* Massive reorganization of pointcache code, things are now cleaner than ever.
* For all but smoke the cache is first written to memory when using disk cache and after that written to disk in one operation. This allows less disk operations and the possibility to compress the data before writing it to disk.
* Previously only smoke cache could be compressed, now the same options exist for other physics types too (when using disk cache). For now the default compression option is still "no compression", but if there aren't any problems this can be set to "light compression" as it's actually faster than no compression in most cases since there's less data to write to the disk. Based on quick tests heavy compression can reduce the file size down to 1/3rd of the original size, but is really slow compared to other options, so it should be used only if file size is critical!
* The pointcache code wasn't really 64bit compatible (for disk cache) until now, so this update should fix some crashes on 64bit builds too. Now all integer data that's saved to disk uses 32 bit unsigned integers, so simulations done on 64bit should load fine on 32bit machines and vice versa. (Important disk cache simulations made on 64bit builds should be converted to memory cache in a revision before this commit).
* There are also the beginnings of extradata handling code in pointcache in anticipation of adding the dynamic springs for particle fluids (the springs need to be stored as extradata into point cache).
* Particles were being read from the cache with a slightly wrong framerate. In most cases this probably wasn't noticeable, but none the less the code is now correct in every way.
* Small other fixes here and there & some cosmetic changes to cache panel, but over all there should be no functional changes other than the new disk cache compression options.
* This whole re-organization also seems to fix bug #25436 and hopefully shouldn't introduce any new ones!
* Argh my bad, sorry about this!
* Now only the actual data array is saved to avoid constant re-allocations, but no relations to active data are kept.
* Also reverted Ton's quick fix for the crash as it's not needed anymore.
Floor constraint didn't work: the defines for the enums were using
the wrong ones, the right ones are not logical... but code and dna
and old files assume these. Now it works :)
Crash in Bezier animation (inserting keys on control points in
curve object). The animation rna paths were not fixed after an
editmode session, which got fixed 2 weeks ago, but for all older
binaries the issue can still pop up.
The crash happened because the RNA array-itterator was not doing
a boundary check, even whilst the array size was passed on to the
itterator callbacks. With rna then writing far outside of valid
memory, very bad and unpredictable corruptions happen.
I've added a range check now, and a decent print to denote the
issue. An assert quit is useless, since a tab-tab on curve objects
will fix the channels nicely.
Example of warning print:
Array itterator out of range: Spline_bezier_points_lookup_int (index 30 range 2)
Serious *bad* crash in undo introduced by commit Janne dec 21st.
Time window now stores some kind of cache for fluids/cloth, but
it's pointing (in SpaceTime) to data inside Objects. (Not ID).
That's really not allowed... this commit fixes crashes but the
cache code really needs to be redesigned. I'm also afraid this
crash is going to frustrate everyone using physics...
- the invert flag was only being used for multi-modifier, but there is no reason not to use this in normal cases as well.
- Armature modifier RNA name 'vertex_group' was incorrectly named 'vertex_group_multi_modifier' (own fault), confusion was caused by 'invert_vertex_group_multi_modifier' which was correct.
Having edit operations select the mirrored bones means you cant so easily continue editing on one side of the armature.
This is also inconsistent with other mirror editing operations in armature and mesh modes which don't adjust selection like this.
The bug was 'write_still' was incorrectly being initialized to 'view_context'.
'write_still' should always write an image, so failing silently here is bad behavior.
Also, opengl render and internal render engine operator should use this option the same way.
this missed some cases, now also disallow ints to be wrapped as floats.
This commit also exposed a number of cases where ints/floats were incorrectly wrapped.
Bugs like [#25416] wont slip through the cracks anymore.
Fixed by patch attached by submitter. Cheers Jacob F (racoon)!

If you write something like...
def do_something:
...and press return it makes the new line with a tab which is good,
but if you want to move the def line down to make room above it by
pressing return while your caret is at the start of the line it
indents the new line which has the def statement on it.
Attached patch just checks if it's checking for a colon after the
caret and returns if it is.

"Numpad 1" shortcut to set preview view zoom to 1:1 (i.e. 100%) did
not exist in View menu. While investigating this, I found that the
operator was missing a description/tooltip, so added one too.
Clobbered together some new code to do this based on the code for Edit
Bone circle select as this case doesn't seem to have been implemented
yet.
NOTE: the code in view3d_select.c needs some urgent love and tidying
up (like a room full of flaking paint).
Lamp shadows for offscreen render (opengl anim) had to be remade
to cope with animated objects. Fix proved by Alexander Kuznetsov
in the tracker log. Thanks!
- rather then use unlink="None", just don't pass unlink as a keyword. This is more pythonic.
- added an RNA flag for properties which cant be unlinked by setting to None.
Bugfix for job cancellation (reported by Carsten in email)
Ended up recoding part of the communication pipe (use json more consistently)
Fix bpy data modifications where it shouldn't happen (as a bonus, thumbnailing is now done out of process)
Frame Mapping (map old, map new) didn't set the the framelen
variable. Note that this feature is half-working, and on the
to. Might be removed/replaced with something better.
Keyframes for locked channels are now shown faintly so that it is
possible to easily distinguish between keyframes for locked channels
and unlocked channels. Hopefully this solves the problem where you
have some keyframes selected, and try to move them but forget that
those channels are locked (without any feedback other than a single
icon).
Thanks for pointing out this problem Ronan Zeegers!
