=======================
Caching and Baking:
- The point cache is now cleared on DAG_object_flush_update(), and not cleared for time dependency graph updates.
- There is now a Bake button instead of Protect. Also cache start and end frames were added to softbody and particles.
- The cloth autoprotect feature was removed.
- The Ctrl+B menu now also bakes cloth and particles next to softbody and fluids. Additionally there are now frree bake and free cache menu entries.
- The point cache api has been changed. There is now a PTCacheID struct for each point cache type that can be filled and then used to call the point cache functions.
- PointCache struct was added to DNA and is automatically allocated for each physics type.
- Soft body now supports Bake Editing just like cloth.
- Tried to make the systems deal consistently with time ipo's and offsets. Still not sure it all works correct, but too complicated to solve completely now.
Library Linking:
- Added some more warnings to prevent editing settings on library linked objects.
- Linked objects now read from the cache located next to the original library file, and never write to it. This restores old behavior for softbodies. For local simulation the mesh and not the object should be linked.
- Dupligroups and proxies can't create local point caches at the moment, how to implement that I'm not sure. We probably need a proxy point cache for that to work (ugh).
Physics UI:
- Renamed deflection panel to collision for consistency and reorganized the buttons. Also removed some softbody collision buttons from the softbody panel that were duplicated in this panel for cloth.
- Tweaked field panel buttons to not jump around when changing options.
- Tabbing e.g. Soft Body Collision into the Soft Body panel, it now only shows Collision to make the panel names readable.
- I tried to make enabled/disabling physics more consistent, since all three system did things different. Now the two modifier buttons to enable the modifier for the viewport and rendering are also duplicated in the physics panels. Toggling the Soft Body and Cloth buttons now both remove their modifiers.
- Fixed modifier error drawing glitch.
Particles:
- Particles are now recalculated more often than before. Previously it did partial updates based on the changes, but that doesn't work well with DAG_object_flush_update() ..
- Fixed memory leak loading keyed particle system. Now keys are not written to file anymore but always created after loading.
- Make particle threads work with autothreads.
Continue Physics:
- The timeline play now has a Continue Physics option in the playback menu, which keeps the simulations going without writing them to the cache.
- This doesn't always work that well, some changes are not immediately updated, but this can be improved later. Still it's fun to get a feel for the physics.
Todo:
- Point cache can get out of sync with and undo and changing a file without saving it.
- Change the point cache file format to store a version (so old point cache files can be either converted or at least ignored), and to do correct endian conversion.
- Menu item and/or buttons for Ctrl+B.
- A system("rm ..") was changed to remove() since the former is very slow for clearing point caches. These system() calls were already giving trouble in a bug in the tracker, but really most use of this system("") should be changed and tested.
- The Soft Body Collision and Clot Collision panel titles don't mention there's point cache settings there too, doing that makes them unreadable with the default panel setup.. but may need to make the names longer anyway.
-Handling of fluid particles was not coded at all
-Now things should work properly, but as fluid particles are not very familiar to me I'd appreciate some thorough testing
stuff used for peach to the standard <GL/glu.h>
the mesa stuff was needed for the machines for peach but its
not the stanard location of the headers, now that its not
needed were switching it back.

Initial commit of Separate tool for Armatures. Currently, the functionality is hidden behind a temporary patch, as there are still issues to be worked out (crashes under certain conditions and a re-linking issue). It may remain like this for the release if I can't get it to work correctly.
Note:
- Hotkey for separate is Ctrl-Shift-P (it's a bit clumsy, and isn't consistent with P for separate for meshes, but Select Parent(s) is better as P)
active face drawing didnt always work since it used the last selected element for drawing.
moved stipple into glutil.c rather then using 128 bytes in the stack for each stipple draw.
A lot of fixes for anim_startofs / anim_endofs:
* crashed when striplen was 0 and startstill / endstill still in use
* made it work for Audio (HD and RAM)
* made it work for Image Sequences
* added a new cutting tool, that uses anim_startofs / endofs instead of
startofs / endofs. This is now the default and called "hard cut"
* moved old cutting method to "Shift-K" and renamed it "soft cut"
Fixed a long standing bug in IMB_dupImBuf: refcounter should be better 0
within the duplicated ImBuf...
Finally removed this strange STRIPELEM_META mumbo jumbo.
On a way to asset management: made METAs behave like true input strips:
* proxying should work
* input filter options should work (including transform and color balance :)
* IPOs now work in replace mode
Quick feature for setting Preview Range in Action Editor: the hotkey Ctrl-Alt-P sets the Preview Range so that it matches the extents of the active action.
it is now in a state where it can be safely
merged with trunk.
Note: basic icons were provided but I'm not
an icondesigner and working in a 16x15 grid
is way too small for me, so feel free to
change them.
