Summary:
Soft buffer shadow shows up 'hard' in reflection

Detailed description

Reflection doesn't show any softness of a buffered shadow.
In example blend file just hit Render to see result.

In 2.49 it's never the exact same softness, but at least it was soft.

Raytracing didn't show soft shadow in reflections, nor did it do any bump even.
Added a basic version for it in raytracer now, still needs improvement on heavily curved surfaces. But it's better!

Examples:

Glass sphere, mirror cube and sphere, look how it ignores bump and shadow

Cool now! :) Thanks a lot!
I hope that you'll make a storm on Vector Blur (really strange in reflections)

Hi,

vector blur and raytracing are not really good friends...
