* Loading old (2.4x) files with keyframes now inits them properly so that keyframes are tagged as normal keyframes not breakdowns
* TrackTo consraint was flagged wrongly for adding it with a target. This meant that the target didn't get set when using the Ctrl-Shift-C hotkey.
(http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderDev/Blender2.5/Todo/UserInterface)
* Removed panel docking. "It is too easy to do by accident when reordering panels, is very hard to control and use, and has no real benefit."
* Scoll bars have minimum size now, so that the 'thumb' doesn't disappear in long lists.
- access with the F key, Ctrl+Alt+F in editmode, View->Navigation menu
- camera, perspective & 4split (perspective view only)
- uses modal keymap, (same as 2.4x).
- bugfix since 2.4x, when flying upside down, turning left/right was inverted.
- bugfix for "Align Camera To View", was using deprecated v3d->ofs rather then rv3d->ofs, fixed for NDof fly too. checked v3d->ofs is only used in readfile.c
Todo
- Warping the cursor removed in 2.5, no way to place the cursor in the middle of the view.
- Adding keyframes while in flymode to record the path is missing.
- Not getting MMB mouse release events (used for pan). need to look into why.
* Vertex Groups list now has a more normal length (2 rows by default)
* Copy vertex groups button now has an icon
* Pose Sliding tools now allow events which it doesn't process to pass through (i.e. zooming the view now works, and also moving around using the numpad works too)
[#8358] Performance regression with raytraced refraction
Now shadows are only sampled once in reflections/refractions. For cases where this would be a problem (perfect specular reflection/refraction), the full OSA takes care of it.
- Use CTX_data_main(C) over G.main
- no need to define object_type_items inline.
- rna_mesh.c - dynamic length array was commented out, not sure why this was needed. Povray and PLY scripts rely on faces having 3/4 verts rather then checking the 4th index is 0 (ok in C, not nice in py).
* copied I/O scripts
* copied, modified rna_*_api.c and rna_*.c
I/O scripts not working yet due to slight BPY differences and RNA changes. Will fix them later.
Not merged changes:
* C unit testing integration, because it is clumsy
* scons cross-compiling, can be merged easily later
- Commands from the history wont get modified in-place when you cycle back and re-use them.
- Ctrl Left/Right skip words.
- Autocompletion on a variable that has no alternatives adds a '.'
'bpy' -> 'bpy.', generally more useful since autocomp again will give the members of bpy
also moved text_check_* functions into BKE_text.h for the console to access.
* delta-transforms for objects should work again. These were basically extra transforms that could get added on top of the values calculated from animation values.
* Added some skeleton code for fixing paths when some data needs to be renamed.
- rename WM_OT_ten_timer to WM_OT_redraw_timer
- added iterations argument to run more then 10 times (10 is default still)
- use report api rather then always calling a popup directly.
- added a new test that draws every region without swapping.
- dont show the info popup when operators are called from python.
- operators called from python now print reports, useful with the interactive console.
eg.
>>> bpy.ops.wm.redraw_timer(type='DRAW_WIN', iterations=300)
Info: 300 x Draw Window: 4168.56 ms, average: 13.8952
% sign for percentage assuming it is between 0-100, while factor is
for values 0-1.
Move collision setting absorption from modifier to collision settings,
was inconsistent to have it there as the only one, and made it have
range 0.0-1.0 instead of 0-100.
* Wrapped Color Key and Blur Node.
* Nodes using RNA properties can be animated. You can now choose if the Nodes Window should be updated while animation playback too. (Timeline>Playback Menu)
text editor creates squares on some systems. Based on info from
Martin, it appears the keymodifier is being set when it shouldn't.
I think this is happening become some systems may be generating
KM_PRESS events without a matching KM_RELEASE?
Also ignore ascii values 1-32 now instead of 14-32, not sure why
they were included now in 2.5 because they were not in 2.4, but
I don't see a reason to do it. This fixes squares when pressing
e.g. ctrl+b or ctrl+n.
* Extremes are shown as red/pink diamonds
* I've changed the order of extremes and breakdowns in the code to make for nicer sizing/ordering. This might break a couple of files out there, but it shouldn't be too many.
TODO:
Still on my todo is to make these tags more useful (i.e. less likely to be overwritten by keyframing)
for now set the sys.stdin to None, this gives an error on input() or help() but better then locking up blender.
Would be nice to support for the blender console to be used as a stdin but this isnt so simple.
also quiet some warnings.
* Path Constraint option (i.e. this creates a follow-path constraint but doesn't actually parent the object to the curve) works now. Fixed a crash here too.
* Follow Path option (i.e. parent the object to the curve, and follow it), is not working correctly yet. Some matrix seems to get set wrongly.
Tested in X11 where its fairly confusing.
buttons 4 and 5 are used for the wheel which is well known, but it seems 6 and 7 are used for horizontal scrolling, my mouse assigns the extra 2 buttons to events 8 & 9.
So the X11 events used for buttons called 4&5 in blender are 8&9 in X11.
The mouse buttons can be re-ordered like this once xorg starts (swaps 6,7 with 8,9)
xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 4 5 8 9 6 7"
Couldn't test Win32, Apple not supported.
If someone wants to add horizontal scrolling its quite easy.
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderDev/Blender2.5/Unix_FHS
for scons WITH_BF_FHS enabled an alternative layout eg.
scons WITH_BF_FHS=1 BF_INSTALLDIR="/usr/local"
for CMake just run "make install" after make (CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX is used for the base path)
Currently only scripts use both the system and user path correctly, other areas of blender have their own path code inline with lots of ifdefs, needs to be carefully updated.
It was getting very annoying, hitting it by accident and having the region disappear. Now, you can still hide the region by resizing it down to zero, or by using the hotkeys (i.e. N, or T in the 3D View).
Perhaps this minimising would be better done in a RMB menu on sub-regions (i.e. like previous Header: top/bottom/hide stuff)
