This was sort of a chicken<->egg dilemma, because after a maximized screen was restored, the screen handling used region
coordinates which weren't updated yet. I'm still not sure why, but this resulted in area coords that go beond INT_MAX.
To fix this I made sure the first screen handling after restoring a maximized screen is skipped, so that it's delayed to
the next call of wm_event_do_handlers (since this is called from main loop there shouldn't be a noticable delay or any
handling glitches).
There was a hard-coded check to exit the fileselector when restoring a view.
Now, when space types differ, flag areas as temporary and switch back to the previous type only in this case.
This means you can select a file while having a file-selector space type open, and not loose it every time.
Make the UI API more consistent and reduce confusion with some naming.
mainly:
- API function calls
- enum values
some internal static functions have been left for now
The sequencer 'display' area is a region on its own, so we can't hide
the preview regions. The only problem is that the <-> resize icon shows
in the main region, so you only see it over the tracks region in the
sequencer, I'm not addressing this though.
Organize Maximize/Fullscreen mess and add a new fullscreen mode with no UI
* Maximize Editor: (old Ctrl+Up)
* Full Screen Window: (old Alt + F11)
* Full Screen Editor: new operator (Alt + F10)
* Change Show/Hide Header: (Alt + F9)
When the mode is on moving the mouse near the top right corner of the
editor shows an icon to go back to the normal editor mode.
This was originally intended for the multiview branch, but this
functionality also benefits non-stereo workflows, thus it can be
reviewed and committed independently.
Development notes:
* This includes cleanups in the code to sanitize the naming of
fullscreen/maximize across the window/editor code.
* Originally the idea was to make the window fullscreen as well, but
this idea was dropped.
* You can see the clicking area when debug is 1
* Technically the user can be left with an unfaded icon in the corner
(specially when using a tablet). If we think this is too bad we can
increase the action zone to be the whole screen, or something similar.

The issue was caused by missing object update for the curve object
before going to new screen. And that new screen had different visible
layers due to disabled lock_camera_and_layers option.
Solved by calling DAG_on_visible_update() in ED_screen_set() even
in cases scene doesn't change. This ensures all the objects which
weren't visible before are correctly updated.
Previously this only worked for some datablocks relevant to rendering, now it
can be used to detect if any type of datablock was added or removed (but not
yet to detect if it was modified, we need many more depsgraph tags for that).
Most of the changes are some function parameter changes, the important parts
are the DAG_id_type_tag calls.

Summary:
Made objects update happening from multiple threads. It is a task-based
scheduling system which uses current dependency graph for spawning new
tasks. This means threading happens on object level, but the system is
flexible enough for higher granularity.
Technical details:
- Uses task scheduler which was recently committed to trunk
(that one which Brecht ported from Cycles).
- Added two utility functions to dependency graph:
* DAG_threaded_update_begin, which is called to initialize threaded
objects update. It will also schedule root DAG node to the queue,
hence starting evaluation process.
Initialization will calculate how much parents are to be evaluation
before current DAG node can be scheduled. This value is used by task
threads for faster detecting which nodes might be scheduled.
* DAG_threaded_update_handle_node_updated which is called from task
thread function when node was fully handled.
This function decreases num_pending_parents of node children and
schedules children with zero valency.
As it might have become clear, task thread receives DAG nodes and
decides which callback to call for it.
Currently only BKE_object_handle_update is called for object nodes.
In the future it'll call node->callback() from Ali's new DAG.
- This required adding some workarounds to the render pipeline.
Mainly to stop using get_object_dm() from modifiers' apply callback.
Such a call was only a workaround for dependency graph glitch when
rendering scene with, say, boolean modifiers before displaying
this scene.
Such change moves workaround from one place to another, so overall
hackentropy remains the same.
- Added paradigm of EvaluaitonContext. Currently it's more like just a
more reliable replacement for G.is_rendering which fails in some
circumstances.
Future idea of this context is to also store all the local data needed
for objects evaluation such as local time, Copy-on-Write data and so.
There're two types of EvaluationContext:
* Context used for viewport updated and owned by Main. In the future
this context might be easily moved to Window or Screen to allo
per-window/per-screen local time.
* Context used by render engines to evaluate objects for render purposes.
Render engine is an owner of this context.
This context is passed to all object update routines.

Summary:
- Fixes an off-by-one error in screen_test_scale() which causes the areas and
regions to draw one pixel bigger on the right and top side of the window,
therefor hiding one line of pixels.
- Fixes an off-by-one error in rct_fits() which causes regions to incorrectly
hide even though it would fit inside the area.
- Correctly set the limits for the screen edge move operator so it will always
go up to AREAMINX and headery.
- Change screen_find_active_scredge() so it doesn't show the arrows cursor on
the screen edges along the window border.
The import thing to understand is how integer rects are used in this part of the
code. They are constructed as a lower left and top right point and are INCLUSIVE.
Meaning that if you have a rect's xmin = 10 and xmax = 30 then the total number
of pixels is 21. So to get the size of a rect you have to do xmax - xmin + 1,
which is easy to forget and result in off-by-one errors.

button under the mouse, and so clicking the button failed without first
moving the mouse. Similar issues could happen with popups and switching
windows.
The problem is that a notifier was being used to deactivate possible other
activated buttons, but as notifiers are delayed it could undo the correct
activation too. If anyone notices hanging tooltips or other issues after this
fix, please report them.
- Removed grid-snapping for area coordinates on scaling windows.
That caused the areas to shrink or expand, and eventually corrupt screen layouts.
- Added simple but efficient life resize for OSX. I need to know why this is so much
code for Windows... I suggest Windows to just copy same method; dispatch the queue,
and just let the event system draw.
were no properly updating when rendering animations.
The render engine was only updating the image user current frame on images used
by material textures. Now moved the function that updates all from the editors
to blenkernel level and do it on all frame changes.
The regions of the space are stored in a different place depending if it is
active or if another space is in use. The code here was iterating over both
but it should be only one because the other might contain regions of another
space.
Getting the 'CTX_data_main' while un-fullscreen'ing a space would do a context lookup into the view3d_context which had an uninitialized layer.
since view3d_context doesn't hold a 'main' member it never did anything but cleaner not to do context lookups while modifying the view.
- noticed while checking on a real bug :)
- The corner 'duplicate/merge area' widget was drawing too often.
(Added comment in subwindow 'active' code, too many redraws are being
sent on moving mouse over region eddges)
- Since 2.50, the .blends have the current file name stored
- In versions up to 2.65.0 this didn't save for files saved from startup
(i.e. files saved without loading a file)
Code now adds the file name after all, except for recovery loads.
Recoded the (2.65.1 version) region scale, which happened on loading files with
different saved size windows. Also scaling window itself was affected.
Old method: scaled region widths based on area/editor scaling factors.
That was leading to too small or too large button regions easily.
New method: region width/height now are in DPI control. Much nicer!
- On changing dpi, buttons remain visually same widths.
- On changing window sizes, the button views and zooms stick to exactly same.
Caveat: people who were using Blender with 'extreme' dpi setting, might find
the layouts slightly differ. Not sure if this is worth version patching...
Todo: overlapping regions that overlap together draw badly. Fix underway.
On mouse-over these regions now become active always (as if they were opaque).
This active state is used by many tools, or for drawing cursors.
Currently, all events (if not handled by button region) are passed on anyway to
the underlying region.
Visible errors were for example drawing the paint brush circle.
Nice formatted version (pictures soon):
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Ref/Release_Notes/2.66/Usability
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)
