Ooh, now this is interesting. I'll test the new functions as soon as I can.
Edit: I can already see a lot of shadow-play with this patch. Like adding new shadow dynamics where it shouldn't be possible, or even having the shadow cast by an object be the sole focus of a scene. Going further, this is definitely useful for background screens, as they can be placed anywhere with the shadow turned off and it won't interfere with lighting.
2nd Edit: I'm hitting a wall with installing the update. I installed it using the "install plugin or patch" button, but the file never arrived in the plugins folder. I went to go put it in the import_export folder for plugins, but it said there was already a file with the same name inside it.
I'm hesitant to mess with the files further, given how delicate a process it was to get Yafaray working for me.
