a new build with cool stuff. Some of the following points were already in, but I name them nonetheless

http://www.letwory.net/cvsbuilds/bf_ble ... 709.tar.gz
* weighted creases for subsurfs (Chris McFarlen + Ton)
* color picker
* yafray plugin support (see older threads for yafray)
* deflectors/forcefields for particles
* animated static particles for deformed meshes
* more!
I have been working on making texture vars available for Ipo'ing. This build is patched with that work, which is NOT yet in CVS (and is now under review with committers list), so don't do anything important with this... yet. Anyway. You can add Texture Ipos when you've got an object selected that's got a texture assigned. Go to Ipoview, select the texture view from the menu, select the channel you want to work with, and CTRL-LMB adds new curve/vertex(if curve already exists).
Enjoy!
