All data layers, including MVert/MEdge/MFace, are now managed as custom
data layers. The pointers like Mesh.mvert, Mesh.dvert or Mesh.mcol are
still used of course, but allocating, copying or freeing these arrays
should be done through the CustomData API.
Work in progress documentation on this is here:
http://mediawiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderDev/BlenderArchitecture/CustomData
Replaced TFace by MTFace:
This is the same struct, except that it does not contain color, that now
always stays separated in MCol. This was not a good design decision to
begin with, and it is needed for adding multiple color layers later. Note
that this does mean older Blender versions will not be able to read UV
coordinates from the next release, due to an SDNA limitation.
Removed DispListMesh:
This now fully replaced by DerivedMesh. To provide access to arrays of
vertices, edges and faces, like DispListMesh does. The semantics of the
DerivedMesh.getVertArray() and similar functions were changed to return
a pointer to an array if one exists, or otherwise allocate a temporary
one. On releasing the DerivedMesh, this temporary array will be removed
automatically.
Removed ssDM and meshDM DerivedMesh backends:
The ssDM backend was for DispListMesh, so that became obsolete automatically.
The meshDM backend was replaced by the custom data backend, that now figures
out which layers need to be modified, and only duplicates those.
This changes code in many places, and overall removes 2514 lines of code.
So, there's a good chance this might break some stuff, although I've been
testing it for a few days now. The good news is, adding multiple color and
uv layers should now become easy.
extern/bullet/BulletDynamics/ConstraintSolver/SimpleConstraintSolver.h
added newline at end of file.
intern/boolop/intern/BOP_Face2Face.cpp
fixed indentation and had nested declarations of a varible i used
for multiple for loops, changed it to just one declaration.
source/blender/blenkernel/bad_level_call_stubs/stubs.c
added prototypes and a couple other fixes.
source/blender/include/BDR_drawobject.h
source/blender/include/BSE_node.h
source/blender/include/butspace.h
source/blender/render/extern/include/RE_shader_ext.h
added struct definitions
source/blender/src/editmesh_mods.c
source/gameengine/Ketsji/KX_BlenderMaterial.cpp
source/gameengine/Ketsji/KX_ConvertPhysicsObjects.cpp
source/gameengine/Ketsji/KX_RaySensor.cpp
removed unused variables;
source/gameengine/GameLogic/Joystick/SCA_Joystick.cpp
changed format of case statements to avoid warnings in gcc.

(with make, need to confirm with scons)
after cleaning the changes are in fact minimal, but the situation
is still quite a bit hackish.
Game engine coders, there is also quite a number of warnings that
need to be fixed.
current situation is that everything seems to work, but GLSL shaders
spew a lot of errors on console and blender may crash on exit when
a GLSL shader was used. ARB stuff works fine.
remove constraint fixed,
Bullet timestep now subdivides Blender game engine timestep, so it runs 60 hertz,
SphereShape reverted to old style, so no support for non-uniform scaled spheres for now,
Armatures are back
Split screen
Double sided lightning
Ambient lighting
Alpha test
Material IPO support (one per object atm)
Blender materials
GLSL shaders - Python access
Up to three texture samplers from the material panel ( 2D & Cube map )
Python access to a second set of uv coordinates
