Baking would split non-planer quads in an unpredictable way, which is fine for rending but game engines often use a fixed order (0,1,2), (0,2,3) or (1,2,3) (1,3,0).
Added an option to use a fixed order when baking.
* python api render() would clamp the endframe to a short.
* python api's render() and renderAnim() would not render compositing because the name they gave to RE_NewRender was NOT G.scene->id.name, added comments to
G.scene->id.name

Camera IPO needs a special exception to be done earlier than others, that was removed in that revision.
I added a better comment to make sure nobody removes it again, unless they really understand what's happening.
removed frame numbering from BLI_convertstringcode into its own function (BLI_convertstringframe), many uses of BLI_convertstringcode were passing dummy frames values anyway.
in cases where adding the current frame number to a filename is needed run BLI_convertstringframe(...) after BLI_convertstringcode(...)
There are some cases Im not sure BLI_convertstringframe is needed, these have been commented as todo, but at least have the same functionality they used to.
FSA requires exr, so I've disabled the buttons too in that case. I also
noticed CMake doesn't enable openexr by default, but a lot of the render
code relies on it, so I've enabled it by default now.
[#8067] external texture plugin thread-safe modifications
Submitted By: David Anderson (davywavy)
It makes it so the "result" array is passed in, instead of a global var.
I expanded the patch so it will play nice with older plugins that are not
thread safe as well.
I also updated the existing plugins in the release, so they are thread safe.
--------------- What do people think of this.... ------------------
This should maybe be talked about in the functionality board or something,
but what do people think of adding in default texture/sequence plugins.
or making a seperate tree like lib for plugins.
The reason I ask is we have had a couple of upgrades to the plugin system.
(supporting float buffers for sequencer, and this one for textures)
http://www.cs.umn.edu/~mein/blender/plugins does not store revisions of
plugins I just make sure they work with the latest version. This is
getting messy. I haven't upgraded a lot of them to use floats (I know,
I'm lazy, and now this will also make modifications to the plugins)
It would be nice to have some of the standard ones under revision control.
We also seem to be having an explosion of platforms supported. It would
be nice to have platform maintainers compiling plugins as well for releases.
(Its getting to be more work for me to keep up with things...)
I'll go back to my corner now and be quite. ;)

working correct with translucency. Removed a check that presumably
is an optimization, but can't work correct and also gives no noticable
performance difference in my tests.
computers, probably due to slow multithreaded malloc. Now each render
thread keeps a list of qmc samplers that it fills as needed while
rendering (since it is hard to predict the actual amount needed in
advance due to ray recursion).
act as if the object was in its original position, instead of being
different for all instances. However, this is desired behavior in
some cases and so breaks compatibility. Now it only does the new
behavior when enabling the "From Original" option.
