levels, child particles, and shadow/SSS/AO quality.. Now also works on what
is displayed in the 3d view instead of only rendering, see panel in the scene
properties.
Most file changes were to make scene available in the isDisabled modifier
callback function.
Pushed limits for Graph Editor view extents to proper limits, and fixed clamping used in View2D code which was preventing height of View2D viewports from getting below 1.0
Fix [#20794] Can't save my file by pressing "Enter" button
- removed the ability to activate a text field by pressing enter when the mouse is over it. This wasn't that practical and now allows the convenient 2.4 behaviour in the file selector filename field, of pressing enter twice to save.
Rotations are now stored internally as radians, while exposing degrees in the UI -
in the graph editor and UI controls. This is done in two areas:
1) Using the unit system to convert RNA data to display as degrees in the UI controls
2) FCurves now use degrees for rotation, so you can edit in the graph editor what
you see in the UI.
All rotation data is consistently accessible in DNA and RNA as radians, degrees are only
used for the UI controls and graph editor.
This commit includes conversions will convert old files (stored data and also fcurve data)
to the new units, hopefully everything should go smoothly!
Part of this also changes a few properties that were hard-coded as degrees before (such
as IK pole angle and brush texture rotation) to also use the same consistent system of
radians (dna/rna) and degrees (ui).
Thanks to Joshua for hints and review here too.
Between the datablock filtering options and the auto-snapping menu in the headers of Animation Editors, there is a new toggle for enabling this new feature (only when there are groups in the scene). Enabling this, a field to enter/select a group in the scene to filter with, will appear beside it.
This feature has been added to make it easier to manage animating multiple character shots in Durian.
By assigning the rigs of several bandits to a single group, or Sintel and her staff to another group, or Sintel and the guardians to another group, and so on, it is possible to filter the animation data shown in the editors to a useful subset of the total motion in the scene.
This makes it easier to retime or edit the motions of one set of characters and their props without affecting the motions of other no-related objects. The downside is that there is a bit more setup work required upfront, but that's probably a small price to pay for some groupings that may be useful in other ways too later (perhaps for compositing or lighting work).
This patch by Guillaume Lecocq (lguillaume) adds user preference settings for setting the playback frame-rate and delay between captured frames for the screencasting feature.

I've made a few tweaks for a few minor issues
- Made DNA vars for these settings shorts instead of ints, reducing the number of unnecessary extra pad vars
- Added version patching to ensure that these settings are initialised by default
- Made tooltips for the settings more descriptive
Was very quick to do, now re-aquainted with node editor.

Todo: modes for affecting hue and value on the vertical axis as well as just saturation - or if an enterprising coder wants to give it a go, let me know and
I can help :)
similar to sequence editor.

Also added 0 key (zero key) shortcut when mouse is over a button, to reset it to its default value.
Same as the RMB menu ->Reset to Default, except for color wheels, it only resets the hue/sat/value
components that that widget affects.
Peter/Xavier: The existing color balance code can generate NaNs (fractional power of a negative),
which causes havoc along the image pipeline. I added a check in the node code to prevent this.
Still plenty of potential for lots of better colour correction tools in the compositor, just needs time...
* Added a generic 'histogram' ui control, currently available in new image editor
'scopes' region (shortcut P). Shows the histogram of the currently viewed image.
It's a baby step in unifying the functionality and code from the sequence editor,
so eventually we can migrate the sequence preview to the image editor too,
like compositor.
Still a couple of rough edges to tweak, regarding when it updates. Also would
be very nice to have this region as a partially transparent overlapping region...
* Added Theme support for the console.
You can change:
-Header Color
-Text Color of Output, Input, Info and Error Messages. (Inside the User Preferences -> Themes)
So now tab is not ALWAYS converted to spaces.
This is stored by text datablock (what allows to do nice things in the future, as automatic check for the indentation type of the file).
Ideally we should redraw the other Text Editor windows after changing that (in case the same file is opened and the Property panel is also open). Not sure how to do that though.
I'm using TABSTOSPACES as the DEFINE flag because TABSASSPACES sounds too ugly.
(also fix for interface divisor bug)
- 2 fingers scroll (MOUSEPAN / GHOST_kTrackpadEventScroll event) pans/scrolls the view
- 2 fingers pinch (MOUSEZOOM / GHOST_kTrackpadEventMagnify event) zooms the view
And in 3D view:
- alt + 2 fingers scroll rotates the view
- 2 fingers rotation (MOUSEROTATE / GHOST_kTrackpadEventRotate) orbits the view.
The implementation uses a new GHOST event type: GHOST_kEventTrackpad, that is then dispatched as Blender MOUSEPAN, MOUSEZOOM
or MOUSEROTATE events.
This is currently fully implemented for OSX (GHOST Cocoa fires the new events), with auto-detection of the source peripheral, so that a regular mouse still sends MOUSEWHEEL events.
change how data is added. eg.
bpy.data.add_mesh(name) --> bpy.data.meshes.new(name)
bpy.data.remove_lamp(lamp) --> bpy.data.lamps.remove(lamp)
image and texture stil use add_* funcs
A solid color backdrop is now drawn behind the mute/protect toggles and sliders, reducing the visual clutter with long names still appearing behind the UI widgets.
Restored the old Eyedropper tool from the 2.4 colour picker. Now it's an operator,
working nicely using rna properties (fixes#19475 and some todo items)
This ended up being a bit more work than expected, it involved converting the
colour picker to use RNA properties directly, rather than temporary values. This has
several advantages, including being able to type in RGB values greater than 1,
however there are still some redraw issues with sliders.
Also removed the alternate color pickers after this time spent testing, the current one
should be sufficient, or alternatives to the wheel can possibly become preferences
in the current design.
Converting the picker to RNA also made it very trivial to make a cool new
ColorWheel template, which can be embedded in UI layouts. I've enabled it already
in texture/vertex paint brush properties and the sequence editor color correction:

* Now, while rotating a 3D view with MMB held down, you can hold shift to switch to Pan or ctrl to switch to Zoom, without having to let go of MMB. While it sounds simple it makes things really smooth to use and eases repeated presses of MMB. One thing I liked from Max. It's also in the modal key maps, so you can change it to whatever you like.
* A similar thing, when panning a 2D View, you can hold LMB to switch to zoom, effectively making MMB+LMB zoom. This is not very useful on a mouse, but it's very nice for tablet use, being able to navigate with one hand (side switch+stylus press) very easily. This one's from Fusion.
