2.44a update

Martin and Campbell discovered a Python API bug in NMesh.getSelectedFaces(), which broke some frequently used scripts. Ton did not want to do a 2.44a release on all platforms just for this, since bugs are found all the time. Discussion went back and forth over whether this should require a re-release on all platforms or not, and how get the necessary sources from the trunk branch to do it.

The decision was made to only release 2.44a for Windows, but to include this Python API fix. If users on other operating systems start to complain, then see about doing 2.44a builds for them also.

Google SoC

Brecht suggested that all SoC students make some design docs this week so they could be reviewed before too much coding takes place.

• Render API: Ton has asked Bobby Parker and Mathias Wein to come up with a very simple pseudo-code API for what they think would ideally work for their projects (Aqsis, yafray).
• GLSL Shader Editing: was working on integration of GLEW (OpenGL Extension Wrangler Library), and needed some help on Makefiles and for creating SConstruct for it. (Note: GLEW detects graphic card driver extensions) Chris Want will help with Makefile integration.
• Blender Audio System Clean-up: Csaba has been researching how sound works in sequencer window, and plans to move every feature to SoundSystem lib. He and Bob are discussing the design plans.
