Adds:
AnimData.nla_tracks.new(prev)
* (optional) prev -- add new track after this track
AnimData.nla_tracks.remove(track)
AnimData.nla_tracks.active(track)
* (optional) track -- track to set active
* returns active track
NlaTrack.strips.new(name, start, action)
NOTE: fails if the strip can't fit in the track as opposed to the
operator which will create a new track and add the strip to that.
* name -- name for new strip
* start -- start frame of new strip
* action -- action to assign to strip
NlaTrack.strips.remove(strip)

I've resolved the issue (noted in the original patch) regarding the
validation of the created strip by creating and using a "dummy
AnimData" block to solve the missing dependencies.
when using the Numpad0 feature to reset properties to their default
values.
While this implementation here is not a full/proper implementation, as
you cannot truly specify a default value for some pointers that may
require something other than NULL (i.e. nothing), this should be good
enough for the vast majority of (editable) cases which are fine if set
to NULL.
This is most noticeable with the Active Keying Set field in the
TimeLine header, where it's now possible to simply use Numpad0 to
clear it instead of using a confusing click+backspace+enter dance to
do the same thing.
That primitives, which used ri crash blender, flips normals just after creation
and this normals flipping calls layers interpolation, but MDISPS layer
contains no data still.
Just added checking to layerInterp_mdisps.
"Show All Layers"). This has been mapped to Ctrl-Accentkey
If necessary, you can alter your keymaps so that this operator is
invoked with its "all" property disabled. This will only toggle the
first row (first 16) layers, which is useful in most rigs for only
enabling all the layers with rig controls and not showing the layers
with rig mechanics.
Raytracing didn't show soft shadow in reflections, nor did it do any
derivative even. Added a basic version for it in raytracer now, still
needs improvement on heavily curved surfaces. But it's better!
Examples:
Glass sphere, mirror cube and sphere, look how it ignores bump and shadow

in svn now:

When pressure was zero, a sculpt brush was still being executed
with step amount divided by zero, and thus entering eternal loop.
Maybe tablet-specific this but I wonder how this never got reported...
it easier to reset a rig to its default pose again
- Refactored clear pose operators to separate out the common parts,
and made sure that they all had descriptions
rotation range clamping used a while loop which would run forever when the value was so big subtracting a full revolution didnt change the value.
Solve by using fmod() and double precision angle.
(rna flags were not available when this was originally written)
action.fcurves.add(frame, val, 1,1,1) --> .add(frame, val, {'REPLACE', 'NEEDED', 'FAST'})
When creating new actions using the "new" button the Action Editor
header databrowse, or the NLA editor's "Animation Data" databrowse,
the existing action will get copied (if it exists) instead of an empty
action getting added everytime.
Apparently this behaviour is very good for being able to "version"
actions within a single .blend file (Bassam?)
that used markers. I might've missed a few still, but at least a few
more cases will work now
- Accidentally broke keyframe selection on group channels in gpencil
commit, after misreading a call name.
This commit restores some basic functionality for retiming Grease
Pencil sketches. Some of the functionality that existed before still
hasn't been restored (namely snap/mirror tools as well as copy+paste),
though it should be possible to use this for basic retiming and
sketch-frame management again.
- There's still a lot of work required to get this up to the standard
of the rest of the animation editor code, as some of this code was
originally just hacked in based on the old-style code.
- Work is already required to not have to directly access the main db
global to get the list of Grease Pencil datablocks to show, but that
can come along with pending cleanups of the filtering code.
Added Ctrl-T to Curves Tilt button in the toolbar (edit mode), currently was reporting Alt-S for tilt
(reported by Rickyx here http://www.kino3d.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=8485&start=0)
Also added the label "Tilt" to the tilt transform in the Curve > Control points header submenu, currently was just "Transform"
- report an error if adding a pose constraint with no active pose channel.
- dont run update_pose_constraint_flags() when adding an object constrant to an armature object.
These were markers which belonged to an action instead of the scene,
and are used by PoseLib to keep track of where poses are.
To restore this, I've made this only available in Action/Shapekey
Editor modes, and only when an action is being shown and the "Show
Pose Markers" option in the Markers menu has been enabled. Other than
that, all the standard marker operators apply now (instead of using a
separate set of special operators).
Old value of 30 px was perhaps a bit too strict, given that scrollbars
took up 16px and that standard icons are 16px, which in total would
have been 32px from the bottom of the region. Having said that, the
marker icons are only about half-size, though it seems that in general
people (can) only aim quite loosely...
* Viscoelastic springs between the fluid particles can simulate all kinds
of viscous and elastic substances, such as jelly and honey. This is
achieved by creating springs dynamically between neighboring particles
and adjusting their rest length based on stretching/compression.
* This nearly completes the currently intended functionality for particle
fluids. The last missing thing is a surfacing extraction algorithm,
which is needed for a proper representation of a sph fluid.
* I also cleaned up and renamed some of the fluid parameters to make the
ui a bit easier to understand.
* One addition to the patch is an option to use "initial rest length" for
the springs, which uses the lengths between the particles at the time of
spring creation as the spring rest lengths instead of interaction radius/2.
This makes the fluid keep it's original shape better (good for very
viscoelastic materials), but can create large density differences inside
the fluid (not really physically correct for a fluid).
* Viscoelastic springs are stored in point cache as extra data.
+ changed lines connecting nodes:
they now use a linewidth of 1.5px for the light foreground and 4px for the dark background.
this should fix node-lines not being visible on almost black or all white backdrops.
+ muted nodes now also show a red tinted header if they are hidden (collapsed)
+ both active and selected nodes show a (now properly antialiased) highlighting frame
+ fixed a small error in dropshadow code resulting in a gap at borders
+ fixed a tiny error for the collapsing indicators (triangles) - they were not symmetrical.
Ton will add proper theme colors for the node-editor in the coming days.
* Not strictly necessary right now, but better for future.
* Struct data (only boids at the moment) is now written as structs (with dna) so they work between 64 and 32 bit machines too.
Actually a minor tweak:
Auto-IK fails on correcting for constrainted bones in chains.
For that reason it stops including constrainted bones for it.
Now it does include constraints with influence zero, or which
were disabled by user input.
