The very first release in the Blender 2.5 series is a fact. The first lines of code for it were coded back in 2007/2008, with the development pace picking up since Wintercamp 2009.

Thanks to the hard work of many developers Blender has now an amazing array of new features and improvements, like editable keymaps, new animation tools, improved and unified data API, and so on.

Grab your copy if you’re up for some alpha release testing :) (note: alpha means incomplete, features may change, and potentially unstableness. Yet, I think we have done quite a great job for an alpha release!)

I have had yet again the honour of creating the packages for Windows, both 32bit and 64bit. For now I have decided to do only .zip archives, as the installer is another project all by itself. The old one had so many issues, that I didn’t want to have it annoy people more than it should. It will be worked on, but for now it is not a main target. A new script for creating an installer has been submitted by Bobalicious, but it needs testing and improving before it can be called stable and usable with confidence.

Hopefully the packages work out for all users. If you experience any problems, then please, comment on my blog. I’ll try to address all arising issues and answer them as soon as possible.
