I've recoded the way long keyframes work a bit, so that more cases are handled accurately. Now, it takes into account the number of IPO-curves that have keyframes in them on the start/end frame of the long-keyframe, instead of just taking the total number of IPO-curves present for the channel being drawn.
The BPy Access to PyConstraints. I have not implemented the setter for the PyC-ID-Properties access as I'm not too sure how this should be done.
Also fixed a few typos in the py-docs for the Limit Scale constraint.
At last! The ability to code constraints in Python. This opens up many interesting rigging possibilities, as well as making prototyping constraints easier.
* A PyConstraint script must begin with the line
#BPYCONSTRAINT
* It must also define a doConstraint function, which performs the core actions of the constraint.
* PyConstraints use IDProperties to store custom properties for each PyConstraint instance. The scripter can choose which of these ID-Properties to expose to a user to control the behaviour of the constraint. This must be done using the Draw.PupBlock method.
Credits to Joe Eager (joeedh) for coding the original patch on which this is based. I've made heavy revisions to large parts of the patch.

This commit refactors curve selection system to use certain curve selections
functions that encapsulate setting of selection flags. New function to select
adjacent control points was introduced too. Refactoring made it possible to
simplify certain existing selection functions quite a bit.
New functionality was delivered as well. Select more/less works now with NURBS
as expected. Also two new curve selection functions were added: Select Every Nth
and Select Random.
See http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderDev/Curve_Selection_Tools for
further information.
Duplicating bones now also duplicates the Transform Locks, and IK DOF settings, along with constraints.
I have noticed a few random crashes while editing armatures recently, that seem to occur after duplicating a chain of bones. I've yet to find the cause though.
work only in non camera mode in 3D view
need the external plug-in to be compiled separately
line 894 of ghostwinlay.c must be replaced with
values adapted at your system
see mailing list for features planned and how
to use
* In add_levels, moved the call to update_levels to the beginning rather than the end. This is slightly faster, as there's one less level to update. Also fixes a bug (introduced in rev. 10836?) that made multires's add_level differ slightly from the subdivide modifier.
* Removed two unused structs from multires
* Replaced one-line get_float function with a macro
* During add_level, move the freeing of temp data to after the update_level, so that this data isn't calculated twice
* Small optimization to multires based on profiling data; calculation of edge boudndaries is now cached along with multires mapping data to improve the performance of the catmull-clark code.
* Removed an unneeded call to create the temporary data when loading files.
Modified the vert_edge_map and vert_face_map arrays in MultiresLevel so that the data is stored only for as long as it is needed -- for adding levels and updating levels. Once the modifications are
complete, the mapping data is deleted, which provides a large reduction in memory usage for a minor increase in processing time for updating levels.
removed loop and unused var, since this is a sensitive (and not my) area - I did some mesh comparisons and ran a comparison with the old function passing random values, so this should be ok.
Yet another commit to fix Shift-S snapping for keyframes. The code to snap an Object's IPO block's keyframes to the current frame should be evaluated before the expanded/collapsed status of said object is evaluated.
*if a vertex group was renamed in the outliner, the name was not updated
correctly in visible buttons window
*certain buttons in Render panel didn't update other buttons windows in
case their value was changed
*same goes for Logic context of the Buttons Window
*also cleaned up unnecessary code from Logic context and made Timer
field to work correctly when pressed with left mouse button
* Snap and Mirror tools for the Action Editor, now respect NLA scaling again. I accidentally omitted the relevant code when recoding.
* Snap tool in the NLA Editor, now works for the keyframes displayed for each object too. There's one case I've to check up on later, as there might be interesting conflicts.
I've just spent two days rewriting the Action Editor to unify its code and bring it under control again (it was 107kb, now it is around 73 kb).
* This means that there are no longer separate functions for each tool for Actions and Shapekeys in the Action Editor, and also no more missing tools for either.
* Also, I've gotten rid of the need for those complicated, hierarchial loops used for action channels, as they were a pain to keep consistent with each other.
* Baking functions have been removed. See user-level-changes for more details.
* Reorganised and completely rewrote code in editaction.c, thus the lengthy diff.
User Level Changes:
* For the meantime, border-selecting Action Channels has been disabled
* Baking functions have been removed. As far as I have been able to find out, these were really non-functional anyway. Besides, I don't think they really belonged in editaction.c
* Editing Shapekey keyframes now yields the same feature set as for those in Action Channels.
* There shouldn't be any major bugs left, but I might have missed something.
Further Work:
* Do a cleanup like this to the Action Editor drawing code in drawaction.c
* Baking??? (harkyman seems to be doing something about this)
In order to give import/export script authors the ability to add properties
to inidividual faces, vertices and edges in the same manner as they are able
to do with ID structures three new custom data types have been added to blender
for floats, integers and strings.
Things to note:
-Since property Layers are custom data, they are added to all verts, edges
or faces at once.
-Only one property layer for each unique property name may exist. In other
words, you cannot have a float layer as well as an integer layer
both with the same name.
-No user interface for this exists at the moment.
The following methods and attributes have been added to the Blender.Mesh
Python module and it's object types:
->MVert/Edge/FaceSeq:
addPropertyLayer(name, type)
removePropertyLayer(name)
renamePropertyLayer(original name, new name)
properties(readonly list.)
->MVert/Edge/Face
getProperty(name)
setProperty(name, value)
->Mesh module
PropertyTypes (readonly dictionary)
Kind of fixed [#6688] sculpt - if 2.44 blend is openned in 2.43 with flatten brush selected causes crash
* Added better handling for new brushes; if more brushes are added they will no longer cause a crash (but this doesn't help older Blenders compiled without this fix.)
Fixed bug [#6798] Multires eventually destroys Meshes with Shapekys
* Moved the check for multires on adding shapekeys into insert_shapekeys rather than on the "Add Shape" button click
Particle system was messing up depsgraph tags, causing bad results
in commandline renders especially (or in rendering first frame of
animation).
Fixed with introducing a temp storage tag in Objects. The real fix
should be to make particle systems behave nice inside the depsgraph.
