* Autoside renaming tools in EditMode for armatures now works again. (Wrong property name)
* Action used by NLA Strips can now be chosen/changed to another action
* Grease Pencil datablocks can now be properly browsed/added/unlinked from the UI panels
* Made Grease Pencil use the brush icon for now. A proper icon for this would be nice ;)
* Modifiers for Lattices now get shown again
* Auto IK and X-Axis Mirror options are now visible again in Armatures UI. Their placement isn't ideal yet, and they also need some proper poll-based visibility adjustments
* F-Modifiers now correctly update the keyframes view after their settings are modified
This commit is the start of an implementation of (euler) rotation orders for Bones (later to be extended to Objects too).
Technical details and references can be found at:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:Aligorith/EulerRotationOrder
In short, I've added a new set of Euler conversion functions (EulO... and ...EulO), coexisting with the old functions for now, which can handle different rotation orders.
Changes have only been made to the basic evaluation code. However, the following places will still need modifications:
* Transform code - needs to be made to use functions which take rotation order into account instead of using XYZ only
* Rotation constraints - same story
* Other rotation editing tools for armatures also need a check up, since there might have been some missing code when I ported eulers earlier
* Updated UserDef RNA so that only compiled in audio drivers are displayed. (Missing definitions in Makefiles, someone fix please!)
* Fixed libsndfile and ffmpeg building with CMake with msvc.
* Restored option to have strokes aligned to screen space. By default, this is not enabled (the setting for view-space is the default instead).
* Fixed bugs related to drawing/erasing in screen space.
* Making single dots should be possible again.
* Wrapped the debug option, 'Show Points', for layers, which makes all the points on the layer get drawn with dots indicating positions of stroke points.
- mesh face properties that have no data are tested for length.
- the rawtype of MFace.verts is not set, defaulting to CHAR, meaning only verts with 256 verts could be added from python. temp workaround by making PROP_RAW_INT the first in the enum. For some reason makesrna.c doesn't set the raw type MFace.verts at all.
- Baked point caches for particles, cloth and softbody can now be edited in particle mode.
* This overwrites the old cloth/sb cache editmode editing.
* The type of editable system is chosen from a menu.
* For particles the current particle system and it's current cache are used.
- Currently this only works for caches that are in memory, but some automatic conversion from disk to memory and back can be implemented later.
- All tools from hair editing can't be applied to point caches and are hidden in the tool panel and specials menu. Some functionality like subdividing paths can be later implemented in a slightly different way from how it works for hair.
- Code is not yet optimized for speed, so editing might be slow sometimes.
Known issues:
- Cloth doesn't update properly while in particle mode, due to the way cloth modifier currently works. Daniel can you check on this?
- As "particle mode" is not only for particles any more some other name would be in place?
- Better icons are needed for the path, point, and tip-modes as the current icons from mesh edit mode are quite misleading.
- Direct editing of point velocities is not yet implemented, but will be in the future.
Other changes:
- Hair editing doesn't require a "make editable" button press any more.
- Multiple caches in single particle system disables changing emission properties.
- Unified ui code for all point cache panels.
* Defined in buttons_particle.py and imported for cloth, smoke & softbody.
- Proper disabling of properties in ui after baking point caches. (Daniel could you please make needed disable code for smoke panels as their functionality is not familiar to me.)
- Hair weight brush has been removed. Once hair dynamics is re-implemented I'll code a more useable alternative to the functionality.
Bug fixes:
- Unlinking particle settings crashed.
- Deleting the active object with particles in the scene crashed.
- Softbody didn't write point caches correctly on save.
renamed RNA properties.
x_offset, y_offset -> offset_x, offset_y, this order is more common in rna.
render.border -> render.use_border
render.placeholders -> render.use_placeholder
render.no_overwrite -> render.use_overwrite
Again, please try not to break scripts - at least grep the release dir for the names you change.
- rna material property rename
gloss_amount -> gloss_factor, since its from 0.0 to 1.0, prefix factor is used on other material settings.
reflectivity -> reflect_factor
* Shuffled some code around, and renamed some functions used for getting context info
- Split UI-buttons into a separate file from stroke-drawing code
- Removed some obsolete code (i.e. old paint code that used to be in _edit, but which has been moved to _paint).
* Made drawing in 3D-View default to using the active object as the owner of the Grease Pencil data. For now, the drawing code will therefore only show the GP data for the active object only. More work to come on this.
* Fixed freeing code for Objects/Scenes with GP data.
Also ported some name changes from the materials UI script to RNA to keep these consistent. Animation editors always show the RNA name after all, so it's good to keep the names similar.
* Wrapped Grease Pencil datatypes in RNA.
* Hooked up Grease Pencil access in RNA (i.e. via Main, ID, and Scene)
TODO:
Updates to properties are currently lacking property-update calls, since there's no good notifier for this.
Also, made the Outliner's horizontal scrollbar work better for keymaps view. It's still using an approximation of the width, but at least you can scroll now.
