Ongoing Work
- MEM_guardedalloc improvements: Bastien finished the refactors. There is still on-going work to update & improve documentation for it, as well as porting the existing codebase to the new type-safe, templated allocation whenever possible.
Embedded Linked ID
- Jacques still need to merge its initial PR for basic, backward-compatible shallow and deep ID hash into the main working branch.
- Bastien merged the initial version of archive library.
Blender 5.0
- The 2GB PR by Jacques is still in progress. Sergey raised the point that the thumbnailer code also needs to be double-checked, to ensure that it will effectively not attempt to open new, incompatible blendfiles.
- Hans is also making good progress on replacing CustomData with AttributeStorage in the blendfile itself.
- Bastien worked on the initial proof-of-concept PR for the split of IDProperties storage between user-defined and system-defined ones.
Other
Some discussion with Sean about ideas of using global (memfile) undo in sculpt and paint modes.
Next Meeting
The next meeting will be on Thursday 27th March, 10:00 CET/Amsterdam time (your local time: 2025-03-27T09:00:00Z).
NOTE: Bastien won’t be able to organize and attend this one, so it might be skipped.
The provisional meeting agenda will be linked in the Core Meetings Overview thread before the meeting.
