Changelog:
New features include initial support for volumetrics in Cycles, and faster rendering of hair and textures. The motion tracker now supports weighted tracks and has improved planar tracking. For mesh modeling there are new Laplacian deform and wireframe modifiers, along with more control in the bevel tool. The game engine now supports object levels of detail.
The first results from the new user interface project are also in this release, with dozens of changes to make the interface more consistent and powerful. This is also the first release of the multithreaded dependency graph, which makes modifier and constraint evaluation faster in scenes with multiple objects.
Cycles Rendering
Cycles now has initial support for volume rendering including emission, absorption and scattering. Volume rendering can be used to render effects like fire, smoke, mist, absorption in glass, and many other effects that can't be represented by surface meshes alone.
CPU rendering performance was improved, particularly for hair, textures and Open Shading Language.
Motion Tracker
Trackers can now be weighted, to keep the result stable as feature disappear or become difficult to track. The plane track workflow was improved to be easier to control. Automatic feature detection was made more robust using a new detector algorithm.
User Interface
The toolbar now has tabs to organize tools in categories. Multiple buttons can now be edited at once, for example for XYZ axes or color channels. Transform tools now have a mode to enter expressions and units. Other changes were done to improve lists, header menus, tooltips, buttons, menus and more.
Modeling
The Laplacian Deform modifier was added to pose a mesh while preserving geometric details of the surface, and a new wireframe modifier allows you transform your mesh into a wireframe representation. The boolean modifier now supports ngons, and there are improvements to the bevel, screw and triangulate modifiers.
The bevel tool now offers more control over the bevel profile and results, and the knife tool was improved as well.
Threaded Dependency Graph
An important change that happened under the hood is the threaded dependency graph. This means that object modifiers and constraints, among other things, can now be computed with multiple threads taking advantage of multicore processors. This will be most noticeable with scenes that have many objects, or multiple objects with heavy modifiers. This is the first step in making the dependency graph in Blender more powerful.
Game Development
The Blender game engine now supports discrete level of detail for meshes. For game developers, support for working with Photoshop PSD files has been added.
A new view navigation walk mode has been added, which has a control scheme as typically found in first person shooter games. This can be useful for game developers to navigate levels as if in a game.
Freestyle NPR Rendering
The Freestyle Python API is an essential part that makes it a highly programmable NPR rendering engine. This API has been reorganized.
More Features
Many small changes and features were done all over Blender. Some notable new feature are normalized display for FCurves, derivative map baking, baking to vertex colors, better visualization of masks and control over mask filling, gravity option for sculpting, negative texture values to support vector displacement and a Lamp Data shading node to create more customized NPR shaders.
Feature Videos
For a visual demonstration of some of the new features in this release, check out the feature videos created during the development of this release.
Addons
Several addons have been added and updated, including Node Wrangler (aka Node Efficiency Tools) and a new Sketchfab Exporter addon
Bug Fixes
In addition to the new features, over 560 bugs that existed in previous releases have been fixed.
upstream or submitted for upstream. Import changes:
A new hidden wire display option was added to help with retopology. Mesh
Bisect is a new tool to cut meshes in half. The Bridge, Edgenet fill,
Grid fill and Symmetrize tools were improved. New curve and lattice
editing tools were added too.
Hair rendering was improved with a new Hair shader and reorganized
settings. Subsurface scattering uses a new sampling algorithm and now
supports bump mapping and texture blurring. Sky rendering now uses a
more accurate sky model. New blackbody, vector transform and HSV nodes
were added. The non-progressive integrator was renamed to Branched Path
Integrator, and is now available for GPU rendering.
The Motion tracker now supports plane tracking, which can be used to
replace billboards, screens and other flat things in footage.
Lists in the user interface can now be resized, sorted and filtered.
Further there are small improvements for vertex parenting, empty
objects, the shrinkwrap modifier, mask editing, armatures, f-curves and
drivers.
FBX Import support has been added and FBX/OBJ can now export split
normals (without the need for the edge split modifier).
In addition to the new features, over 270 bugs that existed in previous
releases have been fixed.

DESTDIR support
2.45
The 2.45 is a bugfix release, to stabilize the 2.4x series.
No new feature have been added, but serious effort has been put in
tracking bugs and fixing them. Some performance issues have also been
addressed.
