* Change the default Light Path settings.
* Diffuse/Glossy bounces are now set to 4, to give a bit faster renders in default scenes. More bounces are often not needed (especially in animation).
* Transmission bounces have been increased to 12, to not run into problems with dark glass too quickly.
* Max/Min bounces are now 12/3.
to standard nodes where the Blender socket names can differ from associated Cycles names and may require additional indices to make them unique. Script node sockets are already unique and exact due to
being generated from the script function parameters.
Fix deadlock in Carve when rescaling to zero scale.
basically, scaling to zero scale is not what we want :)
Boolean result could still be unpredictable coz plane is
not a closed manifold.
this range due to sampling noise.
Side note: I looked into the mist pass because it was apparently not calculating
mist correctly on characters with transparent hair. Turns out this is just
sampling noise that goes away with more samples.
This noise is because the ray will randomly go to the next transparency layer or
get reflected, the path tracing integrator will not branch the path and only pick
one of the two directions each time.
Branched path tracing however will shade all transparent layers for each AA
sample, which means this source of noise is eliminated.

"It is a basic compilation bug (variable defined in a c file and declared
in the c++ file: name decoration will change the name in the c++ file
and the linker will not find it)"
Release builds will now use lock-free allocator by
default without any internal locks happening.
MemHead is also reduces to as minimum as it's possible.
It still need to be size_t stored in a MemHead in order
to make us keep track on memory we're requesting from
the system, not memory which system is allocating. This
is probably also faster than using a malloc's usable
size function.
Lock-free guarded allocator will say you whether all
the blocks were freed, but wouldn't give you a list
of unfreed blocks list. To have such a list use a
--debug or --debug-memory command line arguments.
Debug builds does have the same behavior as release
builds. This is so tools like valgrind are not
screwed up by guarded allocator as they're currently
are.

- Tweaked typedefs in stdint so they match
what we've got in BLI_sys_types (needed to
explicitly tell sign to MSVC).
Not so much harmful to be more explicit here,
but we really better to have single stdint
int blender.
- Tweaked allocations macros so MSVC is happy
with structures allocation.
The title says it all, now having curve mapping
enabled in color management settings wouldn't
force fallback from GLSL to CPU based color space
conversion.
Also made libmv-capi use guarded objetc allocation.
Run into some suspecious cases when it was not so
clear whether memory is being freed or not.
Now we'll know for sure whether there're leaks or not :)
Having this macros in a guardedalloc header helps
using them in other areas (for now it's OCIO and libmv,
but in the future it'll be more places).
* 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.
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.
