added win32 check for number of processors, but cant test.
could somebody running win32 see if headers need to be added to threads.c?

automatic threads, next to the Threads button, so you can set threads to use whatever the system has, useful in the studio with 2,4,8 core systems when sharing files.

Patche from Giuseppe Ghibò to look in /usr/lib64

Possible fix for bug #6922: crash in displace compositor node,
possibly because it didn't handle the vector input correct if
it was translated.

Fix for bug #6911: radiosity pass can no be excluded.

Fix for bug #8311: painting in the image editor with left mouse button
selection enabled still painted with right mouse button, inconsistent
with painting in the 3d view.

Added an option for texture forcefields to use the root location of a particle for its texture coords.
Without this, animating grass would either look like seaweed (with low freq texture)
Or the grass would wrinkle up and get kinks (high freq texture)
This lets you use a high frequency texture while having straight grass.

Fix for bug #8299: baking from selected to active with ray transparency
gave wrong results. Problem was the view vector was setup strange. While
it is really not well defined, it is now set as the negation of the normal,
so it is looking right at the surface, gives more predictable.

Added an option to bake AO normalized, without material settings taken
into account. The normalized result can often be easier to integrate
into different materials, e.g. for games.

Bugfix: vector blur blending of different times wasn't correct, didn't
show up much for characters on isolated layers but can make a big
difference on a full scene:

Bugfix: this adds some epsilons (FLT_EPSILON, so quite small) to the
raytracing intersection code, to avoid rays slipping through between
triangles, this would mostly show up with sceen aligned quads and
baking of height maps for example. Epsilon's are not pretty, but I
haven't found a reliable way around them.

Bug #8234: sky texture for approximate AO doesn't work, as mentioned
in the commit log. Couldn't get this to work well, probably this would
work a lot better with the IBL spherical harmonics feature, so I've just
disabled the option in the interface for now.

python API: added support for screen font 12(fix-width) as "normalfix"

pendent changes -
- Added a note that force fields only affect objects on same layers
- PLAY button would just play all frames and didnt respect the end frame which is very annoying at times.

Crasher in patch for premul flag: missing NULL check

Also converted ugly short pointer casting with the standard ID
define GS(), Get Shorty!

Further work on the premul option for ton. This option
(which basically tells the renderer and compositor to expect a
key image) is now done at the image user level.

This does have some caveats, as image users don't always work
the way I thought they would/should (for example, the same image user
structure is apparently used in the uv image editor for all images,
which is kindof odd).

The UV image editor also now smartly detects if the premul option is
set and draws the image using key alpha, instead of premul

The subversion level was upped to convert the old premul flag, which was at
the image level, to the new one, which is at the image user level.

Remove extra parenthesis from Cubic tooltip, reported on IRC.

Fix for bug #8047: convert metaballs to mesh often has holes.

Fix for bug #7787: QMC AO could give bad results tracing rays from an
untraceable material, cause is that the ray start position got set
only once, but it needs to be set for each ray since it can be clipped
to the octree bounding box.

Fix for bug #7936: render baking selected to active now has a Bias
value that is an offset along the normal when looking for the nearest
face, which allows baking faces further away, e.g. an ID badge onto a
shirt.

Also fixes a bug baking to float images, for things other than
displacement it didn't work sometimes, and a memory leak in the
extend filter.
