Blender's import function check's the Text datablocks in main for additional modules for importing. However, libloaded scenes were 1) not loading Text datablocks and 2) not letting bpy know about them. Text datablocks are now loaded if a Scene is loaded and bpy can now looking through extra Mains to find additional modules.
===============================================
This patch adds a new "Character" BGE physics type which uses Bullet's btKinematicCharacter for simulation instead of full-blown dynamics. It is appropiate for (player-controlled) characters, for which the other physics types often result unexpected results (bouncing off walls, sliding etc.) and for which simple kinematics offers much more precision.
"Character" can be chosen like any other physics type in the "Physics" section of the properties window. Current settings for tweaking are "Step Height" (to make the object automatically climb small steps if it collides with them), "Fall Speed" (the maximum speed that the object can have when falling) and "Jump Speed", which is currently not used.
See http://projects.blender.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=127&aid=28476&group_id=9
for sample blends and a discussion on the patch: how to use it and what influences the behavior of the character object.
Known problem: there is a crash if the "compound" option is set in the physics panel of the Character object.
** I did not update rst docs. I will post on the quick-hack list. If no one volunteers to do it, I have it done before next release. **
this patch add the barebone functions to do glsl shaders in an addon.
For simplicity sakes it supports old GLSL, but not all the new modern methods (glBindFragDataLocation, ...).
It should be enough to make an addon to help with bge 2d filters.
I'm using this with a 3dview callback and it's working nicely:
self._handle = context.region.callback_add(draw_callback_px, (self, context), 'POST_VIEW')
I was considering not to commit this patch due to it not covering all OpenGL new methods.
But frankly it's not the first time bgl is expanded upon individual needs (guilty of that myself).
If a python developer knows enough to use OpenGL and need new functions, s/he should also be able to patch Blender for that,
so I see no problems here.
Another solution is to move to PyOpenGL or similar any soon.
glShaderSource implemented differently than opengl standards. It's taking one source at a time (instead of an array of sources).
This is similar with PyOpenGL solution.

this report exposed multiple bugs in blender when using a non utf8 compatible home directory.
- bpy.utils.script_paths() would crash when homedir wasn't utf8 (reported bug)
- PyC_DefaultNameSpace() - would raise an error when running when __file__ was non utf8.
- preset filepath property was not set to accept non utf8.
- bpy.paths.display_name would raise an error on non utf8 paths, (used for preset draw)
* C: BM_vert_separate(...)
* py: bmesh.utils.vert_separate(vert, edges)
This splits off regions around the vertex, splitting on connected edges passed in a sequence.
also made minor changes
- rename python api functions _rip to _separate
- fixed bmesh iterator being iterable its self (some parts of python expect this)
- fix memory leak in bmesh python api.
* add BLI_rfindlink for reverse index lookup (used so bm.select_history[-1] doesn't have to loop the entire list twice).
* add bm.select_history.active so you can get the last selected item or None without having to check seq length.
This commit extends limit of ID and objects to 64 (it means 63 meaning
characters and 1 for zero-terminator). CustomData layers names are also
extended.
Changed DNA structures and all places where length constants were hardcoded.
All names which are "generating" from ID block should be limited by MAX_ID_NAME-2,
all non-id names now has got own define called MAX_NAME which should be used all
over for non-id names to make further name migration stuff easier.
All name fields in DNA now have comment with constant which corresponds to
hardcoded numeric value which should make it easier to further update this
limits or even switch to non-hardcoded values in DNA.
Special thanks to Campbell who helped figuring out some issues and helped a lot
in finding all cases where hardcoded valued were still used in code.
Both of forwards and backwards compatibility is stored with blender versions newer
than January 5, 2011. Older versions had issue with placing null-terminator to
DNA strings on file load which will lead to some unpredictable behavior or even
crashes.

Tracker description
*******************
The current python noise module included with Blender has yet to be updated to the new Py API. This patch does so, with the following major points:
- The noise module has now been moved to a submodule of mathutils, it can be accessed by mathutils.noise. It was moved from it's own module as it will now return mathutils types and also have greater visibility to the user.
- All functions which return vectors will now return mathutils.Vector types to be consistent with the rest of the API. Previously (x, y, z) tuples were returned.
- A different implementation of random_unit_vector is now used, this allows 2D, 3D and 4D vectors to be returned. Previously only 3D was possible.
- Some function names have been changed to remove ambiguities and make naming consistent within the module. noise.vector is now noise.noise_vector and noise.vl_vector is now noise.variable_lacunarity
- Doc strings have been updated to be compatible with auto docs.
- Code style and internal naming has been changed to match the conventions in other mathutils code.
Thanks,
Andrew
