This is mainly to address old issue when one need to have SDL library installed
in order to use our official builds. Some hip distros already installs SDL,
but it's not quite the same across all the variety of the distros.
We also now switching to SDL-2.0, most of the distros have it in repositories
already, so it shouldn't be huge deal to install it if needed.

in practice often we want to breakpoint here (instead of flooding output)
but its confusing the option does nothing in release builds.
Devs can comment out locally.
Two fixes here (only the second one is strictly needed to fix the issue,
but both make the system better).
First is introduction of a random generator array for use with threaded
systems where each thread needs to access its own number generator.
The random texture now uses this so it should not be influenced by other
random generator reseedings of the main random generator like it did
before.
Second, I reshuffled the texture code to resample the upper bits of the
random number first. According to Numerical Recipes, this is where the
most variance can be found, so by sampling those we avoid correlation
issues. Also, multiplying here is not ideal because if a pair of bits
are zero, then the whole result will also be zero.
Overall this is much more random (tm) than before, however result will
also be brighter, since we now have less black spots. Tweaking the
brightness/contrast should somewhat fix that, generally having the same
result as before is not possible anyway if we are to really fix this.
Also, seems like exposing procedural depth might be nice here since it
influences the precision of the texture lookup.
This commit makes it possible to use Glog library for the debug logging.
For now only possible when using CMake and in order to use the logging
the WITH_CYCLES_LOGGING configuration variable is to be enabled.
When this option is not enabled or when using Scons there's no difference
in Cycles behavior at all, when using logging and no output to the console
impact is gonna to be minimal.
This is done in order to make it possible to have debug logging persistent
in code (without need to add it when troubleshooting some bug and removing
it afterwards).
For now actual logging is not placed yet, only all the functions needed for
the logging are written and so.
This is needed because render threads would do some allocations like
part buffer allocation and so. This is likely harmless with the lock
free allocator (not on Windows tho), but when using guarded allocator
we need to be sure access to the list of MemHead is safe.
Current temporary data of Blender suffers one major issue - default 'temp' dir on Windows is never
automatically cleaned up, and can end being quite big when used by Blender, especially when we have
to store per-process data (using getpid() in file names).
To address this, this patch:
* Divides tempdir paths in two, one for 'base' temp dir (the same as previous unique tempdir path),
the other is a mkdtemp-generated sub-dir, specific to each Blender instance.
* Only uses base tempdir when we need some shallow persistance accross Blender sessions - and we always
reuse the same filename (quit.blend...) or generate small file (crash reports...).
* Uses temp sub-dir for heavy files like pointcache or renderEXRs (Save Buffer option).
* Erases temp sub-dir on quit or crash.
To get this working it also adds a working 'recursive delete' to BLI_delete() under Windows.
Note that, as in current code, the 'recover render result' hack-feature that was possible
with SaveBuffer option is still removed. A real renderresult cache feature will be added
soon, though.

There is not much sense to have a whole BLI file just to check SSE2 on CPUs...
So idea is to rename it to more generic "BLI_system", and add to it more system-related
utils, like e.g. an include helper for getpid(), which allows to hide unix/windows
internals from rest of the code...

in threaded depgraph updates and effector list construction.
Gathering effectors during depgraph updates will call the
psys_check_enabled function. This in turn contained a DNA alloc call
for the psys->frand RNG arrays, which is really bad because data must be
immutable during these effector constructions.
To avoid such allocs the frand array is now global for all particle
systems. To avoid correlation of pseudo-random numbers the psys->seed
value is complemented with random offset and multiplier for the actual
float array. This is not ideal, but work sufficiently well (given that
random numbers were already really limited and show repetition quite
easily for particle counts > PSYS_FRAND_COUNT).
The documentation for the -b/--background option incorrectly states that it
takes a <file>, however it can run also without a file with e.g. a script.

