Week 53: 3d - 9th September
This week was mainly spent on finishing color management pipeline changes. It's taking a bit more time than i expected it, but we're quite close to finish. Communicating with Brecht about changes. At this point we need to get rid of old Color Management flag which is misleading. Also interface and color picking were a bit challenging and will require some more time to finally resolve the issue.
- General development
- Fix for usage of un-initialized memory in GLSL shading with nodes
- Fix for compositor always cacheing frames when using Movie Clip input node
- Bug-tracker work
- Color management work
- Remove hardcoded ACES ODT tonemap, if it'll be needed it's possible to bake it into LUT or write some smarter rule for OCIO
- OpenColorIO configuration file cleanup:
- Remove unused spaces
- Move Rec709 to own display, so it now makes more sense from users POV
- Fixes for color sample information line
- Make sequencer's scopes work in display space
- Fix for crash of tiled image draw
- Made OpenColorIO transformations aware of color unpremultiply
- RGB curves transform as a part of display transform -- alternative for per-image space RGB curves which weren't working smoothly
- Sequencer work
- Remove strip's color balance in favor of modifiers. Versioning code happens nicely for older files, opening new files in older Blender wouldn't be so smooth..
- Avoid allocating image buffer on every modifier -- gives some boost
- Cache currently displaying scopes, so panning/zoom wouldn't re-calculate scopes from scratch
- Multi-threaded histogram calculation
Fixed: 3, Patches: 6, Closed: 6.
Week 54: 10th - 16th September
- General development
- Fixed missing sequencer cache invalidation in some circumstances
- Bug-tracker work
- Color management work
- Completely get rid of old Color Management flag, compatibility is preserved by using special display device and input file spaces. Could still be some regressions, will check with Brecht further and document all the cases.
- Reworked image buffer loading, so image data block's input space is now in fact space of file itself (before it was a space of image buffer after load, which is wrong for 16 bit PNG, i.e.)
- Cleaned up interface, by renaming spaces to more meaningful names, reshuffeling settings in panels a bit to make it clear what they're affecting on. Added check for if particular color space could be used as input space
- Enabled color management for byte buffers (originally was needed to preserve compatibility with older files, but it's nice to have such support anyway)
- Got rid of image buffer's profile flag. It was misleading and now float buffers are always linear, byte color space is defined by imbuf->rect_colorspace descriptor
- Completely merged tomato into trunk, docs-in-progress
- Sequencer work
- Added option to calculate strip modifiers in linear space. It was needed to preserve compatibility with current mango edit file which was accidentally graded in linear space (it was a bug in sequencer rendering pipeline which made modifiers applied on effect strip be calculated in linear space)
Fixed: 2, Patches: 7, Closed: 1.

- Implemented GRIC+correspondence based keyframe selection algorithm. Commited to tomato branch, still could be improved, but should already be helpful for non-geek artists.
