Hi Patrons!

The Blender Extensions Platform was discussed in a recent blog post on the Blender website. It is proposed to offer update functionality inside of Blender for addons which have been uploaded to the platform (following a set of guidelines).

In this video we take a look through the blog post and discuss the proposal.

All the best!
