In addition to pack of conflicts listed below, also had to comment out particle part of new Alembic code... :/

* Added new operators to take the current transform value (loc/rot/scale or all 3)
and convert/apply that transform to a corresponding delta transform value. By default,
the transform value will be zeroed out again afterwards, so you don't end up with a
double transform.
* These operators can be found in the "Apply" menu (Ctrl-A)
* The "Animated Transforms to Deltas" (which does a similar job, except it adjusts all
existing animation data instead of the current transform) has also been moved to the
Apply menu (it was in the Transform menu instead)
There are a lot of cases here where deciding for removal is a bit tricky.
Many features have options for "use_particles" and similar settings. Only
features which actually store a particle object reference or work on actual
particle data have been removed.
The problem is that node trees (such as the Material, Lamp, and Compositor node trees)
are stored as "nested node trees" on the affected datablocks. They are particularly
troublesome to deal with, as the are not easily identified, and also cannot be easily
mapped back to the ID's which actually own them. As a result, the usual automated
methods do not work when dealing with these!
This uses selection history to select the next vert/edge/face based on surrounding topology.
Select previous just removes the last selected element.
Uses key-bindings: Ctrl-Shift +/-
Not much to add, you can now clear previews from current .blend file, or a set of non-opened files.
Likewise, you can generate previews (for mat/tex, objects, groups, scenes, ...).
