Oxygen::ShadowCache::shadowSize() now returns the shadow extend outside of the window body (the extend)
Overlab between the actual shadow pixmap and the window body is dealt with internally (by creating larger pixmaps)
This allows notably Oxygen::Client to not attempt to draw shadow when shadowSize == 0 (which was never the case
before)
The flag has been made obsolete by the fact that window corners are not part of the shadow anymore.
Configuration::useOxygenShadows is now dealt with by setting the active flag directly.
invert.cpp refers to the apparently removed kwinshadereffect.h,
so it's probably missing out on some sort of porting activity.

It's currently broken because of a regression in the mesa state tracker.

The shadow effect is known to be broken since at least 4.5.
It is unfortunately in a state which makes it difficult to maintain
and the architecture has some serious drawbacks. Therefore it is the
best solution to replace the effect with a new and better
implementation. For more information about the new implementation
please see the discussion on KWin mailinglist:
http://lists.kde.org/?l=kwin&m=129607406517609&w=2
This also "fixes" all existing bug reports about the shadow effect.
Most of the bugs will really be fixed when the new shadow system is
implemented, if not it is a new bug and a new report should be created
for it.
Please excuse that we go this unnormal approach to mark bugs as
fixed with code removal.

Our primary target is Texture From Pixmap and it is supported
by all important drivers nowadays. If a driver is not able to
support TFP using OpenGL at all is probably no good idea and
XRender is more suited.
We have ksnapshot for that which uses a KWin effect to get
screenshots including shadows, which was not possible with
KWin's own implementation.
This invalidates bugs about this functionality.

The usefulness of the snow effect is doubtable and it is rather
difficult to port the effect to the new rendering architecture
introduced with GLES. It is probably easier to rewrite the complete
effect from scratch, therefore it is removed for now.
I might consider readding it for 4.7.
This kind of "fixes" snow related bug reports.

The class is not used by any effect any more and the
design of the ShaderEffect makes it hardly usable.
For most effects just rendering the windows with the Shader
attached to it makes more sense than rendering the complete
screen into a FBO and apply the shader on the off-screen texture.
