Week 50/2013: Work merge
Last week we merged our work branches to master and started cleaning things up for the stable 1.13.
I've been sorting out various issues with the busy mode transition, now that the window contents for that are rendered into a texture instead of captured as a screenshot. Overall, I'm pleased that the switches between busy mode and normal mode have become less abrupt: the task bar fades away gradually, the console log remains visible if it was open, and the transition frame uses the full 1:1 resolution of the view.
The post-merge fixes and cleanup continue this week as the Candidate phase begins. Please do submit any issues you notice into the Tracker. The upcoming holidays will likely keep us away from the keyboard for a while, but the goal is to get things into a good enough shape before the break.
