Best regards,

  = Week 4 =

== What I did this week ==
* I finished the uchar attribute support in Cycles.
* Fixed some compile errors in the SSE refactor patch for Windows.

* Today I merged some of my work into master.
** Face Normal on the Fly:

** uchar4 attribute support: 
https://developer.blender.org/rB0ce3a755f83b047f49f78da1729a73b56b9c9d55
** AVX2 kernel: 
https://developer.blender.org/rB866c7fb6e63d128fa4800e28e0a091f874112344
** Split / Combine XYZ Nodes: 
https://developer.blender.org/rB3de3987ea190415d0d088c3917b45f44afb43840

I fixed some last minute errors on these things while merging, 
especially to CUDA support.

== Next week ==
I will look into "Store smooth normals only when used", might be a good 
next candidate, as this is related to the Attribute system as well.

== Questions ==
None.
