The ear loop method is potentially too slow (OˆN).
We are not using the 'beauty' option at the moment.
I'll incorporate that next.
(and later specific methods for quad splitting)
Patch done in collaboration (and reviewed by) with Campbell Barton.
* Remove the compatible falloff SSS implementation. We shouldn't support two implementations in the long term, and 2.7x is a good release number do break some compatibility as well.
* Version patch added, so Files with Compatible falloff will automatically use Cubic now.
It was already mentioned in the manual, that Compatible is deprecated.

* Remove support for CUDA Toolkit 4.x, only Toolkit 5.0 and above are supported now.
* Remove support for sm_1x cards (< Fermi) for good. We didn't officially support those cards for a few releases already, now remove some special code that was still there.
The SAMPLELINE flag in histogram was set during the BKE_histogram_update_sample_line function. That function in turn is called during every scope update in area draw function, meaning that during render
it constantly gets set. OTOH the operator tries to disable the flag on invoke, which "cancels" the sample line by default. So during render the operator un-setting of the flag has no effect, because the
render job immediatly triggers a redraw, which updates scopes and sets it again.
Moved the flag out of the actual sample line update function into the operator execute. Now only the operator enables/disables overall sample line drawing, while the rest of the update works as before.
HSV values were calculated from a linear space color, which is
not so much useful and correct. Now RGB(A) buffers will use
color managed color for HSV values.
Still not sure which color to use for HSV when there's only one
channel in a buffer. This part left unchanged for now.
and restore of window setups with multiple monitors, but they are also causing
regressions, in particular issues with Blender overlapping the taskbar and the
user preferences opening wrong. We decided to revert to the old behavior for
the release.
See bug #36707 for the full explanation.
* 32 bit GCC builds now have the SSE BVH optimizations turned off, but still
compile with SSE flags for better performance.
* White color when rendering on Windows seems to have been unrelated to SSE,
rather it was a graphics driver not supporting half float textures, added a
check for that now.
