This started off doing pointcache debugging but it's also very useful for users too.
Previously it was very hard to see the state of the system when you're working caches
such as physics point cache - is it baked? which frames are cached? is it out of date?
Now, for better feedback, cached frames are drawn for the active object at the bottom
of the timeline - a semitransparent area shows the entire cache extents, and more
solid blocks on top show the frames that are cached. Darker versions indicate it's
using a disk cache.
It can be disabled in general in the timeline View -> Caches menu, or by each individual
system that can be shown.
There's still a bit to do on this, behaviour needs to be clarified still eg. deciding what
shows when it's out of date, or when it's been played back but not cached, etc. etc.
Part of this is due to a lack of definition in the point cache system itself, so we should
try and clean up/clarify this behaviour and what it means to users, at the same time.
Also would be interested in extending this to other caches such as fluid cache,
sequencer memory cache etc. in the future, too.
Now, rather than the bit-too-alarming stop sign, threaded wmJobs
display a progress indicator in the header. This is an optional feature
for each job type and still uses the same hardcoded ui template
(could use further work here...).
Currently implemented for:
Render - parts completed, then nodes comped
Compositor - nodes comped
Fluid Sim - frames simulated
Texture Bake - faces baked
Example: http://mke3.net/blender/devel/2.5/progress.mov
Using custom setfuncs to avoid increase/decrease of usercount.
That way nothing stops you from removing a material that is used by a
sensor, or a mesh, an action ... (this is how 2.49 works too)
* also some general code cleaning/fix (adding static casts, replacing libaddr_us by lib_addr for dome text (I had no idea how user count worked back then)
this is also done in the 2 others places in the code which get the parent.
In our case the crash was caused by a group not containing the parent object.
This fix the problem of not being able to play animations created with Blender 2.5 in BGE. Patch reviewed by Benoit
Added also other parent to modifier conversions as requested by Joshua (aligorith). I didn't bump subversion here, but the patch should work still. If not I'm increasing subversion sooner anyways (tomorrow or by the middle of the week I hope).
I was waiting to commit this one together with the Logic Editor datablock patch (converting material_name DNA properties to struct Material *). However my patch is getting too big and it's better if it's alone (easier to analyze later, eventual fixes, ...)
Mitchell, this commit adds a function that can help hardware skinning - HasArmatureDeformer()
- uses same thumbnail system as image browser
- blend files show thumbnails in ubuntu/gnome (freedesktop spec)
- 128x128 images are embedded into the blend file header, a simple loader avoids reading the entire blend file to extract it when generating thumbnails in the file selector.
When the image browser reads a directory it loads images and creates thumbnails, blend files embedded images are treated just like loading an image.
- the thumbnail is created from the camera view in solid mode. (no camera == no thumbnal).
- readfile/writefile.c: had to use the 'TEST' code name to save thumbnails, anything else would segfault older blender versions on load. (its not used elsewhere).
tile cache code in imbuf, but it is not hooked up to the render engine.
Imbuf module: some small refactoring and removing a lot of unused or old code
(about 6.5k lines).
* Added a ImFileType struct with callbacks to make adding an file format type,
or making changes to the API easier.
* Move imbuf init/exit code into IMB_init()/IMB_exit() functions.
* Increased mipmap levels from 10 to 20, you run into this limit already with
a 2k image.
* Removed hamx, amiga, anim5 format support.
* Removed colormap saving, only simple colormap code now for reading tga.
* Removed gen_dynlibtiff.py, editing this is almost as much work as just
editing the code directly.
* Functions removed that were only used for sequencer plugin API:
IMB_anim_nextpic, IMB_clever_double, IMB_antialias, IMB_gamwarp,
IMB_scalefieldImBuf, IMB_scalefastfieldImBuf, IMB_onethird, IMB_halflace,
IMB_dit0, IMB_dit2, IMB_cspace
* Write metadata info into OpenEXR images. Can be viewed with the command
line utility 'exrheader'

Curve->lastselbp field was renamed to Curve->lastsel and now not last
either BPoint or BezTriple is storing here. It's not easy to determine
type of selected point, but operator which depends on such point reviews
the full nurbs, so this shouldn't be a problem.
Made changes to curve undo stuff to restore last selected point on undo/redo.
Added new theme color for curve last selected point.
is still set very low so in many cases it could be even smaller, but being
a bit conservative here to try to avoid breaking rigs.
This is not forward-compatible, i.e. loading new files in older blender
versions will loose the binding.
Made custom proxy files a lot more sensible to select
(upgraded to filepath get/setters)
Changed semantics, since custom files don't make much
sense without custom directories...
that mode. This ensures proper initialization happens like creating the
cursor or building an acceleration structure. It also means edit and
particle mode are now saveable.
Not sure yet if this is a good feature, though personally I like being able
to load my exact state again after saving, but maybe entering edit mode is
too slow in some cases? It's easy to make it work only for the sculpt/paint
modes again if wanted.
This fixes bug #21004 about a missing sculpt cursor on load.

This adds the waveform monitor and vectorscope to the image editor 'scopes'
region, bringing it inline (plus a bit more) with sequence editor functionality,
and a big step closer to the end goal of unifying the display code for image/
comp/sequence editor. It's non-intrusive, using the same code paths as
the histogram.
There's still room for more tweaks - I modified the original patch, changing
the openGL immediate mode drawing of the waveform display to vertex arrays for
speed optimisation. Xavier can look at doing this for the vectorscope now too.
Thanks very much Xavier!
* Fixed crash with when/after undoing Grease Pencil sketches in the Image Editor. To get this working, I've had to sacrifice the backwards-compat loading for old .blend files from 2.49 which were using the same pointer as the new data (local data vs datablock data). If anyone has any ingenious hacks to fix this, go ahead, but otherwise, some caution is advised here...
* Grease Pencil block used for Image Editor instances can now be changed
* Enabled proper active polls on the advanced 3D-view projection methods for drawing. These are not valid in views other than the 3D-View, and so should not be shown as available for use elsewhere (though may still be shown just so that users know what mode an 'imported' datablock may be using).
* Enabled proper updates for Grease Pencil editing in the Image Editor. Was missing notifiers for this stuff.
* When drawing in the Image Editor with no image active, the system now (quietly) switches to using screen-space 'view' vs 'cursor' space for the strokes, since the previous behaviour was confusing with strokes disappearing after drawing them. IMO this is a much better option than the confusion that occurred before, even though it does change the user's settings under their feet!
This patch add SPH (Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics)fluid dynamics to the
blender particle system. SPH is an boundless Lagrangian interpolation
technique to solve the fluid motion equations.
From liquids to sand, goo and gases could be simulated using the particle
system.
It features internal viscosity, a double density relaxation that accounts
for surface tension effects, static internal springs for plastic fluids,
and buoyancy for gases.
---------------------------------------
This is a commit of the core fluid physics. Raul will work on proper
documentation soon and more features such as surface extraction from
the particle point cloud and increasing stability by sub-frame calculations
later.
* Some cases of struct name being set where it shouldnt have been.
* Spelling: wich --> which
* Copy and initialize uv modifier scale, remove unneeded enum.
* Ability to pin any object into the context.
* Update uv window while transforming (useful when used with UVProject modifier)
* Patch by Wahooney, so new template's are internal text and dont get saved over
by mistake.
* Fix for https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=572186
Bug 572186 - [abrt] crash in blender-2.49b-5.fc12: Process
/usr/bin/blender.bin was killed by signal 6 (SIGABRT). Original fix submitted
by Jochen Schmitt.
* [#21816] bpy.data.add_image has stopped working on Windows. moved to
bpy.data.images.load(), missed this call.
