This patch adds:
* support for proxy building again (missing feature from Blender 2.49)
additionally to the way, Blender 2.49 worked, you can select several
strips at once and make Blender build proxies in the background (using
the job system)
Also a new thing: movie proxies are now build into AVI files, and
the proxy system is moved into ImBuf-library, so that other parts
of blender can also benefit from it.
* Timecode support: to fix seeking issues with files, that have
a) varying frame rates
b) very large GOP lengths
c) are broken inbetween
d) use different time code tracks
the proxy builder can now also build timecode indices, which are
used (optionally) for seeking.
For the first time, it is possible, to do frame exact seeking on
all file types.
* Support for different video-streams in one video file (can be
selected in sequencer, other parts of blender can also use it,
but UI has to be added accordingly)
* IMPORTANT: this patch *requires* ffmpeg 0.7 or newer, since
older versions don't support the pkt_pts field, that is essential
for building timecode indices.
Windows and Mac libs are already updated, Linux-users have to build
their own ffmpeg verions until distros keep up.
- renaming a bone could crash if the area had to spaces in it (reported by Sebastian Koenig).
- renaming bones wouldn't update inactive 3d views locked bone names.
- selecting locked bones in the UI didnt work in editmode.
- Zkey to switch shading was pushing undo's.
- Wkey to interactively edit camera, lamp settings wasnt doing an undo push when it should.
- Toggling settings (such as bone boolean options) now skips an undo push if there are no items selected.
infact this is not really a bug, irrespective zero vertex group weights gave overlapping geometry which isn't useful, add an option to set the thickness factor for zero weighted verts.
- add change data operator to strip panel next to image file properties since editing every image manually isnt really usable.
- added new sequencer operator "Clear Offsets" (Alt+O), useful to reset the start/end frames around the strip data.
* Code cleanup in the space_*.py files.
* Removed layout.column() statement in _MT_ panels, they are useless.
* Only define variables at the beginning of a function!
- building with GHOST/SDL now adds the PREFIX
- image.external_edit operator errors out if the filepath isnt set (was annoying and loaded gimp while running tests)
Diff Keymaps
User edited keymaps now no longer override the builtin keymaps entirely, but
rather save only the difference and reapply those changes. This means they can
stay better in sync when the builtin keymaps change. The diff/patch algorithm
is not perfect, but better for the common case where only a few items are changed
rather than entire keymaps The main weakness is that if a builtin keymap item
changes, user modification of that item may need to be redone in some cases.
Keymap Editor
The most noticeable change here is that there is no longer an "Edit" button for
keymaps, all are editable immediately, but a "Restore" buttons shows for keymaps
and items that have been edited. Shortcuts for addons can also be edited in the
keymap editor.
Addons
Addons now should only modify the new addon keyconfiguration, the keymap items
there will be added to the builtin ones for handling events, and not get lost
when starting new files. Example code of register/unregister:
km = wm.keyconfigs.addon.keymaps.new("3D View", space_type="VIEW_3D")
km.keymap_items.new('my.operator', 'ESC', 'PRESS')
km = wm.keyconfigs.addon.keymaps["3D View"]
km.keymap_items.remove(km.keymap_items["my.operator"])
Compatibility
The changes made are not forward compatible, i.e. if you save user preferences
with newer versions, older versions will not have key configuration changes that
were made.
This is for bug #28141
While not really a bug, it makes it a lot easyer to use if it
has the exension. (Isn't hidden from the user when they try to load it...)