Example code: http://www.pasteall.org/7332/c.
New API functions: http://www.pasteall.org/7330/c.
Maximum number of dimensions is currently limited to 3, but can be increased arbitrarily if needed.
What this means for ID property access:
* MeshFace.verts - dynamic array, size 3 or 4 depending on MFace.v4
* MeshTextureFace.uv - dynamic, 2-dimensional array, size depends on MFace.v4
* Object.matrix - 2-dimensional array
What this means for functions:
* more intuitive API possibility, for example:
Mesh.add_vertices([(x, y, z), (x, y, z), ...])
Mesh.add_faces([(1, 2, 3), (4, 5, 6), ...])
Python part is not complete yet, e.g. it is possible to:
MeshFace.verts = (1, 2, 3) # even if Mesh.verts is (1, 2, 3, 4) and vice-versa
MeshTextureFace.uv = [(0.0, 0.0)] * 4 # only if a corresponding MFace is a quad
but the following won't work:
MeshTextureFace.uv[3] = (0.0, 0.0) # setting uv[3] modifies MTFace.uv[1][0] instead of MTFace.uv[3]
Finally in 2.5 branch :)
Still things to do, but will continue working in here. I won't bother
repeating the commit messages from the last year or so, however I've
written up some technical docs to help Ton/Brecht/etc review and find
their way around the code:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:Broken/VolumeRenderingDev
That above page has some known issues and todos listed, but I'm still
interested in bug reports.

Wrapped the Keying Sets API with RNA Functions so that they can now be called from Py-Scripts. This will ultimately be useful for riggers to create Keying Sets which can get loaded up/created for animators to use after importing their rig.
I've created a demo for this, which can be found at:
http://www.pasteall.org/blend/552
Notes:
- Kazanbas, I've had to create a rna_scene_api.c here to hold some of the relevant functions. Hopefully this won't cause you too much pain when you do your next merge from 2.5 to your branch ;)
- I've noticed that there seem to be a few cases mentioned in the demo which don't totally work yet. I'll commit some fixes for those later.
The 'Show Sliders' option for DopeSheet and Graph Editors now works again. When this option is enabled (it is disabled by default), a slider (or combobox) is shown beside the mute/lock toggles for F-Curves. Editing the slider will result in a new keyframe being added on the current frame.
So, for all the (ex)-Maya animators out there, you can now animate in a channelbox-like way. :)
Also in this commit:
* Fixed some warnings in modifier.c from previous commits there
* Fixed some refresh problems with DopeSheet channel list (which were only obvious after adding back the sliders)
* Removed the old/unrestored and nasty slider code used in the past by the Action Editor only.
Patch by Lorenzo Pierfederici (lento). Many thanks!
* Ported some more menus to python (Pose, Particle...)
* Some cleanup and reorganization in the python file to reduce code. :)
* Cleanup of old C buttons code.
Changed the rounding of action buttons. The round style looked pleasing when they were isolated, viewed by themselves, but looked terrible when grouped, or at small sizes with icons as it was often used. The old Filebrowse or Render This Window buttons were examples of how badly they looked with an icon, and the rounding in the tools area made for some weird visual shapes. When combined in groups of widgets, such as the datablock selectors it looked even weirder, because one side of the group would be square and the other would be round, causing some spatial clashes.

Also tweaked the tools sub-area color which stood out as being much brighter than the rest of the UI. When the tools area was open in the default layout, the overall impression was asymmetrical, non-harmonic.
This solves one of the last remaining hurdles for
volume rendering. Previously it always used ray
tracing to shade other objects inside or behind the
volume. This meant that said objects would look
aliased, unless you used Full OSA on the volume
(which is slow!). As well as this, it meant that you didn't
get a good alpha channel out of the volume to use for
compositing, similar to ray refracting materials.
This commit enables z transparency for volume
materials. Although it can be potentially less
physically correct, in most situations there's no
difference, and you get the benefit of nice sampling for
other objects and an alpha channel for compositing too.
when passing properties=True as argument.
Other changes:
* uiItemR, uiItemFullR, uiItemFullO now accept a flag argument rather
than multiple different "boolean" arguments, but still exposed as
booleans to python.
* Fix RNA to support setting PROP_RNAPTR for return values.
Made Hook Modifier be able to use bone targets. However, I haven't been able to verify that everything will work perfectly, since just creating a new Hook Modifier and assigning targets doesn't set hmd->indexar correctly.
* Popup menus now remember the last clicked item again.
* Modifier and File Format menus are now organized in multiple
columns with categories.
* Hook, explode, uv project modifiers have all their buttons
again with the relevant operators implemented.
* Modifiers that can't be added by the user, or don't work on
curves for example, are not in the menu anymore.
* Fix search menu overlapping buttons when near the bottom of
the screen.
* Fix uv layers search menu not working in some modifiers.
* Cleanup popup menu code a bit, layout engine is used in more
cases now instead of ugly position calculation code.
