Much wanted feature, to have paths with children having fixed distance
offsets from each other, for example to animate a train with wagons.
Solved it with Path option (Editing buttons curve) "PathDist Offs" which
interprets time-offsets of children as blender-unit offsets. The entire
animation system still works, but offsets are calculated based on distance,
even with a CurvePath without motion (speed curve horizontal).

Thanks to Bassam for kicking my ass!
- applied Campbell Barton's patch for access to Oops location and selection of materials, mesh data and objects, slightly modified. Thanks, Campbell;
- got rid of warnings in many files, hopefully not introducing any other during the process. Mostly this was done: 1) new EXPP_incr_ret_True/False functions were added and used instead of "Py_INCREF(Py_True/False); return Py_True/False;". Currently at least the functions use the fact that PyTrue/False == 1/0 and use 1 and 0 to avoid the warnings. 2) Filling of certain types structs got 0's added for all not defined data and methods. This is surely Python version specific, since these structs can change size and content at each major version number Python update.
- NMesh: made nmesh.update accept an optional 'vertex_shade' param to init vcols with shading info, like when you enter vpaint mode or press the relevant "make" button for a mesh without vcols. This is still a test, the functionality was requested by Manuel Bastioni for the SSS script they are working on:
http://www.dedalo-3d.com/index.php?filename=SXCOL/makehuman/articles/subsurface_scattering_in_python.html
- sys: made makename() accept files with max FILE_MAXDIR+FILE_MAXFILE name length, should fix#2192. Was only FILE_MAXFILE, a mistake;
- Image: added .setFilename(), contributed by Campbell Barton;
- Camera: added camera.get/setScale for the new param added by Ton for ortho cameras. Requested by Jean-Michel Soler for the Texture Baker script;
- related doc updates.
Another fix related to improved preview drawing (shade context buttons),
it didn't update glViewPort and glScissor correctly, causing the buttons
next to the preview-rect not to be offset win the window matrix anymore.
- NMesh: added face.sel and face.hide attributes to NMFaces, to set / get selection and visibility state of faces as they appear in edit mode.
- doc updates, including the right fix to two edge related methods, thanks to Stephane Soppera for pointing it (my fault, Stephane).
- Fix related to bug #2157: crash in Blender.Image.image.reload() method. "G.sima" was not being checked for validity. Fix by Joilnen B. Leite (pidhash). Thanks!

- Added optional argument to Blender.Object.object.getData() method: getData(only_name = True) or (only_name = 1) or (1) will return only the obdata name, not a wrapper for the given struct. This is a test based on a request by Campbell Barton who submitted code for his proposed .getDataName() method (thanks!).
- doc updates and small fixes.
#2187: Append to active layer now uses the real active layer
#2191: Stars didnt show up correctly in envmap render
#2194: Startfame > Endframe in anim render crashed (now it gives error)
After using clip-safe pixeldraw from glutil.c (preview render, bg picture)
the current viewport had to be re-set. Not doing so caused a 1 pixel offset
for live updates buttons (on mouse over)
It used to be a simple hack, scaling lens with 100, and moving the camera
to the back with an equivalent amount.
Because of the hack, making it 100% compatible with older files I could not
achieve (yet?). To help reminding users, I've added a print when reading
old files with Ortho cameras.
Full description of how it works can be found here;

non-manifold. If you want it so all three modifiers are needed
(e.g. ctrl-alt-shift-MKEY) use:
if ( !(~G.qual & (LR_SHIFTKEY | LR_ALTKEY | LR_CTRLKEY)) )
instead of
if ( G.qual & (LR_SHIFTKEY | LR_ALTKEY | LR_CTRLKEY) )
(which really allows any modifier, alone or in combination, to work).
- Stephane Soppera added long missed support for edge data in Blender.NMesh + related doc;
- Michael Reimpell improved script registration (fixes bug report #2160) and the file and image selectors in Blender.Window (improved with suggestions from Yann Vernier). They now suppport methods as callbacks;
- World.get/setMode were not registered, so could not be directly called (reported by Ken Hughes). Still needs some work to improve things, including docs.
Scripts:
- Jean-Michel Soler updated his texture baker based on input from Appolux;
- Campbell and Jean-Michel improved the bvh importer: faster, better float units scaling (by Campbell); supports Poser 3.01 files (by jms).
Thanks guys!
Basically the deal was on the last fix (multiple opens/closes to a filehandle)
I changed the return values to match other image formats 0=fail and 1 = good
(was 1=fail 0=good before)
I Didn't update the animation code to see this so it was
thinking the first frame failed because it was looking for the old return code.

Set preferred method in userprefs->language & font.
Kinda requested by Kaito, i'm sure he regrets after seeing
my code changes.
This commit includes a patch provided by Jacques Baurain,
which seemed nescessary to handle font sizing properly.
Thank you !
Removed it in OSA from special thread loop now, making it unthreaded but
render OK. Main reason; subpixel-based adding with gauss doent work
for halos yet.
Unified render does that though, but result is just filter, no real
subpixel.
Basically removed #include <iostream.h>
from some files that didn't need it (and I'm assuming it caused problems)
I'll leave the scons stuff for someone else to look at since I don't really
use it.

If this change causes problems, feel free to back it out.
I am trying to get gcc to complain about mixed declarations and
code since that breaks on platforms that only support C89/C90.
Using File->Save Image menu didn't work while Stars were drawn... the used
method to save an image (mainqenter F3 key) is a bit awkward anyway, so
replaced with proper BIF_xxx call.
Reason for mainqenter not to work was RE_draw_stars() function calling
a blender_test_break(), swallowing queue events. Very bad and need review.
Small tweak in previewrender; preview type Cube now displays texture
coordinates better (it showed a bit too much)
