correct (although fairly unnoticable).
- bug fix, vertex normal calculation didn't normalize face normals before
summing... silly mistake
p.s. perhaps the Crystal Space bla bla naming conversation is not most
appropriate for the commit list?
"Flush":
- There are now two modes, "Flush" and "Justify". Justify only flushes
a line when it is *terminated* either by wordwrap or by Enter.
- "Flush" *always* flushes the line, also when it's still being entered.
This mode can be used for things like this:
http://pub.intrr.org/flush.png
..while "Justify" would not flush the second line.
- Fixed "Flush" squeezing all characters on the same spot if the textframe
was set to 0 width
- Improved text editing for justified ('Flush') text: Line will not
be filled up until it is completed (wordwrap or Enter)
- Fixed waitcursor flickering in displist.c
Important notes:
- Full compatibility with old text objects not fully restored
(word spacing will be 0.0, need to set it manually to 1.0), will
either need version upgrade to 238 or a hack. Will check.
- lorem.c (about to be committed) contains BF copyright notice, but as
BF did not exist a few hundred years ago, probably best to remove it :)
- If you notice any cross-platform issues (especially beloved windows),
please report
- A few tiny warnings left, I will fix those issues still.
The rest has been said already - so have fun testing. And please do!

Recurring issue, but also bug in 2.37/37a: OSA sample amount versus AO
sample amount conflict... if AO and OSA amounts were exact equal it gives
black spots. Solution not optimal yet... but at least looks good.
Still think it's useless to sample fewer than AO level 8 (64), but
nevertheless. :)
no executable code.
Martin noticed many of our bpy instance variables were
incorrectly marked as class variables in the doc. This
commit essentially changes the title of sections of the doc
from Class Variables to Instance Variables. Now that we are
adding class or module dictionaries for constants, etc. this is
a distinction worth making. Plus it is right.
- Jean-Michel Soler updated his paths importer (svg part) -- ongoing work related to this bug report by intrr:
http://projects.blender.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=125&aid=2674&group_id=9
- small doc update in paths import about some imported curves needing "enter edit mode, select all points, toggle cyclic (press 'c')" to show up correctly;
- old vrml 2 exporter's menu name and tooltip updated to clarify that it is the old version, soon to be removed (in favor of the already included vrml 97 update by Bart). Also prints a msg about it to the console when used.
Thanks all.
Adjustment in wire frame optimizer, it only removes edges with 'valence' 2,
meaning 2 faces sharing edge. Bug was that it removed edges having 3 faces.
- #2646 reported by Campbell: Python/Fileselector (moving from fileselector called by script to another space caused script to hang around open but not accessible)
http://projects.blender.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=125&aid=2646&group_id=9
- #2676 reported by Wim Van Hoydonck: 2.37 python scripts gui: event 8 ignored (thanks Ton for discussing / pointing what to do, Ken Hughes for also working on a fix)
http://projects.blender.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=125&aid=2676&group_id=9
- gui-less scripts with calls to progress bar inside fileselector callbacks didn't return to the previous space on exit (staying on Scripts win), requiring an event to do so (mouse movement, for example). Quick fix for now, will rework a little after 2.37a for a better alternative, not needing to move to the Scripts win at all.
- added syntax colors access to Window.Theme module.
Scripts:
- updates by Jean-Michel Soler: svg2obj (svg paths import), tex2uvbaker, fixfromarmature;
- updates by Campbell Barton: obj import / export, console;
- tiny: converted vrml97 export to unix line endings;
- updates in ac3d exporter, help browser, save theme.
Thanks all mentioned above.
Absorption and Dispersion parameters now only visible when 'Ray Transp'
enabled. WardIso specular amount scale to match Blender output.
Updated halo spotlight 'samples' to use new yafray syntax.
Quick addition for access to another yafray feature:
When using HDR backgrounds for lighting ('SkyDome' of 'Full' GI methods),
it is currently not always possible to get smooth lighting results.
Especially HDR images with small lightsource can be very noisy,
because currently yafray still relies on brute force random sampling.
As a temporary simple solution (better options will be available in the
'next generation' yafray), yafray can do some processing on the
image to smooth out all (or most) noise.
Besides smooth lighting, this also has
the advantage that AA will have less work to do,
GI quality can be set to the lowest level and still get reasonably
good results. Disadvantage however is that shadow definition is lost.
To switch on this option, set the world image texture filter parameter
to any value greater than 1.0
When 'filter' is 1.0 or less, normal hdr sampling is done as before.
So, current fastest possible render settings for IBL:
set texture image filter parameter of the background image to any value
greater than 1.0, set GI to 'SkyDome' type, enable 'Cache',
(possibly enable 'NoBump' when scene uses lots of bumpmapping),
set 'Quality' menu to 'Use Blender AO settings',
make sure AO is enabled in blender World buttons and set there the number
of AO samples to 1.
Should at least be good enough for previews.
