This commit integrates the work done so far on the new dependency graph system,
where goal was to replace legacy depsgraph with the new one, supporting loads of
neat features like:
- More granular dependency relation nature, which solves issues with fake cycles
in the dependencies.
- Move towards all-animatable, by better integration of drivers into the system.
- Lay down some basis for upcoming copy-on-write, overrides and so on.
The new system is living side-by-side with the previous one and disabled by
default, so nothing will become suddenly broken. The way to enable new depsgraph
is to pass `--new-depsgraph` command line argument.
It's a bit early to consider the system production-ready, there are some TODOs
and issues were discovered during the merge period, they'll be addressed ASAP.
But it's important to merge, because it's the only way to attract artists to
really start testing this system.
There are number of assorted documents related on the design of the new system:
* http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:Aligorith/GSoC2013_Depsgraph#Design_Documents
* http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:Nazg-gul/DependencyGraph
There are also some user-related information online:

* http://code.blender.org/2015/03/more-dependency-graph-tricks/
Kudos to everyone who was involved into the project:
- Joshua "Aligorith" Leung -- design specification, initial code
- Lukas "lukas_t" Toenne -- integrating code into blender, with further fixes
- Sergey "Sergey" "Sharybin" -- some mocking around, trying to wrap up the
project and so
- Bassam "slikdigit" Kurdali -- stressing the new system, reporting all the
issues and recording/writing documentation.
- Everyone else who i forgot to mention here :)

Really doesn't look like a bug on a first glance but the line of code
that was there previously seemed to be there to prevent the manipulator
from drawing in this case.
editors.
Reporter used a hacky work-around by placing cursor at end of keyframe
range and doing ctrl-C ctrl-V repeatedly. This was working on 2.73 but
not anymore since the old selection is not kept.
Much better is to have duplication operator be repeatable. This commit
takes care of that.
Transforming the center after transforming a handle would continuously
flush an extra offset to the handles.
Also use normalization range of -1.0 to 1.0 instead of -0.5 to 0.5 (not
really important, just for better comparisons)
There are a few things here which are not so nice:
* Position of proportional edit circle is not centered on data
(difficult to predict positions here since those are completely custom,
will probably be positioned at center of area later instead)
* Result is flushed to curve handles only at the end of the transform,
so if people have the graph editor open they will see handles lagging behind.
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.
extruding
More practical description of the bug: extruding with ctrl to use
snapping and confirming the action added another extrusion to the mouse
position.
This was caused from the second event that is now sent if a key release
happens within the click timeout. It triggers the "Extrude to Cursor"
operator since it is called by CTRL+LMB wich is exactly the event that
is sent in this case.
I'm not totally happy with this workaround since it changes the Confirm/
Abort event for all transformation actions to key release which *might*
result in more conflicts (fingers crossed this isn't the case). If this
happens we might need to write some special transformation handling for
extrusion.
This is an example of the difficulties we get from loading too much
functions on the same keys - we need to be careful with that!
This works by using the distance in the x axis only (usually artists want to influence nearby
keyframes based on timing, not value). Tweaking handles is the same as tweaking
the central handle. It's a bit ambiguous if proportional editing is really meaningful
for handles but will leave that for artists to decide.
Using the standard "FCurve" animchannel type didn't work that well for
the control FCurves on NLA Strips, as the paths would not resolve correctly,
and the indentation was wrong. Also, there would likely be issues down the
track with applying NLA mapping. Hence, it's easier to just create a separate
type for this case, and adapt the rest of the code to also consider these (todo).
New 'strip' snapping was simply not computed in case of constrained transform, hence init
'0' value was used as frame offset in this case.
This commit reorganizes a bit that snapping, to keep it more 'confined' into `snapSequenceBounds()`
dedicated function. It still needs a minor hack (setting snapping mode to something else than
defualt `SCE_SNAP_MODE_INCREMENT`, to avoid this snapping to be called by contraint code).
Thanks to Antony for review and enhancements.
This fix should be backported to 2.74.
Added Shift + Tab for Snap and Ctrl + Shift + Tab for Snap Element Menu (consistent to
3D View)
NOTE: Exit Group is now Ctrl + Tab instead of Shift + Tab
