaround
GCC linking issues which i'm in process of backporting to an upstream.