Summary:
Made objects update happening from multiple threads. It is a task-based
scheduling system which uses current dependency graph for spawning new
tasks. This means threading happens on object level, but the system is
flexible enough for higher granularity.
Technical details:
- Uses task scheduler which was recently committed to trunk
(that one which Brecht ported from Cycles).
- Added two utility functions to dependency graph:
* DAG_threaded_update_begin, which is called to initialize threaded
objects update. It will also schedule root DAG node to the queue,
hence starting evaluation process.
Initialization will calculate how much parents are to be evaluation
before current DAG node can be scheduled. This value is used by task
threads for faster detecting which nodes might be scheduled.
* DAG_threaded_update_handle_node_updated which is called from task
thread function when node was fully handled.
This function decreases num_pending_parents of node children and
schedules children with zero valency.
As it might have become clear, task thread receives DAG nodes and
decides which callback to call for it.
Currently only BKE_object_handle_update is called for object nodes.
In the future it'll call node->callback() from Ali's new DAG.
- This required adding some workarounds to the render pipeline.
Mainly to stop using get_object_dm() from modifiers' apply callback.
Such a call was only a workaround for dependency graph glitch when
rendering scene with, say, boolean modifiers before displaying
this scene.
Such change moves workaround from one place to another, so overall
hackentropy remains the same.
- Added paradigm of EvaluaitonContext. Currently it's more like just a
more reliable replacement for G.is_rendering which fails in some
circumstances.
Future idea of this context is to also store all the local data needed
for objects evaluation such as local time, Copy-on-Write data and so.
There're two types of EvaluationContext:
* Context used for viewport updated and owned by Main. In the future
this context might be easily moved to Window or Screen to allo
per-window/per-screen local time.
* Context used by render engines to evaluate objects for render purposes.
Render engine is an owner of this context.
This context is passed to all object update routines.

The problem is that the animation curves are first before object updates,
where BKE_pose_rebuild and proxy synchronize will undo the animation when the
proxy is evaluted for the first time after loading.
This is somewhat of a workaround but it's also useful to have the scene updated
once when opening in background mode, and it makes rendering from the UI and
background more similar and so more predictable to give the same result.
Summary:
Old idea with changes since previous release tag
didn't work good enough. In most of the cases tag
was done in a branch hence not actually reachable
from the master branch.
Now change since release is gone, and date of
the latest commit is used instead.
The date is displayed in format YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm
in the splash.
New bpy.app fields:
- build_commit_timestamp is an unix timestamp of
the commit blender was build from.
- build_commit_date is a date of that commit.
- build_commit_time is a time of that commit.

- Use commit number since last annotated tag as a
revision number replacement. It'll eb followed
by 'M' symbol if there're local modification in
the source tree.
- Commit short SHA1 is included. Helps getting
information about commit used to build blender
with much faster.
- If build is not done from master branch, this also
will be noticed in the splash screen.
This commit also replaces revision stored in the
files with git-specific fields (change and hash).
This is kind of breaks compatibility, meaning
files which were saved before this change wouldn't
display any information about which revision they
were saved with. When we'll finally switch to git,
we'll see proper hash and change number since
previous release in the files, for until then
svn version will be used as a change number and
hash will be empty.
Not a huge deal, since this field was only used
by developers to help torubleshooting things and
isn't needed for blender itself.
Some additional tweaks are probably needed :)
Release builds will now use lock-free allocator by
default without any internal locks happening.
MemHead is also reduces to as minimum as it's possible.
It still need to be size_t stored in a MemHead in order
to make us keep track on memory we're requesting from
the system, not memory which system is allocating. This
is probably also faster than using a malloc's usable
size function.
Lock-free guarded allocator will say you whether all
the blocks were freed, but wouldn't give you a list
of unfreed blocks list. To have such a list use a
--debug or --debug-memory command line arguments.
Debug builds does have the same behavior as release
builds. This is so tools like valgrind are not
screwed up by guarded allocator as they're currently
are.

