- allow us to input non-latin languages such as Japanese/Chinese
- recover XIM connection and its input contexts when XIM server restarted
Currently it supports only "root window" style input, while most people (and I) want "over the spot" or "on the spot" style one. Probably the implementation of "over the spot" or "on the spot" style becomes much complicated, because XIM server requires the coordinates of current cursor location relative to the screen in order to show the candidate window in appropriate position.
starting from version 2.64. Unless you have a special system setup, this means the
will be in ~/.config/blender rather than ~/.blender.
When the version number is changed to 2.64, the "Copy Previous Settings" operator
in the splash will copy the settings to the new location.

Any identifier that looks like an OpenGL identifier, but isn't, causes a false alarm by the glreport.py tool. Most of these were in comments so I just rephrased the comments. There were a couple of static functions/macros that were easy enough to rename. Only the glTexco and glIndex fields of the DMVertexAttribs struct was public and had non-local uses.

Other builds may also work but due to the constantly changing nature of the compiler this cannot be guaranteed. I often had to change compilers while building the libraries and this one is the one that did the job for most of them.
This first support is experimental and considered "advanced". To enable pass -DWITH_MINGW64 during cmake configuration. Also make sure to extract the compiler on C:/MinGW and that MinGW/bin is in your path. To build check out lib/mingw64.
Initially the support is lacking until I get every library compiled correctly. For now you should disable WITH_CYCLES(sorry, I know some people are dying to do benchmarks, but still a few libs to go), WITH_IMAGE_OPENEXR, WITH_OPENCOLLADA, WITH_LIBMV and WITH_CODEC_FFMPEG(links but hangs on startup).
Still the tools are working, the memory limit is increased and due to the experimental nature of the setup, full optimization with SSE2 is available, which makes the build quite fast. Also the compiler and especially, the linker are way faster than regular MinGW.
The wiki docs have also updated. Happy testing!
