When in material display mode, mesh_calc_modifiers() calculates the
orco DerivedMesh, which uses a different CustomDataMask. In
particular, it does not necessarily include the current modifier's
requiredDataMask, so those layers might get set to NO_COPY. For the
skin modifier, this resulted in a crash when the modifier internally
copies the DerivedMesh and the output does not contain the expected
MVertSkin layer.
Fixed by adding the requiredDataMask to the orco DM's CustomDataMask.
Also added a debugging function to customdata.c:
customData_mask_layers__print(CustomDataMask mask);
This will print out the names of all the CD layer types in the mask.
a) Another boundary fix. Resulted in smoke getting "sucked" back into the domain
b) Disabling substeps (internal thing). Fixes arbitrary explosions/instabilities.

Issue was caused by generated images had got no profile set (IB_PROFILE_NONE)
which confused OpenEXR saver (which makes sRGB conversion for profiles which
are not linear).
Actually this is much deeper issue which would require the whole color pipeline
workflow (which would happen at some point when currently urgent stuff is resolved),
but having correct profile set for generated images would still be helpful.
Detail: Smoke solver and Blender side of smoke now share the same cell length.
First reported by the Sintel artists long ago, again reported by MiikaH.

It is possible to get the old behaviour (handles excluded) by bringing up the
Operator Properties (F6) while in the Graph Editor (this doesn't work elsewhere
due to the context requirements of this stuff).
* The operator creates bones for each input edge (does not subdivide
them like the skin operator does), adds a fake root bone for skin
roots with multiple children.
* The operator adds vertex weight groups to the original mesh.
* Make copy_object_transform() public, used to match the armature
object to the mesh object.

/* Return the index of the edge vert that is not equal to 'v'. If
* neither edge vertex is equal to 'v', returns -1. */
int BKE_mesh_edge_other_vert(const struct MEdge *e, int v);

TL;DR:
* Frame node gets more usable bounding-box behavior
* Node resizing has helpful mouse cursor indicators and works on all borders
* Node selection/active colors are themeable independently
* Customizable background colors for nodes (useful for frames visual
distinction).
pass index, and a random number unique to the instance of the object.
This can be useful to give some variation to a single material assigned to
multiple instances, either manually controlled through the object index, based
on the object location, or randomized for each instance.

Change modifier_sameTopology() to not not treat Nonconstructive
modifiers as having same topology. This function is only used to test
whether Apply as Shape is allowed.
The exact nature of "nonconstructive" modifiers is not documented, but
current list is remesh, fluidsim, decimate, mask, build, and
boolean. All of these modify topology, and should not be making making
shape keys.
