Example code: http://www.pasteall.org/7332/c.
New API functions: http://www.pasteall.org/7330/c.
Maximum number of dimensions is currently limited to 3, but can be increased arbitrarily if needed.
What this means for ID property access:
* MeshFace.verts - dynamic array, size 3 or 4 depending on MFace.v4
* MeshTextureFace.uv - dynamic, 2-dimensional array, size depends on MFace.v4
* Object.matrix - 2-dimensional array
What this means for functions:
* more intuitive API possibility, for example:
Mesh.add_vertices([(x, y, z), (x, y, z), ...])
Mesh.add_faces([(1, 2, 3), (4, 5, 6), ...])
Python part is not complete yet, e.g. it is possible to:
MeshFace.verts = (1, 2, 3) # even if Mesh.verts is (1, 2, 3, 4) and vice-versa
MeshTextureFace.uv = [(0.0, 0.0)] * 4 # only if a corresponding MFace is a quad
but the following won't work:
MeshTextureFace.uv[3] = (0.0, 0.0) # setting uv[3] modifies MTFace.uv[1][0] instead of MTFace.uv[3]
I hoped for it to resolve the bug of loading sounds with relative paths didn't work, but Main.name isn't set before the sounds are loaded, so the bug resists!
Someone who is into file loading should please fix this!
Instead use __contains__, eg.
if key in gameOb: ...
Mathutils returns from PyMath.cpp were incorrectly using wrapped Mathutils types. Wrapped types should only be used with a callback now.
I'm taking this commit log as an opportunity to also remind people of the existance of doc/blender-scons.txt .
If you're a user reading these commit logs, and you haven't pre-ordered the Durian DVD yet, do so now: http://www.blender3d.org/e-shop/product_info_n.php?products_id=120
Finally in 2.5 branch :)
Still things to do, but will continue working in here. I won't bother
repeating the commit messages from the last year or so, however I've
written up some technical docs to help Ton/Brecht/etc review and find
their way around the code:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:Broken/VolumeRenderingDev
That above page has some known issues and todos listed, but I'm still
interested in bug reports.
Credits for this code:
* Matt Ebb
(with thanks to Red Cartel/ProMotion Studios)
* Raul Fernandez Hernandez (Farsthary) for patches:
o Light cache based multiple scattering approximation
o Initial voxeldata texture code
o Depth Cutoff threshold
* Andre Susano Pinto for BVH range lookup addition
* Trilinear interpolation adapted from pbrt
* Tricubic interpolation from libtricubic
New Actions can now be added again from the Action Editor.
There are no guarantees that this works totally safely yet (reference counting may be quite off), so you've been warned.
Wrapped the Keying Sets API with RNA Functions so that they can now be called from Py-Scripts. This will ultimately be useful for riggers to create Keying Sets which can get loaded up/created for animators to use after importing their rig.
I've created a demo for this, which can be found at:
http://www.pasteall.org/blend/552
Notes:
- Kazanbas, I've had to create a rna_scene_api.c here to hold some of the relevant functions. Hopefully this won't cause you too much pain when you do your next merge from 2.5 to your branch ;)
- I've noticed that there seem to be a few cases mentioned in the demo which don't totally work yet. I'll commit some fixes for those later.
* F-Modifiers on F-Curves can now taken into account when calculating the extents of actions. This is used when there are some NLA strips and some action with some F-Modifiers is being played back on top of those.
* The toggles in the NLA channels list now respect the width of the list instead of using a hardcoded position. This means that clicking on these toggles when the list is resized works again.
* Inserting keyframes now takes into account whether the F-Curve was editable or not.
* Editing keyframes in animation editors now sends proper depsgraph updates instead of just tagging the relevant objects.
Thanks JiriH for reporting these bugs.
*enable non-2^n textrues for all gfx cards which support it.
* try to enhance the visual quality under linux a bit when gfx card doesn't support it (still errors visible)

This also adds the option to duplicate a particle system with an object.
--- description from the patch submission.
This patch includes my latest additions to the Python API developed for my Degree's Project.
It includes:
- Particle
- Vertex group dictionary in doc (to use with setvertexgroup/getvertexgroup)
- Particle.New return psys (not specified in doc)
- Draw As variable and dict
- Strand render toggle
- Object
- psys variable in duplicate
- Material
- Strand render variables
- Texture
- Use colorbands
- Lamp
- Spot buffer type selection
The 'Show Sliders' option for DopeSheet and Graph Editors now works again. When this option is enabled (it is disabled by default), a slider (or combobox) is shown beside the mute/lock toggles for F-Curves. Editing the slider will result in a new keyframe being added on the current frame.
So, for all the (ex)-Maya animators out there, you can now animate in a channelbox-like way. :)
Also in this commit:
* Fixed some warnings in modifier.c from previous commits there
* Fixed some refresh problems with DopeSheet channel list (which were only obvious after adding back the sliders)
* Removed the old/unrestored and nasty slider code used in the past by the Action Editor only.
Made toggle buttons less wide, with less extra space around them
Made number widgets wider to allow larger numbers, such as the current frame field in the timeline.
Patch by Lorenzo Pierfederici (lento). Many thanks!
* Ported some more menus to python (Pose, Particle...)
* Some cleanup and reorganization in the python file to reduce code. :)
* Cleanup of old C buttons code.
Changed the rounding of action buttons. The round style looked pleasing when they were isolated, viewed by themselves, but looked terrible when grouped, or at small sizes with icons as it was often used. The old Filebrowse or Render This Window buttons were examples of how badly they looked with an icon, and the rounding in the tools area made for some weird visual shapes. When combined in groups of widgets, such as the datablock selectors it looked even weirder, because one side of the group would be square and the other would be round, causing some spatial clashes.

Also tweaked the tools sub-area color which stood out as being much brighter than the rest of the UI. When the tools area was open in the default layout, the overall impression was asymmetrical, non-harmonic.
