Now reloading the user defaults also unloads/loads addons, resetting the state to the one set in the user preferences.
moved addon functions into bpy.utils
- bpy.utils.addon_enable(name, default_set=True)
- bpy.utils.addon_disable(name, default_set=True)
- bpy.utils.addon_reset_all(name, default_set=True)
the user preference operators now just wrap these.
netrender client's functions to get slaves and jobs info didn't work anymore (was reading response content twice).
At the same time, I switched to json for the dump and load, instead of using eval and repr (for obvious security reasons). I should have done this much earlier.
The reason this didnt work is all sibclasses of pythons type() or PyType_Type in C, have to have their size set to sizeof(PyHeapTypeObject) rather then sizeof(PyTypeObject) as you might expect.
This is strange since its not a heap-class (defined in pythons runtime), but a static C type, so Im not sure about this, and cant find any documentation but it seems to work ok.
- operator properties are now converted into python property() class members which bypass the operator 'properties' member.
self.properties.mysetting
... can now be written as ...
self.mysetting
- fix for error reloading rigify
eg:
bpy.types.Scene.myprop = BoolProperty()
note, this uses an ugly python metaclass, this should be replaced with a C implimentation which is included but commented out, causing crashes in pythons GC which gives no hint as to where the bug comes from.
- better error reporting when an addon fails to load
- upload an addon which loads partly but then fails (eg, module loads but class register fails)
- bugfix addon loading, failier to load would leave _bpy_types._register_immediate = False
- added which change on disk are reloaded when enabling.
- bpy.path.module_names() now returns (module_name, module_path) pairs.
while not a bug, being able to cycle over vertex/edge/face modes is useful. added an operator to cycle an array, could be used for cycling the active layer or mesh edit mode.
- disable instead hiding UI checkbox for facing_axis and normal_up parameters of steering actuator
- fit rna names to the name convention for steering actuator and recast data structures
- move: material.add_texture(tex, coords, mapto) --> material.texture_slots.add()
- added material.texture_slots.create(index), material.texture_slots.clear(index)
- texture slot functions also work for lamp and world now.
Other minor changes
- allow rna functions to set FUNC_NO_SELF and FUNC_USE_SELF_ID at once.
- [#23317] Changed some operators' RNA to accept lengths, a modification I made to this patch made it not work as intended, removed this edit so unit buttons appier in the UI for certain operators.
- Sphinx doc gen, 2 columns rather then 3, didnt quite fit in some cases.
- use 3 column lists for inherited props, funcs and for references to save on vertical space.
- use the blender version string for the upload path and PDF name.
