The focus of the book is on practical problems and how to solve them in Python. The examples given are useful programs that try to solve real-world needs. Each chapter revolves around a single concept giving several examples gradually growing in difficulty. Each section analyses the problem first be. . Blender would crash if the user cancel the hair softbody bake. The Disable Tex option didn't disable textures for the Texface material option. Fixed data browse for image painting, which didn't work. Action Editor Border Select Channels no longer selects bones. Fix bug in X-Mirror for armatures.
Ready for action.

- Due to various issues with drivers for AMD GCN 1.0 architecture, those cards are no longer supported for Cycles rendering
- When using add-ons in Blender 2.79 that take advantage of the new data-block pointer properties, the resulting .blend files can’t be opened in earlier versions of Blender. Attempting to open such .blend files in Blender 2.78c and earlier may crash.
- Some Interface Themes may need to be reloaded to work properly.
- The text color contained in a layout.box() is now defined in User Preferences » Themes » User Interface » Box section

- Changes to IK snapping may affect rigs that use non-uniform IK scaling. (rigs created in the 2.78 builds.)
- During the 2.78 series: IK snapping was partly broken.
- This has been fixed for Blender 2.79
- Rigs created in Blender 2.78 may not be compatible with 2.79.
- Rigs created in Blender 2.77 may still work.
