==============================================
Commiting GSoC project by Xiangquan Xiao trunk.
Applied as separated patch, because svn merge produces to much false
conflicts and worked really slow.
Details for usage would be published on code.blender.org soon.
Thanks to Xiao for implementation of project, Campbell to code review,
Dalai and Gez for pointing to nice font and everybody else who took
part in improving i18n support.
- Make gettext stuff draw-time. so switching between languages
can happens without restart now.
- Added option to translate visible interface (menus, buttons, labels)
and tooltips. Now it's possible to have english UI and localized tooltips.
- Clean-up sources, do not use gettext stuff for things which can be
collected with RNA.
- Fix issues with windows 64bit and ru_RU locale on my desktop
(it was codepage issue).
- Added operator "Get Messages" which generates new text block with
with all strings collected from RNA.
- Changed script for updating blender.pot so now it appends
messages collected from rna to automatically gathered messages.
To update .pot you have to re-generate messages.txt using "Get Messages"
operator and then run update_pot script.
- Clean up old translation stuff which wasn't used and most probably
wouldn't be used.
- Return back "International Fonts" option, so if it's disabled, no
gettext lookups happens on draw.
- Merged read_homefile function back. No need in splitting it.
TODO:
- Custom fonts and font size.
Current font isn't nice at least for russian locale, it's
difficult to read it.
- Put references to messages.txt so gettext can merge translation when
name/description of some property changes.
Use this to raise errors when assigning a string property fails even though the value to assign *is* a string.
Before:
TypeError: bpy_struct: item.attr= val: Object.name expected a string type, not str
After:
TypeError: bpy_struct: item.attr= val: Object.name error assigning string, UnicodeEncodeError('utf-8' codec can't encode character '\udce9' in position 23: surrogates not allowed)
- rearrange structs to work for 64bit
- define all vars before goto's
- ifdefs for qsort_r/qsort_s
- dont cast pointers to int only for NULL checks
- dont printf STR_String directly, get the char pointer from it
also minor change to gpu py module, no need to pass empty tuple to PyObject_CallObject, can just be NULL
shader = gpu.export_shader(scene,material)
Returns the GLSL shader that blender generates to produce the visual effect
of material in scene for the purpose of reusing the shader in an external engine.
This function is meant to be used in a material exporter so that the GLSL
shader can be exported entirely. The return value is a dictionary containing the
shader source code and all associated data.
The full documentation is under sphinx.
Warning: there has been an API between the patch and this commit:
uniform['lamp'] and uniform['image'] now return python reference to
ID block instead of ID name as before. The X3D exporter that uses this
function must be adapted.

--- text from the patch.
Recently Campbell Barton added callback functionality for Python's usage, but this only includes pre- and post-render callbacks. There are no callbacks for the duration of the render. This patch adds the few lines required for executing a callback while Blender Render is working. The callback resides in the rendering pipeline stats function, so whenever statistics are printed, the callback is executed. This functionality is required if one wants to:
1) Observe what is happening while Blender is rendering via the command line
2) Add custom statistics that Blender prints while the renderer works
3) The user wants to continue executing his Python script without the code halting at bpy.ops.render.render()
Personally I'm currently using this for printing out more detailed progress reports at Renderfarm.fi (such as CPU time, time spent rendering, total progress in regards to the entire rendering process). Tested on Windows, Linux and OS X.
Example on how to use the callback:
def statscall(context): print("Thanks for calling!")
bpy.app.handlers.render_stats.append(statscall)
bpy.ops.render.render(animation=False, write_still=True)
* replace by BLI_snprintf in various places, note _snprintf on windows
does not properly null terminate the string.
* fix overflow in sequencer proxy code due to buffer being smaller than
specified size.
* fix some usage of snprintf as strcpy, this is will go wrong if the
string contains % characters.
* remove BLI_dynstr_printf function in gpu module, use BLI_dynstr_appendf
- dont use hash lookups in this case because converting the string to unicode and doing a hash lookup is slower then looping over the keys and comparing (which avoids creating and throwning away a unicode string).
