This reverts commit 1ed1f2f3ab.
Waiting 10 seconds to change view isn't practical.
Further it expose issues where users can attempt to activate tools during view motion,
Some work, others give issues, this just isn't going to be properly supported.
View animation features are fine, but this isn't the purpose of the smooth-view option.
- Add blentranslation `BLT_*` module.
- moved & split `BLF_translation.h` into (`BLT_translation.h`, `BLT_lang.h`).
- moved `BLF_*_unifont` functions from `blf_translation.c` to new source file `blf_font_i18n.c`.
Implements "Auto-offset" (called "insert offset" in code) feature for Node Editor, developed during and after LSOC :)
Idea and sponsoring by Sebastian König, blendFX, Mathias Eimann, Mikavaa, Knick Design
When you drop a node with at least one input and one output socket onto a an existing connection between two nodes, Auto-offset will, depending on the direction setting, automatically and animated move the left or right and all of its following nodes away to make room for the new node.
The direction for offsetting can be toggled while you are moving the node by pressing „T“.
The auto-offset is enabled by default but can be disabled in the header of the node-editor. The offset margin can be changed in the editing section of the User Preferences.
Thanks a lot to the sponsors, and especially to Sebastian who helped *a lot* with this. That's how users can help developing Blender!
This commit contains all the remained parts needed for initial integration of
OpenSubdiv into Blender's subdivision surface code. Includes both GPU and CPU
backends which works in the following way:
- When SubSurf modifier is the last in the modifiers stack then GPU pipeline
of OpenSubdiv is used, making viewport performance as fast as possible.
This also requires graphscard with GLSL 1.5 support. If this requirement is
not met, then no GPU pipeline is used at all.
- If SubSurf is not a last modifier or if DerivesMesh is being evaluated for
rendering then CPU limit evaluation API from OpenSubdiv is used. This only
replaces the legacy evaluation code from CCGSubSurf_legacy, but keeps CCG
structures exactly the same as they used to be for ages now.
This integration is fully covered with ifdef and not enabled by default
because there are several TODOs to be solved first:
- Face varying data interpolation is not really cleanly implemented for GPU
in OpenSubdiv 3.0. It is also not implemented for limit evaluation API.
This basically means we'll have really hard time supporting UVs.
- Limit evaluation only works with adaptivly subdivided meshes so far, which
basically means all the points of CCG are pushed to the limit. This gives
different result from old code.
- There are some serious optimizations possible on the topology refiner
creation, which would speed up initial OpenSubdiv mesh creation.
- There are some hardcoded asumptions in the GPU and DerivedMesh areas which
could be generalized.
That's something where Antony and Campbell can help, making it so the code
is structured in a way which is reusable by all planned viewport projects.
- There are also some workarounds in the dependency graph to make sure OpenGL
buffers are only freed from the main thread.
Those who'll be wanting to make experiments with this code should grab dev
branch (NOT master) from
https://github.com/Nazg-Gul/OpenSubdiv/tree/dev
There are some patches applied in there which we're working on on getting
into upstream.
Remove legacy code completely, now dyntopo, multires et al even work on
GL 1.1 for really hardcore users :p
Real purpose here though is to be able to have fast multires drawing
even with VBO off, since it requires using indices for vertex buffers.
Also made own code elf puke an eaten normal update function which
made multires not update normals in solid mode...sorry.
team.
There are 3 options here:
1) Keep range (previous behaviour)
2) Seconds - allows a specified offset in seconds around current frame
3) keyframes - zoom to include a number of keyframes around the cursor
Options 2 and 3 have their own properties to tweak the behaviour and all
options can be found in User Preferences->Interface under the 2D
viewports section.
Number 3 will probably need some refinement so commiting here for the
hwoozeberry team to test first.
Our current keymap doesn't give us enough room to make such changes in
the event system. To fix small issues caused by this, we would need to do
drastic changes in Blender's keymaps and internal handling. It was worth
a try, but it didn't work.
I can write down a more descriptive statement in a few days, but for now
I need a break of this stuff.

