Hello.
Personally I feel some issues abount GLSL preview on 2.48RC.

a) In 3D View, simply I place 1 lamp, 1 cube on the first layer, and 1 cube on the second layer.
then turn the second layer only visible, cube on the second layer does't receive lighting.
And also in 'Buttons window', 'Shading' > 'Lamp buttons' panel setting about lamp,
'Layer' button does't affected.
It seems Apricot build version resolved better about these behavior.

b) Can't previewing material keyframe animation, about RGB, Alpha and so on..

I would appreciate if developers would take into account.
Best regards.

Was trying to make simple clouds. Using both blender internal and yaffray (yaffray needs 2.5 times as much light, but thats always been). Changing colors in the 'map to' panel (right beside sky/atmosphere) doesn't. It starts out as purple, and stays purple. You can click on the color and the pallet comes up and you can change it to white (I wanted clouds to be white), but when you let go of the mouse it all snaps back to purple. The rgb color sliders also snap back to purple. Also the shadow button stays off. Clicking it on does nothing (it stays off). Also, clicking on both sky and atmosphere gives me purple sky, clicking them off gives me black sky. If anyone wants me to try anything else, please reply, etc. I'm running Linux/dynamic/32bit/Hardy/Gnome.
Thanks,
Bob

in linux there is a change(bug?) on the bevel curve from another curve where now if it isn't 3d it won't bevel the curve…
also there seems to be missing the yafray rendering option? (in my own yesterday build it's still there though)

The only quirks I've seen with 2.48pre are that the panels in the buttons window keep moving around. I collapse the panel, move the title bar to where I want it and reopen the panel. Then I switch from materials to textures (basically any other set of panels) and back again, and the panels have moved out of position (usually down and to the left). Using Linux/Dynamic/32bit/Ubuntu/Hardy/Gnome.
Please reply if you need more information.
Thanks,
Bob

It works great. Just starting to play around. Anyway, a few silly things that happened to me:

On newly installed Windows XP SP2

The installer had me download vcredist_x86
I had to download and install msvcr71.dll manually after error message upon opening blender (I did not notice warnings of missing dll during the checking dll part of installation)
Did not find Python 2.6
Installer sais its 2.7
