Ongoing updates to the Blender.Node Python API:
- Changed Blender.Node.node to Blender.Node.Scripted to be more specific and conform to bpython API.
- Added a Blender.Node.Socket type to be used to define node sockets in a PyNode script. Also, socket type is inferred from the value(s) passed in, instead of also being defined by the script author.
- Added attr access to input and output sockets in the __call__ method. Ex: an input socket called 'color' can be accessed as self.input.color now.
These changes break existing pynode scripts, which shouldn't be a problem yet, of course, since we're still finishing this feature for 2.46. The wiki page and sample .blends have already been updated:

Bone Groups are now always copied from the source armature. This does mean that it isn't possible to have 'local' bone groups as for constraints, but it is better than losing bone groups from the original.
Fix for bug #7418: texture ipo's didn't show for textures in node materials.
Fix for part of bug #6758: node materials in other node materials could
miss texture coordinates.
- Alt+click edge loop select.
- Next to Align X/Y, Align Auto which will pick X or Y automatically,
should give the expected result for nearly all cases.
reference black, reference white and gamma.
Added 16 bit TIFF saving.
This needs more work to cleanup code and add 16 bit TIFF reading, but
committing it now so it can be tested.
Compositor:
Muting option to temporary disable/enable nodes.
Hotkey: press M on selection. It toggles.
Note: no menu entry yet, and drawing style could be tweakered...
Finishing off some unfinished business (from the multi-target constraints work), it is now possible to get/set target-space for constraints where this is relevant.
For this to be possible, target-space setting(s) are now always presented as a list of ints, with each int representing the target-space setting for the relevant target.
Constraints C-API note:
get_targets function now needs to return the number of targets the constraint can have
-guide calculation was accessing wrong pointers in hair calculation
-now guides also respect the "apply effectors to children" - button, but not the "stiff" value
-disabled guide calculation for initial hair calculation as it's all done dynamically later
-few useless commented lines cleaned out
but only when the UV's are connected. That fixes some artifacts when
baking and using tangent space normal maps. It does mean increased
memory usage because it now stores 4 tangents per face like UV's,
and increased processing time, but there's no simple way around that.
Also scripts will re-run on undo rather then closing.
This is done by saving and loading the name of the script or textblock of the 'Script' datablock, connected to the ScriptSpace. This way when there is a name but the script dosnt run.
Blender runs the script or text block if available.
- Moved WIN32 code to ghost and added code for other systems.
- Added functions getClipboard(flag), and putClipboard(buffer, flag)
-Flag is used on X11 to request selection buffer or clipboard.
-If any other system uses flag = 1 the function returns doing nothing.
- Changed ctrl +c/v and shift+ctrl + c/v to do the same thing (use the clipboard).
- Changed the menu items (copy, paste) to use the clipboard.
- renderwindow didn't show values of previous buffer correct.
- renderwindow only showed floats and no char values like image editor.
- renderwindow didn't show x,y values.
- image editor didn't show z values.
Patch to fix these problems provided by Rob Hausauer, thanks!
Bevel modifier had several problems. These should be fixed now. The bevel
modifier in editmode cannot have 'apply to cage' checked as the modifier
cannot possibly support mapping. Further, custom data preservation has been
turned off temporarily, but will be added back in soon.
Bevel and bmesh code is in need of some cleanup and fixing.
-Fixed potential crasher in BME_JEKV
-Sped up memory usage of BME_MF
-Removed unused structure members
More to come soon....
* Pointcache now uses the process id to construct the path for unsaved files. (so 2 or more blender's open wont try to read/write the same pointcache)
* Temp pointcache is cleared when existing blender, added BIF_clear_tempfiles() for this. Should also be usedto clear EXR's in the temp dir (TODO), BIF_clear_tempfiles also needs to be added in more places. (On file load for instace)
number of particles/face. Now for > 25 particles/face it switches
to using a QMC hammersley distribution, much faster, for less
jitter still looks a bit better.
