regarding issues in the report
1) fixed in previous commit.
2) intentional leaving as is.
3) left 'handle size' as is IMHO acceptably general, edited 'hotshop' tooltip/
4) corrected default values.
- enable manipulator option, applies to new 3d views (not sure why it was disabled) - reported in [#27664]
- remove rigify and netrender scene ID properties
- set console scrollback to 256, was 128 which could sometimes cut off output of help()
- enabled syntax highlighting and line number in the text editor for game logic and python screens
* Added vertex weight painting.
* Added dissolve/fade setting for every surface type.
* Restored image format and displace type selection for image sequences.
* Fixed a possible crash when OpenMP enabled.
* Attempt to fix surface rna paths.
* Fixed compile warnings.
* Image sequence anti-aliasing works again.
* Vertex color viewport preview now works with GLSL and textured view modes too.
* Added a new "inverse" setting for "volume + proximity" brush. With it brush only has effect within volume but effect is lower near the mesh surface.
- add support for IDProp array slicing, but not resizing.
- rename array attribute type to typecode and use chars 'f', 'd', 'i' which match pythons array module. (was using int's which only have a meaning internally).
- rename function 'convert_to_pyobject' to 'to_dict' and 'to_list' for IDProp group and array types respectively.
- remove 'len' array attribute, calling len(array) is fine.
(an if statement surrounding Multi-Paint still checks the lock flags to see if it should bother changing anything)
Also, I changed lock's redistribution method so that if there was no enough space
on other unlocked groups, it tries to keep the new weights' ratios to each other
Committed changes from previous weeks, biggest changes are:
* Canvas can now have multiple "surfaces" that each can have specific format, type and settings.
* Renewed UI to support this new system.
* Aside from old "image sequence" output format, Dynamic Paint can now work on vertex level as well. Currently vertex paint and displace are supported.
* Integrated vertex level painting with Point Cache.
* Added viewport preview for Point Cache surfaces.
Due to massive amount of changes, old Dynamic Paint saves are no longer supported. Also some features are temporarily missing or may not work properly.
