New Release Date Announced For Blender 5.0 Beta

As spotted by Andrew Price aka Blender Guru, the Blender 5.0 alpha phase is getting a one-week extension to give developers more time. Previously set for October 1, beta branching is now planned for October 8.

The final release is still set for November 11, though that may change based on bug tracker progress in early November.

In the meantime, you can check out some of Blender 5.0's upcoming features, including the integration of the ACES 2.0 color management system, which has sparked considerable interest within the community, huge improvements to Compositor, Geometry Nodes updates, and much more:
