This is an important change. Starting from now, all lights have a finite influence radius (similar to the old sphere option for BI). In order to avoid costly setup time, this distance is first computed automatically based on a light threshold. The distance is computed at the light origin and using the inverse square falloff. The setting can be found inside the render settings panel > shadow tab. This light threshold does not take the light shape into account an may not suit every case. That's why we provide a per lamp override where you can just set the cutt off distance (Light Properties Panel > Light > Custom Distance). The influence distance is also used as shadow far clip distance. This influence distance does not concerns sun lights that still have a far clip distance. --- This change is important because it makes it possible to cull lights an improve performance drastically in the future.