with other applications launching SDL applications from Blender.
At the time this was added the game engine joystick code was unnecessarily
initializing the SDL video subsystem, and looking at the SDL source code that's
the only place this environment variable is read. That doesn't happen anymore,
though we do have WITH_GHOST_SDL now. But the environment variable is set after
GHOST has been initialized, otherwise this code would have actually broken that.
- script execution is off by default
- if a blend file attempts to execute a script
this shows a message in the header with the action
that was suppressed (script/driver/game-autostart) and 2 buttons to either reload the file trusted, or to ignore the message.
- the file selector will always default to use the trust setting in the user preferences,
but reloading an open file will keep using the current setting (whatever was set before or set on the command-line).
- added SCons setting WITH_BF_PYTHON_SECURITY, this sets the default state for the user prefereces not to trust blend files on load.
... this option was in CMake before, but always off, now its enabled by default for SCons and CMake, and forced on in CMake for now.
Need to initialize FFmpeg for animation player.
This is a bit confusing, but the only way to do this
properly and clear is to call IMB_ffmpeg_init from
playback_mode command line callback.
This is because this callback is blocking and
"usual" FFmpeg initializetion (which happens after
command line parsing) was never called.
Could be switched to separate FFmpeg initializtion
and debug level set but let's keep simple for now.
The feature "Keep Session" was also loading that session when you double-click
on a .blend to open it, or when a .blend file was on commandline.
Moved this feature to the main() in creator.c, so it can check on it properly, skipping the
kept session when a file was loaded.

Nice formatted version (pictures soon):
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Ref/Release_Notes/2.66/Usability
Short list of main changes:
- Transparent region option (over main region), added code to blend in/out such panels.
- Min size window now 640 x 480
- Fixed DPI for ui - lots of cleanup and changes everywhere. Icon image need correct size still, layer-in-use icon needs remake.
- Macbook retina support, use command line --no-native-pixels to disable it
- Timeline Marker label was drawing wrong
- Trackpad and magic mouse: supports zoom (hold ctrl)
- Fix for splash position: removed ghost function and made window size update after creation immediate
- Fast undo buffer save now adds UI as well. Could be checked for regular file save even...
Quit.blend and temp file saving use this now.
- Dixed filename in window on reading quit.blend or temp saves, and they now add a warning in window title: "(Recovered)"
- New Userpref option "Keep Session" - this always saves quit.blend, and loads on start.
This allows keeping UI and data without actual saves, until you actually save.
When you load startup.blend and quit, it recognises the quit.blend as a startup (no file name in header)
- Added 3D view copy/paste buffers (selected objects). Shortcuts ctrl-c, ctrl-v (OSX, cmd-c, cmd-v).
Coded partial file saving for it. Could be used for other purposes. Todo: use OS clipboards.
- User preferences (themes, keymaps, user settings) now can be saved as a separate file.
Old option is called "Save Startup File" the new one "Save User Settings".
To visualise this difference, the 'save startup file' button has been removed from user preferences window. That option is available as CTRL+U and in File menu still.
- OSX: fixed bug that stopped giving mouse events outside window.
This also fixes "Continuous Grab" for OSX. (error since 2009)
* Split and moved Cycles’ render layers panels into the render_layer
context as well (would be nice to hide this context when not needed,
e.g. with the BGE, but this is not so easy to do nicely...).
* Fixed some inconsistencies with trunk (probably due to svn merge
glitches) using r52858 as reference. Also recovered the missing
release/bin/blender-softwaregl file.
* A bunch of style code fixes in Blender's own code (not Freestyle
itself yet): line lengths, spaces around operators, block formatting,
headers, etc. In rna_linestyle.c, color_blend_items was replaced by
ramp_blend_items (exported from rna_material.c).
This commit makes BKE_image_acquire_ibuf referencing result, which means once
some area requested for image buffer, it'll be guaranteed this buffer wouldn't
be freed by image signal.
To de-reference buffer BKE_image_release_ibuf should now always be used.
To make referencing working correct we can not rely on result of
image_get_ibuf_threadsafe called outside from thread lock. This is so because
we need to guarantee getting image buffer from list of loaded buffers and it's
referencing happens atomic. Without lock here it is possible that between call
of image_get_ibuf_threadsafe and referencing the buffer IMA_SIGNAL_FREE would
be called. Image signal handling too is blocking now to prevent such a
situation.
Threads are locking by spinlock, which are faster than mutexes. There were some
slowdown reports in the past about render slowdown when using OSX on Xeon CPU.
It shouldn't happen with spin locks, but more tests on different hardware would
be really welcome. So far can not see speed regressions on own computers.
This commit also removes BKE_image_get_ibuf, because it was not so intuitive
when get_ibuf and acquire_ibuf should be used.
