Not working:
a) rendering (since volumterics branch is not merged yet)
b) moving collision objects of any kind
c) saving of collision objects (because that's what I am working on)
d) pointcache
e) A bunch of other things I already know of
So please do not report any bugs on this one yet :-)
Bugfix: revert to previous behaviour of BLI_rename, is used for safe blendfile saving.
Added guard in file browser though to prevent user from invoking this.
* Side panels now use list widgets.
* Enabled theme colors for side panel.
* Add button in bookmarks panel.
* Operator panel title now uses operator name.
* For unix, added / to system, and home and desktop to bookmarks.
* For opening fileselect with filter, cleaned up the code a bit,
adding WM_operator_properties_filesel instead of duplicating code.
* Also added filter for all operators calling fileselect, only image
and file open did it before.
* Hide . files by default, and also hide files ending with ~.
* Added back .. (but not .) in the file list, I really missed this.
* File highlight now only happens when you're actually over a file,
instead staying after you move the mouse away.
* Fix some redraw/refresh issues.
* operator for create new directory activated (IKEY)
* operator for rename (works on files and directories so far) (CTRL+LMB)
Note: fail to rename is rather quiet, no message popup, just doesn't rename if it can't.
So far checked that (On Windows Vista) rename fails on system directories, which I think acceptable.
Note: I removed the code that (silently) deletes file if I rename file to an existing one. Considered harmful :)
Bugfixes:
* crash when loading file that has filebrowser open
* file size over 2GB/4GB? shows negative number
Other:
* tried to improve drawing speed a bit by only drawing the files actually shown and improving refresh behaviour a bit.
Note: Solution I found so far is to use the non-standard _stat64, as far as I could see, WIN64 should work without that patch (Genscher, please check and if needed you can enable this too by removing the !defined(WIN64) )
This probably needs to be fixed in at least one other place (BLI_filesize), will look into this once this fix proves stable enough)
Various fixes for painting, sculpting and particle edit, still
much to be done...
* Move RNA paint and sculpt structs into rna_sculpt_paint.c,
* Added Particle Edit RNA.
* Some tweaks to existing Paint RNA.
* Put texture paint and particle edit object in context.
* Fix some errors in the brush layout, properly doing None
checks, fixing some wrong property identifiers.
* Added tool enum for texture paint and particle edit in panels.
* Allow editing brush textures in the texture buttons, still with
a stupid toggle, ideas for how to make the connection better are
welcome.
* Fix crash entering particle mode, and particles not showing.
Janne, please check the changes I made in psys_cache_paths,
I'm not confident they are correct.
* Fix some warnings
* Windows fixes for texture filter & bump patches, thanks
Jean-Michel Soler for noting.
* Added sqrtf/sinf/fabsf/... fallback #ifdefs in BLI_arithb.h,
those should be safe to use now. Replacing the double for the
float version throughout the code can be done once, but would
need proper testing.
Patch by Alfredo de Greef. Considerably improves the quality of bump
mapping, and texture filtering for displacement and warp too. Mainly
this is achieved by getting the texture derivatives just right in
various cases, many thanks to Alfredo for figuring this one out, works
great.
This is enabled by default now, but disabled still for existing
textures to preserve backwards compatibility. Can be enabled with
the "New Bump" option in the material texture slot in the outliner.
Also, I made the range for the normal factor a bit smaller since this
gives stronger effects, but note that you can still type in larger
values than the slider allows.
Too many new features to list! But here are the biggies:
- Boids can move on air and/or land, or climb a goal object.
- Proper interaction with collision objects.
* Closest collision object in negative z direction is considered as ground.
* Other collision objects are obstacles and boids collide with them.
- Boid behavior rules are now added to a dynamic list.
* Many new rules and many still not implemented.
* Different rule evaluation modes (fuzzy, random, average).
- Only particle systems defined by per system "boid relations" are considered for simulation of that system.
* This is in addition to the boids own system of course.
* Relations define other systems as "neutral", "friend" or "enemy".
