@David Jordan, we have plans for the sequencer and have already added some small editing improvements but will probably post on this later.

@bert, http://www.graphicall.org/builds/ Builds that simply give a svn revision number are the same builds the artists are using..
eg
* svn r24211 linux 64bit
* Blender 2.5 Freestyle/collada/soundsystem – these are not vanilla builds.

just curious, i know there are alot of people building thier own version of 2.5, but where do you get the most up to date one that is reliable.

i saw the page where they are listed, but there are sooo many to choose from. which is the correct one?

i dont do programming, i just want to mess around in it.

It may be a bit early for this, but you guys might think about making the sequencer more user friendly for editing video. Should make it better for the artists to edit on Durian and would be a huge boon to video editing on Linux if Blender has a good (including shallow learning curve!) ui for this.

@Stefan Ansersson, everyone has a different idea of whats important so we cant give every use case attention, Durian development is focusing on our artists needs (and a bit on 2.5), if Softimage users want to get together and write/fund global axis adjustment feature thats fine.

@FishB8, all artists use svn and build on their own systems (daily – in the morning or through the day when they need some fix)

We tried having a central build early on but it makes debugging hard when the user is running a Blender thats a few hours older then the source on the server, which give line mis-matches on crash logs.

Having their own builds also means we can give patches to artists (for eg, The gimbal axis feature was applied only to Lee’s system the day he asked for it, but gave the patch to Martin to review for inclusion in blender a week later – since Martin maintains the transform system)
