===========================
- Disallow moving pattern/search area in way when marker position is
outside of pattern area.
- MoiveClip could be set as background for 3D view.
Added background source property to BGPic to switch between image
and movie. Movie is a bit more complicaated entity than clip (due to
displaying bundles, test objects and so) that's why i've sliptted
background into two sources.
- Added Layout.template_movieclip to display general clip settings.
Used in Footage panel of SpaceClip and background image properties
in 3d view.
- Display bundles in 3D view as spheres. Selection is synchronized to
markers associated with this bundle.
Bundle can't be selected in 3D view.
- Recoded internal DNA structures, RNA and operators to match libmv entities.
Tracking data now consists of Tracks, each tracks consists of markers
which are associated with frame number. Markers holds position only,
pattern and search areas settings are stored in track. Such settings should
be unified for all markers in track and marker should hold position and
frame number only.
blocks via PyAPI/RNA
For example:
ob = bpy.context.active_object # assumes default cube has some drivers
added already before running script
dst = bpy.data.objects["Camera"]
adt = dst.animation_data_create()
for driver in ob.animation_data.drivers:
new_driver = adt.drivers.from_existing(driver)
Actions now get tagged with an ID-code, which is used to determine
what ID-blocks they can be assigned to. This ensures that material
actions cannot be assigned to the object-level for example.
* Action lists in general will now show only the actions that can be
set for that particular slot. This prevents selection of invalid
actions, and helps cut down the list of actions.
** An exception here is the Add Action Clip in NLA Editor, which will
show all actions but will only add where appropriate. This is because
it's not easy/possible to tell in advance which blocktypes to filter
for when building this list. (TODO?)
* The "Action Editor" is now strictly for object-level action
editing+setting now. This avoids repeateded confusion by people who
try using this to view their shapekey actions, which should go to the
Shape Key Editor instead!
** A context switcher for the legitimate times where this capability
might come in handy is still being investigated.
* "Floating" actions (i.e. actions in some action_library.blend) are
NOT able to be automatically tagged until they are assigned to some
datablocks (i.e. loaded onto the rig + played back once). It is
possible to write scripts that check for certain RNA-paths and "guess"
what datablocks they work on, but it is recommended that you load up
the Datablocks Viewer, and go through such actions by hand, setting
the "ID Root Type" property as appropriate per action.
Missing null check for "improper" driver variables.
------
Also, this commit includes some WIP NLA evaluation reshuffling which
should be harmless. I had originally intended this for a later
commit...
- use NULL rather then 0 where possible (makes code & function calls more readable IMHO).
- set static variables and functions (exposed some unused vars/funcs).
- use func(void) rather then func() for definitions.

This commit fixes the original bug reported here by adding some
methods to move the relevant F-Curves (and drivers) over to the new
Node-Tree's (i.e. group-node) AnimData. Animated nodes which
subsequently get grouped will still be able to animate as a result of
this commit.
TODO's:
- Ungrouping now will not yet merge the animation back (or at least
copy it)
- Buttons for nodes freshly grouped do not correctly show animated
status indicators for some reason, yet normal animation does
Some AnimData looping functions were not updated to take into account
the addition of AnimData for some additional datatypes (i.e. meshes
and lattices) as well as the changes to make nested nodetrees (i.e.
for Material and Texture nodes).
This allows manual (point by point) animation of their control verts,
although many other settings cannot really be animated with any
visible effects yet. Interestingly, lattices also had IPO block
pointers, though they were never really used (AFAIK).
Todo:
- Animation Editor support has yet to be added. I've got a few other
things to add to, so will group those changes together.
Binding code had off-by-1 error, which meant that when "Even Divisions" was disabled the length of the wrong bone would get used.
This error was most noticeable when the lengths of the bones were quite different - for example, a chain with 3 bones of increasing length. Thanks to "Julius" on BlenderArtists for catching this. Cheers!
---
Also, simplified the binding code loop a bit to prevent this sort of error in future.
Playback now works. The problem was that material/texture nodetrees were getting ignored completely, as I was assuming that all of these existed in the main->nodetree collection when in fact only the "group" nodetrees lived there. I don't really agree with this, but that's the way it is...
TODO: animation editor support still to come
- use sizeof() in more places.
- fixed some off by 1 bugs copying strings. setting curve font family for instance was 1 char too short.
- replace strncpy and strcpy with BLI_strncpy
Now the active strip doesn't just get cleared on fileload, but is relinked properly.
I had originally intended that files shouldn't be able to be saved with NLA data still in Tweakmode, but this turns out to be a bit more troublesome to get working as that would make undo keep popping out of this mode too.
Also reverting 32743 (bugfix for 24418), which was a hack around this.
After discussions with Campbell regarding #24336 and #24309, we've decided to make this property for curves to only get set when an F-Curve explicitly animates it.
As a consequence...
- ALL OLD FILES using follow-path constraints that depended on this changed behaviour will currently need manual patching to add an appropriate F-Curve
- Ctrl-P (Parenting to Curves -> Follow Path option) will now automatically create such F-Curves mimicking the old behaviour so that creating camera-following-path setups still works smoothly.
- Directly adding a Follow Path constraint bypasses this, so you'll need to manually add such F-Curves if you need them.
The main problem with the old approach was that there were many cases in which curve data could get added but the ctime would be incorrect until a frame change (i.e. on render) flushed this.
