[Bf-committers] Blender 2.8 planning notes 01/05/17

[Bastien Montagne]

Hi,

Regarding dashed lines (i.e. setlinestyle() util), finished refactor of 
that shader and replacing last bits of usages in Blender code, aside 
from three files:

* drawmanager.c: this is a state/context thing, it cannot be directly 
converted to shader approach (same issue with linewidth btw), not sure 
how to handle this, maybe create another tasks about that?

* drawmesh.c and drawobject.c: Those have most of the remaining calls, 
question here is, should I port them? If I have understood correctly, 
those files won't be used at all in near future, once we fully switch to 
drawmanager, correct? in that case, we can either remove the 
setlinestyle calls (with a comment that it needs dashed line), or just 
keep them around for now?

Regards,
Bastien
