Inter-mesh snap optimization and fixes.
For larger meshes, tests are made against the bounding box first to speed things up (suggested by Brecht).
Also, verts are accessed through mesh_get_mapped_verts_nors() it can snapped to deformed vertices (only the deformed originals, not new verts for now).
New option "rotate around selection" failed in editmode, when nothing was
selected.
Function calculateCenterMedian() missed that case.
Also added some zero initializing in code.
A check is now performed to see if any markers were deleted before adding an undo-push, so you don't need to CTRL+Z twice to un-delete keys in the Action Editor if you didn't have any markers selected.
* Tablet pressure sensitivity for number field dragging
Many of the number fields in Blender are very sensitive. With this addition,
softer tablet pressure causes the number field dragging to be more precise,
as if you're holding shift, but variable depending on how hard or soft
you're pressing. You can push hard for large adjustments or just lightly
stroke it for fine tuning.
P.S. There was a bug in the tracker regarding tablet support in sculpt mode that
never really got resolved. I don't know if it still exists, but number fields
are a pretty major part of Blender, so just in case this commit causes problems
for you, you can disable it (temporarily, this won't be left in) by changing
rt: to any value other than 0. If anyone has problems, please report them, and
we can get it sorted out properly.
"Copy To Linked" option for VertexGroups copied the vertexgroups of the active mesh to all meshes in the scene, not just the ones that used the same mesh datablock.
Added an option to choose between Catmull-Clark and simple subdivision when adding a level. This setting applies only to how the level is created; any changes to lower levels are still propagated to the top level using Catmull-Clark.
Action Channels can now be collapsed/expanded to show/hide Constraint Channels, lessening clutter. In future, this could (will probably be) expanded to
show the show/hide individual transform channels.
User Notes:
* Expansion is off by default
* NKEY popup now features option to turn expansion on/off
* Changed behaviour of protection a bit - now if an action channel has protection
on, constraint channels under it are also automagically protected
Developer Notes:
* I've gone through doing a lot of whitespace/linebreak tweaking to get the code looking more consistent with itself
* To save typing (and to make it easier to make future revisions), a set of macros
is now used to check for some commonly-checked settings (i.e. selection, visibility,
and protection).
- added replacement BLI_snprintf for snprintf to avoid MSVC specific #defines for snprintf.
- BLI_snprintf also ensures trailing zero, so helps preventing buffer overflows
Option to draw object name in 3d window corner, now also displays for
meshes the (pinned) shape key name.
Threads: warning fix, added (void) for function declaration.
Removed some code that was causing problems and wasn't even needed.
Now, there are no more problems when setting the preview range from the Action Editor when it was displaying an action that was scaled in the NLA.
Preview Range is a useful tool for animating (espcially on longer timelines). It allows you to only run through a limited set of frames to quickly preview the timing of a section of movement without going through the whole timeline. It means you don't have to set/reset start/end frame for rendering everytime you wish to only preview a region of frames.
Hi Ton,
Attached is a patch (I know you've already got lots of them in the tracker ;-) ) for a feature that I've sometimes wanted. It seems that this sort of thing is supported in other packages, but I can't be sure.
Note: I may have left in a few bits and pieces I didn't mean to in the patch (this is off a source tree which had quite a few revisions in it, all of which was experimental)

* 'Ctrl P' in Action/NLA/Timeline sets preview range. Click+drag to form selection-box defining region of frames to preview
* 'Alt P' in Action/NLA/Timeline to clear preview range
* 'Pre' button beside Start/End fields in timeline toggles whether start/end fields refer to scene or preview
* 'Ctrl Rightarrow' and 'Ctrl Leftarrow' jump to start/end of preview region when it is set
* 'S' and 'E' set the start/end frames of preview region when it is set (just like normally) in Timeline only
* In Action/NLA editors, frames out of preview region are now drawn darkened when preview-region is set

Made "Select Grouped" functions and "Select Linked" use BASE_SELECTABLE macro so they wont select objects they shouldent.
Made "Select Grouped" push an undo
Made "Select Grouped" and "Select Linked" only push add an UNDO if they make a change to the selection.
Fix for own bug. "Select Group" -> Hooks option could crash blender if an objetc hook was in another scene.

[ #5850 ] Inverted axis' buttons to Copy Rotation and Copy Location constraints
This patch adds the options to invert the value being copied from each axis of the Copy Rot/Copy Loc constraints.
This commit also includes some slight code sanitization and tool tips cleanup (for the two track constraints, the tool tips were really unuseful).
* When the mouse is over an Action or Constraint Channel, you can now
rename it by pressing NKEY (like for Shapekey channels). You can also set
the 'protection' status for the Action/Constraint channel in this way.
* Removed the double confirmation when deleting Action-Channels. Also,
markers are now not deleted when deleting action channels.
In the past, this was limited to only having 10 items. Now you can set the
number of recently opened files that are remembered (ranging from 0 to 30
items).
Setting for this can be found under 'Auto-Save' in the Info window.
