Since the choice to link or append has been removed in the file browser operator panel,
there was no way to tell whether as a user you were linking or appending.
To fix this the proposed patch separates the operators.

Now they do, to make it harder to accidentally press them and lose work.

Previously there was no way to see if autopack was enabled. Now the external
data menu has 3 entries instead of 2:
* Automatically Pack Into .blend (with checkbox to indicate autopack on/off)
* Pack All Into .blend
* Unpack All Into Files
Fixes T37608, includes modifications by Brecht from the original patch.

* Update readme for 2.70 (content + links), also updates for new tracker/git.
* Fix some links to the new blender.org website
* Release logs now point directly to the wiki, I don't see a reason to point to the website, just to redirect to the wiki after all.
* Remove unused UI code for Info Space items. Was lying around here for some months already.
Probably we have to re-think the whole placement of the operator history thing, but thats for later. In the current config there is no room for these buttons though.
* Remove "FCurve/Driver Version fix" from help menu, was used for RNA changes during 2.5x.
* Keep utility code in animsys_refactor.py, might still become useful according to Joshua.
* Move the "Add" menu from the Info header into the 3D View header.
Patch by Andrew Buttery (axb), with small tweaks by myself. (Patch ID #37241).
Approved by Brecht and Jonathan.
curves and metaballs now behave the same as meshes wrt grid scaling.
remove WM_operator_view3d_distance_invoke(), and replace with a function called from exec which initializes defaults, this way operators can have their own invoke functions.
- script execution is off by default
- if a blend file attempts to execute a script
this shows a message in the header with the action
that was suppressed (script/driver/game-autostart) and 2 buttons to either reload the file trusted, or to ignore the message.
- the file selector will always default to use the trust setting in the user preferences,
but reloading an open file will keep using the current setting (whatever was set before or set on the command-line).
- added SCons setting WITH_BF_PYTHON_SECURITY, this sets the default state for the user prefereces not to trust blend files on load.
... this option was in CMake before, but always off, now its enabled by default for SCons and CMake, and forced on in CMake for now.
Thought of setting the operator context before so it wouldnt invoke the confirmation dialog, but better leave it by default to confirm since it might be clicked by mistake and start dumping video/image-sequence and can get annoying.
adding meshes were scaling the user input values so the distance on the button didnt relate to the scale of the object added.
Now use an invoke function that scales unset default values.
* Get rid of ED_object_add_generic_invoke() and all invoke callbacks using it, it was doing nothing exec() callbacks would not do. In fact, its only action (setting part of common add ops properties, like loc, layers, etc.) was needed too by direct exec call, so it was done twice in case of using invoke()!
* Replace custom invoke code for metaballs by WM_menu_invoke helper (as already used by lamps).
* Add a new OBJECT_OT_empty_add op, to allow direct addition of empties of a given drawtype.
* And some general code cleanup (like trailing spaces, empty lines, ...).
Did quite a bunch of tests/verifications, but obviously could not tackle all possible scenarios... Anyway, if any, bugs should arize quite quickly (but I don’t expect any! :p ).
There was strange context changes in the Add menu... Now everything uses the EXEC_REGION_WIN one (no need to invoke here, and metaballs have a strange specific invoke func...). This fixes the problem when using Add menu from a 3D view. Obviously, it still doesn't work when used from Info window's header, but that can't be helped for now (and never worked for any kind of object).
Anyway, imho all this "add object" code could use some review/cleanup, both on py menu and C ops side, but this is obviously postponed to after 2.64!
* Added a new window submenu, which contains operators for duplicating the window, going fullscreen and toggling the system console on Windows.
* Removed the Toggle fullscreen button from the header, its available via menu or shortcut (ALT+F11).
Based on patch [#24709] Window menu added to Info menus by Elia Sarti (vekoon). Thanks!
