This change introduces a new hysteresis parameter that it will be added
or subtracted to/from the LOD distance to avoid popping when a LOD
object moves close to the LOD transition continuously.
Then, we have the following:
- a new LOD Hysteresis setting per scene (default 10%) which is located
in Scene context --> Level of Detail panel. This scene parameter also
will active/deactive the scene hysteresis.
- and a new LOD Hysteresis setting per object (default 10%) which is
located in Object context --> Levels of Detail panel. The LOD hysteresis
setting per object (if active) will overwrite the hysteresis setting per
scene value.
For the new blends: the hysteresis setting per scene would be active by
default and the per object would be inactive by default.
For the old blends: both hysteresis settings (per scene and per object)
would be inactive by default. A quick way to take advantage of this
feature for old blends would be to activate the hysteresis parameter in
the scene context -> Level of Detail panel

This patch will add a physics constraints replication for group instances
(dupli group).
It also fix crashing when when a group instance is made from a linked
group instance and both are on the active layer.

- Correct logic converting radius to view distance.
- Wasn't taking view-zoom into account converting lens to angle.
- Support framing the selection in the camera bounds (for camera locked views).
Add ED_view3d_radius_to_dist to handles these details.
Quite a few things wrong here:
* Mac did not support EXT_draw_instanced, only ARB_draw_instanced
* Draw instanced did not work unless data came from vertex buffer, which
is second time we see weird things with vertex arrays in mac
* There were a few stupid mistakes by me as well, such as binding to
uniform locations for the wrong shaders (it's a wonder it ever worked
:p)
Is was possible that interface will be refreshed at thesame time
as render engine will start freeing render parts.
Not sure if we can get away without RW mutex here, seems we need
one way of synchronization or another..
Now mask animation is offset to start of strip, instead of staying at frame 1!
Warning: this may break existing files, in case some would be using (hacking around!)
current bad behavior...
Added an utility function which performs vertex split based on the loop
normal so now backing API matches to what's happening in Cycles and BI
in terms of autosplit.

New 'strip' snapping was simply not computed in case of constrained transform, hence init
'0' value was used as frame offset in this case.
This commit reorganizes a bit that snapping, to keep it more 'confined' into `snapSequenceBounds()`
dedicated function. It still needs a minor hack (setting snapping mode to something else than
defualt `SCE_SNAP_MODE_INCREMENT`, to avoid this snapping to be called by contraint code).
Thanks to Antony for review and enhancements.
This fix should be backported to 2.74.
We could likely add much more, but those already covers basic behavior and should be able
to catch most errors when editing this code.
Also added some performances tests as well (timing ghash insert/lookup under heavy loads,
for different kinds of keys).
This patch is the root of the GHash rework, all other diff will be based on it:
Reduce average load from 3.0 to 0.75
----------------------------------
This is the big performance booster part, e.g. makes tracing a dyntopo stroke between 25% and 30% faster.
Not much to say about it, aside that it obviously increase memory footprint (about 25% - 30% too).
Add optional shrinking
----------------------------------
I.e. ghashes/gsets can now shrink their buckets array when you remove enough entries. This remains optional and OFF by default.
Add code to use masking instead of modulo
----------------------------------
Buckets indices are obtained from hashes by “reducing” the hash value into the valid bucket range. This can be done either by bit-masking, or using modulo operation.
The former is quicker, but requires real hashes, while the later is slower (average 10% impact on ghash operations) but can also be used as a 'fake' hashing on raw values, like e.g. indices.
In Blender currently not all ghash usages actually hash their keys, so we stick to modulo for now (masking is ifdef’ed out), we may however investigate the benefits of switching to masking with systematic very basic hashing later…
Add various missing API helpers
----------------------------------
I.e. a way to deep-copy a ghash/gset, and a way to (re-)reserve entries (i.e. manually grow or shrink the ghash after its creation).
Various code refactoring
----------------------------------
* Get rid of the 'hack' regarding ghash size when used as gset (it’s simpler and safer to have two structs defined here, and cast pointers as needed).
* Various re-shuffle and factorization in low-level internal code.
* Some work on hashing helpers, introducing some murmur2a-based hashing too.
Thanks a bunch to Campbell for the extensive review work. :)

A new checkbox "High quality" is provided in camera settings to enable
this. This creates a depth of field that is much closer to the rendered
result and even supports aperture blades in the effect, but it's more
expensive too. There are optimizations to do here since the technique is
very fill rate heavy.
People, be careful, this -can- lock up your screen if depth of field
blurring is too extreme.
Technical details:
This uses geometry shaders + instancing and is an adaptation of
techniques gathered from

TODOs:
* Support dithering to minimize banding.
* Optimize fill rate in geometry shader.
