[Bf-committers] Blender developers meeting notes, November 29, 2015

[Martijn Berger]

BGL already almost has a mechanism for doing this the calls. The legacy
calls are already separated out just the mechanism for enabling / disabling
this has still to be decided.

Ill try and make a proposal to add some call to bgl itself to hide them or
warn or something.
