New Blender was released, I am already using binary version from blender.org, but waiting for Arch package in the meantime...

So what's so special in this release?

You can flag packages out-of-date using the "Flag package out of date" link on their info pages.

(FWIW, blender has already been flagged OoD.)

A whole lot of things. See there.

Basically, this version has all the new features and fixes they needed to make Elephants Dream.

Every Blender major release is huge. That program is evolving at incredible speeds.

Is this even a major release? 2.41 to 2.42? They're truly amazing.

Blender release is always major release They put lots of new features in each one. In this version they added lots of things related to production of movie (see website).

anyone knows when we can expect a package for the new blender version?

Nope. But it is self contained in its own directory. For now you can just un-pack it and run it from where it is. Just make sure you have the correct Python version.

But it's not i686 by default

Someone needs to take care of the Ubuntu people, right?

From my experience, when the blender package has been flagged, it's usually been between 1-2 weeks before it's updated.

Gullible Jones · 2006-07-17 19:05:11

I wouldn't be surprised if that's due in part to compile times. :shock:

what does ubuntu have to do with this? Ubuntu, being a debian derivative is i386 with no i686 optimizations.

That's the point. It used to be a joke before it never became funny.
