Fix [#25473] 64bit Windows installer for version 2.56 is not working
patch submitted by Caleb (Dobz)
The thumbnail patch adds a thumb handler DLL that adds .blend thumbnail support in Windows Explorer. A -r option is added to do registration in background. The patch also improves icon building and metadata for blender.exe.
Caleb fixes and cleans up our installer to an acceptable state. The patch uses the new -r option to do the .blend extension and thumbnailer registration.
Thanks to both Caleb and Tom for their efforts!
restore, would not get their dependencies updated when they became visible.
It happend with a shrinkwrap modifier in these reports, but could happen with
other modifiers too.
Now we keep track of which layers have ever been updated since load, and tag
objects on them to be recalculated when they become visible.
- opening a file with blender by passing it as an argument would and loading it once in blender left script auto execute flag in a different state.
- command line args --enable/disable-autoexec were being overridden by the user prefs.
CMake build option WITH_PYTHON_MODULE, will build ./bin/bpy.so
This allows 'bpy' to be imported from python or other applications/IDE's which embed python, eg:
python -c "import bpy ; bpy.ops.render.render(write_still=True)"
This runs in background mode and has similar restrictions to running a script:
blender --background --python test.py
TODO:
- install to site-packages with blender scripts
- add support for imp.reload()
- use NULL rather then 0 where possible (makes code & function calls more readable IMHO).
- set static variables and functions (exposed some unused vars/funcs).
- use func(void) rather then func() for definitions.
- modifier code was using sizeof() without knowing the sizeof the array when clearing the modifier type array.
- use BLI_snprintf rather then sprintf where the size of the string is known.
- particle drawing code kept a reference to stack float values (not a problem at the moment but would crash if accessed later).
Added because CTest has no convenient way to set environment vars for commands it runs.

from Alexander Kuznetsov (alexk) with edits.
From the report:
Blender assumed that all files are .blend as retval = 0;
Now retval is initialized as file cannot be open (-1) for gzopen fail and directory case
retval = -2; is defined for not supported formats
This must be assigned before #ifdef WITH_PYTHON because this part can be missing
Finally retval = 0; if it is a .blend file

also made other edits.
- exotic.c's blend header checking was sloppy, didn't check data was actually read, only checked first 4 bytes and had a check for "blend.gz" extension which is unnecessary.
- use defines to help readability for BKE_read_exotic & BKE_read_file return values.
- no need to check for a NULL pointer before calling BKE_reportf(). (will just print to the console)
- print better reports when the file fails to load.
- bpy.app.driver_namespace, read-only dictionary, edit in-place.
- reset on file load and new file.
- on errors the namespace used to be reset, this should not be needed.
simple example.
def driverFunc(val):
return val * val
bpy.app.driver_namespace['driverFunc'] = driverFunc
... now all drivers can access this function.
Added extend option to lasso.
also...
- selecting bones wasn't checking their layer of if they were hidden in a number of places.
- fixed memory leak.
small unrealed changes
- added PBONE_VISIBLE macro
- renamed functions used for paint selectoin from *_tface to paintface_*. sine they no longer have anything todo with tface's.
- removed scanfill include from BLI_blenlib.h, this is only used in very few places and quite specific.
Noticed lasso select is broken for metaballs and face mask mode but this has been the case for a while, will look into it next.
- omit render code from this warning (cmake only), until render branch is merged.
- moved -Wunused-parameter warning to apply to all C code in blender (not just ./source/blender), (cmake only).
- made interface, windowmanager, readfile build without unused warnings.
- re-arranged CMake's source/blender build order so less changed libs are build later, eg: IK, avi
- fixed WM_OT_context_cycle_int was causing problems with int overflow, now it cycles properly.
- rename QUOTE macro to STRINGIFY_ARG, and added STRINGIFY, which is used more often since it gives the value as a string.
- 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.
Rough summary of fixes/changes:
- Blender Py API: GameLogic -> bge.logic
- Blender Py API: Implemented missing KX_PYATTRIBUTE_TODOs and -DUMMYs.
- Fix for [#22924] KX_PolygonMaterial.diffuse does not return expected list[r,g,b]
- Py API: Renaming _owner attribute of mathutils classes to owner.
- Fix some minor errors in mathutils and blf.
- Enabling game engine autoplay again based on a patch by Dalai:
* The biggest 3D view in the open scene is used, if there is none, blender opens the file normally and raises an error.
* The 3D view are is made fullscreen.
* Quad view, header, properties and toolbox panel are all hidden to get the maximum view.
* If the game engine full screen setting is set, the game starts in fullscreen.
- Fix for ipo conversion on file transition in the game engine.
