Week of 2016-mar-07

  • Blender ID: Made default set of OAuth clients more generic/configurable.
  • Blender ID: Fixed bug in updating addresses
  • Blender ID: No longer using deprecated TextField alias for StringField
  • Blender ID: Moved from Country database table to using pycountry. This allows running the migrations on an empty database.
  • Blender ID: Upgraded to latest WTForms (2.1)
  • Blender ID: Documented commands to get Blender ID working.
  • Blender ID: Added token expiry and removed one-token-per-client
  • Blender ID Addon: Replaced SystemUtility and ProfilesUtility with modules.
  • Blender ID Addon: Moved all files to a blender_id subdirectory, so that it can be imported & used by other addons.
  • Blender ID Addon: Create profiles.json with the correct permissions.
  • Blender ID Addon: Added verification of auth token.
  • Pillar: Configured logging.
  • Pillar: Fixed security hole.
  • Pillar: Fixed permission check.
  • Pillar SDK: set up unit testing with Tox.
  • Pillar SDK: allow SDK to override MongoDB projections and include required fields.
  • Blender Cloud Addon: created addon, has Python functions for fetching texture information.
  • Blender Cloud Addon: allow browsing texture library from Pillar, still uncached.
  • Blender Cloud Addon: using Python 3.5's new asyncio features to make the addon work without blocking Blender's UI
  • Blender: bundled Certificate Auth certificates with Blender (9f8311ee8871, will be included in 2.77)
  • Blender: investigated EnumProperty's icon view ability to stay open and allow file-browsing. Conclusion: for now it's not usable.

High-level description:

  • Blender ID can be installed on an empty database (previously required a clone of the production DB), and this process is documented.
  • Made preparations to offer a Blender ID API to other addons.
  • Fixed security holes in Pillar; 1) where an attacker could overwrite all files, including Pillar itself, and 2) where permissions weren't properly checked.
  • Created alpha version of Blender Cloud texture browser, and exposed limitations of Blender's EnumProperty icon view.
  • The Cloud addon is now using Python 3.5's new asyncio features to work without blocking Blender's UI.

Week of 2016-mar-01

  • Installed desktop & got Blender Cloud/ID environment running locally.

  • Blender ID: Allow running Alembic in Docker
  • Blender ID Addon: various bugfixes, code flow/layout optimizations, warning fixes
  • Blender ID Addon: security fixes
  • Blender ID Addon: Implemented special snowflake BlenderID authentication
