* That also means you can't really change them and save it before we actually do a do_version.
* Marking the old variables in DNA_world_types.h to be removed.
* Added callback function for some metaball properties:
When some properties (wiresize, threshold, update flags) of metaball are changed, then these properties are copied to all metaballs in the group (all metaballs with same base name). This is important to "share" some properties between metaballs, because polygonisation of metaball is influenced only by properties of base metaball and base metaball can be changed.
* Improved drawing of selected Metaball objects

The term 'Subsurf' was really confusing, because of the similar term Subsurface Scattering, meaning something completely different. Additionally, the prefix 'sub' (meaning 'lower' or 'under'), as well as the word 'surf' (meaning water foam / a water sport) really mean completely different things on their own, making 'subsurf' a terrible abbreviation.
-Removed shadows from most UI items. The shadow settings are unfortunately not really useful, because you can't set them for individual items. There was a lot of black text with black shadows, which really only makes the text look fuzzy. For shadows to improve clarity, they should be the opposite color of the text label, not the same color.
-Tweaked material layout, with clearer grouping in Ray Mirror and Ray Transparency panels.
-Added icons in the texture type menu to signify which textures are procedural and which ones are images, and plugins.
a) fixing domain boundaries
b) fixing flow gui (no more velocity there - taken from particles)
c) Outflow available (deletes smoke from scene)
d) deactivating other noise options for now
e) base for render/preview settings
f) fixing collisions to be working again
This brings back sequencer rendering, moving do_render_seq() into the
pipeline where it belongs.
Things to fix: SCENE-strip rendering and memory cleanup for
SCENE-strips.
Otherwise: enjoy :)
* Tools such as set handle type, etc. were not being called correctly from the menus. There were missing operator-context calls to make sure that the invoke methods would get skipped.
* Hack for loading old files - buttons region for Graph Editor now gets added. Dunno why this didn't work automatically as for NLA despite the two having the same code.
a) take first position lamp into accountn for smoke ligthning (still no realtime shading when you move the lamp - you have to simulate another frame for now)
b) fix front/back "looking throurgh" issue by reordering the billboards
Note: Rna access to softbody point cache is through softbody modifier although the point cache is in softbody settings. This is to make it similar to cloth.
Bugfix: Softbody rna was trying to get "ob->soft->softflag" instead of the correct "ob->softflag".
* Removed redundant color picker panels from the Properties Panel.
* Deleted some old C Buttons Code. (Background Image, Weight Paint, View and the Color pickers.)
* Added missing Particle Mode Buttons into the Toolbar. They need a check if the system is editable or not.
* Pose Mode Panels in Toolbar were not working due to wrong context. Fixed.
* "Pushing down" the action to make a new strip will now make the new strip the 'active' one.
* 'Active Action' field in Animation Data panel is now editable as long as we aren't in "tweakmode"
* Settings for Bones can now be animated properly from UI
* Settings for constraints on bones and objects can now be keyframed properly
* Added missing 'subtarget' property wrapping for StretchTo constraint.
* Added some optimisations to avoid having to try evaluating some data that won't have any effect.
* Converted playback buttons in timeline header to use operators too
* Animated ShapeKey F-Curves/Drivers are now visible in the Animation Editors.
* As a result of this, the old 'ShapeKeys' mode (which would display all the shapekey channels, even if they had no keyframes yet) in the DopeSheet, no longer works for now. However, it would have been of no use as no sliders were shown anyway.
* Drivers which depended on the rotation of bones now work again. These now point to the right RNA properties, and get some extra 'time' corrections (for degrees -> radians change).
Define the env var BLENDER_FORCE_SWAPBUFFERS to enable (1, yes, oui, the
value does not matter, code just checks for existence).
The issue seems to happen with Intel and Radeon, but enabling myswapbuffers()
hack solves it (or reduces to just flicker) for now.

Reported by Philippe Van Hecke.
* Separated value and range sliders for the value into two separate rows. Value comes before the range settings since it's used more often, and is drawn as a slider instead.
* Tweaked ranges for the sliders so that they will work sanely.
* New NLA Tracks/Strips are now only created if the 'layered' button (visible in the timeline header when autokeying is on, and the playback is running) is enabled. This multiple bones to be able to be animated in the same action, but done in multiple passes.
* Made Alt-A work in timeline header too.
* When doing realtime recording of animation (i.e. transforming objects + bones while animation playback is running, and auto-keying is enabled), animation will be added to a new NLA Track+Strip combo everytime a single 'loop' of the frame range has finished. This will allow 'passes' over the animation to be less destructive.
* Made the evaluation of the active action (when NLA data is present), be handled as part of the normal NLA system evaluation code (as if it were just another strip in a track at the end). The immediate benefit is that there are now some settings (available in the "Animation Data" panel in the NLA Editor with a strip selected) which allow for the way the active action is combined with the NLA stack results. For instance, the way that the action extrapolates is used in the recording tweaks above.