- All effectors now effect boid physics, not boid brains.
* This allows forcing boids somewhere.
* Exception to this is new "boid" effector, which defines boid predators (positive strength) and goals (negative strength).
Known issue:
- Boid health isn't yet stored in pointcache so simulations with "fight" rule are not be read from cache properly.
- Object/Group visualization object's animation is not played in "particle time". This is definately the wanted behavior, but isn't possible with the current state of dupliobject code.
Other new features:
- Particle systems can now be named separately from particle settings.
* Default name for particle settings is now "ParticleSettings" instead of "PSys"
- Per particle system list of particle effector weights.
* Enables different effection strengths for particles from different particle systems with without messing around with effector group setting.
Other code changes:
- KDTree now supports range search as it's needed for new boids.
- "Keyed particle targets" renamed as general "particle targets", as they're needed for boids too. (this might break some files saved with new keyed particles)
Bug fixes:
- Object & group visualizations didn't work.
- Interpolating pointcache didn't do rotation.
Constraints:
* Adding constraints with targets should now work.
-- (When no target is provided, the code to create a new target is not yet in place again yet)
* Constraints can be added in Object and PoseModes again using the Ctrl-Shift-C hotkey.
* All constraints can now be cleared from the active Object or selected Bones using the Ctrl-Alt-C hotkey.
* Added warnings when adding constraints invalid for the current context, and removed the old add_constraint() function.
* Buttons window updates correctly after adding keyframes now
Keyframes Drawing:
* Removed un-necessary extra function-call for RB-Tree implementation, by inlining a special one-off case.
* Keyframe diamonds which are not within the viewable area are now not drawn (but filtering will still need to find them).
- BLI_add_slash returns the new string length.
- BLI_where_am_i() would often have /./ in the path (not incorrect but annoying, got into python exceptions)
- release/ui/space_image.py, py error referencing invalid keyword args.
Keyframes are now prepared for drawing by being added to a binary-tree structure instead of using insertion-sort on a Double-Linked List. This gives rather significant improvements on a few bad cases (*).
I've implemented a basic Red-Black Tree whose nodes/data-structures can also be used as a simple Double-Linked List (ListBase) for this purpose. The implementation of this tree currently does not have support for removing individual nodes, since such capabilities aren't needed yet.
Stats (using keyframes from an imported .bvh animation file):
* When only the keyframes are drawn (i.e. long keyframes are not identified), the time needed to draw the DopeSheet region 10 times went down from 4000ms to about 300ms.
* When long keyframes are considered as well, the same test has gone from 6000ms to 3000ms. There is still a bottleneck there that I haven't been able to remove yet (an attempt at this made the runtimes go through the roof - 32000 ms for the test done here).
Assorted Notes:
* Added missing headers for some files
* Fixed profiling flags for mingw. There was an extra space which prevented the sound-code from compiling.
- 1st stage: Linear Workflow
This implements automatic linear workflow in Blender's renderer. With the
new Colour Management option on in the Render buttons, all inputs to the
renderer and compositor are converted to linear colour space before
rendering, and gamma corrected afterwards. In essence, this makes all
manual gamma correction with nodes, etc unnecessary, since it's done
automatically through the pipeline.
It's all explained much better in the notes/doc here, so please have a look:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Source/Blender/Architecture/Colour_Management
And an example of the sort of difference it makes:
http://mke3.net/blender/devel/rendering/b25_colormanagement_test01.jpg
This also enables Colour Management in the default B.blend, and changes the
default lamp falloff to inverse square, which is more correct, and much
easier to use now it's all gamma corrected properly.
Next step is to look into profiles/soft proofing for the compositor.
Thanks to brecht for reviewing and fixing some oversights!
* Objects now support up to 32767 material slots. It's easy to
increase this further, but I prefer not to increase the memory
usage of mesh faces, it seems unlikely that someone would
create 32767 distinct materials?
* Forward compatibility: the only thing you can potentially lose
reading a 2.5 file in 2.4 is object linking (instead of default
data), though usually that will go fine too. Reading files with
> 32 material slots in 2.4 can start giving issues.
