=======================
Added option to baked named "Bake From Multires" which is avaliable for
normals baking and displacement baking.
If this option is enabled, then no additional hi-res meshes and render
structures would be created . This saves plenty of memory and meshes
with millions of faces could be successfully baked in few minutes.
Baking happens from highest level against viewport subdivision level,
so workflow is following:
- Set viewport level to level at which texture would be applied
during final rendering.
- Choose Displacement/Normals baking.
- Enable "Bake From Multires" option.
- You're ready to bake.
Displacement baker had aditional option named "Low Resolution Mesh".
This option is used to set if you want texture for realtime (games)
usage.
Internally it does the following:
- If it's disabled, displacement is calculated from subdivided
viewport level, so texture looks "smooth" (it's how default
baked works).
- If it's enabled, dispalcement is calculated against unsubdivided
viewport levels. This leads to "scales". This isn;t useful for
offline renders much, but very useful for creating game textures.
Special thanks to Morten Mikkelsen (aka sparky) for all mathematics
and other work he've done fr this patch!
- Bone animations are also exported as f-curve animations now. As a result euler rotaions of bones are also exported. All animations with BEZIER, LINEAR or STEP ipo are exported.
- Quaternion rotations export.
- Object parented with armatures, animations to Armature Objects as a whole are also exported.
flag on ED_area_initialize(). This however was causing 2 problems;
- the view state got reset (popping window view back)
- the view2d operator polls failed (sliders didnt work)
This re-init was only needed for the headers though, limiting it
to these types of regions solves it.
- fix: user pref, window title was reset to 'Blender' on tab usage
- Undo history menu back:
- name "Undo History"
- hotkey alt+ctrl+z (alt+apple+z for mac)
- works like 2.4x, only for global undo, editmode and particle edit.
- Menu scroll
- for small windows or screens, popup menus now allow to display
all items, using internal scrolling
- works with a timer, scrolling 10 items per second when mouse
is over the top or bottom arrow
- if menu is too big to display, it now draws to top or bottom,
based on largest available space.
- also works for hotkey driven pop up menus.
- User pref "DPI" follows widget/layout size
- widgets & headers now become bigger and smaller, to match
'dpi' font sizes. Works well to match UI to monitor size.
- note that icons can get fuzzy, we need better mipmaps for it
Following on from my commit to introduce frame ranges for FModifiers,
those frame ranges can now have blend in/out values. By setting a
blendin or blendout value, you're specifying the number of frames for
the modifier's "full influence" to take effect or fade out relative to
the start/end frames.
The "full influence" above needs a little clarification.
When the "use influence" setting is enabled, "full influence" is taken
from the "influence" slider (a new setting). Otherwise, it uses 1.0
(i.e. unmodified influence, same as old behaviour before the
introduction of influence controls). The influence slider basically
says how much the modifier's effects are allowed to contribute to the
final result.

Notes:
- This opt-in "Use Influence" approach is really forced upon us
because there are heaps of old files for which we cannot easily
version patch without spending some effort going through all the data
in the file, hunting out the F-Modifiers.
- interpf() seems to use a backwards order compared to everything else
Due to overwhelming support from animators, Actions are no longer
created with fake users by default. If you're mainly creating action
libraries (the primary use case and argument for having this, mostly
used for creating a set of motions for games or perhaps to use in
NLA), you're really in the minority here.
For the most part, fake users just lead to heaps of "dangling" actions
in files which newbies (and even experienced users) may often be
unaware of. Since Fake Users are really more of an "opt-in" system
everywhere else (i.e. when creating Material Libraries), the same
should applied for Actions and creating Action Libraries.

This is just a more formalised version of a local hack I've been
running locally for the past year now. It's especially useful when you
want to maintain your own set of recently opened test files (or
perhaps current project files), but then be able to quickly open some
.blend files downloaded from the web (i.e. checking out some bug
report, or how someone else sets up some node setup) without
loosing/polluting your existing recent files list as a result of doing
so, and having to either resort to some nasty methods to get it back.
Of course, this is still really hacky, as for instance, it means that
the currently opened file will not show up in the recent files list
for quick reload. However, that's why this is a userpref :)
Made my 3 new buttons only appear in weight paint mode when there are vertex groups present
in properties_data_mesh.py
I took the now redundant check box out of properties_data_mesh.py
I took out unnecessary code (resulting from copy/paste) from my lock all, unlock all, and invert all functions of object/object_vgroup.c
(and I got rid of a new line in paint_vertex.c :) )
Using this feature, it is now possible to for example have different
noise-profiles for different parts of a curve, which makes it possible
to do animate camera shake for example.
Or perhaps, for having greater control of mixing and matching
different parts of F-Modifier effects, such as combining several
generator modifiers to get multi-case functions for instance.

masks.html for details.
Now I think we are all good. We still have a few actuators that were using TOGN before but that I didn't make as negative_boolean.
All fixed now:
- parent actuator
- edit object actuator
- action actuator
- shape actuator
