This is a new option for panorama cameras to render
stereo that can be used in virtual reality devices
The option is available under the camera panel when Multi-View is enabled (Views option in the Render Layers panel)
Known limitations:
------------------
* Parallel convergence is not supported (you need to set a convergence distance really high to simulate this effect).
* Pivot was not supposed to affect the render but it does, this has to be looked at, but for now set it to CENTER
* Derivatives in perspective camera need to be pre-computed or we shuld get rid of kcam->dx/dy (Sergey words, I don't fully grasp the implication shere)
* This works in perspective mode and in panorama mode. However, for fully benefit from this effect in perspective mode you need to render a cube map. (there is an addon for this, developed separately, perhaps we could include it in master).
* We have no support for "neck distance" at the moment. This is supposed to help with objects at short distances.
* We have no support to rotate the "Up Axis" of the stereo plane. Meaning, we hardcode 0,0,1 as UP, and create the stereo pair related to that. (although we could take the camera local UP when rendering panoramas, this wouldn't work for perspective cameras.
* We have no support for interocular distance attenuation based on the proximity of the poles (which helps to reduce the pole rotation effect/artifact).
THIS NEEDS DOCS - both in 2.78 release log and the Blender manual.

This patch specifically dates from March 2015, as you can see in the code.blender.org post. Many thanks to all the reviewers, testers and minor sponsors who helped me maintain spherical-stereo for 1 year.
All that said, have fun with this. This feature was what got me started with Multi-View development (at the time what I was looking for was Fulldome stereo support, but the implementation is the same). In order to make this into Blender I had to make it aiming at a less-specic user-case Thus Multi-View started. (this was December 2012, during Siggraph Asia and a chat I had with Paul Bourke during the conference). I don't have the original patch anymore, but you can find a re-based version of it from March 2013, right before I start with the Multi-View project https://developer.blender.org/P332

This is a bit annoying, but FFmpeg can't deal with unaligned arrays in some
cases. There seems to be an easy workaround with using SWS_ACCURATE_RND flag
which should be harmless since we don't really scaling frames, but only
using sws_scale to change color space.
Additionally, this is what VLC is also using.
This assumed the OSX SDK version matched the OSX version, which isn't always true.
Also problematic for maintenance and would make building older Blender versions on OSX fail.
Passing in pre-defined OSX_SYSTEM is also supported,
if you have multiple and want to select one.
This patch enables libboost_iostreams and bumps the magic number to match.

World space and view space normals were mixed up, we should only convert from
world to view space if a custom normal is connected, otherwise it is already in
view space.
This reverts commit fe7bab13439fe6f0181f6661fbf7bb7ae18f5310.
Setting correct context is important,
but this is setting DPI and widget unit on *every* mouse move.
Changing virtual pixelsize only had an affect when a second window was open. (Was also possible to trigger update by opening another window.)
Steps to reproduce:
* Change any editor into user preferences *in main window*
* Change virtual pixel size -> nothing happens
Only applied in a really few cases actually.
To reproduce:
* Open User Preferences *in own window*
* Search for node wrangler add-on (it's one of the few cases where this happens)
* Enable and open details
* Click on one of the menues in the add-on preferences
Actually this was reproducable in any window, user preference area just had to take up most/all of the width.
Note: I'm not totally sure if just disabling these lines is correct, but I didn't find any issues or any information why this was needed. So it seems to be redundant.
Once a dupli had a valid bbox, that bbox would be used for all following objects
without bbox, instead of skipping clipping check.
Issue unveiled by rB3fa0a1a5bc0ff2, but not related at all (in fact, bug was present before that commit).
