| Does this just mean that they're bumping up the version number

| something significant is coming to an end, like Blender isn't
| going to keep being Blender.

| 2.93 marks the last Blender 2.X release, which is significant

| 2.X development is the "Era" they're referring to. The next
| major release will be 3.0!

| I love the celebration of all they've done! This is so great.
| Really well put together page. And I have no idea what the next
| big mystery is going to be. Exciting moment for software that's
| just gotten so so so so advanced over the years, that's really
| iterated & progressed consistently. Here's to ya'll!!
|
| I feel like Blender3D 3.0 might perhaps be Blender 3^2D. Now with
| nine-dimensional hyper-editing!!

| Many new features in Blender are hyped up, but I don't think the

| downloading the newest version from Blender.org. Blender just
| moves that fast. LTS gives people a solid foundation to build on.
| It's a complete blessing.

| Blender is hands-down my favorite piece of software I've ever

| each new update just keeps on getting better and better.
|
| Excited for the 3.0 releases!
