[Bf-committers] 2.79a: Blender ID Add-on update

[Sybren A. Stüvel]

Hey all,

There have been some improvements in the Blender ID add-on since 2.79
has been released. It makes it more future-compatible with possible
server-side changes, fixes a bug, and most importantly, reduces
confusion and makes users happy. I think the changes are safe to run in
2.79.

The commits are:

commit 6cdbffbc229bf263fa4b9b82a6e33b591c32934c

    Updated Blender ID add-on to version 1.4.1
   
    - Improved error reporting when validating a token fails due to
connection
      errors.

commit ff687ae6813e83002882632429c1abdf64060d57

    Updated Blender ID add-on to version 1.4:
   
    - Added an extra date/time format for parsing the authentication token
      expiry date.
    - Always show the "Validate" button when the user is logged in. This
      actively checks the token with the server, whereas the "You are logged
      in" only bases that statement on locally-available information (there
      is a token and it hasn't expired yet).

Cheers,
