Week 069 - 01/03 to 01/09

Huge week, merged 'transfer data' into master, kept porting over master part of asset branch and working on it, and did quite a bit of bug hunting again (one FBX beast took me a whole day to tame :/ ).

    • Worked on (unreported) issue that mat/tex/etc. preview icons usually not being available when saving .blend files (patch from asset branch, D970, 820b6b37310fe, was actually bad, mainly because you need to render mat previews with their own render engine, needs more work here, see D980).
Fixed: 7; Closed: 19;
  • Next week:
    • Usual BT & patches work…
    • Keep working on file/asset browser.
