[Bf-committers] Blender 2.78c RELEASE AHOY!

[Sergey Sharybin]

Hi,

As was agreed in the meeting, we do a crucial fixes update for 2.78b for
those regressions which slipped in.

Information for platform maintainers:

- Branch: blender-v2.78c-release
- Branch hash: e92f235283071c13759bc4e6e861e4e938985307
- Locale hash: 0171e7ca48c845fce040d12a26d314d3c573f9af
- Addons hash: fcdeee23b3ce58010692e949df65e4013279a499

Suggested name: blender-2.78c-<platform>.

Place builds to usual location and let me know when they're up.

Tagging will happen soon after all the builds are up. Same applies to the
source package. This is because there's still chance of re-AHOY needed if
some platform encounters compilation error.

Additionally i've shared Windows and Linux builds in the staging folder on
FTP now [1] so everyone has a chance to test them while we wait for OSX
builds.
