I agree with kxs, it would be great to have the Zblur's empty connection in this implementation.

The new UV editor smooth zoom is very useful.

Thanks for the build. Hehe, I like the [ALT]+[SPACE] combination for Manipulator Orientation - it's much better than searching for the small grey/white sphere .

The integrated Zblur is a cool option, but I think it's hard to control - and how do I use it in animations?

Thank you, Gabio.

A hint to all Windows users with download problems: You can use Wget to download the files, it is automatically resuming your download where the connection broke up. I use WinWGet, which is a GUI for Wget - you can download it here.

I had to start the download three times to get the whole file - very strange, indeed.

But now it's here and I'm very surprised how much you did in this short amount of time - thank you!

Thank you for this build. Aah, the Softbody interface is much better now - and a Wind force? Great! I still prefer the rt:0 version of the widgets - I'm currently doing much modelling and the new widgets are a great help. The only crit I have is that the center ball's colours for Global/Local switch...

Thank you, gabio - and happy birthday!

Hey, icons for the widget modes - cool. These widgets are so useful in Pose Mode!

...simply amazing!

LMB on widget center is a good way to switch to local mode.

Wow, the widgets are really good, especially to flatten Blender's learning curve. I prefer rotating widget Type 0, and I like Zsolt's idea of a thin circle to visualise the plane of rotation. I saw that it's still not possible to rotate around local axes in Armature Posing Mode. I guess that's becau...

Something seems to be wrong with rotations in the latest version - if I grab a bone in pose mode and press [r]-[z][z] it is not rotating around Z axis.

Thank you, Gabio. Ah, the new split screen functionality is great. The new transform sounds interesting, I'll read the wiki.

By the way, I'm looking for a hotkey to switch to Weight Paint mode - is there one? I'm so happy about the Outliner, and a hotkey for Weight Paint would be the cherry on the cake.

Thank you!

Hmm, this 'vertex_shade' parameter sounds very interesting. I'm really looking forward to the next version of Manuel&Paolo's 'MHsss'...

Raytraced materials with alpha < 1 now let the background shine through in their Alpha map even if there are non-transparent objects behind them. I guess this behaviour is described in the changes since 2.36 document as "Note that the RGB colors are "polluted" with sky color, when sky is rendered". ...

Thank you very much, gabio.

Yes, the new weight paint panel is a real enhancement - I like it very much. By the way, why are the Softbodies still 'hidden'? It's a CVS build, isn't it?