- Alt+click edge loop select.
- Next to Align X/Y, Align Auto which will pick X or Y automatically,
should give the expected result for nearly all cases.
New rotation alignement fonction
Rotates objects/Pose bones to match the selected transform orientation.
Can be used to align to view, active object (normal) and custom transform orientations.
Accessible in the Object -> Transform submenu and through the hotkey Ctrl-Alt-A (which was previously a fall through for Apply but only Ctrl-A and Ctrl-Shift-A did anything special).
Can be eventually made to work in edit mode (not too hard).
Also scripts will re-run on undo rather then closing.
This is done by saving and loading the name of the script or textblock of the 'Script' datablock, connected to the ScriptSpace. This way when there is a name but the script dosnt run.
Blender runs the script or text block if available.

Also a patch from Markus Schulz that
adds buttons to the material, light, and world texture panels to make it
easy to rearrange the textures in the list without having to
use copy and paste.
* Pointcache now uses the process id to construct the path for unsaved files. (so 2 or more blender's open wont try to read/write the same pointcache)
* Temp pointcache is cleared when existing blender, added BIF_clear_tempfiles() for this. Should also be usedto clear EXR's in the temp dir (TODO), BIF_clear_tempfiles also needs to be added in more places. (On file load for instace)
One problem was that the previous render buffer was stored in the
render window or image window itself, which means that when closing
it, or switching from one to the other, things didn't work as expected.
Also in the image editor, color sampling the previous render buffer or
saving it didn't work correct.
Fixes a lot of small things:
* zoom in/out in preview is more fine grained (use SHIFT)
* zebra scopes don't try to draw the border and fail
* lock/unlock now locks/unlocks all selected strips
* fix redraw problems of panel on lock/unlock
* buttons-panel is redrawn on translate, so that position information is shown
* added lock / hide to Strip-Menu
* fixed small drawing problems in header
TODO: find a good key for lock / unlock (Shift-L | Alt-Shift-L isn't that nice
to press...)
The following is a commit of Levi Schooley's bevel code and
the bmesh library it depends on. The current editmode bevel has
been replaced with a new per edge bevel function. Vertex beveling is
also availible.
To set weights for the modifier to use, use the ctrl-shift-e shortcut on either edges
or vertices.
Recursive beveling is turned of for the time being.
This commit changes the way new nodes are created. Previously nodes were created
at the last location of the mouse cursor before creating a new node. After this
commit the nodes are created at the initial location in which the cursor was
before the menu used to add the node was opened.
This makes it possible for the user to predict where the new node appears without
having to move it to desired location like before. There is no option for this as
this behaviour is clearly superior to previous.
Codewise it uses static variables. This is something to fix during 2.50 rewrite.
Thanks to paprmh for contribution!
* Added a new set of related tools for channel editing (Toggle/Enable/Disable Setting). These are activated using the Shift-W, Ctrl-Shift-W, and Alt-W hotkeys. They allow for setting of the given setting on all selected channels (where it will apply).
* Moved + grouped all the channel-related operations in a new "Channels" menu, located between the "Select" and "Markers" menus. This makes more sense than squeezing the functionality at the end of the "Key" menu!
Merge Normal orientation calculations with Custom Orientations, to make it work the same all accross the table:
- One or more faces: use average face normal (first edge of faces define tangent)
- One edge: use edge itself as normal (vertex normals define tangent)
- One vertex: use vertex normal (tangent is perpendicular to normal and z-axis)
- Two vertices => edge orientation
- Two vertices => face orientation
*I tested quite a bit but please report any bugs this might have caused.*
ADDED FILE WARNING: source/blender/src/transform_orientations.c
CTRL+click on node will not only select it, but also connect the active
viewer to the top output of the node.
To evaluate: make viewing option to have this as a default on select.
Could work nice for collapsed nodes.
* Ctrl-I now swaps the selection status of keyframes/channels depending on where the mouse cursor is located. Ctrl-Shift-I does so for markers.
* (De)selecting channels now clears the 'active' flags too, so there will be no more 'selected' items lingering around even after pressing AKEY
Now it is possible to define a custom colour set per bone group. This allows rigs to look consistent across different computers with different themes. As such, the bone-groups buttons have been reshuffled to present the settings in a better way.
Colour sets are now selected from a menu with descriptive names, instead of using a slider. Choose the 'Custom Set' entry to use a custom set of colours for the active group. The sets of theme colours have been retained, and can be used directly, or as the basis for a new custom colour set (when any one of the colour controls is touched).
For bone-groups that haven't had any custom colour set used yet, a default 'test' set is used. This uses bright versions of the RGB colours.
"Insert Key" menu in Action Editor (IKEY) now has a new option: "In Active Group". This only inserts keyframes in the active action group (if available).
