Blender Foundation, the developer of Blender, an integrated 3D creation software suite, has announced that their software has reached version 2.69 Test 1.

After a few releases in the stable branch of Blender, it seems that the developers are now pushing for a new development version. They don't usual release Test versions, but this is no different than any other dev released so far.

Only a couple of new features have been mentioned in the changelog until now, but the hair rendering has been improved with a new Hair shader and reorganized settings, and the motion tracking now has a feature called plane track.

A complete list of changes and updates can be found in the official changelog.
