This is great. +1 for Brecht's 8-week release cycle. My only concern is whether some users might get confused about the release versions. I think that instead of having 2.58 as the last release, we should skip to 2.60, and make it the base release for the 2.6x series. This would make sense (I

Big -1 for this, seriously let's not change the naming again! Ton and others decided on naming it 2.57 and 2.58 (Ton sent a mail with this in January to the ML). Let's stick to that! This is the n'th discussion about it on this list, and it starts to get annoying. ;-) Thomas Am 14.03.2011

I'm not a coder, but I guess one issue is to determine weather a branch is stable or not, and to know if it have been properly tested. Why don't do this in a more systematic, 'official' way than before: When a branch is getting near completion: 1. Set up a dedicated bug tracker for the branch,

Hi OSX devs, Apple's new development update XCode 4 now is available (only when you pay FIVE dollars!). Someone in irc mentioned blender doesn't compile (at all) for it. Further, this XCode revision drops compiling for older OSX versions (10.4 and 10.5) and the install removes all

Sorry. I had not realized that this was already set until today. I had figured we would be releasing 2.59 and then 2.60 and then working on new stuff, not finishing with 2.58. If I had known that I would have started protesting earlier. If we want to end with 2.58, then that's fine with me, I was
