Developer Meeting Notes, January 29, 2012

Blender 2.62 release is still planned for 2.5 weeks from now, FFmpeg gets an update and new render passes for Cycles are being looked in to.

Here’s the notes from today’s IRC meeting:
1) Blender 2.62 planning

• We’re now in “BCon3“, the new features are in svn now and get fixed or finalized.
• Release planning still valid, 2.62 could be out in about two-and-a-half weeks.
• Proposal: let’s do a call for an official test build mid this week already. And then do a week later an official RC.
• Sergey Sharybin mentions: FFmpeg has 0.10 release, which will get added to Blender now. He can do this for Linux and Windows, will need help from Jens Verwiebe for OS X.
• 2.62 Release log in progress. (Brecht, could you update this with Carve, Cycles, as you did so wonderfully for 2.61?)
• Remark: can Cycles get more passes, like light contribution or shadow? Brecht looks into it.
• The 2.62 Splash Committee is: Kevin Hays, Per Gantelius and Wray Bowling.

2) Other projects

• Nicholas Bishop will work on merging GSoC sculpt branch from Jason (Dev Fund supported)
• Lukas Toenne patch is ready for group nodes (documentation).

Thanks,
-Ton-

Developer Meeting Notes, Fabruary 5, 2012

Posted on February 6, 2012 by Bart
Blender 2.62 is in BCON4 now (testbuilds, only essential bugfixes), and the developers are considering an expedited 2.63 release that contains only BMesh!
Ton Roosendaal writes:

1) Blender 2.62 progress

• Current planning in wiki.
• Blender bug tracker was brought down last week from 200 to 119 open issues! Kudos to Brecht/Campbell/Sergey who combined forces last week.
• We now move to BCon4 (Only crucial bug fixes), will do a call for an release candidate build tomorrow.
• Domino Marama and Juha Maki-Kanto have been working on fixing up Collada, last patch for this goes to svn within a day. It should now work fine for Second Life export again.
• Jens Verwiebe noticed a “Boost” library conflict in Blender, between Cycles – LuxRender add-on. He’s working with Brecht on solving this now.
• Release log is in progress, please check if your work is there. (And we can use pictures too!)
• We decide whether to release (or not) on next Sunday’s meeting.

2) Other projects

• Masks in blender: Sergey has updated document with data design.
• BMesh: is near final now! Campbell committed last big hurdle, for particle/hair support.
• Proposal: the next 2.63 release gets an exclusive BMesh-focus, other work should be done respecting it, or wait for 2.64 (especially bigger features that need testing time). Once BMesh is in trunk, we could move to BCon3 immediately (testing/fixing period, no new features added) and release 2.63 in less than two months.
• Next sunday and the sunday after we decide on a final 2.63 release plan.
• Google Summer of Code is starting up again. Ton will keep track of the process, but a coordinator volunteer is welcome again.

אז מה שחרור גרסה עוד שבועיים?

Blender 2.63 development is in BCon3 now and we’ve been accepted by the Google Summer of Code.​

Here’s the notes from today’s developer meeting in irc.freenode.net #blendercoders.
1) Blender 2.63

• Campbell worked on BMesh last week. Weekly report. Or in short: X3D is working, BMesh python api has customdata access (UVs, vcolors, shapes), old trunk bevel modifier back (was todo we talked of a while back).
• Bevel tool for modeling: we have permission to use the method and code from the Google Sketchup RoundCorner Plugin. Howard Trickey works on porting it, first in Python to validate it though.
• Brecht: I am working on ramps, motion vectors for cycles, shadow pass, background images view with cycles, and separate control for AA samples vs. other samples to make rendering simple passes/layers quicker. Should go to svn next week.
• Ton: bug tracker has 210 open reports, everyone is invited to check and fix!
• As planned, we now move to BCon3 status (polishing and fixing period).
• BMesh docs can use upgrade. Howard Trickey volunteers to get Knife tool page upgraded.

2) Other projects

• Most of the meeting time went to troll hunting. Some kiddie thinks it’s fun to spoil our irc and the mango blog. For now (hopefully temporary) the #blendercoders channel will only voice people with a registered freenode nick. That’s common anyway.

3) Google Summer of Code (GSoC)

• Blender has been accepted again! Mentors can sign up now.
• This week we can still tweak our ideas page. Tom Musgrove does a call for everyone to advertise our gsoc opportunity at your university computer science and CG departments.

Laters,
-Ton-
