Orbiting the view while in camera mode now starts from the camera view rather then switching back to the last user 3d view settings.
* I added this some years back but it was rejected, however it was requested today for durian because with set scenes its not always easy to select whats infront of the camera to navigate to it.
Its possible to end up in an annoying situation where you are looking at the main characters head (in a set scene), but when you orbit the view, the camera jumps 500+ BU away and you need to manually navigate back to what you were just looking at.
* If a user wants to go back to the view they had before entering the camera view they can still press Numpad zero which toggles.
* Path drawing now works for non hair particles.
* Should fix the following bugs too:
[#21316] Hair weight drawing is wrong
[#21923] Consistent Crash When Rendering Particle Scene.
[#21950] Path rendering option for particles causes crash
- #22155: keyframe dots not shown on path for bone keyframes that aren't in a group with a matching name. Since this situation is going to become more common in 2.5, I've added an option which will alternatively just search the entire action to find all F-Curves associated with bones. The old option is still the default though for the general cases.
- When keyframe drawing is enabled, the current frame will also be indicated on the path now as a (bigger) green dot, as requested by William. This makes it easier to see the position on the path on the current frame.
note: Im not all that happy with where this feature is going in terms of readability, however preview renders are very distracting when physics meshes and bounding boxes are animating over the top of characters.
Allow dropping image files from outside blender, or image datablocks from inside blender
to the compositing node editor, to add an image node.
Also small tweak: Only set 'path' properties on drops, if the drag->path isn't empty.
Added ability to drag images and movies directly onto objects to assign them as textures.
You can drag them from the file browser, directly from the OS or even from other apps. Here's a video to demonstrate:

Ton wanted to show me how to add it, but he ended up doing almost all of the coding himself ;)
Ton/Matt: Dropping a text file in the Text Editor fails for some reason. It aught to work - probably a keymap conflict of some sorts?
Curve->lastselbp field was renamed to Curve->lastsel and now not last
either BPoint or BezTriple is storing here. It's not easy to determine
type of selected point, but operator which depends on such point reviews
the full nurbs, so this shouldn't be a problem.
Made changes to curve undo stuff to restore last selected point on undo/redo.
Added new theme color for curve last selected point.
* Division by zero fix for TNT SVD code.
* Sound fix, in case ffmpeg decode fails, don't use the samples.
* Fix for incorrect bounds of transformed objects in new raytracing code.
* Gave memory arena's a name used for allocations for easier memory
usage debugging.
* Dupligroup no_draw option was using layers but not restrict view/render
setting. (not a bugfix exactly but would do display list context switching
while drawing for no reason).
* Fix objects instanced on hair particles not giving consistent results
when the object is transformed.
* New math functions: madd_v4_v4fl, len_squared_v3v3, interp_v4_v4v4v4,
mul_v4_m4v4, SH and form factor functions, box_minmax_bounds_m4.
* mul_m4_m4m4 and mul_m3_m3m3 now accept the same pointers for multiple
arguments.
* endjob callback for WM jobs system.
* Geometry node uv/color layer now has search list/autocomplete.
* Various small buildsystem tweaks, not strictly needed yet in trunk.
- Disallow this and report a warning in the console when it happens.
- File selector operators now report in the global report console.
- Cleared some warnings.
