- Icon previews for Images were created always for old files, which made
browsing (menus) incredible slow. Added a minor change in the flow, so
icons only get created when the user invokes loading images.
Andrea; you might check this, probably not al cases are covered yet?
- Compositor: the 'File Output' node now has a min/max frame for which it
writes files
- Compositor: fixed a very bad bug (even in 2.42a release) that made the
depsgraph for nodes not work... while editing, only the nodes that change
should be recalculated, but accidentally all of them were done each time.
Embryon functionnality for snapping.
- Only snaps to grid on translations (grab)
- Transform constraints are supported but header display is wrong.
- Can be turned on/off in the Object/Mesh header menu under Transform Properties (tentative spot, will have to integrate better and in other object type menus too)
- Can be turned on/off during transform with ` (Back Quote, also tentative)
This is, of course, very much Work in Progress.
This implements part of the structural ideas for the transform cleanup I've been juggling around with.
Customizable Grid Subdivisions
This commit adds a numbut to the View Properties panel that lets you specify how the grid is subdivided.
This affects snapping in translations, obviously.
Default: 10 (behavior doesn't change)
That means people still stuck in feet and inches (shudders) can set it to 12 and have 1 unit = 1 foot.
That also means you can work in "heads" when doing body proportions or whatnot (don't think of it as being limite to "CAD" uses).
Missing include for ListBase. Wasn't a problem until someone try to include this without including ListBase (manually or through something else). Safe now.
Creates a 4x4 matrix from location, size and euler angles components.
Coded by Joshua Leung (aligorith) for one of his patches. Integrating right now because it's useful in and of itself.
problems reported by klockwork.com who was very nice and has offered to
provide free source code analisys for us.
This one deals with freeing memory for an object when there is an
error. (The function allocated memory intending to return it but
then ran into problems, and was forgetting to free it before it returned
NULL)

Made nice crashes that way... but not in !@%@$ OSX because it seems to
clear memory unwanted. Solve dit with adding API call in MemArena to default
to callocs.
Also removed malloc() from MemArena, replaced with MEM_mallocN().
In some cases faces were skipped from rendering, when using multiple
RenderLayers. Was caused by a "don't render" flag hanging. Error was
introduced with the "All Z" RenderLayer option.
The refactoring didn't leave a single file the same, all filenames and classes have bt prefix, methodnames start with lowercase, a single headerfile can be included, and also a single include path.
Plan is to make use of this Bullet 2.x version in extern/bullet2 within the coming weeks, then extern/bullet can be discarded/ignored/content removed.
SB collision targets may be picked up from modifier stack
works fine with static targets having subsurf and/or array mofifiers
see-->
http://www.wund.homepage.t-online.de/hidden/Mstack.blendhttp://www.wund.homepage.t-online.de/hidden/Mstack_II.blend
however when calulating the SB object dynamics the vertices of the
'deform only' m-stack result are used
so SB <-> SB may look strange
subsuf modifier is applied to SB object after doing SB dynamics
(that is: colliding mesh is subsurfed, SB is not )
subsurfed SB cubes colliding

or may give unwanted results
subsuf and array modifier is applied to SB object after doing SB dynamics
link --> http://www.wund.homepage.t-online.de/hidden/ColSelfMod_nobug.blend
last, modifiers that change vertex locations in time (like waves)
suffer from not beeing seen at needed time resolution
(SBs see colliders static in a frame)
well but that's beyond the limits of the current dep-graph use
and needs to be resolved on design level
anyhoo have fun

* Add WITH_BF_YAFRAY, which per default is 'true', so no visible changes for developers (and users).
Set WITH_BF_YAFRAY to 'false', and you'll save some major compile time :) Also handy if you're strapped for memory and compilation fails on yafray compilation due
to this.
- this commit also has a few whitespace changes and
- made BF_NO_ELBEEM a proper BoolOption. This will be renamed to WITH_BF_ELBEEM in the near future...
Alt-J behavior has been replaced by a port of the Tri2Quad python script
currently in CVS. This method has many advantages over the old behavior.
A simple illustration of how the new method is superior to the old can be
made by triangulating a suzzane and converting it back to quads.
http://www.umsl.edu/~gcbq44/t2q2a.jpghttp://www.umsl.edu/~gcbq44/t2q2b.jpg
The algorithm works by considering all possible triangle pairings and then
weighting them according to how appropriate it would be to join. These pairs
are then quick-sorted and those with the highest weighting factor are combined.
The function is quite fast even for dense meshes and usually involves no
noticeable wait-time for completion. For instance the following imported
model took less than 2 seconds to convert on my 1.3ghz PPC powerbook:
http://www.umsl.edu/~gcbq44/mimitri.jpghttp://www.umsl.edu/~gcbq44/mimiquad.jpg
It should be noted by the user that this method also discards face pairs
where the two triangles:
-do not share the same material
-do not share the same UV image (texface)
-do not share a compatible set of UV coordinates
-do not share a compatible set of vertex colors
-will form a concave quad or create a non-planar face
Additionally if the edge shared by the pair is marked 'sharp' the pair
will be discarded from the quicksort. In this way the user can gain great
control over the conversion process if they desire as this imported VRML
model of a sneaker illustrates:
http://www.umsl.edu/~gcbq44/t2qa.jpghttp://www.umsl.edu/~gcbq44/t2qb.jpg
For the future it would be nice if some of the options for the conversion
process, such as angle tolerance, could be made configurable in the UI.
However it is unclear at this time which options should be made configurable
and where to put them. Feedback on this is appreciated.
Special Thanks goes to Joe Eager for the two macros he contributed to this code
and to Campbell Barton for writing the script this was based on!
Duplicating a Library-linked Mesh with Library-linked texture Images forgot
to set the texture Image link flag to LIB_EXTERN (LIB_INDIRECT means the ID
is not saved in file).
Error was that a the duplicated Mesh lost texture.

Simply said: by using the average of the nearest and 2nd nearest Z value
in Shadowbuffers you can reduce bias errors very well.
For backwards compatibility it is a new buffer type though.
Full log:
http://www.blender3d.org/cms/Irregular_Shadow_Buffe.785.0.html
In short: this is a shadow buffer approach that always results in crispy
shadows, independent of lamp buffer size or zoom level. This shadow buffer
system also supports transparent shadow.
This is part of work on refreshing Shadow Buffers in Blender. You now can
choose of two types (Classical, Irregular). More types will follow. Also
quality issues for Classical shadow buffers are going to be reviewed,
especially to solve the lousy Biasing.
For the CVS log record; it is based on articles:
Gregory Johnson et al, University of Texas, Austin. (Regular grid method).
Timo Aila and Samuli Laine, Helsinki University of Technology. (BSP method).
nicer kinematics in self collision -> blending to complete inelastic impact
now does something close to real physics
first steps towards aerodynamics
anisotropic friction
springs 'see' their movement in media
--> see surrrounding media does not move and/or reacts on wind
(*for now needs to have a pseudo collider araound -> that is: add a cube in the same layer
and make it a deflector *)
- added green circle behind object node shared at verse server
- it is easier to figure out, what is shared and what isn't shared
- color is hard coded now, but Matt can improve it ;-)
* print (# servers) instead of icon row when there are servers in the list
* dark-green circle behind server icon in server list when connected
* orange when connecting
