News about Blender second release candidate and other projects.

The Chairman Blender Foundation and producer Blender Institute, Mr. Ton Roosendaal come with this news about second release candidate and other projects:

Hi everyone,

Here are notes from today's 14 UTC meeting in irc.freenode.net 

#blendercoders.

1) Blender 2.78 RC2

- Second release candidate is out! 
http://download.blender.org/release/Blender2.78/

- Release logs are also taking shape:
https://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Ref/Release_Notes/2.78
https://www.blender.org/features/2-78/

Based on tracker reporting and further testing we either do a RC3 or 

the actual release this week. Sergey Sharybin and Bastien Montagne are

 monitoring it closely.

2) Other projects and 2.8

- Currently Blender for OSX links to an Apple system library for 

quicktime (qtkit).
This has been deprecated for long, and will be removed from 

XCode 10.12.
We have to decide if we want to drop this, and make Blender for 

OS X use ffmpg for 
all codecs.

- Julian Eisel uploaded custom manipulators patch for review 
https://developer.blender.org/D2232
Code docs

- Mike Erwin is in Amsterdam, with Dalai Felinto and others 

he will do design sessions
on the 2.8 viewport. Expect interesting logs and docs!

Thanks,

-Ton-
