First of all, not sure if a 2.79C build is planned. But we've noticed something odd recently. Namely, that nightly builds of 2.79 use python version 3.7.0, whereas the "released" 2.79b build uses 3.5.3
Not a big deal, it's python right? Well except there are plenty of addons that use C-Extensions for python. On certain platforms (windows particularly) a python C-Extension is not forward compatible (unless you use some particular limited feature set). So addon users get errors when trying to use "2.79" versions of addons that use c-extensions. Furthermore, I would claim from a release management standpoint, if you're calling something a 2.79 build of Blender, it should not be switching python versions. Basic api compatibility. I'm assuming the reason this was done was that you're using the same build machines for 2.80 which uses python 3.7, but it is possible to run multiple versions of python on one machine. Can this be fixed please? Brian _______________________________________________ Bf-committers mailing list Bf-committers@blender.org https://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers
