Blender 5.0 has been released. The major headline is a redesigned color management pipeline with native wide-gamut and HDR support, including ACES 1.3 and 2.0 views, Rec.2100 PQ and HLG display support, AgX HDR, and improved image and video export for P3 and Rec.2020 workflows.
The release also brings a large Video Sequencer refresh, including better properties, scene handling, timing controls, HDR scopes, and a compositor modifier. Grease Pencil gains improved corner and cyclic cap handling, Geometry Nodes powers a renewed Array modifier and additional built-in modifiers, and the Blender Extensions platform now hosts more than 700 free add-ons and themes.
The color pipeline, viewport and asset improvements, VSE and storyboarding tools, and Geometry Nodes work are all useful in architectural visualisation, procedural modelling, documentation, and presentation workflows. Read the press release and the full release notes.
