effect for a render engine using new shading nodes. In short:
* No longer uses images assigned to faces in the uv layer, rather the active
image texture node is what is edited/painted/drawn.
* Textured draw type now shows the active image texture node, with solid
lighting.
* Material draw mode shows GLSL shader of a simplified material node tree,
using solid lighting.
* Textures for modifiers, brushes, etc, are now available from a dropdown in
the texture tab in the properties editor. These do not use new shading nodes
yet.

to be used by cycles. For testing there's a panel in the node editor if you set
debug to 777, didn't enable it because I'm not sure it's very useful there.
===========================
Commiting camera tracking integration gsoc project into trunk.
This commit includes:
- Bundled version of libmv library (with some changes against official repo,
re-sync with libmv repo a bit later)
- New datatype ID called MovieClip which is optimized to work with movie
clips (both of movie files and image sequences) and doing camera/motion
tracking operations.
- New editor called Clip Editor which is currently used for motion/tracking
stuff only, but which can be easily extended to work with masks too.
This editor supports:
* Loading movie files/image sequences
* Build proxies with different size for loaded movie clip, also supports
building undistorted proxies to increase speed of playback in
undistorted mode.
* Manual lens distortion mode calibration using grid and grease pencil
* Supervised 2D tracking using two different algorithms KLT and SAD.
* Basic algorithm for feature detection
* Camera motion solving. scene orientation
- New constraints to "link" scene objects with solved motions from clip:
* Follow Track (make object follow 2D motion of track with given name
or parent object to reconstructed 3D position of track)
* Camera Solver to make camera moving in the same way as reconstructed camera
This commit NOT includes changes from tomato branch:
- New nodes (they'll be commited as separated patch)
- Automatic image offset guessing for image input node and image editor
(need to do more tests and gather more feedback)
- Code cleanup in libmv-capi. It's not so critical cleanup, just increasing
readability and understanadability of code. Better to make this chaneg when
Keir will finish his current patch.
More details about this project can be found on this page:

Further development of small features would be done in trunk, bigger/experimental
features would first be implemented in tomato branch.

* This adds a Rendered draw type in the 3D view, only available when
the render engine implements the view_draw callback.
* 3D view now stores a pointer to a RenderEngine.
* view_draw() callback will do OpenGL drawing instead of the viewport.
* view_update() callback is called after depsgraph updates.
* Fix: Wave "timescale" also changed simulation behavior. Now different timescale values will lead to nearly identical results, just slower or faster.
* Added "Displace Factor" setting for vertex displace surfaces. You can use it to adjust final displace strength or use negative values to paint bumps.
* Added clamp/map value to wave image sequence output settings.
* RNA description tweaking.
* General code tweaking.
Using OSX Bundle (in oppose to Blender dummy .app) as start point for binary.
That way we don't need to move the blenderplayer after the bundle is finished and we can rebuild it without doing `make install`
I will test more tomorrow, but it should be working now
* Enabled modifier "Apply" button since it can now be used to apply displacement or output layers to the mesh.
* Default surface output names are now unique in case canvas has multiple surfaces of same type.
* Merged "face aligned" and "non-closed" brush options to a single "Project" toggle, available for "Proximity" brushes.
* Added more icons to user interface selections.
* Increased default proximity distance.
* Set proximity falloff ramp to only affect alpha by default.
* Removed some no longer required render ext. functions.
* Fix: geometry node vertex alpha didn't work unless "Vertex Color Paint/Light" was enabled from material.
* Added "Initial Color" setting for surfaces. You can for example set color from UV mapped texture or from vertex colors.
* Added clamping option for "wave" brushes.
* Merged smudge and drip adjacency search code. This fixes some issues with drip effect and makes code easier to maintain.
* Some adjustments to the bounding box generation code.
* OpenMP is now completely disabled if no compile flag is set.
* Wetness values are now properly clamped on vertex surfaces. No more black dots on >1.0 wetness.
* Textured brushes now use same function calls as internal renderer, instead of modified duplicates.
* Moved operator code to editors/physics/.
* Re-enabled some particle brush optimizations.
* Fixed sometimes incorrect volume brush influence.
* Fixed possible crash when using a brush that uses "Voxel Data" texture simultaneously with material preview or render.
* Fixed texture mapping issues for "Object Center" brush.
* Fixed possible crash/corruption when duplicating brush object that uses color ramps.
* Other tweaking and code cleanup.
Diff Keymaps
User edited keymaps now no longer override the builtin keymaps entirely, but
rather save only the difference and reapply those changes. This means they can
stay better in sync when the builtin keymaps change. The diff/patch algorithm
is not perfect, but better for the common case where only a few items are changed
rather than entire keymaps The main weakness is that if a builtin keymap item
changes, user modification of that item may need to be redone in some cases.
Keymap Editor
The most noticeable change here is that there is no longer an "Edit" button for
keymaps, all are editable immediately, but a "Restore" buttons shows for keymaps
and items that have been edited. Shortcuts for addons can also be edited in the
keymap editor.
Addons
Addons now should only modify the new addon keyconfiguration, the keymap items
there will be added to the builtin ones for handling events, and not get lost
when starting new files. Example code of register/unregister:
km = wm.keyconfigs.addon.keymaps.new("3D View", space_type="VIEW_3D")
km.keymap_items.new('my.operator', 'ESC', 'PRESS')
km = wm.keyconfigs.addon.keymaps["3D View"]
km.keymap_items.remove(km.keymap_items["my.operator"])
Compatibility
The changes made are not forward compatible, i.e. if you save user preferences
with newer versions, older versions will not have key configuration changes that
were made.
* Object velocity can now be used to determine brush influence and color.
* Brushes can now be set to "smudge" existing paint.
* Added new operators to easily add and remove surface output mesh data layers from Dynamic Paint ui.
* Fixed drip effect algorithm to work properly on forces pointing towards surface.
* Adjusted drip effect speed.
* Drip effect can now use canvas velocity and acceleration to influence drip direction.
* Fixed texture mapping for material enabled brushes.
* "Object Center" type brushes can now use "material color" as well.
* Improved surface partitioning grid generation algorithm.
* Fixed possible invalid brush collision detection when OpenMP enabled.
* Fixed incorrect random sized particle displace/wave influence.
* Fixed "Object Center" brush color ramp falloff.
* Fixed invalid zero alpha sampling when rendering vertex colors.
* Lots of smaller tweaking.
- added menu templates
- move template menu into the header of the text editor (so users will find more easily)
- updated mathutils examples, switching the order of multiplication.
* Surface bake data is no longer recalculated every frame, but only when surface mesh has moved/transformed. Results in multiple times better performance on high resolution surfaces when using sub-steps or surface is still.
* Heavily optimized particle brushes when random particle size enabled. Up to 10x speedup with large radius particles.
* Added an additional "grid" space partitioning structure for surfaces.
* Added bounding box checks for brushes.
* Smaller overall optimization.
* Further OpenMP parallelization.
* Added physics tab link to modifier panel.
* Fix: "Point Density" texture cache wasn't properly updated. Brushes can now use Point Density textures as well.
* Fix: Paint dissolve resulted in black color.
* Fix: KD-tree checkups weren't completely thread safe. Fixes possible crash with OpenMP enabled particle brushes.
* Fix: When brush was set to use a specific material, it was saved incorrectly and resulted in potential crashes on next load.
