When WITH_INPUT_NDOF is disabled, 3D mouse handling code is removed
from:
- GHOST (was mostly done, finished the job)
- window manager
- various editors
- RNA
- keymaps
The input tab of user prefs does not show 3D mouse settings. Key map
editor does not show NDOF mappings.
DNA does not change.
On my Mac the compiled binary is 42KB smaller after this change. It
runs fine WITH_INPUT_NDOF on or off.
Now all consistent and using term "properties region" instead of "properties panel". Ideally we had a more generic operator for all those.
Fixes T49006.
Drivers can use this to refer to the data which the driver is applied to,
useful for objects, bones, to avoid having to create a variable pointing to its self.
This commit introduces a scale factor setting for scaling all keyframe indicators
in the Dopesheet Editor up/down, in order to make them easier to select. It is perhaps
most useful for keyframe types which are usually indicated using smaller keyframes
(e.g. breakdown), which may get tricky to quickly select.
The "W" channel will get a yellowish colour (i.e. a blend between the X/R and
Y/G axis colours), while the XYZ will behave as they do for other transforms.
This only works in the Action and Dopesheet modes (which operate on FCurve keyframes).
Support for Grease Pencil and Mask Keyframes though is still pending.
This commit changes a lot of how IDs are handled internally, especially the unlinking/freeing
processes. So far, this was very fuzy, to summarize cleanly deleting or replacing a datablock
was pretty much impossible, except for a few special cases.
Also, unlinking was handled by each datatype, in a rather messy and prone-to-errors way (quite
a few ID usages were missed or wrongly handled that way).
One of the main goal of id-remap branch was to cleanup this, and fatorize ID links handling
by using library_query utils to allow generic handling of those, which is now the case
(now, generic ID links handling is only "knwon" from readfile.c and library_query.c).
This commit also adds backends to allow live replacement and deletion of datablocks in Blender
(so-called 'remapping' process, where we replace all usages of a given ID pointer by a new one,
or NULL one in case of unlinking).
This will allow nice new features, like ability to easily reload or relocate libraries, real immediate
deletion of datablocks in blender, replacement of one datablock by another, etc.
Some of those are for next commits.
A word of warning: this commit is highly risky, because it affects potentially a lot in Blender core.
Though it was tested rather deeply, being totally impossible to check all possible ID usage cases,
it's likely there are some remaining issues and bugs in new code... Please report them! ;)

Reviewed by campbellbarton, thanks a bunch.
FCurve evaluation depended on FCurve.curval, which isn't threadsafe.
Now only use this value for debug display,
and pass the value instead of storing in the FCurve for all but debug-display.
Now, when creating new keyframes in the graph editor by ctrl-clicking, only
the newly created keyframes will be selected. This is a little workflow tweak
to make it faster to work, as you no longer have to deselect all, and then
re-select the newly added keys in order to manipulate them.
The old behaviour (not modifying the selection status of the old keys) has been
kept, but is now available via Shift-Ctrl-Click.
Feature request from @Shhlife
* Reshuffled code for existing "View Frame" implementations, and removed leftover
comment from some of the the copy-and-paste used to build it.
* Added support for this operator in the NLA and Timeline
This commit aims to streamline the driver variables layout a bit
* Each variable type now has an icon. (The loc diff and rot diff ones are placeholders,
which could deserve something better/dedicated if we continue to use this)
* Instead of taking up an entire row, the variable type dropdown now only shows
an icon, and is located before the variable name field.
Feedback wanted: Is this more/less confusing than it was?
This was a feature request from a few years back (IIRC from ZanQdo?) to make it
easier to reuse one set of driver variables across several different drivers.
Dev Notes:
* Finally it's done! All that trouble for two little buttons.
* Grr... cmake... grrr!
* Use an RNA enum callback for NLA FModifier types too
* Cleaned up tooltips for these operators in Graph and NLA editors
* Fix update notifiers after adding FModifiers in the Graph Editor
This brings the UI here more in line with the Constraints and Modifiers UI's.
