The 'Add' menu in the node editor now has an option 'Search' at the top, which opens a separate popup for searching node types by name.
The operator for this is implemented completely in Python (this could also be done for the regular menu-based Add options in the future). There are a few necessary extensions to the RNA as well:
* The View2D struct in regions is now exposed. Currently only contains converter functions for coordinates from the region to the view (i.e. scrolled and zoomed view space). Used for converting mouse location to node space.
* The SpaceNode exposes the existing 'cursor_location' for operators to store mouse position beyond invoke calls. Not used for anything else (transforms) so far.
* The edit_tree in SpaceNode is also exposed, this is needed for operators to work correctly inside node groups.
- Fix for copy default settings from active track operator
- Add meaningful tracking presets
API changes:
- Added parameter exact to Marker.find_frame, so now it's
possible to get estimated marker
- Added Marker.pattern_bound_box to get pattern's bound box
The tool works OK, except it was messing vertices' order of polys, often giving ugly results! Now only using sorted list of vertices indices to find matching polys.
Patch by Philipp Oeser (lichtwerk), just did style change (better to not define a value twice, so only affecting the three color components, not the alpha, also using the slice syntax makes things much more compact ;) ), thanks!

TL;DR:
* Frame node gets more usable bounding-box behavior
* Node resizing has helpful mouse cursor indicators and works on all borders
* Node selection/active colors are themeable independently
* Customizable background colors for nodes (useful for frames visual
distinction).
Disable operator register and redo flags because it might modify non-mesh
data when in edit mode. This doesn't work properly with current undo stack
design.
* Replaced the hard coded viscosity presets with Python ones.
* Added version check, so older files load fine.
Loading new files into 2.62 also works fine.
Previously it used to use cursor location from time when panel was drawn,
which in some cases lead to using previous cursor location instead of current.
