Delete Branch "%!s(<nil>)"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
Screenspace AO doesn't work correctly on cards blacklisted for non-power-of-2 textures.

Confirmed. I was looking into this while checking on NPOT off-screen rendering.
Note that this isn't a regression, though it would be good to fix of course.
However being so close to release, larger changes here should go via patch review first.
Screenspace AO Bug With Disabled NPOTto Viewport compositing error without NPOT support@JosephEagar, are you using hardware which can do GPU compositing but has no NPOT support? Or is this just an error when testing with it forcefully disabled?
Hardware has NPOT support, but is being blacklisted (there's a comment in gpu_extensions.c that certain API chipsets have issues, or something like that).
It would help to have your system specs (OS, GPU model) and the system_info.txt generated from blender.
Can you try forcibly enabling npo2 support in blender and check if compositing works properly and fast?
That said, I'm quite sceptical about supporting those GPUs. While they can support compositing, since all that is needed is shader support + framebuffer object support, accounting for npo2 support can be annoying while writing more shaders and those GPUs are quite old indeed. Remember, we don't have fast way to debug code on GPU, it has to be done visually and through trial and error. Having an extra reason why code breaks due to po2 factors going wild makes things more hectic to develop for 95% of GPUs out there which do have npo2 support.
So I'm more inclined to unblacklist your GPU and disable compositing for po2 only GPUs rather than adding scaling factors to all shaders to properly account for such systems.
