Maya uses OBJ's UV's to generate seams, some people complained that models imported from blender didnt work well in maya.
It was faster to write every faces UV (without doing a remove doubles), but sharing UV coords makes smaller files and might also be more efficient in other applications.
* Added Normalize option for diplacement so everything in the 'Dist' range is mapped 0-1
* Increased the maximum Dist and Bias to1000.0 (was 10.0)
* Added python utility function in BPyRender.py - bakeToPlane(...), to automate heightmap, normalmap generation for Crystalspace.
added icon for 'Toggle Bookmark Area'
disabled the bookmarks for databrowse
allow to add path inside .blend file (could be nice to use as material library for example)
Scenes must be tagged to render, (old render daemon button) but selecting scenes in the data browser (shoft+f4) sets this also.
Using this script to generate jobs for the renderfarm much faster then loading blender.
This means you can have 100's of objects animations run by animating an empty over them, (needs docs to explain really) ... Easy to setup and time a Mexican wave for instance ;)

a4 bugfix: individual support for 2D/3DPOLYLINE/POLYMESH
a4 added to UI: (*wip)BLOCK-(F): name filtering for BLOCKs
a4 added to UI: BLOCK-(n): filter anoname/hatch BLOCKs *X...
a2 g_scale_as is no more GUI_A-variable
a2 bugfix "material": negative sign color_index
a2 added support for BLOCKs defined with origin !=(0,0,0)

v1.0.11: 2007.11.24 by migius
c8 added 'curve_resolution_U' option
c8 added context_sensitivity for some UI-buttons
c8 bugfix ELLIPSE rotation, added closed_variant and caps
c7 rebuild UI: new layout, grouping and meta-buttons
c6 rewritten support for ELLIPSE mesh & curve representation
c6 restore selector-buttons for DXF-drawTypes: LINE & Co
c6 change header of INI/INF-files: # at begin
c6 apply scale(1,1,1) after glob.Scale for all mesh objects, not for curve objects.
c5 fixing 'material_on' option
from BKE_blender.h
Now we just need to update the other build methods to use the script.
Once thats done we can remove the VERSION file since it will no longer
be needed.

* MDD export failed when using a particle-instance modifier due to the use of different ways of retrieving a mesh to count it's vertices.
* MDD importer now shows up in menu of importers again
Based on feedback from Ton, I've recoded the way "PoseLibs" are implemented/exposed. Therefore, quite a bit of code has been changed to fit this in better.
Now, ANY ACTION can be a "PoseLib". A set of Markers which belong to the Action (it's taken a year, but they're finally back), are used to tag "poses" in the Action. These markers are shown using diamond-shaped blue icons (designed by Matt Ebb) in three shades - unselected/normal, selected, active.
Notes:
* Each Armature Object has an Action which acts as a PoseLib.
* Improved UI presented in buttons panel for this
-- added proper buttons for action assigning
-- renamed "Validate PoseLib" to "Auto-Sync PoseLib" (this option auto-tags poses based on keyframes found)
Like in the 3d-view, use the hotkeys:
* Shift-L to add a local marker
* Ctrl-Shift-L to rename a local marker
* Alt-L to delete selected local markers
Note: transforms, etc. are not currently available with these markers
== PoseLib Preview ==
Added a few features here:
* Left/Right-Arrow keys now change the poses too (previous and next respectively)
* Up/Down-Arrow keys also change the poses, but "jump" to a pose 5 steps away in their respective directions
editmode was not exited, and vertex normals would not write at all! (probably own error)
- Edited tooltip for texture DVar (was some user confusion in the studio as to its purpose)
- Set render border is disabled when it has no area - so drawing a box outside the camera disables .
[#7660] Solaris 10 x86 support (Makefiles)
Hopefully it will not mess up anything for anyone else. I removed
some hardcoded static libs and made NAN_*_LIB definitions so they could be
overridden, to allow greater flexability.
Let me know if there are any problems/questions.

modifier.c, BKE_modifier.h - flag for modifiers to say they use pointcache, also new func modifiers_usesPointCache
renamed //pointcache to //blendcache_blendfilename so blendfiles in the same dir dont conflict, and other to show this dir isnt limited to pointcache only (nodes way want to use this)
wizard_curve2tree.py - better defaults for pretty tree's
Object panels were using object_data_is_libdata, which meant linked obdata could not have object settings changed.
curve2tree
- option to face leaves up or down
- random pitch and roll options
- place 2 leaves on a point for denser leaves
- random seed entry so you can get reproducible results
=========
Merge of the famous particle patch by Janne Karhu, a full rewrite
of the Blender particle system. This includes:
- Emitter, Hair and Reactor particle types.
- Newtonian, Keyed and Boids physics.
- Various particle visualisation and rendering types.
- Vertex group and texture control for various properties.
- Interpolated child particles from parents.
- Hair editing with combing, growing, cutting, .. .
- Explode modifier.
- Harmonic, Magnetic fields, and multiple falloff types.
.. and lots of other things, some more info is here:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderDev/Particles_Rewritehttp://wiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderDev/Particles_Rewrite_Doc
The new particle system cannot be backwards compatible. Old particle
systems are being converted to the new system, but will require
tweaking to get them looking the same as before.
Point Cache
===========
The new system to replace manual baking, based on automatic caching
on disk. This is currently used by softbodies and the particle system.
See the Cache API section on:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderDev/PhysicsSprint
Documentation
=============
These new features still need good docs for the release logs, help
for this is appreciated.