* The ob->colbits variable is deprecated by the array ob->matbits
but I didn't remove the ob->colbits updates in very few places
it is set.
* I hope I changed all the relevant things, various places just
hardcoded the number 16 instead of using the MAXMAT define.
* Join Objects operator back. This is using the version from the
animsys2 branch coded by Joshua, which means it now supports
joining of shape keys.
* Fix for crash reading file saved during render.
* bugfix: parent on linux didn't account for first slash
* added some BLI_cleanup_dir to prevent weird directory names
* revert to old directory if user types bogus text.
* bugfix: don't allow parent dir to go beyond root
* bugfix: only attempt to change directory if it exists
New (WIP) feature: autocomplete for directory
* works on TAB
* so far only one level (in current directory)
Monthly cleaning round to make it compile warning free.
Mostly it was const stuff (strings, Context), but also
a couple useful fixes, like wrong use of temp pointers.
Only Mathutils callback struct I left alone... design issue.
* show only name of the last directory for the bookmark
* small fix of projectfile: header BLI_fileops.h was moved
Note: full path should appear in tool tip later, also for renaming bookmarks later on.
Mostly harmless ones, except for one about "gzopen64" being
undeclared. This needs some defines in BLI_storage.h to be set
before <unistd.h> is included. Might fix a crash in compressed
file reading, though I'm not sure since it's hard to repeat
the crash consistently.
* removed radiosity render code, DNA and RNA (left in radio render pass options), we'll get GI to replace this probably, better allow baking to vertex colors for people who used this.
* removed deprecated solid physics library, sumo integrations and qhull, a dependency
* removed ODE, was no longer being build or supported
* remove BEOS and AMIGA defines and references in Makefiles.
* Missing changes to release/windows/installer
* Sequencer fixes in source/blender/src/seqaudio.c dont apply to 2.5
* brechts fix for #18855 r20763 wasnt merged, does this apply to 2.5?
Checker: UNINIT (help)
File: base/src/source/blender/blenlib/intern/freetypefont.c
Function: objchr_to_ftvfontdata
Description: Using uninitialized value "face" in call to function "freetypechar_to_vchar"
freetypechar_to_vchar expects face to be defined so we need to
return before then if we have a problem. Also it doesn't
make sense to not return FALSE if there is an error because we
didn't do anything.

svn merge https://svn.blender.org/svnroot/bf-blender/trunk/blender -r19820:HEAD
Notes:
* Game and sequencer RNA, and sequencer header are now out of date
a bit after changes in trunk.
* I didn't know how to port these bugfixes, most likely they are
not needed anymore.
* Fix "duplicate strip" always increase the user count for ipo.
* IPO pinning on sequencer strips was lost during Undo.
Preview renders:
- Added proper button type (BUT_EXTRA) for preview buttons, to
handle drawing better. It now first draws an alpha mask, to
ensure the preview is correctly fitting inside the widget style.
It then draws the outline.
- Added protection for executing preview renders while regular
rendering, that's not going to work...
- Removed/Commented some unused vars
- CValue::GetPropertyText() could return a temp reference to a variable on the stack, option wasnt used anywhere so removed.
- KX_ConstraintWrapper::GetConstraintId allows args but ignored them
- KX_ConstraintWrapper::PySetParam didnt return NULL on an error (messing up pythons exceptions).
- BLI_natstrcmp didnt return 0 when the while loop exited
First version of region-scaling. WIP commit, so bear with me a while!
- All fixed sized regions have a small 'drag' widget, on the left or top.
(not yet for free-sized regions, like 4-split).
- Mouse-over on widget changes cursor and allows drag.
- Click on widget hides/reveals.
- Fun for test; 3d view header, if high enough, draws more rows of
buttons when width is too small.
The WIP stuff;
- It doesn't save yet in files, using the "minsize" variable of region
definitions, also means other similar areas show same sizes now.
- Definitions for pref size, min/max will be added.
