“After several years of redesign and development work, the
Blender Foundation and its associated online developer community
have announced the arrival of version 2.57 of their open source 3D
content creation suite, the first stable release in the 2.5
series.“According to the developers, this major milestone is not only
stable because it’s “mostly feature complete, but especially thanks
to the 1,000s of fixes and feature updates we did since the 2.5
beta versions were published.”
