Janne Karhu 66918b3add A bunch of fun stuff now possible because of new pointcache code:
* Baked normal particles can now use the "Path" visualization.
* Path "max length" & "abs length" are now history:
	- New option to set path start & end times + random variation to length.
	- Much more flexible (and calculated better) than previous options.
	- This works with parents, children, hair & normal particles unlike old length option.
	- Only known issue for now is that children from faces don't get calculated correctly when using path start time.
* New option "trails" for "halo", "line" and "billboard" visualizations:
	- Draws user controllable number of particle instances along particles path backwards from current position.
	- Works with children too for cool/weird visualizations that weren't possible before.
* Normal particle children's velocities are now approximated better when needed so that "line" visualization trails will look nice.
* New particle instance modifier options:
	- "path"-option works better and has controllable (max)position along path (with random variation possible).
	- "keep shape"-option for hair, keyed, or baked particles allows to place the instances to a single point (with random variation possible) along particle path.
	- "axis" option to make rotation handling better (still not perfect, but will have to do for now).

Some fixes & cleanup done along the way:
* Random path length didn't work for non-child particles.
* Cached & unborn particles weren't reset to emit locations.
* Particle numbers weren't drawn in the correct place.
* Setting proper render & draw visualizations was lost somewhere when initializing new particle settings.
* Changing child mode wasn't working correctly.
* Some cleanup & modularization of particle child effector code and particle drawing & rendering code.
* Object & group visualizations didn't work.
* Child simplification didn't work.

Welcome to the fun world of open source.

For instructions on building and installing Blender, please see the file named
INSTALL.


---------------------.Blanguages and the .blender directory---------------------

The .blender directory holds various data files for Blender.
In the 2.28a release those are the .Blanguages file containing a list of
translations, the translations themselves and a default ttf font.

Blender checks for the presence of this directory in several locations:
	- the current directory
	- your home directory
	- On OSX, the blender bundle is also checked 
	- On Windows, the installation dir is checked.

If you get a 'File ".Blanguages" not found' warning, try to copy the .blender
dir to one of these locations (your home directory being recommended).
