Blender development todo list

Important: this page needs to be updated in face of 2.8.

Bug reporting

Blender is always a work-in-progress. This section will clearly list the known issues (todo items) for which you don't have to report on yet, or which have already been reported, but moved to this todo list.

Also respect the bug reporting guidelines on the bug submission page! A good bug report tells the simplest way for someone else to reproduce the problem.

Roadmap

For the Blender 2.6x series we will release in a series of bi-monthly steps; with stable branches first. Each release will be mostly stable, but include new functionality to be tested as well. UI and general design specifications for Blender will remain on 2.5 compatible level.

A related target or Blender remains to keep improving apis or modules, to enable larger groups of developers to work in parallel on projects.

What not to report

User expectations ("I would expect this to work...") - unless you have evidence it should work (it worked before, or code is supposed to work).

Breaking Backward Compatibility

Todos that would imply breaking backward compatibility (i.e. a file saved with a newer Blender would not open, or open with some odd stuff, under an older Blender).
