More Modifier API changes:
* add Blender.Modifier.Settings dict with constants for modifier types
* add mod.type attribute, which returns type of the Modifier
* add some internal consistency checks in ModSeq_remove
New Ipo and IpoCurve API. Ipo and IpoCurve objects support the [] operator,
for accessing the curves of a particular Ipo and for accessing the value
of an IpoCurve at a specific time. Both modules were also "tp_getset"-ified.
Also, code for an alternative method (Antont wanted this) of accessing curves
via Ipo attributes is included for now, for people to try and see if it's
actually preferable to the Ipo [] operator.
These are all new additions; nothing was intentionally removed from the API.
If you find the something in the existing API has changed, let me know.
oblivious of each other, so setting/clearing the face edit mode select status
did not set/clear the corresponding vertex select statuses. This patch makes
a change of any select status recalculate the selection state of all edges an
faces. One unresolved issue is what effect this should have on the recent
edge mesh's stored selection. Currently changing the selection state will
delete store selection info, but it may be desirable to emulate the stored
selection (but I need to discuss how this should work in more depth with
Geoffrey Bantle).
As an added bonus (while I was messing with this), I added a "sel" attribute
to edges so they are the same as faces and vert.
This is very confusing.
Since in object has
ob.setDupliGroup() # Enable/Disable Dupligroup
ob.getDupliGroup() # see if its enabled.
ob.dupliGroup # the group data this object is instancing.
Not yet added
ob.groups # Groups that use this object.
A bug fix and an enhancement:
* fixed bug when adding or deleting faces from a mesh which has
vertexColors; mesh->mcol was not being updated
* changed edges.extend() and faces.extend() to accept integer vertex
indices in addition to MVerts; this should make scripts simpler and
in general make things run faster
Additions to BezTriple API: complete get/set access to all BezTriple settings
(knot and handles points, handle types, tilt/alfa, hide, weight and selection
status).
Made some fixes and changes.
* The matricies returned were wrapped. Wrapping Display Mesh matricies segfaulted sometimes. - Made a copy instead.
* Added 1 missing epydoc from the patch.
* Renamed getDupliMatrices to getDupliObjects, and changed to return a list of (object, matrix) tuples instead of just the matrix. This is much more usefull because it allows python to know what objects are used for dupliGroups and for dupliverts where there is more then 1 child. also cleaned up this function a bit.
Allow object.setMatrix() to accept 3x3 matrices by extending to a 4x4
internally. Also check the dimensions of the new matrix and throw an
exception if not a 3x3 or 4x4.
Three more changes for the Mesh module:
(1) Bug fix for UV vertices ("sticky"). me->msticky was not being updated
when vertices were added or deleted from the mesh.
(2) Vertex, edge and face .extend() methods accept zero-length sequences
instead of throwing an exception. (Note that not giving any argument
is still an error).
(3) Edge and face .extend() methods ignore "invalid" edges or faces which
have the same vertex twice instead of throwing an exception. Cam and I
argued about this for a while... :-)
Ken
- Set local sticky in the uv editor as default.
- Don't do live unwrap on fully selected charts or charts with no pins
selected.
- Fixed bug with live unwrap not respecting transform cancel in some cases.
- "View Home" didn't work without an image.
- Move UV Calculation settings (cube size, cylinder radius, ..) into the scene
toolsettings, instead of global variables
- Remove the name LSCM from the UI (and python docs on seams), and replace it
with 'Unwrap', with upcoming ABF this didn't make sense anymore.
- Move the Old/New LSCM switch into the UV Calculation panel. New LSCM is the
default now. Also renamed LSCM there to "Conformal".
- Made some room in the UV Calculation panel by removing the buttons to execute
the UV calculation, only leaving the settings.
Fill Holes:
- LSCM now has an option to fill holes in the chart before unwrapping. This on
by default, and enables two things:
- Prevent internal overlaps (e.g. eyes, mouth) for LSCM unwrapping.
- Allow the internal boundaries to move freely during stretch minimize.
- The possibility to switch it off is there because it is not always possible
to define which the outer boundary is. For example with an open cylinder
where there are two identical holes.
Bugfix #3660: NMesh.getVertexInfluences() was broken following the changes
to the armature system. Tron Thomas (kudos) came up with a fix that seems
to perform identically to the old method. I'm also adding it to the Mesh
module for compatibility.
Added Mesh.Modes() function, which allows scripts to get/set the selection
mode settings for meshes. This was necessary in order for the mesh tools
such as triangulate, remove doubles, etc., to work properly.
to get the current value of the IPO shape key. There are still some issues
to discuss as to whether methods/attributes should be used and what they
should be named, but this will (or should) be addressed in the upcoming API
rewrite.
- minor: added missing theme options (bone_solid, bone_pose, strip,
strip_select) to Blender.Window.Theme and also updated accordingly
(version info) the script that saves themes as scripts and the module's
doc.
in the BPy API for the "end point". It was a minunderstanding of what
happens with cyclic Ipos, but we updated the documentation to make this
clearer in the future.
Vector.resize4D() didn't put 1 in the 4th component (the scale factor), as it did in 2.37.
While this is more "correct", it is much less usefull. Also, matrix.resize4x4 puts a 1 there too,
so might as well revert and be consistent.
* edge and face extend() methods now add edges and faces in the order given
by their parameters. Note that if duplicate edges or faces are specified,
the order is preserved but the dups are removed, so indices won't match.
* allow extend(), findEdges() and faces.uv to accept lists or tuples
* fix bug in mesh.verts.extend() which didn't correctly check argument types
PupBlock method. This wraps the "clevernumbut" code to allow scripters to use popup blocks for user input instead of a sequence of multiple different popups.

TypeError for pythonCoder error.
RuntimeError for blender not being able to be joined. (Sorry stivs, no BadJuJu yet)
Documented this in the epydocs also.
eg.
ret_val = ob.join(objects)
Now it dosent depend on the current selection, or change the selection context.
Made respective join_* functions return 0 if the join was not mode, 1 when it workes.
Changed Pythons Object.Duplicate() to take keyword parms to enable duplication of spesific data.
Eg- Object.Duplicate(mesh=1) # to duplicate mesh data also.
even though its error messages suggested it did. Thanks to Yann for the
patch (I also added the ability to accept parameters without requiring
them to be in a tuple). Also documented the New() function.
Object.Join()
Seperated the join calls from space.c and view3dmenu into join_menu() in space.c, like the select_group_menu(),
okee's from join_curve, join_mesh.. etc are in join_menu() so python can call them without UI menu's in the way.
this is also a bit neater since there were 2 places that were doing what join_menu() does now.

Object.Duplicate(linked=1)
Basicly a wrapper for adduplicate();
There was previously no easy way to copy objects in python. even the ways that do exist dont take modifiers, particles etc into account.
Uses the current selection.. epydocs included also.
