2.5

* Objects now support up to 32767 material slots. It's easy to
  increase this further, but I prefer not to increase the memory
  usage of mesh faces, it seems unlikely that someone would
  create 32767 distinct materials?
* Forward compatibility: the only thing you can potentially lose
  reading a 2.5 file in 2.4 is object linking (instead of default
  data), though usually that will go fine too. Reading files with
  > 32 material slots in 2.4 can start giving issues.

* The ob->colbits variable is deprecated by the array ob->matbits
  but I didn't remove the ob->colbits updates in very few places
  it is set.
* I hope I changed all the relevant things, various places just
  hardcoded the number 16 instead of using the MAXMAT define.

* Join Objects operator back. This is using the version from the
  animsys2 branch coded by Joshua, which means it now supports
  joining of shape keys.

* Fix for crash reading file saved during render.
