To be fair, with all the stuff added (and some removed) as well as the interface overhaul in 2.8 and 2.9, it might as well be its own major version. They're just numbers after all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how long the 3's will last. I just hope the interface doesn't change much, as it was severe when 2.8 came out, and many never made the switch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coffee Pancake Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Sane blender version numbering is an exciting prospect all on it's own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Extrude Ragu Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 2.8 Should have been 3. Actually them not naming it 3 was a source of grief because I mistakenly installed it thinking it would be backward compatible because only the minor version changed not realizing it was some whole new thing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
