Blender 2.70a available!

  • March 21st, 2014

The Blender Foundation released the 2.70 version of Blender few days ago and it's already available on the render farm.

Look at the release announcement:
The Blender Foundation and online developer community is proud to present Blender 2.70.
The first of a new 2.7 series has been released! Work on UI improvements started, and a lot of features were added for Cycles render, motion tracking, animation, modeling, and so on.
Official announcement

Presently, SheepIt-renderfarm supports Blender 2.65a, 2.66a, 2.67, 2.68a, 2.69 and now 2.70.
You can see all binaries available on this page: binaries.

There is some great improvements but for SheepIt-renderfarm, the most visible will a change on the calculation of the render's progression. Before the 2.70 a percentage was calculated (and something it was not very accurate), now with the 2.70 a remaining time is displayed, we hope you'll like it.

Update on April 12th, we have updated to the bugfix release 2.70a.
