I have found one rendering bug that has carried over into 2.5, think I forgot to mention it though with 2.4
Several times (using 2.4) while trying to render the maximum 3000 pixels, it visibly finishes rendering but the Save... button never appears, almost as if it is stuck in a loop. Just tried two tests with 2.5 the first one at 3000 got to the end but (as mentioned) the Save... button doesn't highlight to allow the render to be saved, so just tried 2990 pixels instead and that finishes and allowed a picture save.

Edit:
In case it is helpful here are a few extra details.
Render settings used 3000 x 2000 3/2 aspect, Best, lamp lights ticked, Sunlight ticked, all other boxes unticked.

Edit 2:
As a different test, started 2.5 then trying a render (with the same setting as above) without designing anything to see if it completes.
It is difficult to test due to the amount of time required to render at that resolution.
Okay the blank test completed successfully so maybe my scene is too complex, it does contain lots of Google models. Although if that was the problem why would it complete when set at 2990 pixels?
Edit 3:
After successfully rendering at 2990 I thought I'd get as close to 3000 as possible, so I tried 2999 and it rendered! At this point I started to wonder if because it rendered close to 3000 it might now work at 3000, so I did the same render again at 3000 and that worked too.
Hmmm I think this calls for further testing! Maybe once a render at a lower resolution has completed successfully the maximum resolution of 3000 will always work?
When I get time, the next tests I will try (even though I have done the first test I will still try it again) will be, open Sweet Home and straight away try rendering the scene at 3000. If that doesn't work I will close the program, re-open the program again and try rendering the scene at 200 pixels, once that completes I will then jump straight to the maximum 3000 pixels and try that again.
