发布周期

A new Blender version is targeted to be released every 3 months. The actual release cycle for a specific release is longer, and overlaps the previous and next release cycle.

分支

工作分两个分支完成：

• blender-v{VERSION}-release 分支: 修复和其他增量改进。

• main branch: documentation for new features and improvements for the release after that.

The blender-v{VERSION}-release branch will be available for 5 weeks prior to the release date. At the same time main will be open for the next release, giving 2 months to add documentation for new features of the next release, and another month to make improvements.

切换分支

要切换到发布分支使用：

git checkout blender-v{VERSION}-release

要切换回开发分支使用：

git checkout main

更新分支

要将从发布分支合并到开发分支的更改，请首先切换到开发分支并使用：

git merge blender-v{VERSION}-release

Bcon 阶段

每个Blender版本都有自己的 Bcon 阶段，指示允许进行哪些类型的更改以及作者关注的内容。

这意味着，例如，Blender 2.90 可以在 Bcon3（收尾），而Blender 2.91 是在 Bcon1（新功能和更改）。
