From the patch description:
ValterVB on #blendercoders submitted a long list of missing tooltips in Blender, and I went through the list and added all I knew. After that I crowdsourced the rest by putting a spreadsheet on Google docs and having people fill in the missing ones that I didn't know. So if there's some weird tooltip in there that doesn't make sense, that's why.
Thanks to Wolter, spacetug and others on BlenderArtists for contributing tooltips.
from the current shape mix. The old behavior is still accessable from the
menu as "New Shape From Mix".
Checked with Sergey and Bassam that this is a good change. New users
expect the add shape button to simply add a new blank shape, and get
confused when that is not the case. It is also really easy to
accidentally have other shape information in a new shape when the
"from mix" behavior is default.
- follow rotate/pan/zoom/dolly operators.
- auto-depth preference works.
- smooth view navigation supported.
- view selected, all & numpad operator work too.
TODO
- deal with camera transform locked axis
- find a way to move/zoom the frame while the camera is locked (if it turns out to be a problem).
from Andy Braham (andybraham)
This adds support for empties to reference images and draw in the 3D view.
Modifications from the original patch.
- use an empty draw 'image' type
- use image aspect ratio for non-square-pixels
- when the image is not found, still draw the frame.
Added new option to find panel of space text which toggles
case-esensitive search.
Additional changes:
- Send NC_TEXT|NA_EDITED when removing markers in find_and_replace modifier
this prevents "sticked" markers which disappears on first redraw when
search text wasn't found
- Do not show "Text wasn't found" error when text to be searched is contained
in the end of buffer and it's selected. Replacing/marking used to happen, but
this popup message was really annoying for this case.
TODO: It's incorrect to use UI_GetThemeColor4ubv from this operator
- Constructive modifiers are enabled by default in sculpt mode.
- There's option to disable all constructive modifiers in the "Options"
panel of toolbox in sculpt mode,
- Use one column in options panel to make strings easier to read
- No modifiers would still be applied on multires
- installing an addon which creates a new script directory didn't add this to the sys.path.
- installing the addon was meant to set the search string to the addon name but was broken.
simple modifier, almost like a hook, except it can deform with 2 object source -> target, has option to preserve rotation and use different falloff types.
Simple incorrect property accessing fix (enum_items vs. items).
Additional change: removed hotkey to toggle airbrush in sculpt mode
TODO: incorrect hotkeys are shown in stroke method menu, but it's how
hotkey string detecting works now.
Made some improvements to the point density texture. Added support
for tweaking the falloff with a custom curve. Also coded new
falloff types based on the age or velocity of particles.
Also added a test break check to the volumetric shade cache code,
to avoid nasty hangups from the preview render (on render, exit,
etc).
* Implemented a new operator "WM_OT_properties_context_change" to switch to a different tab inside the properties window.
* This is used now inside the Modifier tab for Simulation Modifiers. Based on a mockup by Janne Karhu:

Rather than having a delete button there anymore, the button changes the context to Physics/Particles, where you can edit the settings and delete the actual simulation.
- continue zoom now uses the same options as dolly (hoz/vert & invert).
- remove event mouse coord hack to bypass touchpad zoom invert, instead pass invert as an argument.
A change in the poll callback that Available KeyingSet used to use
restricted its use to Object-mode only, while this could also be
useful in Pose Mode (though it would only affect all channels there).
Made this use a custom poll callback now that tests for whether the
active object has an action. This does mean that if you select a bunch
of objects with animation data, but the active object doesn't have it,
then the keyingset will fail to fire, but that's been marked as a todo
in the code.
EditMode mesh: tool "Mesh Rip Move" shouldnt be in the toolbar.
The tool was coded to use the mouse position next to the selection.
The rip then happens correctly after pressing V and move mouse away
from selection.
- render check for ortho/panorama combination wasn't working since the flags were not initialized at the time of checking.
- disable panorama button in ortho mode.
- only attempt to restore old 'user' settings (not local), since bundled blender's always use their own settings.
- only automatically run 'bpy.ops.wm.read_homefile()' after copying files if the user hasnt alreadt started making changes in the blend file.
