Patch from Miika Hämäläinen.
The old Material "Only Shadow" used an ancient 'best guess'
formula using Lamp Distance and some averaging for converting
shadow values to alpha.
A couple of bug reporters already complained about the not
very predictable renders. Miika fixed this by adding two
new options, to only give the true shadow factor exclusively,
or to give a result including light intensity values.

the old FH setting was blended with the other physics settings (friction and elastic)
Also in the Physics panel it was saying "Use Material Physics" but the button is only for Force Field.
Since I was here I decided to change the Constraint FH ui name from Fh to Force. I don't think users really understand what FH is (I for once don't).
Thanks to Carsten Wartmann for pointing that out.
- Added option "Fixed Texture" to the UI. Because of strange reason,
this feature was implemented but hidden from users.
Would be cool, if somebody familiar with 2d texture paiting check.
- Fixed some issues in existing code of fixed texture paiting.
It now handles brush radius and curve correct.
- Also fixed issue with paiting with texture from node tree - it used
to be painted with regular brush color instead of texture.
- use own OrderedDictMini class, pythons collections.OrderedDict is overkill, 179 sloc. replaced with own, 11 lines.
- remove code which stored the class file & line per RNA subclass, this was useful but would raise its own exception every time to generate a stack trace to get the class info so we could use of the class failed to register. the class stores its module & name which can be enough to find where it was defined.
Finally, the Blender icon can be used for the splash screen menu entry, on own todo for almost 1 year!
Thanks to elubie for fixing this in the code. :)
* Moved ICON_BLENDER away from (0,0) spot in blenderbuttons, since ICON_BLENDER=0 define is conflicting ICON_NULL define as well as with logic checks for nonzero icon id.
* This solved bug where ICON_BLENDER can't be set from Python as well as when using new UI functions from within Blender.
From the tracker:::
Issues fixed:
- ConeTwist-constraint's params weren't making it to the CcdPhysicsEnvironment, also added Hinge's params.
- UI wasn't using angles where applicable.
- btHingeConstraint's constructor can create frame-matrices which don't align so the hinge doesn's start at 0 degree tilt.
This is an issue when setting limits.
Changes:
- UI: Hinge limits can be set (and disabled).
- UI: ConeTwist only has max-limits and only the twistX can be disabled
- PyApi via rna_constraint.c: added the functions limit_xyz_min, limit_xyz_max (for 6dof), limit_angle_xyz_min,
limit_angle_xyz_max (for 6dof), limit_angle_x_min, limit_angle_x_max (for hinge).
- PyApi: dropped python-function limit_cone_min.
.:. Extra:
UI Changes:
- renamed "RigidBody Joint" to "Rigid Boidy Joint"
- reorganized UI to conform with other parameters (e.g. Limit Rot)
- added dis/active all over the place :)
* More code cleanup.
When removing the narrow_ui feature, a lot of split functions were kept. Changed them to rows, which are more easily readable. Check out properties_data_lattice.py for a good example.
markers.
This is useful for when working with lipsync shots, where you've used
markers for noting down key syllables and want to separate these out
into chunks to manage things better.
Layer height used to be controlled with brush radius, quite confusing decision.
Added new property for brushes - height for adjusting affectable brush height
(it could be not only layer height in the future).
* This is basically a total rewrite of the edge split algorithm. The old one didn't handle tris at all and quads were cut wrong in some cases too with the addition of not handling uv coordinates at all.
* This new algorithm uses a flag system to categorize different splits and the identical but rotated cases in a similar way to how marching cubes indexes different cases.
* It cuts quads and tris and creates proper uv's for the new faces too.
* I also renamed the option to "edge cut" to differentiate if from the edge split modifier and added an option to override a uv-channel in the exploded mesh with particle age as x-coordinate so that the shrapnel can be faded out nicely etc.

mostly because of the recent changes in normalmap channels,
so users can adopt old bakes quickly.
though they might aswell prove useful in other situations.
