- better error reporting when an addon fails to load
- upload an addon which loads partly but then fails (eg, module loads but class register fails)
- bugfix addon loading, failier to load would leave _bpy_types._register_immediate = False
- added which change on disk are reloaded when enabling.
- bpy.path.module_names() now returns (module_name, module_path) pairs.
while not a bug, being able to cycle over vertex/edge/face modes is useful. added an operator to cycle an array, could be used for cycling the active layer or mesh edit mode.
- use 3 column lists for inherited props, funcs and for references to save on vertical space.
- use the blender version string for the upload path and PDF name.
- set_frame() --> frame_set()
- set_context_pointer() --> context_pointer_set()
material adding works for curves and metaballs, new function to remove materials.
materials.link() didnt well fit how this is used elsewhere
- order matters
- it can be linked more than once.
- remove(material), isnt that useful since you need to manage indicies.
... use list style functions instead. materials.append(mat) / materials.pop(index)
* The actual problem was that the total amount of particles was rendered at all, since only the displayed percentage was calculated correctly.
* New behavior is that before baking (baking is always done for full % of particles) the display % is used for rendering too for dynamic particles.
* Also added a warning below the display % slider to inform about the situation.

Mesh Tube > Mesh Cylinder
NURBS Tube > NURBS Cylinder
Metaball Cylinder > Metaball Capsule
I know that naming is something not everyone agrees on, but these terms look geometrically correct.
- From now on addons bl_addon_info['name'] doesn't need to specifcy also the category, it is put automatically in the addon box title
In some script category and the category in the title were not matching, this had to be fixed manually.
- The warning icon is at the right of the addon box title, so that it cant disalign the addon name anymore when we have a warning.
- After discussing with Campbell, I've added the field bl_addon_info['api'] where we should specify the Blender API version number the addon is
compatible with.
This is certainly useful for clarity, and also I need it in place while preparing the downloadable addons.
- Also, bl_addon_info['version'] is now assumed to be a tuple of integers as it is bl_addon_info['blender'].
Any important text should be placed in the bl_addon_info['warning'] field, not in the script version anymore.
I'm going to reflect this change in bf-extensions so that scripts won't suddenly break.
- function renames, move WM functions into collections wm.add_keymap() --> wm.keymaps.new()
note: new is used for named items in a collection, which return the result.
- Action.get_frame_range() is now a readonly property 'frame_range', floats rather then ints.

Adds a field where the user can put in name/nickname that exporters
then can use to write authoring information, where possible.
* 'Active' on TimeLine header needs to show choices ALL KeyingSets available (Builtins + Scene-Absolutes), not just the ones in Scene ("Absolute Paths")
* The active KeyingSet setting is needed/used-by for both of these.
eg:
row.prop_search_self(scene, "active", "keying_sets", text="")
...becomes
row.prop_search(scene.keying_sets, "active", scene, "keying_sets", text="")
This is more flexible since it works for other UI functions too.
eg:
bpy.context.StringProperty(attr='myprop'); del bpy.context.myprop
- made rna StringProperty/PointerProperty & similar into class methods.
- file selector hide option was inverted
scene.active_keying_set --> scene.keying_sets.active
...same for active_uv_texture. active_vertex_color, active_keyconfig,
- move mesh.add_uv_layer() and mesh.add_vertex_color() into their collections
also have them return the newly created layer and dont set the layer active.
uvtex = mesh.uv_layers.new(name)
vcol = mesh.vertex_colors.new(name)
layout.prop_object() --> prop_search().
The internal name is uiItemPointerR, in python this can translate into into an Object, however this is misleading.
It can be confused with a blender Object and uiItemPointerR can also be used for strings.
