Hello, everyone!
Here is my another weekly report. This time it is slightly delayed, because of the release of Synfig Studio 0.64.1. That’s right, we finally got it released! Read the release notes and download!
Now we can merge the “0.64.1” branch into the “master” and continue development towards 0.65.0! There are also some other things pending to merge into the “master” branch, which I can’t wait to test. The release procedure took much of my time, preventing me from testing the actual development version, so I’m very excited to have this opportunity again.
Meanwhile Ivan is fixed one particulary nasty bug, which prevented many of us from using development version. He is also made some progress on Gtk3 migration, but it’s still far from completion.
On November 1st me and Ivan had initial discussion about the priority of this month - the Bones feature. It turned out quite unexpected for me. For example, after 3 hours of brainstorming we come to conclusion that it’s better to stick with existing Skeleton Layer, instead of implementing the Bone Layer. That’s right, I have to admit that my proposal to have Bone Layer was not a good idea. Right now Ivan studies the bones documentation and does some initial tests.
Last week we also finished the English voicing of Synfig training package. Now it’s pending to fit the recorded text to the video and prepare both Russian nad English versions for publication. We’re heading to release the training package this month, so it will be quite a hot time!
One more thing to mention. This weekly report indicates the start of the 4th month of Ivan’s full time work. This month wouldn’t be possible without the support we have recieved through our fundraising campaigns in September and October. Let’s say thank you to all people who supported our campaign and made this happen.
I wouldn’t hesitate to list them all here:
Thank you!