TODO:
* The tooltips/descriptions on the operators now need fixing, as we can no longer
use custom tooltips when defining these buttons.
* The operators need to be fixed to only operate on the active data
This change means that when going from having no FCurves active to having
an active FCurve, the properties panels will not get stuck with only showing
the "View" tab, which is not that useful a lot of the time.
When attempting to change a driver variable name to an "invalid" name,
an indicator will now be shown beside the offending variable name.
Clicking on this icon will show a popup which provides more information
about why the variable name cannot be used.
Reasons that it knows about are:
1) Starts with number
2) Has a dot
3) Has a space
4) Starts with or contains a special character
5) Starts with an underscore (Python does allow this, but it's bad practice,
and makes checking security of drivers harder)
6) Is a reserved Python keyword
To make it easier for animators working in a multipass pose-to-pose workflow
when inserting breakdown keyframes and so forth, it is now possible to specify
the "type" of keyframe being created (i.e. the colour of the keyframe, when drawn
in the Dope Sheet).
Usage:
1) Choose the type of keyframe ("Keyframe", "Breakdown", "Extreme", etc.) from
the new dropdown located between the AutoKeying and KeyingSet widgets on the
timeline header.
2) Insert keyframes
3) Rejoyce that your newly created keyframes have now been coloured for you already
in the DopeSheet.
Todo:
* Look into a way of using the actual keyframe colours (from the theme) for the icons
of these types.
This fixes some of the issues noted by venomgfx that were caused by
Se25ba162c0b62b19cf367f0f29e29d0c0960978d
Specifically, this commit fixes:
* Timeline: Keyframe lines
* Graph Editor: Curves and Handles
Each LINES draw call is now responsible for its own line width. No need
to set it back to its 1.0 default after every draw.
This eliminates half our calls to glLineWidth , similar to last week’s
work on glPointSize.
The previous threshold used to prevent the Graph Editor from imploding if
presented with a flat (or nearly flat, accounting for floating point precision)
curve was too coarse, meaning that in some cases, the "View All" tool would end
up behaving weirdly.
I put all usage of GL_POINTS under the microscope. Fixed problems &
optimized a couple of spots.
- reduce calls to glPointSize by about 50%
- draw selected & unselected vertices together for UV editor & EditMesh
- draw initial gpencil stroke point the proper size
- a few other smaller fixes
New policy: each GL_POINTS draw call needs to set its desired point
size. This eliminates half our calls to glPointSize (setting it back to
its 1.0 default after every draw).
While SCons building system was serving us really good for ages it's no longer
having much attention by the developers and started to become quite a difficult
task to maintain.
What's even worse -- there started to be quite serious divergence between SCons
and CMake which was only accumulating over the releases now. The fact that none
of the active developers are really using SCons and that our main studio is also
using CMake spotting bugs in the SCons builds became quite a difficult task and
we aren't always spotting them in time.
Meanwhile CMake became really mature building system which is available on every
platform we support and arguably it's also easier and more robust to use.
This commit includes:
- Removal of actual SCons building system
- Removal of SCons git submodule
- Removal of documentation which is stored in the sources and covers SCons
- Tweaks to the buildbot master to stop using SCons submodule
(this change requires deploying to the server)
- Tweaks to the install dependencies script to skip installing or mentioning
SCons building system
- Tweaks to various helper scripts to avoid mention of SCons folders/files
as well

Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D1680
* Added the ability to add a keyframe at the current cursor location in the
Graph Editor. This is useful for precisely defining the shape of driver F-Curves.
* Fixed a bug where the wrong cursor-x time was being used in Drivers mode
(i.e. it was still using time, and not just any time-value, but the NLA-mapped time!)
Apparently this is the result of some sloppiness during 2.5 project and since then it confused people who were trying to understand the area-region relation (myself included).
Sorry if this causes merge conflicts for anyone, but at some point we really had to do it :/
