[Bf-committers] Blender developers meeting notes - 2018-01-08

[Bastien Montagne]

Hi all,

Here are the notes from today's 9 UTC (10 CET) meeting in 
irc.freenode.net #blendercoders.
Reminder: meetings are on Mondays now, next meeting is 15 Jan, 17 UTC 
(18 CET).

1) Blender 2.79 'a' release

- Release is going along nicely so far, you can track status on 
https://developer.blender.org/T53683 (for main repo) and 
https://developer.blender.org/T53684 (for addons).

- We need to check recent commits (from 19/12/2017), and finalize 
merging of conflicting ones.

- Goal is to make a testbuild on Wednesday (note that we cannot use 
buildbot for those, because some libraries were updated since 2.79 
release…).

2) Blender 2.8 projects

- Nothing much to report, Christmas holidays… Sergey reports that 
initial tests with new CoW depsgraph seem encouraging though.

- Weekly reports:
-- Sergey was on holidays, still worked a bit on task scheduling 
refactor (better multi-core CPUs handling).
