Official 2.40 alpha1 testing build

[ton]

Just in time before the conference, not the official release, but to try all the new stuff, and a good reference to test and file bug reports!

Release log:

Thanks everyone for making this happen.

Gah @_@ wooo python 2.4!!!! Subprocessing baby!!!!

Now I just need to model a good face to apply all those goodies too.

Hey but how come when you press shift+tab in the text editor it forces the mesh out of edit mode?



EDIT:
Probably expected but the Sub Division tag not longer works in python, most like due to the modifier impliment.

Another big milestone.



Questions:

- Why does blender start in the (ugly) edit button window, please change to render window.

- picture output tab has /tmp\

- please turn of backface culling by default. People can't do the gingerbread man because they can't select verteces that are obscured by other verteces.

- any reason that top 4 verteces of default cube are selected?

- Blender.html has the title "Blender v2.3x series"

- I hope the game engine makes the release, if not please don't include the blenderplayer.exe in the release.

- In view ctrl-mouse up is zoom out,... I guess you tried different things, but I would think up is forward thus zoom-ride in. Or are we reling the object in? (like a fisher catching a fish).

- Very nice splash.

AMAAAzingg Just had a quick play with the mirror modifier, this makes a lot of modelling tasks simpler and more intuative. Thanks Ton and co.

hello there,

I'm on fedora core 4 linux and neither of the two build for linux are working here for me

I'v got glibc 2.3.9 and python 2.4.1 installed

though I should mention I'm a novice linux user

any help would be welcome,

thanks in advance

The animation system looks very impressive. Will the pdf manual (both user and programming) be updated to explain how to work with the new features ? I only use blender to make game levels so i don't have enough modeling and animation background to deduce how it works.

What does the console output say?
Is this a 64bit fedora?

[pinhead_66]

nope, it's not a 64bit fedora

maybe the fact that my glibc is for i686 and not for i386 architecture?

I think that doesn't matter.
The console output?

[pinhead_66]

[pinhead_66]

its not a 64bit version

when trying to run it via a shell i get following error message

'error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory'

greets

[kidb]

'error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5:

Now guess what is missing.
Install libstdc++.so.5. Google will be your friend.

[pinhead_66]

well, some googling gave me this link

http://kb.bitdefender.com/KB220-en--Ins ... ore-4.html

and after installing 'compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-47.fc4.i386' through yum the test release works )

(wow, I actually solved a problem in linux)

thanks!
