entered explicitly, bypassing the ui limit.
NOTE: this only applies to newly added nodes. For legacy reasons the limit values are stored directly in each socket, so changing them for existing nodes would require a do_versions, seems unnecessary
for such a minor change.
* Render Passes are now available for Subsurface Scattering (Direct, Indirect and Color pass).
This is part of my GSoC project, SVN merge of r58587, r58828 and r58835.
* Added a node to convert a temperature in Kelvin to an RGB color. This can be used e.g. for lights, to easily find the right color temperature.
= Some common temperatures =
Candle light: 1500 Kelvin
Sunset/Sunrise: 1850 Kelvin
Studio lamps: 3200 Kelvin
Horizon daylight: 5000 Kelvin

Thanks to Philipp Oeser (lichtwerk), who essentially contributed to this with a patch! :)
This is part of my GSoC 2013 project. SVN merge of r57424, r57487, r57507, r57525, r58253 and r58774
* Added a Ray Depth output to the Light Path node, which gives the user access to the current bounce.
This can be used to limit the maximum ray bounce on a per shader basis. Another use case is to restrict light influence with this, to have a lamp only contribute to the direct lighting.

actually just point to existing defined stack values. To make the link check work, set the socket->link pointer if internal node connections exist, this works for both muted and reroute nodes.
necessary.
Problem was/is that the nodes can set the 'type' property, but in order to actually change the data type they would also need to update the typeinfo pointer (and idname), which is strongly discouraged.
Solution is to just replace the input/output sockets of the reroute node with new sockets of the desired type and port all links over.
- memset() was argument was truncated.
- outliner had redundant NULL check.
- node texture was allocating memory to make a unique name which isnt needed for a fixed size string.
texture coordinate that should automatically use the default normal or texture
coordinate appropriate for that node, rather than some fixed value specified by
the user.
* First step towards a new vector transform node, to convert Points/Vectors between World/Object/Camera space.
This only contains the Blender UI, RNA... code, no Cycles integration yet.
* First (brute force) implementation for SVM. This works and delivers the same result as OSL, but it's slow.
* Code inside svm_blackbody.h inspired by a patch by Philipp Oeser (#35698), thanks.
Ideas:
* Use a lookup table to perform the calculations on render/ level.
* Implement it as a RNA property only, and do the calculation like Sun/Sky precompute.
proposal was to add another special init hack for the viewer node->id, but rather would do it right and so moved all the special init hacks for constant ID backpointers (Scene for RenderLayer, Composite,
Defocus, FileOutput and MovieClip for MovieClip, MovieDistortion and Stabilization nodes). These are now part of the local init callbacks functions of the appropriate nodes, using the new initfunc_api
callback which takes a Context pointer, so they have access to Scene.
* Added a node to convert wavelength (in nanometers, from 380nm to 780nm) to RGB values. This can be useful to match real world colors easier.
* Code cleanup:
** Moved color functions (xyz and hsv) into dedicated utility files.
** Remove svm_lerp(), use interp() instead.

ToDo:
* Move some functions into an util file, maybe a common util_color.h or so.
* Test GPU, unfortunately sm_21 doesn't work for me yet.
* Use unified node sizes, as already was done with compositor nodes. Only Mapping node uses a custom size. This way we don't have too small nodes on creation anymore.
* Don't show Script Category for Blender Internal nodes.
give results that were either too weak or too strong, this makes it give more
predictable results. The downside is that it breaks backwards compatibility but
the previous behavior was almost broken.
