How to render with the current viewport shading in Blender?
Eevee still requires lights to be setup, whereas with the regular “material preview” setting in the viewport, we can see things just fine before we bring in our lights.

What are the changes in Blender 2.78?
Huge changes done in this release allow Blender to work in a way similar to other 2D drawing software, and to get a production ready 2D animation tool that can mix 2D drawings with 3D objects and composition. The draw thickness was moved to stroke, and color to a new palette color instead of saving this information per layer.
