[Bf-committers] Blender developers meeting notes - 2019-07-22

[Brecht Van Lommel]

Hi all,

Here are the notes from today's developer meeting. Next meeting is
Monday, 29 July 10:00 CEST / 8:00 UTC, in #blender-coders on
blender.chat.

1) Development

The Blender 2.80 release is planned for this week, assuming no
unexpected surprises. On Wednesday we'll decide which bug fixes to
move to the release branch, and then do the builds and release the day
after.

This means that next week master would be open for general bug fixes,
refactoring and new features for 2.81. Nathan and Dalai will come up
with a concrete plan for the 2.81 release schedule and git branching.

Two new blog posts:
* Development Fund Report, July 19:

* Progress on USD integration:

Ongoing work:
* The user manual is now complete for 2.80, except for add-on
documentation. This will be moved from the old wiki archive and
updated, organized by Brendon Murphy.
* Nathan Letwory works on the server-side changes for crashpad support.
