Support for Blender 2.77 or higher
Posted: Fri Sep 09, 2016 2:58 pm
This is a question to developers. The current version of Blender for Octane 2.x is 2.76b. Are you planning to upgrade it to 2.77 or 2.78?
No.
The development of new features in old 2.X branch is finished. New features - new bugs which in turn will steal even more resources from 3.X development. Move to a new Blender version is a HUGE amount of work every time that breaks many things working stable before that.
So, version 2.X is closed, the same as version 1.X. You always can upgrade to 3.X to get a newest features implemented and to support the development.
