Blender 2.47

A complete list of bugfixes is available if you want to read all the nasty details. Or keep on reading for a quick "short" version:

    * New tools and improvement have been made to the Snapping tools.
    * Better Game Engine logic.
    * Revised alpha blending in the Game Engine.
    * PyConstraints and PyDrivers are not executed unless scriptlinks are enabled (for improved security)
    * Fixed an incorrect transformation for particle group visualization.
    * Fixed negative value in the Gamma node with negative input.
    * Tangent shading (which only affects specular) made bump mapping not work for diffuse.
    * Fixed Mesh Deform Modifier not working on extruded curves.
    * Fixed crash converting old particle system from a linked file.
    * Object instancing didn't restore matrices correct for Environment Map, this could give object rendering in the wrong position.
    * Compositor nodes with use nodes disabled didn't properly redraw the node window on changes.

    * Blender would crash if the user cancel the hair softbody bake.

    * Fixed "Col" option for particle systems does not work correctly with Mat IPOs
    * Fixed Particle mirror could fail on some faces.
    * Bevel tool was hanging on certain geometry where the edge to be beveled was shared by two faces that had more than one edge in common and caller was not checking return status of Bmesh eulers.
    * Fixed Game Engine corrupts Pose data
    * When your home directory is full, saving defaults would fail without raising an error.
    * Fixed crash on grab/move on axis when nothing selected.
    * Update-automatically option in IPO Editor now updates objects using the active IPO-block as their ObAction when transforming keyframes.
    * Shift+H would hide unselected objects on unseen layers.
    * Color picker didn't always redraw rgb/hsv/hex values.
    * Vertex parenting didn't work correct with multiple unconnected curves.
    * Fixed crash in fluid bake with large amount of small fluid objects.
