2024-11-28 Core Meeting

Everyone is welcome on the Google Meet linked below every other Thursday, alternating between 10:00 CET and 16:00 CET.

Present:

The meeting covers the core module topics (DNA/RNA, ID management, Depsgraph, Blendfile I/O, etc.) .

Links

Modules Reorganization:

  • Images & Movies sub-module has been moved from Core to the Pipeline & I/O module.
  • Asset System is now its own module, and not a sub-module from Pipeline & I/O.

On-Going Work

  • PointerRNA Ancestors: Bastien mainly did some profiling, things get slower as expected, but there are some optimizations possibles and all in all preformances remain good from initial testing.
  • Bastien worked on adding tests to validate py scripts needed for release on the buildbot versions of python.
  • Jacques has been cleaning up readfile and writefile code in preparation for the embedded linking project.
  • Campbell noticed that C++ BLI math API’s misses doc-strings from C, this should be fixed. Ideally, C API should now be a mere wrapper around C++ code.
  • Proposal: Make numpy a hard dependency (to help with ‘pythonic’ API for attributes e.g.). Should be discussed at next admin meeting.

Next Meeting

The next meeting will be on Thursday 12th December, 16:00 CET/Amsterdam time (your local time: 2024-12-12T15:00:00Z).

The provisional meeting agenda will be linked in the #Core module channel before the meeting.
