Thank you!
I guess you're right, time to move on!

I'm afraid your Linux distribution is too old, the latest Blender builds require glibc 2.24 minimum. As far as I can tell Ubuntu 14.04 support has ended or will end by the time we release the next Blender version.

since we are on the subject, I would like to ask a curiosity ... in theory cycles opencl rendering could be compiled on these devices based on fpga ??

Hi Markus,

Hi Rafael, I am still getting kernel compilation crashes with an RX480 on latest Mesa 18.1 under Ubuntu 18.04. Typical errors revolve around incorrectly defined consts in the (generated?) code that is being compiled. Is there anything I can contribute to help getting this fixed?

Hi, I'd like to see what I can do regarding open-source driver support in Blender with Mesa and whatnot but I don't see how I would even test it. I have a Raven Ridge APU and Blender doesn't recognize it as a compute device—as expected, I suppose. But given that the CYCLES_OPENCL_SPLIT_KERNEL_TEST=1 environment variable doesn't do anything (I don't see it in the manpage so I assume it doesn't work anymore), I'm really at a loss.

Tried last version on Sep 01 2018 00:00:49, and its working for latin characters too, so I think it's safe to say it's done,
I'm changing this to resolved.
Thank you developers, we know you are working hard.

The problem of crash caused by Japanese IME input mentioned above is solved.

Maybe this:
https://developer.blender.org/T56618
also solve this problem?

Am afraid we won't be able to do much here, unless some dev has that kind of device to investigate… @Brecht Van Lommel (brecht), @Sergey Sharybin (sergey), don’t think the studio has such tablets?

Getting the same here. Ubuntu 16.04, x64, Blender 2.8 - 0f449541d2e

I can repro on Linux (Arch Linux). Using the (^, ¨) key triggers the assert.

Still cannot reproduce that here… @Sergey Sharybin (sergey), @Brecht Van Lommel (brecht), @Campbell Barton (campbellbarton), @Clément Foucault (fclem), can you please give it a try? Thanks.

You are right - thanks!

This bug was fixed after the 2.79b release, current 2.79.4 master builds should not have this problem anymore.

Now It's works and open a new floating window with 3D editor view.

Cannot reproduce here (also with intel GPU, debian64 testing), can you please try again with latest 2.8 build? Thanks.

I can confirm this crash. For example, when you try to write an accented letter in the name of .blend file when Save As...
I use this Spanish/Portuguese layout:

Blender crashes when I input Japanese characters with IME. It is probably the same problem. This error does not happen in 2.79.

Cannot confirm that here on Debian64 testing, tried with both french keyboard 'dead keys' (^, ¨) and Compose key, no problem at all… Might be something new in latest Ubuntu, hard to tell until we can reproduce… :/

Thanks for getting this done, everyone. FWIW, the <releases> section is needed in order for Flathub to display a version number. Without it, the version shows up as "Stable", which isn't very informative to users.

Maybe something like blender_screenshot1/2/3/4.jpg, in download.blender.org/demo/screenshots/, with a README in the folder explaining that these are used by appdata.xml.

• Change project license to GPL 3

• Remove copyright message

• Remove releases section
• Fix summary
• Fix bugtracker url
• Change description
• Use screenshots from blender.org

Maybe we could use the images in blender.org's homepage, under the title "Everything You Need"? As for who will maintain it, this should be a part of the linux release process so whoever is in charge of that or a volunteer. I don't mind submitting patches to keep this up to date.

The images should be official blender.org images, e.g. from open movies, and included from a blender.org source. Also, who is going to be responsible to keep this file up to date? We need to at least document this as part of the release process if we are going to include information about new releases.
