Am also getting some purple tint in the reflections on the water from the bridge without a cloud in the sky.. Time 10 am (6 hours after sunrise).

Were you getting the noticable pattern and the purple tint in the previous version? As far as I know, the only thing that has changed in the past couple of weeks is an increase of reflectivity in the scene.dat, to get around a problem with dark water at dusk and dawn. Is the purple water also at 5m/s?
Although the above water shaders were changed at the last minute (about 45 mins before the release was packaged up), they haven't been changed from the shaders in use for the past 2-3 weeks in the test version. The only thing that was removed was the shallow water colour, as it wasn't working 100%.
A change in reflectivity would account for the wavelets appearing differently, as after all the waves don't actually exist, they are only there because of the calculated reflections. Strange this is, Kriller only changed them for the dawn/dusk time period. :hmm:
