Now scrollbars correctly hide and show, making space for the actual contents
in a region. It solves several old hacks, and puts view2d code a bit more
back in control as well.
Implementation notes:
- The view2d mask feature is working again
- The #define V2D_SCROLL_HORIZONTAL_HIDE means: "turn on hiding".
- Code for UI_view2d_region_reinit() is enforcing better standard view settings
But... two hack/patches needed to be added:
- Region panel drawing: if after generating the button panels it appears
a scroller hides or reveils, it calls all the generating code again.
(a simple scale doesn't work due to rounding differences in layout code)
- View2d code that maps 'tot' and 'cur' rects: if this code detects that
the mask changes, it calcs the map code again.
Also a bugfix (issue in 2.65)
- The left/bottom area split widget was drawing 1 pixel too large sometimes,
leaving bad trails on moving area dividers.
Very occasionally Timer Events could still get handled, after stopping
a timer - especially with the timer event still in the queue.
This patch disables such events. Introduced a EVENT_NONE to make sure
it gets ignored everywhere.
Nice formatted version (pictures soon):

Short list of main changes:
- Transparent region option (over main region), added code to blend in/out such panels.
- Min size window now 640 x 480
- Fixed DPI for ui - lots of cleanup and changes everywhere. Icon image need correct size still, layer-in-use icon needs remake.
- Macbook retina support, use command line --no-native-pixels to disable it
- Timeline Marker label was drawing wrong
- Trackpad and magic mouse: supports zoom (hold ctrl)
- Fix for splash position: removed ghost function and made window size update after creation immediate
- Fast undo buffer save now adds UI as well. Could be checked for regular file save even...
Quit.blend and temp file saving use this now.
- Dixed filename in window on reading quit.blend or temp saves, and they now add a warning in window title: "(Recovered)"
- New Userpref option "Keep Session" - this always saves quit.blend, and loads on start.
This allows keeping UI and data without actual saves, until you actually save.
When you load startup.blend and quit, it recognises the quit.blend as a startup (no file name in header)
- Added 3D view copy/paste buffers (selected objects). Shortcuts ctrl-c, ctrl-v (OSX, cmd-c, cmd-v).
Coded partial file saving for it. Could be used for other purposes. Todo: use OS clipboards.
- User preferences (themes, keymaps, user settings) now can be saved as a separate file.
Old option is called "Save Startup File" the new one "Save User Settings".
To visualise this difference, the 'save startup file' button has been removed from user preferences window. That option is available as CTRL+U and in File menu still.
- OSX: fixed bug that stopped giving mouse events outside window.
This also fixes "Continuous Grab" for OSX. (error since 2009)
- Screencast: stops working on window resize - crashes movie file output
- Screencast now draws simple brush overlay to indicate mouse cursor.
- Greasepencil now works again to use MMB for view rotates
(and missed proper redraw signal for toolbar, at end of paint)
it work properly - you cannot set/disable it in a running program with windows
open.
In short: Multisample setting is static, set on first time running of Blender,
after reading the user preferences.
For as far as I can see - disabling/enableing (glEnable) doesn't harm to be
used in drawing code. With multisample on at start, you can enable and disable it
freely. But without it set at start, enabling doesn't do anything nor draws badly.
Code to support it was lying around for long already, but not controlled by UI nicely.
Now you have in user preferences "System" tab an option to set it.
NOTE:
- it only works saving as User startup.blend, and restart Blender.
- your system should support it, no check for it is visible in UI
- tested only on iMac OSX 10.7

TIMER events could get keymodifier set - in this case the user assigned
spacebar modifier for setting views (running smoothview timer)
Also: cleaned op old hacks from event checking code.
The rule should be:
1) generate event properly, frozen state
2) pass on to handlers without exceptions or changing internal state
The only exception currently is for the "CLICK" (map key-release to unhandled
key-press).
Also: made --debug-event print OK. Slight cleanup in eventprinting in general.
It was putting the wmEvent state print in wrong place, doing it 4 or 8 times.
Window might be focused by mouse click in configuration of window manager
when focus is not following mouse.
Click could have been done on a button and depending on window manager settings
click would be passed to blender or not, but in any case button under cursor
should be activated. Currently the easiest way to activate button is to
generate mouse move event.
Not sure about OSX, but on windows it worked fine because OS is generating
WM_MOUSEMOVE event "automatically" so nothing special from blender side was
needed.
--debug
--debug-ffmpeg
--debug-python
--debug-events
--debug-wm
This makes debug output easier to read - event debug prints would flood output too much before.
For convenience:
--debug-all turns all debug flags on (works as --debug did before).
also removed some redundant whitespace in debug prints and prefix some prints with __func__ to give some context.
Adds conformation on exit for windows. Needs to be enabled in user perf.
Tried to edit blender.exe.manifest for more modern dialog look, but didn't work out.
Fix this by storing if the border is set - before this was only done for the window dimensions.
also move these variables into a static struct so this logic is easier to follow.
Previous state:
Right now, there are "memories" of the "old" (less than a month!) translation way:
* A few remaining calls to BLF_gettext() (only UI_translate_do_iface and UI_translate_do_tooltip should be used).
* The _() macro still also calls BLF_gettext()!
New state:
Here are the changes made by the patch:
* Removing the no more needed _() macro.
* Removing most N_() and _() calls, only keeping the few needed ones (i.e. strings that are in no other way findable by xgettext and/or update_msg script).
* Defining in UI_interface.h IFACE_() and TIP_() macros (resp. for UI_translate_do_iface and UI_translate_do_tooltip).
* Replacing all calls to BLF_gettext by relevant IFACE_ or TIP_ one.
* Replacing all calls to UI_translate_do_iface by IFACE_.
* Replacing all calls to UI_translate_do_tooltip by TIP_.
All this somewhat clarifies and simplifies the code.
On the bf-translations scripts side, this only implies adding IFACE_ and TIP_ as detection markers for xgettext.
It also allows to reduce POTFILES.in quite notably (only 20 files remaining in it).
