The render pipeline has been extended to better work with
Freestyle stroke rendering. Struct Render has a new member
ListBase freestyle_renders to keep Render instances generated
through stroke rendering in Freestyle. The number of
elements (LinkData instances with LinkData::data pointing to a
Render instance) in freestyle_renders is the same as the scene
render layers of the scene being rendered. When the k-th scene
render layer has the Freestyle option enabled, the k-th element
of freestyle_renders refers to a Render instance that holds
Freestyle render results for the scene layer. This association
between the scene render layer and the Render instance is used to
merge the Freestyle render results into the corresponding render
results for the scene render layer.
if compositing, sequencer, fields, etc should be rendered, or if the
render does that itself. The weak point is that this only applies to
rendering, so if you open the compositor, it will still run on the
rendered result. Enabled by default, set to False to disable.
* Viewer node could free image while it is being redrawn, viewer image
buffers now need acquire/release to be accessed as was already the
case for render results.
* The Composite node could free the image buffers outside of a lock,
also causing simultaneous redraw to crash.
* Especially on Windows, re-rendering could crash when drawing an image
that was freed. When RE_RenderInProgress was true it would access the
image buffer and simply return it while it could still contain a pointer
to a render result buffer that was already freed. I don't understand
why this case was there in the first place, so I've removed it.
Possibly fixes bugs #20174, #21418, #21391, #21394.
because the mipmap was not being refreshed. Also this will be problematic
to support when I add tile/mipmap cache, so would not rather not try to.
Can be added back afterwards if someone wants to make it work.
* Fixed up RNA and UI
* Brought back 'Save' and 'Clear' operators (in the little triangle menu in
environment map properties)
* While I was at it, noticed that environment maps were only using 8bit
colour, changed it to use full 32bit float instead for proper HDR colour etc,
so environment map reflections have the correct colour range

rendering.
RE_BlenderFrame() and RE_BlenderAnim() are Blender's internal
top-level rendering API functions for a single frame and a series of
frames, respectively. These functions rely on global variables to
keep render pipeline states. Freestyle's stroke rendering was also
using RE_BlenderFrame to render a temporary scene of stroke meshes.
These nested calls of the top-level rendering API functions were
causing broken render pipeline states and eventually led to a crash.
This commit is intended to fix the issue, by introducing an rendering
API function RE_RenderFreestyleStrokes specifically used for stroke
rendering in Freestyle. The new function does not do anything with
regard to the global variables in the rendering API implementation.
* Remove the manual OSA method but rather pass on derivatives to the
textures. This means that at the moment e.g. the bricks node is not
antialiased, but that image textures are now using mipmaps. Doing
oversampling on the whole nodetree is convenient but it is really
the individual textures that can do filtering best and quickest.
* Image textures in a texture node tree were not color corrected and
did not support 2d mapping, now it's passing along shadeinput to
make this possible. Would like to avoid this but not sure how.
* Fix preview not filling in all pixels when scaling or rotating in
the texture nodes.
Transparent strokes are rendered by means of transparent vertex colors.
To make this possible, Blender's internal renderer has been slightly
extended to allow transparent vertex colors. When Material::vcol_alpha
is non-zero, the renderer takes MCol::a into account.
