That change made all scrollwheel events be handled as if it was a swipe gesture.
Old style mouse wheel didn't work anymore.
This version should work for everyone, but we need more mac testers :)
scrolling and inertia.
Now Blender uses this - if you have 10.7. Otherwise it just falls back on the
old code.
Try it, makes a huge difference :)
Next todo: how to configure this well, so you can have trackpad (or mighty mouse)
zoom as default in 3d views.
Now:
- code is wrapped for OS X releases (10.6 and 10.7)
- It now detects scrollwheel (old mouse) and gesture strokes (mighty mouse or trackpad).
If you have 10.6, things will work as for release.
Next todo for tomorrow: make trackpad work actually smooth and not with steps.
Will also try to figure out the device type, to handle mighty mouse differently.
Blender didn't detect properly whether event came from a mouse-wheel or
from a trackpad in OS X.
Now you can both, and both are handled independently.
Removed back hack from 2 years ago - which disabled mouse wheel for laptops.
remove it, but still stick around listed in the Window menu.
Fixed by removing the setReleasedWhenClosed:NO hack and using the proper cocoa
window delegate mechanism.
Mac OS X trackpad and 'mighty mouse' fix.
An old commit from Damien in 2010 tried to make mighty mouse touches work as if
this is a scrollwheel. The error in that code was that the "kinetic scrolling"
feature failed. When releasing your fingers, the events passed on to Blender
then switched from "trackpad pan" to "mousewheel zoom".
This commit makes trackpads and mighty mouse behave identical. Only difference
is that trackpad panning needs 2 fingers, mighty mouse only one.
Note that trackpad and mighty mouse 3d zoom works with holding ctrl!
All works nice with this kinetic feature now. Fun :)
(Error in 2.65 release too)
Mac OS X: on closing Blender, it 'flashed', which appeared to be a white window opening
and closing quickly. Caused by code trying to send focus to another opened window, and
accidentally focusing the closed one - causing it to reopen.
Nice formatted version (pictures soon):

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)
This doesn't work nice currently and there's no simple workaround for this,
it'll require lots of statistics about cards and some further investigation
on supported combination of draw methods and multisamples supports.
For the release better be more stable and do not deliver dangerous option.
drop onto the application.
It seems something changed in the operating which makes our method of releasing
windows crash. Previously we called [m_window release], but on 10.8 this does
not remove the window from [NSApp orderedWindows] and perhaps other places,
leading to crashes. So instead we set setReleasedWhenClosed back to YES right
before closing, which will then do the cleanup for us.
Windows systems: text editor, text object, doesn't allow to input the standard
set of ALT+key characters (the ones coming from the OS).
- Reverted fix january 2012 - that meant to use text object ALT+keys
- Removed old (90ies) feature for hardcoded special characters in Text object.
(OS delivers this now)
Will wait for confirmation by windows compiler :)
