Diff Keymaps
User edited keymaps now no longer override the builtin keymaps entirely, but
rather save only the difference and reapply those changes. This means they can
stay better in sync when the builtin keymaps change. The diff/patch algorithm
is not perfect, but better for the common case where only a few items are changed
rather than entire keymaps The main weakness is that if a builtin keymap item
changes, user modification of that item may need to be redone in some cases.
Keymap Editor
The most noticeable change here is that there is no longer an "Edit" button for
keymaps, all are editable immediately, but a "Restore" buttons shows for keymaps
and items that have been edited. Shortcuts for addons can also be edited in the
keymap editor.
Addons
Addons now should only modify the new addon keyconfiguration, the keymap items
there will be added to the builtin ones for handling events, and not get lost
when starting new files. Example code of register/unregister:
km = wm.keyconfigs.addon.keymaps.new("3D View", space_type="VIEW_3D")
km.keymap_items.new('my.operator', 'ESC', 'PRESS')
km = wm.keyconfigs.addon.keymaps["3D View"]
km.keymap_items.remove(km.keymap_items["my.operator"])
Compatibility
The changes made are not forward compatible, i.e. if you save user preferences
with newer versions, older versions will not have key configuration changes that
were made.
- added menu templates
- move template menu into the header of the text editor (so users will find more easily)
- updated mathutils examples, switching the order of multiplication.
blender_add_lib now takes a separate include argument to suppress warnings in system includes (mostly ffmpeg & python).
also only build wm_apple.c on apple+carbon configuration.
Patch to make the radial control more generic with RNA. Patch was
reviewed here: http://codereview.appspot.com/4280080/
Prior to this update, the radial control code in trunk had generic
parts of the radial control implemented as an incomplete operator
within WM. Then each different user of the radial control had to
implement a separate operator to actually pass in specific brush data
-- e.g. sculpt's brush size, vpaint's brush size, etc.
This patch removes all the extra operators and makes the WM operator
do everything. It now takes several RNA path strings as its properties
-- the only required property is data_path, which specifies the data
to be modified by the radial control. The other paths affect display
in various ways, e.g. rotation, color, etc.
In addition to decreasing some duplicate paint brush code, these
updates make it pretty easy to enable radial control for other
purposes (and it can be set up entirely though python or keymaps, no
extra C code needed.)
- added notes to release todo's.
- renamed view3d view transform matching functions.
- added assert in edge split modifier to make a certain bug easier to spot.
- allow building blenderplayer with redcode.
- when ffmpeg is enabled remove strict compiler errors for imbuf and blenkernel since its hard to avoid these warnings across ffmpeg versions.
discussed with Janne, Ton, Nathan and we agreed this kind of change at least needs discussion with module owners.
Its also too close to release to be making these kinds of changes.
commands used:
# reverse merge
svn merge -r36073:36072 .
# for some reason this gave a lot of property changes
svn revert `svn st | grep "^ M" | awk '{print $2}'`
# reverse merging didn't work here, removing while dir.
svn rm extern/eltopo/
# manually fixed conflict in
# ./source/blenderplayer/CMakeLists.txt
#
# also manually removed 2 lines from
# ./CMakeLists.txt
Plugged the eltopo library into the cloth solver.
I was playing with it earlier, and it's so easy to
use I decided to quickly put it in (trunk's) cloth.
See http://www.cs.ubc.ca/labs/imager/tr/2009/eltopo/eltopo.html
. The authors are on the bleeding edge of continuous collision
detection (one of them did ILM's cloth sim).
I
don't really have to time to plug it into softbody, particles,
bullet, fluid, etc, but doing so would be pretty straightforward.
I'll leave that up to someone else.
To use, turn on USE_ELTOPO (in cmake) or WITH_BF_ELTOPO in scons.
