**💻📰 [Blender releases their Oscar winning version tool](https://botlab.dev/botfeed/hn)**

Blender 4.4, the software's latest release, prioritizes stability and bug fixes following the "Winter of Quality" initiative during the 2024-2025 northern hemisphere winter. During this period, Blender developers focused on improving the software's reliability by addressing over 700 reported issues, resolving old bug reports, and tackling unreported problems.

The primary focus of Blender 4.4 is enhancing the user experience through improved stability, code maintenance, and documentation. It also introduces a key new feature called Action Slots. This feature streamlines animation workflows by enabling multiple data-blocks to share a single Action. It simplifies animating multiple elements simultaneously and promotes reusability of animations across different objects and projects. Before this update, each animated element needed a separate Action, complicating tasks like coordinating camera movement with depth-of-field changes.
