Hi everyone,

The year is almost over. I would like to hear feedback on this topic - whether it was useful or if lead to a benefit for using Blender in studios or companies.

Thanks,

-Ton-

Hi everyone,

Blender has always been an early adopter of new libraries. We moved to Python 3 ten years ago already. Unfortunately that made Blender incompatible with the Python 2.7 infrastructure in many studios. But the industry is catching up! Python 3.7 is now the reference standard.

To give studios enough time and confidence to check out on Blender, I propose to respect the VFX Platform versions for the entire year of 2020. That implies we will be very conservative with upgrading libraries, for example Python will stick to 3.7 this year for official releases.

I've checked it with the core team and administrators, and they're OK - provided this won't hold back essential improvements for our users.

Check the reference platform here:
