* Motion blur with shutter time > 1 did result in the correct evaluation
of some modifiers because it set the subframe to values > 1, and some
places assume the current frame to be set to the integer coordinate and
the subframe to be a value between 0 and 1.
* Shape keys did not take subframe time offsets into account.
* Point density texture was using an current frame value that was never set.
when uvs are shared by more than two islands. Uv edges
usually belong to only two islands, making for much cleaner
stitches. To change between stitch modes, press TAB.
Initial mode depends on the selection mode of the image
editor. Documentation can also be found on the release wiki
With 2 windows, 2 scenes, linked objects:
- enter editmode in 1 window.
- the other window allowed to enter editmode too.
- and crash happened on exit editmode.
Since editmode is in Context (scene->obedit) a bad conflict arises.
New function BKE_object_is_in_editmode() returns this info outside of
context. Note I didn't use BMEdit_FromObject() because of the assert().
NOTE: contextual storage of editmode could need rework... five places:
- ob->mode / ob->restore_mode
- scene->object
- CTX_data_edit_object()
- BKE_object_is_in_editmode()
- view3d mode handling menu
Setup: 2 windows, 2 scenes, shared objects and groups.
Errors:
- editing in 1 window, didn't correctly update shared stuff in the other
(like child - parent relations)
- deleting group members in 1 scene, could crash the other.
Fixes:
- On load, only a depsgraph was created for the "active" scene. Now it makes
depsgraphs for all visible scenes.
- "DAG ID flushes" were only working on active scenes too, they now take
the other visible into account as well.
- Delete object - notifier was only sent to the active scene.
All in all it's a real depsgraph fix (for once!) :) Using multi-window and
multi-scene setups now is more useful.
With the view3d 'Render Only' option, grease pencil wouldn't draw, but for OpenGL render it did.
Since grease pencil can be very useful in opengl renders, enable grease pencil drawing with 'Render Only' option in the viewport,
and add a checkbox in the grease pencil header not to draw (unchecking each layer is annoying and applies to all spaces).
Notes and image:

- now each editor has own settings for "show panel header" and
"show panel background", and colors+alpha for this.
- this setting used to be global for all editors, but it can conflict
with looks of specific editors.
- Now you can set for editors to show panels with a 100% transparent
tool/properties region.
Note: read XML theme files now might get an error, Campbell will fix.
now blenlib/BLI doesn't depend on any blenkern/BKE functions,
there are still some bad level includes but these are only to access G.background and the blender version define.
- Move to layer (and more popups) didn't scale yet
- User Prefs and render window now open on right location on Mac Retinas
- Brush sizes for painting now scale for Mac Retina

The solver was mostly implemented by John Mansour at VPAC, with help from me and with funding from the AutoCRC. The SPH formulation is due to Gingold and Monaghan, and the smoothing kernel is due to Wendland.
This solver does not replace the old one; it is available as an option. Note that the new solver uses different units than the old one. The patch page has a couple of attachments that can be used to test the new solver, particularly sphclassical_dam_s0.01_grav.blend (ignore the earlier tests). The simulation in that file compares well with a physical experimental dam break; details in a paper by Changhong Hu and Makoto Sueyoshi, also referred to on that page.
Upgraded version to 2.65.1, and check on this to map default region backgrounds
to have an alpha 0.5. This only worked until now for 2.64 savedi startups.
Nice formatted version (pictures soon):

Short list of main changes:
- Transparent region option (over main region), added code to blend in/out such panels.
- Min size window now 640 x 480
- Fixed DPI for ui - lots of cleanup and changes everywhere. Icon image need correct size still, layer-in-use icon needs remake.
- Macbook retina support, use command line --no-native-pixels to disable it
- Timeline Marker label was drawing wrong
- Trackpad and magic mouse: supports zoom (hold ctrl)
- Fix for splash position: removed ghost function and made window size update after creation immediate
- Fast undo buffer save now adds UI as well. Could be checked for regular file save even...
Quit.blend and temp file saving use this now.
- Dixed filename in window on reading quit.blend or temp saves, and they now add a warning in window title: "(Recovered)"
- New Userpref option "Keep Session" - this always saves quit.blend, and loads on start.
This allows keeping UI and data without actual saves, until you actually save.
When you load startup.blend and quit, it recognises the quit.blend as a startup (no file name in header)
- Added 3D view copy/paste buffers (selected objects). Shortcuts ctrl-c, ctrl-v (OSX, cmd-c, cmd-v).
Coded partial file saving for it. Could be used for other purposes. Todo: use OS clipboards.
- User preferences (themes, keymaps, user settings) now can be saved as a separate file.
Old option is called "Save Startup File" the new one "Save User Settings".
To visualise this difference, the 'save startup file' button has been removed from user preferences window. That option is available as CTRL+U and in File menu still.
- OSX: fixed bug that stopped giving mouse events outside window.
This also fixes "Continuous Grab" for OSX. (error since 2009)
this may introduce bugs which I didn't catch, but they are very easy to identify in a debug build which has asserts to ensure the arrays are valid before use.
in my own test drawing ~98,304 quads - this gave an overall ~16% drawing speedup.
