[Bf-committers] Blender 2.80 Release Candidate - master frozen

[Brecht Van Lommel]

Hey all,

Release candidate 2 is now available for download on blender.org.

Last week a lot of fixes were done still. From this point on we will
only move over critical fixes to the release branch, it helps to
mention in the commit log if you want this to happen.

Thanks,
Brecht.
