from Lawrence D'Oliveiro (ldo)
notes from tracker:
use bool for return type from BLI_remlink_safe, necessitating including BLI_utildefines.h in BLI_listbase.h
get rid of duplicate BLI_insertlink, use BLI_insertlinkafter instead.
A few places which were using BLI_insertlinkafter (actually BLI_insertlink), when it would be simpler to use BLI_insertlinkbefore instead.
Also adds DampedTrackTo to the list of supported constraints in the BGE

Patch developed as part of a project to NF-UBC Nereus Program.
Development time 'sponsored' by the project.

The camera actuator only allows to look the object from its front face.
Given that Blender takes -Y as the default forward orientation, the current
functionality doesn't let a camera to track an actor from behind.
This patch allows for -X and -Y axis tracking. This way a camera over the
shoulders of a character is possible (without resorting to rotate the
mesh/armature original orientation.
- patch reviewed by Campbell Barton, thanks

original name: "Allow to change the strenght of the "go behind" constraint of the camera actuator"
The camera actuator is an actuator that drive the camera to follow an object, with a set of constraint.
Currently, when the object followed rotate on himself (like a person, or an helicopter), the camera is really slow to go behind (at least 10 seconds).
This patch gives the UI to tweak the strenght of the 'go behind'[named damping] constraint.

epydocs (rst) updated too
- use NULL rather then 0 where possible (makes code & function calls more readable IMHO).
- set static variables and functions (exposed some unused vars/funcs).
- use func(void) rather then func() for definitions.
After initial talk with Matt (awhile ago) we realzed that rna_api would fit well for this instead of an operator.
The next step would be to move the current UI code to use the rna funcs instead.
Note: it takes the s/c/a as argument, not its name. (e.g. cont.link(actuator=act) )
Sample code to link all the logic bricks between each other:
ob = bpy.context.object
for cont in ob.game.controllers:
for sens in ob.game.sensors:
cont.link(sensor=sens)
for act in ob.game.actuators:
cont.link(actuator=act)
For a script to create bricks, link bricks, unlink bricks and remove them:

Tchatcharantcharan ...
Three new operators:
bpy.ops.logic.sensor_move
bpy.ops.logic.controller_move
bpy.ops.logic.actuator_move
direction is a parameter (UP,DOWN)
Moved some interface code to sca.c instead of logic_window.c. (and changed accordingly).
One note: as in 2.49, the move up/down button is only available in non-expanded mode. However instead of one button with two options we have 2 buttons (as we had originally in 2.50).
That also means the s/c/a header is getting more clunky. Design, thoughts, ideas are appreciated. For the time been functionality back is still the priority (mine at least ;)
there are some cases (i.e. Constraint Actuator) where the same DNA property is being used by different RNAs with different ranges.
It's easy to change (reset the values to their default in the set func of the constrant type rna).
Not sure it's necessary though.
Make local and make single user are back for ID template.
Internally these calls got unified, id_make_local and
id_copy are now used to do these operations for all types
that support it. Also reveals that for some ID types the
implementation is still missing.
Further, some small changes:
* unlink_text is now in blenkernel.
* copy_group was implemented.
* ID template now has an open operator again.
* fix preview to not change material reference count,
even if temporary it shows up with threaded preview.
* id_unlink unifies unlink for text, object and group.
svn merge https://svn.blender.org/svnroot/bf-blender/trunk/blender -r19820:HEAD
Notes:
* Game and sequencer RNA, and sequencer header are now out of date
a bit after changes in trunk.
* I didn't know how to port these bugfixes, most likely they are
not needed anymore.
* Fix "duplicate strip" always increase the user count for ipo.
* IPO pinning on sequencer strips was lost during Undo.
svn merge https://svn.blender.org/svnroot/bf-blender/trunk/blender -r12987:17416
Issues:
* GHOST/X11 had conflicting changes. Some code was added in 2.5, which was
later added in trunk also, but reverted partially, specifically revision
16683. I have left out this reversion in the 2.5 branch since I think it is
needed there.
http://projects.blender.org/plugins/scmsvn/viewcvs.php?view=rev&root=bf-blender&revision=16683
* Scons had various conflicting changes, I decided to go with trunk version
for everything except priorities and some library renaming.
* In creator.c, there were various fixes and fixes for fixes related to the -w
-W and -p options. In 2.5 -w and -W is not coded yet, and -p is done
differently. Since this is changed so much, and I don't think those fixes
would be needed in 2.5, I've left them out.
* Also in creator.c: there was code for a python bugfix where the screen was not
initialized when running with -P. The code that initializes the screen there
I had to disable, that can't work in 2.5 anymore but left it commented as a
reminder.
Further I had to disable some new function calls. using src/ and python/, as
was done already in this branch, disabled function calls:
* bpath.c: error reporting
* BME_conversions.c: editmesh conversion functions.
* SHD_dynamic: disabled almost completely, there is no python/.
* KX_PythonInit.cpp and Ketsji/ build files: Mathutils is not there, disabled.
* text.c: clipboard copy call.
* object.c: OB_SUPPORT_MATERIAL.
* DerivedMesh.c and subsurf_ccg, stipple_quarttone.
Still to be done:
* Go over files and functions that were moved to a different location but could
still use changes that were done in trunk.
