big lamps and sharp glossy reflections. This was already supported for mesh
lights and the background, so lamps should do it too.
This is not for free and it's a bit slower than I hoped even though there is
no extra BVH ray intersection. I'll try to optimize it more later.
* Area lights look a bit different now, they had the wrong shape before.
* Also fixes a sampling issue in the non-progressive integrator.
* Only enabled for the CPU, will test on the GPU later.
* An option to disable this will be added for situations where it does not help.

should be no functional changes yet. UV, tangent and intercept are now stored
as attributes, with the intention to add more like multiple uv's, vertex
colors, generated coordinates and motion vectors later.
Things got a bit messy due to having both triangle and curve data in the same
mesh data structure, which also gives us two sets of attributes. This will get
cleaned up when we split the mesh class.
not properly optimized out in some cases.
For reference, setting this will give detailed information about OSL shaders:
export OSL_OPTIONS="statistics:level=1,debug=1,llvm_debug=1"
OSL noise() function is generating NaN's in certain cases, fix for that goes to our
OSL branch.
Also add missing minimum weight and max closure checks to OSL, forgot to add these
when fixing another bug.
Also some simple OSL optimization, passing thread data pointer directly instead
of via thread local storage, and creating ustrings for attribute lookup.
rays from the OSL shader. The "shade" parameter is not supported currently, but
attributes can be retrieved from the object that was hit using the
getmessage("trace", ..) function.
As mentioned in the OSL specification, this function can't be used instead of
lighting, the main purpose is to allow shaders to "probe" nearby geometry, for
example to apply a projected texture that can be blocked by geometry, apply
more “wear” to exposed geometry, or make other ambient occlusion-like effects.

transmission pass and filter glossy option.
The BSDF closure class is now more similar to the SVM closures, and includes
some flags and labels that are needed to properly categorize the BSDF's for
render passes. Phong closure is gone for the moment, needs to be adapated to
the new structure still.
This does not actually work: The context must not be shared between threads, but using the same context between different samples actually seems to prevent OSL from switching between shaders. The proper solution would be to ensure memory pooling works correctly.
This reverts commit 69f87e69258d6266dcb20f09f7e3d4021e663432.
decided it's better to render objects as either surface or volume.
This may break the volume rendering patch, but shaders with volume closures still
get tagged as having volume closures, so it should be fixable without too many
changes.
* Fix missing update when editing objects with emission materials.
* Fix preview pass rendering set to 1 not showing full resolution.
* Fix CUDA runtime compiling failing due to missing cache directory.
* Use settings from first render layer for visibility and material override.
And a bunch of incomplete and still disabled code mostly related to closure
sampling.
* Add max diffuse/glossy/transmission bounces
* Add separate min/max for transparent depth
* Updated/added some presets that use these options
* Add ray visibility options for objects, to hide them from
camera/diffuse/glossy/transmission/shadow rays
* Is singular ray output for light path node
Details here:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:2.5/Source/Render/Cycles/LightPaths
* Add alpha pass output, to use set Transparent option in Film panel.
* Add Holdout closure (OSL terminology), this is like the Sky option in the
internal renderer, objects with this closure show the background / zero
alpha.
* Add option to use Gaussian instead of Box pixel filter in the UI.
* Remove camera response curves for now, they don't really belong here in
the pipeline, should be moved to compositor.
* Output full float values for rendering now, previously was only byte precision.
* Add a patch from Thomas to get a preview passes option, but still disabled
because it isn't quite working right yet.
* CUDA: don't compile shader graph evaluation inline.
* Convert tabs to spaces in python files.