2.44
This release adds subsurface scattering, improved sculpting tools, ffmpeg
support for additional platforms, a number of animation tool improvements,
and a huge number of Python scripts and API enhancements.
2.43
This release features sculpting meshes that work as if they were clay,
render passes, retopology painting, multi-resolution meshes, texture map
and light map baking, support for multiple uv sets, fast 3D painting,
defocus blur node, multi-layer image read/write, painting in video
sequences, matte, key, and difference composite nodes, a number of
improved 3D animation tools such as proxy objects, walk cycles, simulation
tool improvements for fluid dynamics, hard body dynamics, and cloth and
softbody dynamics. There were also additional compositing and video
editing improvements.
2.42
This release is the result of work done for the Elephants Dream short
film. It includes major feature additions such as node based materials,
node based compositing, a renderer rewrite, improved UV tools, improved
character tools, an array modifier, and a host of other improvements.
Finder, some copying to and from a local buffer in main is done, without
argument checking.
When a web browser or MUA is configured to start Blender automatically,
this might be exploitable to gain priviledges of the current user.
This is related to CVE-2005-3151.
* GLSL pixel and vertex shaders
* Full access to Blenders material capabilities
* Split screen and multi-viewports
* Number of fixes were made to the physics system
* Return of the armature capabilities
* Appending from files does not set the string for "last loaded file". That could give an accidentally save over of used library files.
* International Font support was broken for non-Latin fonts.
* Other fixes
adding a check in configure as I'd like to because it does not have any
AC_CHECK_FUNCS call that I could easily use to do this (the diff could
be quite big).
- 3D Window: while moving Camera Object in camera view, the constraint
line was drawn incorrect.
- 3D Window: the Transform Panel displayed wrong when in FaceSelect or
VertexPaint mode.
- 3D Window: in the MKEY "move to layer" menu, the numeric hotkeys were
mixed up
- Ipo Window: in newly created Ipo Windows the Transform Panel was drawn
with zero size
- Rendering: autosmooth was always on when Material option "Radio" was
set... should only be done when render option "Radio" was set too.
- OSX: restored CTRL+F12 or ALT+F12 for rendering when your system ejects
CDROM with F12 (ahem!).
- OSX: fixed bug in using texture and sequence plugins (thanks Bischofftep!).
In the distro are sample compiled plugins (.so) included.
- MS Windows: the File Browse window displayed wrong path/filename on
attempt to read a non-existing directory.
- Added for the manual designers: when you want to make screenshot with a
pulldown or popup menu in it, press (alt+)ctrl+f3 while the menu is
visible, then ESC, and press (alt+)ctrl+f3 again. Note the (alt+) is
for OSX users only.
package (blender-doc) and add the various build definitions to BUILD_DEFS.
Changes since 2.28:
- Added buttons drawing Theme 'Rounded'. This uses a new feature in button
code that enables aligning buttons in groups together. Will be implemented
for the default 'Shaded' theme later.
- New default startup file built in. Only shows when you delete .B.blend in
your home directory. It has mainly been designed to match the 2.3 manual
best. Most obvious change is not starting with a 4-split 3D Window anymore.
- Important note: all buttons to call an "Image Select Browser" have been
removed from Blender. This is instable code, and caused far too many crashes.
The functionality is still accessible though by holding CTRL while pressing
a "Load" button for images. This as 'undocumented' feature for power users. :)
- Mesh Subdivision Surfaces: now supports 'hide' option as well (HKEY).
--- Python:
- New module: Lattice
- New module: Texture (mostly done already, only missing access to Ipo,
EnvMap, ColorBand & Plugin)
- Bugfix: Object.makeParent
- NMesh: new vertex grouping methods: .renameVertGroup, .getVertGroupNames
- Doc updates
--- Bug fixes:
- Interface: removing a window edge (Join Areas) sometimes removed the wrong
edge. Was a very old bug... but showed up in new standard default file.
- AntiAlias fonts: file paths longer than 64 characters caused crash.
Is 256 now.
- Themes: switching main Theme didn't update button draw type for Theme
buttons themselves.
- IpoWindow: using the new Transform Properties Panel, some buttons caused
the event being handled double, giving weird results.
- IpoWindow: Sometimes the Transform Properties Panel was drawn with zero
size. Added a more strict version check for this to prevent it.