When editing an action used by a NLA strip and editing it 'in place' (controlled by pin icon on green 'tweaking' channel), the animation would only get played back in the action's original frame range while the keyframes were still displayed in the strip-altered positions.
This commit clarifies the somewhat "murky" separation between "builtin" and "absolute" KeyingSets as a result of discussions with Cessen.
* "Builtin" Keying Sets are now just the Keying Sets which in the past have been known as PyKeyingSets or Relative KeyingSets. These are registered from Py Scripts at startup, and will use the context info to determine what data they should be keyframing. These are stored per Blender session, independent of files, since usually these will be coded specific to sets of rigs used at a studio.
* "Absolute" Keying Sets are the ones that you can create from the Scene buttons and/or KKEY or RMB over any property. They specify the exact set of properties which should always get keyframed together. These are stored in the scene.
In relation to this, I've made it possible to now set one of the builtin Keying Set types as the active Keying Set.
* For now, this can only be done via the box beside the insert/delete key operator buttons on the TimeLine header (now complete with an recycled icon - HINT TO ICON DESIGNERS, to make this a bit more obvious). Later on I'll commit an operator to set this via a hotkey.
* The "IKEY" menu will only show up when there is no active Keying Set. When there is one, keying will happen silently (with info notice at the top of the screen). Later on, I'll hook this menu up to a hotkey, so that that active Keying Set can be changed without inserting keyframes or clearing active Keying Set...
* By default, there isn't any default Keying Set enabled. IMO, this is probably a good default, though some might like to have LocRotScale instead.
* I'm not terribly impressed with the search menu for the items being SORTED (and of all things, alphabetically!) currently, since this does break muscle-memory with the menu (and jumbles up order of closely related vs not closely related).
* The Scene buttons for KeyingSets still need some changes to fully cope with users setting builtin KeyingSets as active sometimes. Controls which are useless or shouldn't be used when a builtin set is shown are being shown.
Builtin set registrations have been tweaked a bit:
* Renamed "bl_idname" to "bl_label" for consistency with rest of API. Note that this is the identifier used by Blender internally when searching for the KeyingSet, and is also what the user sees.
* With multiple objects selected, only one of the objects got keyframed. The code which was checking for duplicate paths was wrongly assuming to ignore the ID-block used still.
* Not registering a Keying Set as 'builtin' would crash on startup. I've made all Keying Sets fallback to adding as if they were local for now, but a better solution is coming soon.
* Fixed a typo in RNA function wrappers for the generator callback, since it was looking for the iterator only. This doesn't seem to have caused any problems (thankfully).
After a few days of wrong turns and learning the finer points of RNA-type-subclassing the hard way, this commit finally presents a refactored version of the Keying Sets system (now version 2) based on some requirements from Cessen.

------
The main highlight of this refactor is that relative Keying Sets have now been recoded so that Python callbacks are run to generate the Keying Set's list of paths everytime the Keying Set is used (to insert or delete keyframes), allowing complex heuristics to be used to determine whether a property gets keyframed based on the current context. These checks may include checking on selection status of related entities, or transform locks.
Built-In KeyingSets have also been recoded, and moved from C and out into Python. These are now coded as Relative Keying Sets, and can to some extent serve as basis for adding new relative Keying Sets. However, these have mostly been coded in a slightly 'modular' way which may be confusing for those not so familiar with Python in general. A usable template will be added soon for more general usage.
Keyframing settings (i.e. 'visual', 'needed') can now be specified on a per-path basis now, which is especially useful for Absolute Keying Sets, where control over this is often beneficial.
Most of the places where Auto-Keyframing is performed have been tidied up for consistency. I'm sure quite a few issues still exist there, but these I'll clean up over the next few days.
Added a check in RNA_property_animateable() which checks if the base ID-block can have animation data or not. Screen data currently cannot have animation data, so this solves that problem (where there were non-functional entries there in the menu).
F-Curves now internally store radians again instead of degrees.
- This solves problems with inconsistencies when working with drivers.
- No need to version patch old files, potentially screwing them up. As such, removed the version patching for F-Curves.
- Is better suited to optionally showing radians throughout the UI instead or degrees.
As a result, values are now converted on the fly in the Graph Editor for display and operators that operate on values. I've made the conversion system for this rather general, so that other unit type conversions can also be hooked up with the type conversion backend.
Also, made some tweaks to F-Curve RNA wrapping to make it represent the data better.
TODO:
- Transform code currently still needs to be corrected to work with these changes. Currently moving keyframes for rotation curves will make them change too rapidly vertically when using degrees.
Rotations are now stored internally as radians, while exposing degrees in the UI -
in the graph editor and UI controls. This is done in two areas:
1) Using the unit system to convert RNA data to display as degrees in the UI controls
2) FCurves now use degrees for rotation, so you can edit in the graph editor what
you see in the UI.
All rotation data is consistently accessible in DNA and RNA as radians, degrees are only
used for the UI controls and graph editor.
This commit includes conversions will convert old files (stored data and also fcurve data)
to the new units, hopefully everything should go smoothly!
Part of this also changes a few properties that were hard-coded as degrees before (such
as IK pole angle and brush texture rotation) to also use the same consistent system of
radians (dna/rna) and degrees (ui).
Thanks to Joshua for hints and review here too.