- Properties panel in Fcurve window draws widget on wrong place when
hidden (subdiv system needs tweak)
- Widgets don't draw perfect yet, also needs further tweaks.
But, in general it's quite fun and usable. :) Many variatians are possible,
like for real tabs, or little icons, or just click-drag on edge.
The reason to first try the widget/tab variation:
- it re-uses the "Area Action Zone" code, widgets for layouting Screens
- it's visible, hotkey-only options for screen layouts are not preferred.
- distinguish clearly area-edges from region-edges this way. Having the
cursor change shape on every edge (and block input) is probably annoying
too... but that can be tested.
Later more!
1) Remove WITH_FREETYPE2 from code, so now blender always need freetype2
2) Remove the old bmfont
3) Remove ftfont and bFTGL library
4) Implement a new BLF_draw_default function for place that still need/use
the old BMF api.
I try to update both, scons and cmake, but I only can test with make, so
hope all work fine.
MSVC is broken, but I don't have Windows, things to search and fix are
any reference to WITH_FREETYPE2, FTGL and BMFONT (take in care that
blenkernel also have a BKE_bmfont.h, this don't have anything to do with bmfont).
Always have to link/include the freetype2 library
Remove any reference to libbmfont
Remove any reference to libftfont
Remove any reference to libbftgl (or libbFTGL)
Sorting of files didn't take numbers into account propertly, so it
ordered files like;
10.jpg
300.jpg

Quite simple to solve, almost moved report to the 'todo', but too
fun to leave this. :)
function name is BLI_natstrcmp() "natural string compare".
The Python API to define Panels and Operators is based on subclassing,
this makes that system more generic, and based on RNA. Hopefully that
will make it easy to make various parts of Blender more extensible.
* The system simply uses RNA properties and functions and marks them
with REGISTER to make them part of the type registration process.
Additionally, the struct must provide a register/unregister callback
to create/free the PanelType or similar.
* From the python side there were some small changes, mainly that
registration now goes trough bpy.types.register instead of
bpy.ui.addPanel.
* Only Panels have been wrapped this way now. Check rna_ui.c to see
how this code works. There's still some rough edges and possibilities
to make it cleaner, though it works without any manual python code.
* Started some docs here:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderDev/Blender2.5/RNATypeRegistration
* Also changed some RNA_property and RNA_struct functions to not
require a PointerRNA anymore, where they were not required (which
is actually the cause of most changed files).
* For new buttons spaces, automatically set horizontal/vertical
align depending on size, instead of free.
* Cleaned up the UI panel API. There's now a new uiBeginPanel
function which takes a panel type, and a uiEndPanel which takes
the final size. uiNewPanel* functions will be phased out.
* Animate the re-alignment when a panel size changes, e.g. when
enabling dupliframes.
* Load ui scripts from the release/ folder first if it is
available. This makes it easier to edit ui scripts, since it
will directly use the original files which avoids having to
run the build system.
* Improve editing of panel types while blender is open. That
means fixing some issues with lacking updates, overlaps, strange
ordering. It even does an animation now when the panel resizes.
* Added extra parameter to generic unique name finding function BLI_uniquename() for specifying the delimeter between non-unique parts of the name and digits.
* Driver target variables now get unique names by default.
More cleanup!
- removed old UI font completely, including from uiBeginBlock
- emboss hints for uiBlock only have three types now;
Regular, Pulldown, or "Nothing" (only icon/text)
- removed old font path from Userdef
- removed all old button theme hinting
- removed old "auto block" to merge buttons in groups
(was only in use for radiosity buttons)
And went over all warnings. One hooray for make giving clean output :)
Well, we need uniform definitions for warnings, so people at least fix
them... here's the real bad bugs I found:
- in mesh code, a call to editmesh mixed *em and *me
- in armature, ED_util.h was not included, so no warnings for wrong call
to ED_undo_push()
- The extern Py api .h was not included in the bpy_interface.c, showing
a several calls using different args.
Further just added the missing includes, and removed unused vars.
