a) Enable the possibility to remove the "air bubble" around submerged collision object. This feature is enabled as standard for new files. The code was found in elbeem by nudelZ, coded and provided by Nils Thürey (thanks!)
b) Old baked files gets deleted if a new bake gets started (were overwritten before and resulted in weird old bake + new bake mixture) (idea by nudelZ)
=======================
Added option to baked named "Bake From Multires" which is avaliable for
normals baking and displacement baking.
If this option is enabled, then no additional hi-res meshes and render
structures would be created . This saves plenty of memory and meshes
with millions of faces could be successfully baked in few minutes.
Baking happens from highest level against viewport subdivision level,
so workflow is following:
- Set viewport level to level at which texture would be applied
during final rendering.
- Choose Displacement/Normals baking.
- Enable "Bake From Multires" option.
- You're ready to bake.
Displacement baker had aditional option named "Low Resolution Mesh".
This option is used to set if you want texture for realtime (games)
usage.
Internally it does the following:
- If it's disabled, displacement is calculated from subdivided
viewport level, so texture looks "smooth" (it's how default
baked works).
- If it's enabled, dispalcement is calculated against unsubdivided
viewport levels. This leads to "scales". This isn;t useful for
offline renders much, but very useful for creating game textures.
Special thanks to Morten Mikkelsen (aka sparky) for all mathematics
and other work he've done fr this patch!
- fix: user pref, window title was reset to 'Blender' on tab usage
- Undo history menu back:
- name "Undo History"
- hotkey alt+ctrl+z (alt+apple+z for mac)
- works like 2.4x, only for global undo, editmode and particle edit.
- Menu scroll
- for small windows or screens, popup menus now allow to display
all items, using internal scrolling
- works with a timer, scrolling 10 items per second when mouse
is over the top or bottom arrow
- if menu is too big to display, it now draws to top or bottom,
based on largest available space.
- also works for hotkey driven pop up menus.
- User pref "DPI" follows widget/layout size
- widgets & headers now become bigger and smaller, to match
'dpi' font sizes. Works well to match UI to monitor size.
- note that icons can get fuzzy, we need better mipmaps for it

This is just a more formalised version of a local hack I've been
running locally for the past year now. It's especially useful when you
want to maintain your own set of recently opened test files (or
perhaps current project files), but then be able to quickly open some
.blend files downloaded from the web (i.e. checking out some bug
report, or how someone else sets up some node setup) without
loosing/polluting your existing recent files list as a result of doing
so, and having to either resort to some nasty methods to get it back.
Of course, this is still really hacky, as for instance, it means that
the currently opened file will not show up in the recent files list
for quick reload. However, that's why this is a userpref :)
The Limit Distance Constraint now has a "For Transform" option just
like all the other Limit constraints. This option controls whether the
constraint gets applied to interactive transforms in the 3D View too,
preventing controllers from getting large values without the animator
knowing.
Additional code changes:
* Split code to get constraint targets and grab their matrices for
solving out to a separate helper function:
get_constraint_targets_for_solving()
* Fixed a bug where "found constraint ...." prints would appear in the
console. Looks like some warning print that was forgotten
TODO:
* While coding this, I noticed potential division by zero bugs with
the Limit Distance constraint. Looking into these after this commit.
Added operator to convert animation for standard object transforms
(i.e. loc/rot/scale) to delta transforms.
This can be accessed from the Object -> Transform -> Animated
Transforms To Deltas menu entry in the 3D View.
Since the situation which causes this is quite common (especially for
motion-graphics type applications), where users animate some object
first and then decide to duplicate this and place it around the place
in different locations, it's probably important that we have some
support for this kind of thing. Newbies with the "help, all my anmated
duplicates disappear" problem are recommended to use this operator
from hereon in.
For reference of rationale, see:

-Curve-to-delta-equivalent
for durian we had camera rigs which needed to have the parent transformed rather then the camera, for this reason I made fly mode fly the parent rather then the camera its self.
Make this a preference and use this for view camera/view locking too.
Committing here a patch by Bastien Montagne (mont29), a more understandable Translation Constraint UI.
Before: http://www.pasteall.org/pic/12578
Now http://www.pasteall.org/pic/12258
From the description:
"When you set “X” under the Destination’s “Z”, it does not mean that the Z transform of the source should affect the X transform of the destination, but rather that the X transform of the source should affect the Z transform of the destination…"
The new UI should make it a bit more clear.
*In Particle Mode, there was no way to see what p-sys is being edited in the 3D View Tool bar, when having multiple ones.
Changed List type to normal (with limit to 3 rows). Request by venomgfx. :)
* Removed redundant text info about disconnected hair from Particle UI.
This patch adds adjustment layer tracks to the sequencer and does some cleaning
up of the code.
What's an adjustment layer?
Think of it as an effect track, which takes no explicit input, but alters
the output of everything down the layer stack.
So: you can add several stages of color correction with it.
And: you can even use it with metastrips to group several adjustments together.
Reviewed by Tom Musgrove and myself.
From the patch description:
ValterVB on #blendercoders submitted a long list of missing tooltips in Blender, and I went through the list and added all I knew. After that I crowdsourced the rest by putting a spreadsheet on Google docs and having people fill in the missing ones that I didn't know. So if there's some weird tooltip in there that doesn't make sense, that's why.
Thanks to Wolter, spacetug and others on BlenderArtists for contributing tooltips.
from the current shape mix. The old behavior is still accessable from the
menu as "New Shape From Mix".
Checked with Sergey and Bassam that this is a good change. New users
expect the add shape button to simply add a new blank shape, and get
confused when that is not the case. It is also really easy to
accidentally have other shape information in a new shape when the
"from mix" behavior is default.
- follow rotate/pan/zoom/dolly operators.
- auto-depth preference works.
- smooth view navigation supported.
- view selected, all & numpad operator work too.
TODO
- deal with camera transform locked axis
- find a way to move/zoom the frame while the camera is locked (if it turns out to be a problem).
from Andy Braham (andybraham)
This adds support for empties to reference images and draw in the 3D view.
Modifications from the original patch.
- use an empty draw 'image' type
- use image aspect ratio for non-square-pixels
- when the image is not found, still draw the frame.
Added new option to find panel of space text which toggles
case-esensitive search.
Additional changes:
- Send NC_TEXT|NA_EDITED when removing markers in find_and_replace modifier
this prevents "sticked" markers which disappears on first redraw when
search text wasn't found
- Do not show "Text wasn't found" error when text to be searched is contained
in the end of buffer and it's selected. Replacing/marking used to happen, but
this popup message was really annoying for this case.
TODO: It's incorrect to use UI_GetThemeColor4ubv from this operator
- Constructive modifiers are enabled by default in sculpt mode.
- There's option to disable all constructive modifiers in the "Options"
panel of toolbox in sculpt mode,
- Use one column in options panel to make strings easier to read
- No modifiers would still be applied on multires
- installing an addon which creates a new script directory didn't add this to the sys.path.
- installing the addon was meant to set the search string to the addon name but was broken.
