We had almost forgotten to announce a quick fix release after v1.5.1 for a few annoying issues with glossy materials when using the new LuxCore rendering modes. So here you are, and in case you experimented some weird results this release should fix them.

bumpmapping fix with instanced meshes
biaspath incorrect path length handling fix
huge memory leak fix

new biased path tracing renderer to allow for fast and noise free, but less accurate, renderings, it is available in both CPU and OpenCL flavours with a special realtime mode (Dade can you make a list of current features, tuning knobs, and what's supported in LuxBlend? There is a thread about it, but not sure it is up to date: viewtopic.php?f=34&t=10529)
Arbitrary Output Values support enabling output of Z buffer, position, material, normal, ... data (Dade, is there a full list? Is it fully supported in LuxBlend?)
support for light groups

fix bump map rendering with missing UV information
area light fixes regarding the use of power and efficiency
fix lxs parsing issues

fixes for latest OSX versions UI updates
fix bloom filter used in an animation (the configuration of filters in the scene files was a new feature of v1.3)
fix an issue with camera response
improvement to the OpenCL version of the QBVH accelerator
fix carpaint material node in LuxBlend
fix export of glare maps parameters

· incorrect rendering of architectural glass with bidirectional path tracing
· broken motion blur export with Blender 2.66
· imaging pipeline inconsistencies with Blender 2.66
