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.
This is for bug #28141
While not really a bug, it makes it a lot easyer to use if it
has the exension. (Isn't hidden from the user when they try to load it...)
Kent
Enabled by default and also enabled for older filesm so
there should be no regressions.
In some cases it's useful to not use subdivided uvs for multires.
- 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.
vector * matrix
vector *= matrix
vector * quaternion
vector *= quaternion
Use the reverse order instead, enable WITH_ASSERT_ABORT in cmake to promote the warnings into errors.
* Fixed an error when "Custom" was used and the path was empty (variable reference before assignment)
* The Operator now raises an error if there is no path or the path given is not available.
* Added back icon to open the Splash Screen in the info header, next to version string info.
* Removed an unnecessary toggle argument for particle mode select buttons. The Toggle argument is only intended for booleans, not enums.