Missing Bits
============
First rule of Multi-View bug report: If something is not working as it should *when Views is off* this is a severe bug, do mention this in the report.
Second rule is, if something works *when Views is off* but doesn't (or crashes) when *Views is on*, this is a important bug. Do mention this in the report.
Everything else is likely small todos, and may wait until we are sure none of the above is happening.
Apart from that there are those known issues:
* Compositor Image Node poorly working for Multi-View OpenEXR
(this was working prefectly before the 'Use Multi-View' functionality)
* Selecting camera from Multi-View when looking from camera is problematic
* Animation Playback (ctrl+F11) doesn't support stereo formats
* Wrong filepath when trying to play back animated scene
* Viewport Rendering doesn't support Multi-View
* Overscan Rendering
* Fullscreen display modes need to warn the user
* Object copy should be aware of views suffix

Short description:
With this we can distinguish between holding and tabbing a key. Useful
is this if we want to assign to operators to a single shortcut. If two
operators are assigned to one shortcut, we call this a sticky key.
More info is accessible through the design task and the diff.

* Sean Olson for stressing me with this burden ;) - It is his enthusiasm
that pushed me forward to get this done

OpenGL is detected:
Hoping to decrease the frequency of by far one of the most frequent bug
reports by windows users.
There is some reorganization of the GHOST API to allow easy addition of
further OpenGL options in the future. The change is not propagated too
deep to keep the size of the patch managable. We might reorganize things
here later.
For OpenGL we do two checks here:
One is a combination of GDI generic renderer or vendor microsoft
corporation and OpenGL version 1.1. This means the system does not
use GPU acceleration at all. We warn user to install a graphics
driver and of cases where this might happen (remote connection, using
blender through virtual machine)
The other one just checks if OpenGL version is less than 1.4 (we can
easily change that in the future of course) and warns that it is
deprecated.
Both cases will still let blender startup correctly but users should now
have a clear idea of the system being unsupported.
A user preference flag is provided to turn the warning off.
Now stop posting those bug reports without installing a driver first -
please?
* Rename "emboss" to "widget_emboss"
* Remove duplicated UI_GetThemeColor4ubv function
I made sure version bump and Save User Settings are working correctly ;P
This is mainly to address old issue when one need to have SDL library installed
in order to use our official builds. Some hip distros already installs SDL,
but it's not quite the same across all the variety of the distros.
We also now switching to SDL-2.0, most of the distros have it in repositories
already, so it shouldn't be huge deal to install it if needed.

This adds a theme option for the embossing of UI widgets. By doing this users have much greater flexibility for creating nice themes. Previously many themes (particularly dark ones) looked quite bad due to the very obvious emboss. This made simpler, flat-style themes very challenging.

The nodes wire was using 'TH_HEADER' flag to get its color and thus would be in sync with the header. Now make it so it uses its 'own' flag (actually 'TH_SYNTAX_R', the only TH_SYNTAX_* which wasn't yet used by the nodes).
Also expose the setting to the user so it can be themified.

This commit adds a confirm threshold property to pie menus.
Basically, this will confirm the pie menu automatically when
the distance from the center of the pie exceeds that threshold without
a need to release the pie button.
The confirm threshold will only work if it is larger than the pie
threshold.
The confirmation actually occur when the mouse stops moving, to
allow multiple pie menus to be better linked together, (see below)
This functionality also facilitates the ability for chained pie menus by
dragging. Basically, a pie menu item can be a call_menu_pie operator and
the new pie menu will still use the original pie menu release event for
confirmation. This should allow for quick, gesture based navigation in
pie menu hierarchies (going back in the hierarchy is still not supported
though)
There will be a demonstration pie in the official add-on soon
quit.blend.
This will use a slower file write if an object is in edit or sculpt
mode.
Autosaving will explicitly not be supported to keep it fast.
Added a tooltip warning.
On 4k devices the default pixel size leads to tiny OpenGL drawing
that is hardly usable without doubling the DPI. The retina system
on OSX aims to alleviate this problem by introducing a general 2x
pixel size.
No equivalent feature exists on other platforms so far. However,
to emulate the effect this patch introduces a "virtual" pixel size
factor for OpenGL drawing.
Note that the user currently has to enable this manually by selecting
the "Virtual Pixel Mode" in the user preferences (defaults to native).
All windows of a Blender instance share the same virtual pixel size as well.
It may be possible to handle this on a per-window basis and automate
the selection somewhat (if enabled by the user), so working with
multiple screens becomes more convenient, but technical limitations
make this a bit difficult (on X11 with nvidia drivers the actual screen size
is not reported correctly).

This commit merges the code in the pie-menu branch.
As per decisions taken the last few days, there are no pie menus
included and there will be an official add-on including overrides of
some keys with pie menus. However, people will now be able to use the
new code in python.
