I could not find a real difference between 2.65 and 2.67.
Make sure to switch from "Sky" to "Transparent" in the Shading panel (Alpha setting). The Alpha pipeline changed in Blender 2.66.

That fixes the "issue" I am having with Smoke and Fire alpha.
I really did not know about this Alpha pipeline change and this is actually really important.
I bet many people are asking the same questions. I should add it into my BLOG and NOTES.
Thanks a lot Thomas, this is very helpful.

Ok, I updated it in my blog. Personally I think the default of Alpha should be "Transparent", and not "Sky".
Or maybe add a little snippet that tell user to make sure to change Alpha to Transparent somewhere that user can easily see.
