For details there are unit tests and api example usage.

This way blender player can easily use BPY_thread_save/restore.
Not so much important for master branch, but crucial to solve
linking issues in threaded depsgraph branch.
- Py_BEGIN_ALLOW_THREADS and Py_END_ALLOW_THREADS macros cannot be used here, because the Py_BEGIN_ALLOW_THREADS causes a crash when quitting Blender.
- The low level function PyEval_ReleaseLock() is used assuming the Python library was built with multi-threads support.
Summary:
Version of those libraries might be useful to know.
- OIIO and OCIO is exposed via bpy.app.oiio and bpy.app.ocio.
There're "supported", "version" and "version_string" defined
in those modules.
- OSL is available as _cycles.osl_version and _cycles.osl_version_string.

Summary:
Old idea with changes since previous release tag
didn't work good enough. In most of the cases tag
was done in a branch hence not actually reachable
from the master branch.
Now change since release is gone, and date of
the latest commit is used instead.
The date is displayed in format YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm
in the splash.
New bpy.app fields:
- build_commit_timestamp is an unix timestamp of
the commit blender was build from.
- build_commit_date is a date of that commit.
- build_commit_time is a time of that commit.

- Use commit number since last annotated tag as a
revision number replacement. It'll eb followed
by 'M' symbol if there're local modification in
the source tree.
- Commit short SHA1 is included. Helps getting
information about commit used to build blender
with much faster.
- If build is not done from master branch, this also
will be noticed in the splash screen.
This commit also replaces revision stored in the
files with git-specific fields (change and hash).
This is kind of breaks compatibility, meaning
files which were saved before this change wouldn't
display any information about which revision they
were saved with. When we'll finally switch to git,
we'll see proper hash and change number since
previous release in the files, for until then
svn version will be used as a change number and
hash will be empty.
Not a huge deal, since this field was only used
by developers to help torubleshooting things and
isn't needed for blender itself.
Some additional tweaks are probably needed :)
