Design task: T42339
Differential Revision: D840
Initial implementation proposal: T41867
Short description:
With this we can distinguish between holding and tabbing a key. Useful
is this if we want to assign to operators to a single shortcut. If two
operators are assigned to one shortcut, we call this a sticky key.
More info is accessible through the design task and the diff.
A few people that were involved with this:
* Sean Olson for stressing me with this burden ;) - It is his enthusiasm
that pushed me forward to get this done
* Campbell and Antony for the code and design review
* Ton for the design review
* All the other people that gave feedback on the patch and helped to
make this possible
A big "Thank You" for you all!
OpenGL is detected:
Hoping to decrease the frequency of by far one of the most frequent bug
reports by windows users.
There is some reorganization of the GHOST API to allow easy addition of
further OpenGL options in the future. The change is not propagated too
deep to keep the size of the patch managable. We might reorganize things
here later.
For OpenGL we do two checks here:
One is a combination of GDI generic renderer or vendor microsoft
corporation and OpenGL version 1.1. This means the system does not
use GPU acceleration at all. We warn user to install a graphics
driver and of cases where this might happen (remote connection, using
blender through virtual machine)
The other one just checks if OpenGL version is less than 1.4 (we can
easily change that in the future of course) and warns that it is
deprecated.
Both cases will still let blender startup correctly but users should now
have a clear idea of the system being unsupported.
A user preference flag is provided to turn the warning off.
Now stop posting those bug reports without installing a driver first -
please?
Original patch by @random (D765) with some minor work done by @campbell
and me.
At this place, I'd like call out a number of people who were involved and
deserve a big "Thank you!":
* At the first place @randon who developed and submitted the patch
* The Blendercn community which helped a lot with testing - espacially
* @yuzukyo, @leon_cheung and @kjym3
* @campbellbarton, @mont29 and @sergey for their help and advises during
* review
* @ton who realized the importance of this early on and asked me for
* reviewing
We are still not finished, as this is only the first part of the
implementaion, but there's more to come!
On 4k devices the default pixel size leads to tiny OpenGL drawing
that is hardly usable without doubling the DPI. The retina system
on OSX aims to alleviate this problem by introducing a general 2x
pixel size.
No equivalent feature exists on other platforms so far. However,
to emulate the effect this patch introduces a "virtual" pixel size
factor for OpenGL drawing.
Note that the user currently has to enable this manually by selecting
the "Virtual Pixel Mode" in the user preferences (defaults to native).
All windows of a Blender instance share the same virtual pixel size as well.
It may be possible to handle this on a per-window basis and automate
the selection somewhat (if enabled by the user), so working with
multiple screens becomes more convenient, but technical limitations
make this a bit difficult (on X11 with nvidia drivers the actual screen size
is not reported correctly).

Yep, at last it's here!
There are a few minor issues remaining but development can go on in
master after discussion at blender institute.

Thanks to Sergey and Campbell for the extensive review and to the
countless artists that have given their input and reported issues during
development.
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.

and restore of window setups with multiple monitors, but they are also causing
regressions, in particular issues with Blender overlapping the taskbar and the
user preferences opening wrong. We decided to revert to the old behavior for
the release.
See bug #36707 for the full explanation.
This allows to open windows stretched over monitors. Saving
stretched layouts open correctly as well.
Renamed screensize_all to desktopsize to better convey meaning.
New OSX "Life resize" was also being called during opening of windows - when things are
not initialized yet. Crashed on opening full-screen window (which is animated in OSX).
- 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.
window, the game would stop drawing in the first and mess up the OpenGL state of
the second.
Also fixes glPushAttrib/glPopAttrib getting out of sync in some cases.
