> What you did this week
* I finished up remaining tasks from adaptive domain implementation and 
fixed couple of related bugs.
* I tested full smoke workflow from simulation to final render to find 
remaining issues. Result video here:

* I started smoke "Force Field" implementation.
For now it's a new "Fluid flow" force field type that you set domain 
object and force settings. Then it applies forces to other Blender 
simulations (that use force fields) depending on the air flow of smoke 
simulation in that position.
That code isn't yet ready for commit but it will be finished in a couple 
of days.

> What you plan to do next week
I will probably work on smoke color support. This will require adding 
color data to simulation, figuring out best way to make simulation 
advection mix color properly and also some way to let users disable and 
enable simulation data types. E.g. if user don't use colors or 
fire/fuel, there is no need to simulate or save those fields.