- F6 Texture Buttons: browsing a new texture for a Lamp only gave the
"Add New" option.
- F6 Texture Buttons: the "Default Vars" now resets the environment mapping
settings as well.
- UV Image Editor: saving an image (after using Texture Paint) now is in
same type as original image (was Targa only).
- 3D Window: when using a SpotLight in 'Textured Draw mode' (aka Potato
mode) the 'Solid Draw mode' turned out black. (Bug since 2.0!)
- 3D Window: the MKEY 'movetolayer' option doesn't close anymore on numeric
input. Somewhere before 2.25 this was changed... weird. Now you can set
layers with numeric buttons, including using ALT for numbers larger than
10, and using SHIFT for extend-select buttons. Press OK or Enter to close
the menu.
- 3D Window: CTRL+1 (or 2,3,4) crashed when no Object as active. This hotkey
is for setting subdivision level for Meshes.
- 2.30 error: clicking to select Objects at same location now correctly
cycles through the available Objects again.
- 2.30 error: CTRL+SHIFT+F3 allows screen capture of entire Blender window
again. (For OSX: also press ALT for screen capture).
- 2.30 error: the "Emulate 2 button mouse" option, allowing ALT+LeftMouse
for MiddleMouse now works again.
- Fixed in Unified render (now is actually usable!):
- alpha was wrong for halos with lines or rings
- halo rendering wrong combined with spothalo
- no antialiasing with sky when rendering spothalo
- cleaned some weird usage of gamma for spothalo and sky
(when rendering sky + spothalo, sky got gamma corrected
(Note: "Unified render" renders all in a single pass, whilst normally
Blender renders in separate layers for opaque faces, transparent faces,
halos and sky. The layers then are merged using alpha, which can cause
several (depth) errors.)
- When rendering a 'square spot' it displayed rotated wrong in an Environment Map.
- When rendering Material with option "Wire", rendering in parts gave errors.
- When rendering a Mesh with multiple users (linked-duplicates) it caused a
crash when it used UV faces.
- Rendering specular highlights for Sun light works correctly again.
- Pressing ESC during rendering now reacts immediately again. This was reported
fixed before, but accidentally un-committed from the code.
- Rendering shadeless Material with UV "TexFace" option had a wrong gamma.
- Rendering started with mouse cursor in a 3D window now renders "Local View"
or unlocked layer settings again.
- Rendering with Meshes using "Smooth" appearance always had "Auto smooth"
set on. Was introduced for Radiosity render in 2.28c. Now it only uses
"Auto smooth" when the radiosity render is actually used.
- Removed old hack from rendering, which enabled a "Border" render in a
previously rendered image. It was badly implemented and crashed too often.
Related to this, code was cleaned up which prevents errors as reported in
rendering with "Border" and "Fields".
- The default built-in font was not rendered when using background rendering
(blender -b on commandline).
- Converting a 3D closed curve (Bezier or NURBS) to a Mesh (ALT+C) the result
was a bunch of unconnected vertices.
- Constraints: Fixed the lag with Follow Path.
- Constraints: prevented creating endless loops.
- Mesh Vertex Keys: now can have up to 64k vertices, was 32k.
- Mesh Editmode: using Undo caused vertex colors and UV texture information to
get lost.
- Mesh Editmode: using Undo caused 'hide' status of vertices being lost. Solved
by storing this in the Mesh themselves, so the 'hide' status will be restored
when leaving/entering EditMode.
- Mesh EditMode: the Knife Tool sometimes cut unselected edges as well
- Mesh Editmode: Fixed crash when try to faceloop-cut (SHIFT+R, CTRL+R) with a
Mesh having an edge that didn't belong to any face. These tools now also update
the vertex counter as displayed in 'Info header'.
- Mesh object: "Subdiv" level 0 and draw type "Optimal" caused Mesh not drawing
in EditMode.
- Armatures/Meshes: using "Parent Armature->Name Groups" puts the Mesh in a state
that is ready for weight paint.
- MetaBalls: the displaylists were re-created for each redraw of 3d window, causing
an enormous slowdown. Now it runs smooth again. (Old bug!)
- Blender didn't rename 'temp save' file to quit.blend at quit. Was reported on
OSX and Linux.
- Materials: The stencil option only worked for one channel with normal-mapping.
Now it works for all as it's supposed to be.
- OSX: using the F10 RenderButtons "Play" option now pops the window to the front.
This also for starting blender from command line.
- OSX: the preferred AntiAlias font couldnt be written in .b.blend (unless you
manually install the font in ~/.blender/)
- MS Windows, Blender Text editor: Using clipboard to copy/paste text (CTRL+C
and CTRL+V) works with correct line endings.
---- Various fixes:
- Interface: cleaned up aligning and positioning of buttons in most Panels
(for manual)
- Added decorations to 'Minimal' buttons Theme to make it usable, also restored
the 2.2x drawing style for buttons as 'OldSkool' Theme.
- 2.30 error: in 3D window selecting Objects wasn't updated correctly in all
situations.
- 2.30 error: CTRL+LeftMouse click allows selecting Objects in EditMode again.
- 2.30 error, the new toolbox and floating menus were closed when mouse left the
menu immediately. Is now a safety of 40 pixels again.
- Action Window: zooming in increased with factor 5.
- Buttons Window: the Panel background color+alpha is part of Theme settings now.
- 3D window, when setting a render border in camera view (SHIFT+B) the
associated render option is set as well.
- 3D Window: OpenGL render option is icon in window header again, and now
uses Theme Color for background as well.
- 3D Window: a Constraint now draws a blue dashed line to its parent.
- 3D Window: Enter EditMode from FaceSelect mode correctly selects vertices again
- 3D Window: transform option (SKEY) allows typing in zero scaling value.
- 3D Window: Warp transform option (SHIFT+WKEY) allows typing in values.
- 3D Window: the header didn't display 'Mesh' pulldown menu when VertexPaint
mode and EditMode were both active.
- 3D Window: modes 'VertexPaint' and 'Weightpaint' and 'Texturepaint' allow
drawmode wire-extra again.
- Image Window: the buttons in header were messed up in 2.30
- TextEditor window: the hotkeys ALT+N (new) and ALT+O (open) now also work when
no 'text block' is active or available in Blender.
- File Browse window: text sometimes was drawn over outer border.
- Theme for TextWindow now allows color for text as well.
- F5 MaterialButtons: when you set "Halo", and "Star", then disable "Halo",
the "TexFace" button was set. The fix also prevents RGB from being reaset to 1.0.
- F5 MaterialButtons: "OB" and "ME" buttons in 2nd Panel didnt work properly.
Also the "1 Mat 1" buttons didnt display in all situations.
- F6 TextureButtons: "Crop and Anim" Panel had wrong name... now "Anim and
Movie". This Panel now draws buttons always, because it is for the 'anim option'
(sequence of files) which is different from 'movie' option (single file).
- F6 ObjectButtons: added to the Constraint Panel buttons indicating the
'Active Bone' or 'Active Object', like previously (2.2x) was drawn in
constraint buttons header.
- F6 TextureButtons: Colorband color sliders didnt update the colorband
- F9 EditButtons: moved vertex group buttons to first Panel. These buttons
should be available outside editmode as well.
- F9 EditButtons: changed decimator slider into number-button, with only 1
vertex in Mesh the slider didn't display OK. The slider also provided
insufficient space for the full text.
- Constraints: sometimes its data was not available (null) after reading
file, causing a crash. Code has been secured.
- In render output window; using Pad-plus and minus zoom now always
includes a zoom level 1.0 now.
- Mesh EditMode: Knife tool now has correct cursor, for all platforms.
- Mesh EditMode, Knife Tool: ESC for pop-up menu was not handled, and
pressing ENTER at pop-up menu caused 'mouse trail' call to exit.
- OSX: is now compiled with optimizing, giving a speed gain of 10-20%.
- OSX: using the Apple Quicktime dialog when choosing a movie format
(F10 render buttons) still can cause a freeze when you choose the
"Options" button. This has been verified by Apple as a system bug. We
added a warning when you choose this option in Blender.
package, most notably the fact that blender is now Open Source Software, and
we can thus compile it instead of using binary only packages. The new homepage
is http://www.blender.org.
This package tested under NetBSD/i386, NetBSD/macppc and Linux/i386 -- other
platforms are encouraged to test, but hardly any modifications should be necessary.
