Best regards,

= Week 8 =

== What I did this week ==
* Further tweaks for GPUs, Equi-Angular and MIS work fine for 
Homogeneous Volumes on GPU now (5fefc8478355). I posted a testbuild on 
blenderartists, and it seems this is stable. The reported performance 
varies quite a bit though.

* Fix part of T40964: Glass shader was giving wrong results with OSL. 
(e929dc2d8cb0)
* Potential fix for T40987, submitted for Code Review: 
https://developer.blender.org/D639

* Code cleanup (ef22e972b1ad, dda60dd2615a, 83f5d410711b).
* Some layout tweaks to Cycles baking. (f47360701436)
* The usual bug tracker maintenance (check on reports, close 
invalid/fixed ones...)

== Next week ==
My last exam week, so no coding before Friday possible.

== Questions ==
None.
