Improvements and bug fixes
Most bundled scripts have been updated.
In general, improvements include better stability, usability and error handling, speed or at least updates to follow our guidelines and use newer API resources.
In particular, many import and export scripts have been improved.

Removed
For this release some scripts have been removed. As always, reasons for this decision can be any of:
- New features added to Blender itself make this script unnecessary.
- There's another (somehow preferred) script with the same functionality.
- The script is buggy or needs improvements, but there is nobody mantaining it.
- Mesh: Mirror Bone Weights (mirror_bone_weights.py)
- Mesh: Bbrush (mesh_bbrush.py)
- UV: Relax selected UVs (uv_relax.py)

Projects
Manual
We're starting the Blender Scripts Manual in this very wiki. Right now there are only a few examples there. With time we expect to have online documentation for all bundled scripts, at least.
Our goal is to produce good quality material: readable, detailed and well illustrated. Volunteers always welcomed.

- Thread about improving scripts, where we discussed this project, too.
Catalog
Throughout the years hundreds (maybe thousands) of useful, interesting, amusing scripts have been written for Blender. Many of them have been available online, in sites and forums, for a while, but eventually became unmantained, unknown to most users, hard to find or even were lost.
Brendon Murphy (Meta-Androcto) began the extensive task of collecting Blender Python scripts to preserve them, to let other users find what they want and to help making those that don't work with current Blender releases be updated, if possible (*).
(*) It's not hard for a Python coder to update an old script, usually it's even trivial. The issue is licensing, actually. If we don't have permission from the original author, we can't do it. But at the very least, knowing about an old useful script and its features can be enough for an author to create something new out of it.
Some months ago Brendon was invited to expand on this work officially and for that he created the Scripts Catalog in Blender's wiki and has been updating it since then, with many entries already added. Future plans include better structuring of the data, helper scripts to handle it and, naturally, more scripts cataloged.
Installer
Levi Schooley (reD_Fox) started researching and working on a script that can become our bundled installer, the user-friendly way to install scripts in Blender. Here's the official thread in the Python & Plugins forum at Blender Artists, with links to the script in its current state and preliminary documentation:
Thanks
As always, thanks to the script authors for creating and updating their scripts. Thanks also to users reporting problems and suggesting new features. We also welcome new volunteers, like Brendon and Levi, working in new projects to raise the bar on Blender scripts and scripting. Last but not least, thanks to all programmers adding features to Blender and making them available to the Blender Python API.
