Just out of curiousity, why was the "glow around lights" toggle removed in 1.3? It's clearly broken, and having it on by default is very annoying for those people who use local lighting. Is this intended as an "incentive" to get people to simply NOT USE local lighting?

So THAT'S what was missing!

I wonder when the Ripple Water box won't be gray for me :/

In Preview, Glow was moved to the Debug menu. I can well understand this, as enabling it always crashed my system. I haven't checked whether it's still in Debug in 1.3 yet. The other 'missing' option, Tree lighting I think it was, also appeared in Preview Debug.

Well, it's certainly good to know it's in Debug, as it definitely wasn't ready for prime-time, but shouldn't it be turned OFF by default?

On my system, Glow and Tree lights are off by default; but maybe it depends on your hardware.
