The zip file.  Documentation is in the zip file.

Yes.  Four new warps (planar, cylindrical, toroidal, and spherical), metallic 
reflection, the unicode patch, light groups (for controlling interactions 
between objects and lights), projected_through (for "shaping" light beams), a 
new isosurface function that uses any built-in pigment as a basis 
(coincidentally allowing you to create a pigment-based surface without any 
height_field artifacts), and a more recent UV patch, together with a pile of 
bugfixes such as making blobs work with trace(), making perturbed cameras not 
crash, making the patch work with the 3.1e editor, and of course all the 
official 3.1e fixes.

Still conspicuous by their absence are the photon mapping patch, the 
dispersion patch, and the unlimited light patch.

Sorry for leaving all this out of the announcement, but most of it has been 
discussed at one time or another around here so I made the obviously 
incorrect assumption that people were tired of hearing about it. :)
