* RNA_blender.h is now generated along with the other files. It is not
used anywhere yet, and still located quite hidden next to the other
rna_*_gen.c files. Read only access for now.
* Inherited properties are not copied from the base anymore but
iterated over. Patch by Vekoon, thanks!
* Array get/set callbacks now do the whole array instead of getting an
index. This is needed for some layers for example so python can set
the array as a whole, otherwise the check that one layer has to be
enabled at all times gets in the way. Also nicer for the C API.
* Also some changes to returning pointers to make the API cleaner, got
rid of the type() callback and instead let get() return PointerRNA
with the type included.
The C API looks like this currently:

It's about time that the RNA wrapping for various parts of the animation system were cleaned up for my recent changes. I've moved some code around (and/or deleted a file or two) in the process.
* Work around bScreen/Screen DNA name patching, so bScreen does not
require manual callbacks to be written for properties.
* Added SpaceLink and SpaceImage RNA.
* Fix issue initializing ID property arrays with default values.
DNA
* Some DNA changes for space image.
* And a fix for corrupt clone image pointer in reading brushes.
* Finished DNA_lamp_types.h, DNA_world_types.h and DNA_sound_types.h.
* Renamed "parent" struct property to "nested", and also remaining "from"
usage to "base".
* Added a NEVER_NULL subtype for pointers and use it for all properties
that apply.
* Make sure all structs have a description, and fix any other DOC_BROKEN
descriptions, also many other naming consistency improvements.
This is used for generating docs so a nested RNA struct such as MaterialRaytraceTransparency are listed under Material rather then in the global struct list)
These RNA structs are used for grouping properties and don't correspond to a C structure.
* DNA_cloth_types.h, patch by Roelf de Kock. The gravity[3] member
is not being parsed correct by makesdna.c and will give issues
even when trying to fix it. Worked around it for now in RNA by
wrapping it manually, but this should really be fixed in the DNA
genetics code, added a comment about it in DNA_cloth_types.h.
* Handle vertex groups and uv layers more consistent now. They are
all exposed as strings now. Reason is that indices don't really
say much, and a direct pointer is not always possible because for
example a uv layer in a material can be used for multiple objects
and so there is no single pointer. In python it is not too hard
to use either since the strings works as a key for lookups.
For the user interface we can later think of some method to
generate popup menus in a way that works for vertex groups,
uv layers, bones etc.
* This also fixes the XXX's in rna_modifier.c, I think that can be
marked done.
* Added support for sending notifiers and updates when setting
RNA properties. Per property, there is a notifier NC_/ND_ flag,
and a function that is called. Currently only used for
Object.loc/rot/size.
* RNA_property_update that does this is not automatically called
in every _set function, it has do be done separate, and is being
done by buttons with RNA data.
* Perhaps for python there could be a trick to accumulate these
flags rather than update each time, though for now the python
RNA code could just do them everytime. Did not add these calls
in the python code yet because it needs context, not sure where
to get that from?
* DNA_object_fluidsim.h: done, patch by Nathaniel Garbutt, thanks!
Some changes to make it more complete and adding inheritance to
better hide irrelevant and reused properties.
* Also added all derived types for modifiers, but only fluid is
filled in currently.
* Some files converted from DOS to UNIX line endings.
* Added support for using pointers + collections as operator properties,
but with the restriction that they must point to other type derived from
ID property groups. The "add" function for these properties will allocate
a new ID property group and point to that.
* Added support for arrays with type IDP_GROUP in ID properties.
* Fix bug getting/setting float array values.
Example code for collections, note the "OperatorMousePath" type is defined
in rna_wm.c and has a float[2] property named "loc".
Defining the operator property:
prop= RNA_def_property(ot->srna, "path", PROP_COLLECTION, PROP_NONE);
RNA_def_property_struct_runtime(prop, &RNA_OperatorMousePath);
Adding values:
PointerRNA itemptr;
float loc[2] = {1, 1},
RNA_collection_add(op->ptr, "path", &itemptr);
RNA_float_set_array(&itemptr, "loc", loc);
Iterating:
RNA_BEGIN(op->ptr, itemptr, "path") {
float loc[2];
RNA_float_get_array(&itemptr, "loc", loc);
printf("Location: %f %f\n", loc[0], loc[1]);
}
RNA_END;
* DNA_sequence_types.h done, patch by Roelf de Kock, with various changes,
mainly the use of inheritance for different sequence types and hiding the
separate Strip struct.
* Added a function to define booleans negative, to turn negative
properties into positive ones gettin rid of the no_ prefix, and
also got rid of the use_ prefix for two booleans.
* Also made the function for enum bitflags separate, this is quite
rare so don't need to bother with this in most cases.
* Removed svn:executable flags from some files.
many small changes, but the two bigger ones are:
* Sensors and controllers now use inheritance, rather than pointing
to the data in a separate struct. Had to add some new RNA define
functionality to support this better.
* DNA_meta_types.h was marked as done but still missing many things,
now completed.
* DNA_packedFile_types: added rna definitions for packed files
* also experimentally filled in correct struct 'PackedFile' in image rna for testing.
* updated MSVC projectfiles (also for rna_curve.c and rna_vfont.c)
Note:
I removed PackedFile->flags, I did grep through source and a complete recompile of blender trunk svn without them too, so they obviously aren't needed anymore. A bit of cleaning up :)
Implemented RNA wrappers for curves and VFont. Only issue I could
not yet solve is related to struct CharInfo curinfo; . This particular
line proved to be hard to wrap and I therefore marked it as a TODO
should someone want to fix this issue.
I also cleaned up makesrna.c a bit by unifying brush/meta parts
under one call just the way it is done in the case of other
wrappers.
Implemented RNA wrapper for ModifierData.
Note that actual interface to access data of any specific modifier is
still missing. I also marked a couple of parts as TODO that should be
reviewed to decide whether or not to expose those specific parts
via RNA.
Wrapped most of brush. Brush is still missing a link to texture and to
BrushClone. Also PAINT_TOOL_DRAW etc. flags found on DNA_brush_types.h
need to be associated to a brush somehow. Currently they are linked
to a brush via ImagePaintSettings.
Also changed identifiers in metaball wrapping to conform with the
standards.
* added rna_property.c and rna_actuator
* enabled access to properties and actuators from object
Note that because we have RNA_Property in the RNA itself, you can find
properties in gamelogic of and object under the name of RNA_GameProperty
* DNA_radio_types.h: done. (patch by Jorge Bernal). Also adds
some #defines in the radiosity DNA since it was using hardcoded
values.
* Added an "UnknownType" which has no properties, useful as a
placeholder for pointers that have no defined type yet.
* Sort a few lists in the code alphabetically.
* Fix sensor data pointer code, also made sensor type non editable,
would need to do more work than just setting the type.
* Fix a fairly obscure bug related to inheritance and sorting.
* Complete DNA_ID.h wrapping, just a few extra properties and the
Library struct, most of this is internal.
* Added more lamp properties. (patch by Michael Fox)
* Fix a number of warnings in the RNA code.
* Converted DOS line endings to UNIX.
* Added some information on defining ID structs, and fixed use
of "ID" inheritance for some non-ID structs.
* Added text on naming conventions to the RNA documentation, and
applied it to the current code.
