It's the Blender 5.0 release day! Blender 5.0 is a big step forward for this open-source 3D modeling software with better Vulkan viewport support across different GPUs/drivers, HDR support when using Vulkan and Wayland on Linux, and other very nice refinements for this popular cross-platform software package.

The Blender 5.0 release day is a bit of a mess due to the Cloudflare outage happening today. While much of the Cloudflare outage has since been addressed and services restored (including at Phoronix), Blender.org is still having HTTP 500 errors due to Cloudflare.
