infact this is not really a bug, irrespective zero vertex group weights gave overlapping geometry which isn't useful, add an option to set the thickness factor for zero weighted verts.
Enabled by default and also enabled for older filesm so
there should be no regressions.
In some cases it's useful to not use subdivided uvs for multires.
*Removed curve init code in readfile (no more needed since the split broke anyway compatibility with earlier WeightVGroup files…).
*Updated get_ob2ob_distance() code (much simpler – I’m not a matrices’ god!).
*Enhanced a few RNA names (Campbell has others in mind here, though, I think).
* Canvas and brush can be now enabled simultaneously. This way it's possible for two canvases to interact.
* Added basic anti-aliasing support for vertex surfaces.
* 3D-view color preview now works even when there's subsurf modifier after Dynamic Paint in modifier stack.
* Added a new brush option to use proximity from object center.
* Default surface frame range now use scene's start and end values.
* Improved ray checks for volume brushes.
* Added new "non-closed" option for volume brushes. This way it's possible to use planar meshes as "volume" brushes with predefined ray direction.
* New carrot branch splash image by CGEffex.
* Improved brush affection code.
* Lots of smaller improvements.
* Fixed: Weight paint didn't work with particles.
* Fixed: Point cache didn't work for non-wave surfaces anymore since last commit.
Committed changes from previous weeks, biggest changes are:
* Canvas can now have multiple "surfaces" that each can have specific format, type and settings.
* Renewed UI to support this new system.
* Aside from old "image sequence" output format, Dynamic Paint can now work on vertex level as well. Currently vertex paint and displace are supported.
* Integrated vertex level painting with Point Cache.
* Added viewport preview for Point Cache surfaces.
Due to massive amount of changes, old Dynamic Paint saves are no longer supported. Also some features are temporarily missing or may not work properly.

From the patch description:
ValterVB on #blendercoders submitted a long list of missing tooltips in Blender, and I went through the list and added all I knew. After that I crowdsourced the rest by putting a spreadsheet on Google docs and having people fill in the missing ones that I didn't know. So if there's some weird tooltip in there that doesn't make sense, that's why.
Thanks to Wolter, spacetug and others on BlenderArtists for contributing tooltips.
simple modifier, almost like a hook, except it can deform with 2 object source -> target, has option to preserve rotation and use different falloff types.
* This is basically a total rewrite of the edge split algorithm. The old one didn't handle tris at all and quads were cut wrong in some cases too with the addition of not handling uv coordinates at all.
* This new algorithm uses a flag system to categorize different splits and the identical but rotated cases in a similar way to how marching cubes indexes different cases.
* It cuts quads and tris and creates proper uv's for the new faces too.
* I also renamed the option to "edge cut" to differentiate if from the edge split modifier and added an option to override a uv-channel in the exploded mesh with particle age as x-coordinate so that the shrapnel can be faded out nicely etc.
- negative ray casts would invert the offset direction.
this meant if positive and negative were enabled at once and the mesh was slightly inside & outside the object it wrapped,
the offset would be applied in opposite directions.
This way the offset is always along the vertex normal.
- allow negative offset from RNA, could be useful and no benefit to disable.
Added new option for applyong modifiers on splines' points. This moves
tesselation point and path would be affected by modifiers which are applied on
splines' points.
- the invert flag was only being used for multi-modifier, but there is no reason not to use this in normal cases as well.
- Armature modifier RNA name 'vertex_group' was incorrectly named 'vertex_group_multi_modifier' (own fault), confusion was caused by 'invert_vertex_group_multi_modifier' which was correct.
* Show unborn was on by default, so smoke got emitted from all particles regardless of their birth time, not a good default in my opinion.
* What made things worse was that particles weren't shown in viewport, so you didn't even know the particles were considered alive from the very first frame! (Not rendering is a good default, but they should still be visible in viewport!)
only tags the ID and does the actual flush/update delayed, before the next
redraw. For objects the update was already delayed, just flushing wasn't
yet.
This should help performance in python and animation editors, by making
calls to RNA property update quicker. Still need to add calls in a few
places where this was previously avoided due to bad performance.
