Patch from Miika Hämäläinen.
The old Material "Only Shadow" used an ancient 'best guess'
formula using Lamp Distance and some averaging for converting
shadow values to alpha.
A couple of bug reporters already complained about the not
very predictable renders. Miika fixed this by adding two
new options, to only give the true shadow factor exclusively,
or to give a result including light intensity values.

the old FH setting was blended with the other physics settings (friction and elastic)
Also in the Physics panel it was saying "Use Material Physics" but the button is only for Force Field.
Since I was here I decided to change the Constraint FH ui name from Fh to Force. I don't think users really understand what FH is (I for once don't).
Thanks to Carsten Wartmann for pointing that out.
- Added option "Fixed Texture" to the UI. Because of strange reason,
this feature was implemented but hidden from users.
Would be cool, if somebody familiar with 2d texture paiting check.
- Fixed some issues in existing code of fixed texture paiting.
It now handles brush radius and curve correct.
- Also fixed issue with paiting with texture from node tree - it used
to be painted with regular brush color instead of texture.
Finally, the Blender icon can be used for the splash screen menu entry, on own todo for almost 1 year!
Thanks to elubie for fixing this in the code. :)
From the tracker:::
Issues fixed:
- ConeTwist-constraint's params weren't making it to the CcdPhysicsEnvironment, also added Hinge's params.
- UI wasn't using angles where applicable.
- btHingeConstraint's constructor can create frame-matrices which don't align so the hinge doesn's start at 0 degree tilt.
This is an issue when setting limits.
Changes:
- UI: Hinge limits can be set (and disabled).
- UI: ConeTwist only has max-limits and only the twistX can be disabled
- PyApi via rna_constraint.c: added the functions limit_xyz_min, limit_xyz_max (for 6dof), limit_angle_xyz_min,
limit_angle_xyz_max (for 6dof), limit_angle_x_min, limit_angle_x_max (for hinge).
- PyApi: dropped python-function limit_cone_min.
.:. Extra:
UI Changes:
- renamed "RigidBody Joint" to "Rigid Boidy Joint"
- reorganized UI to conform with other parameters (e.g. Limit Rot)
- added dis/active all over the place :)
* More code cleanup.
When removing the narrow_ui feature, a lot of split functions were kept. Changed them to rows, which are more easily readable. Check out properties_data_lattice.py for a good example.
markers.
This is useful for when working with lipsync shots, where you've used
markers for noting down key syllables and want to separate these out
into chunks to manage things better.
Layer height used to be controlled with brush radius, quite confusing decision.
Added new property for brushes - height for adjusting affectable brush height
(it could be not only layer height in the future).
* This is basically a total rewrite of the edge split algorithm. The old one didn't handle tris at all and quads were cut wrong in some cases too with the addition of not handling uv coordinates at all.
* This new algorithm uses a flag system to categorize different splits and the identical but rotated cases in a similar way to how marching cubes indexes different cases.
* It cuts quads and tris and creates proper uv's for the new faces too.
* I also renamed the option to "edge cut" to differentiate if from the edge split modifier and added an option to override a uv-channel in the exploded mesh with particle age as x-coordinate so that the shrapnel can be faded out nicely etc.

mostly because of the recent changes in normalmap channels,
so users can adopt old bakes quickly.
though they might aswell prove useful in other situations.
Now we have the old UI again, as suggested by several developers on the Mailing List.
At least for simple materials. For Node Materials we keep the new Pipeline panel.
This should make both sides happy. :)
problem was on installing a file which was already installed, when the source and target paths match python deleted the file.
now check if the selected file is inside any of the addon search paths and abort with an error.
From the patch description:
"A new panel is proposed to bring togheter all the properties of a material that belong to the render pipeline level.
Such properties are currently not mixable with node materials, as nodes operate on a shader level."
Commiting this patch as approved in the sundy meeting.
* Particle system's are comparable to texture slots, which can
only exist within an id block. Particle settings on the other
hand are idblocks which should be pinnable just like textures.
* When particle settings are pinned only properties that make
sense without the actual particle system are shown in the
particle panel.
* Now texture pinning works consistently for all textures.
* The only problem is that there is no way to pin textures if there are
no textures in the context path, so it's for example impossible to pin
the texture of a displace modifier without adding a texture somewhere
else and selecting that texture first. I my opinion this is quite
counter productive so perhaps a dedicated "only textures" texture
context option is needed after all.
* All the various index-related issues should finally be sorted now.
It seems you cannot just partially implement some of these active
index getter/setters...
* Standardised the call used by PoseLib operators to get the Object
from which they get the active PoseLib data from
* PoseLib operators which require some existing data to work now use a
poll() which checks for this
* Added back the operator used to make standard actions into ones
usable by PoseLib
* Added a dummy operator for the apply active pose button which really
just calls the same backend functions as "Browse Interactive", but
which has a nicer frontend (naming + description) for the purpose of
being used in this way
* Also, removed some useless code from here
- Added operator button to show the current pose. This runs on top of
the interactive pose browse functionality, so the tooltip may be a bit
obtuse...
- Specifying a pose for the Pose browse functionality to set now works
correctly. Previously, some old depsgraph hacks were actually
interferring with correct updating (only the armature updated
correctly, but deforms didn't occur)
- Fixed a case of accessing freed memory, which I'm surprised no
static checkers have reportedly picked up on yet, or that nobody has
really had issues with (probably due to low memory "turnaround" so
far)
