Most likely will not compile for others, I'd appreciate any build errors
and missing files reports (I can never seem to get everything committed
and all the build systems working without help).
Porting over the sculpt/multires tools was a breeze,
thanks goes to brecht for a design that didn't exclude
ngons and was easy to port.
Note that I've not tested externally-backed multires
file support yet. Also, I still need to write version
patch code for some cases.
Some notes:
* Like trunk, topological changes don't update multires right,
so e.g. subdivide will duplicate multires data on the new faces,
instead of subdividing it.
* If you set the debug value (ctrl-alt-d) to 1 it'll turn on
my experiments in speeding up sculpting on higher-res multires
meshes (but note it makes partial redraw not completely accurate).
* There's a bug where you have to go through editmode to get out
of sculpt mode, not sure if I inherited or created this myself.
Autokeying for transform functions now gets context-info, allowing for bone paths to be recalculated.
However, the main purpose of this is to allow KeyingSets to eventually have poll functions.
* Added ANIM_list_elem_update and ANIM_id_update functions to call when
changing animation curves, which will then call the RNA property update
functions for those curves.
This is to replace just calling DAG_id_flush_update, that may not always
be the right thing to do, and doesn't send proper notifiers for redraw.
Still only used/usable when transforming in the graph editor, not sure
how this do this with NLA for example, .. needs to be improved.
* Added function wm_data_handle_update function to contain the object
update function, and also added scene animation update there. Actually
it should be doing all datablocks, this makes it work for sequencer.
Joshua, do you agree this is the right direction to go in? I can revert or
change the code if you think it should be done differently. Mainly wanted
to get this working well for sequencer now.
A to add the current snapping point to the list
Alt-A to remove the last one
The resulting snapping point is the average of all snap points in the list (and the one under the mouse pointer, if valid).
Snapping between two verts is a matter of moving over the first, pressing A, moving over the other, confirming transform.
This is used to force snap on and off when needed.
Also, when transform is not run modal, it will use default values for PET and snap properties (False) instead of scene settings. No need to force them off when calling transform with Exec.

The new widget isn't there yet, but the rest works, including:
Increment (gears) is now a snap mode
Ctrl click to toggle snap on or off (in transform and 3d view)
Shift+Ctrl click to select snap mode (3d view only)
Snap status (on/off) is persisted in tool settings, no need to always turn it back on when entering transform.
It's still possible to have something resembling the old system by editing the transform modal keymap to snap on on ctrl press and snap off on key release.
* Convert all code to use new functions.
* Branch maintainers may want to skip this commit, and run this
conversion script instead, if they use a lot of math functions
in new code:

Reordering some function calls in transform cleanup to make it simpler (that means other fixes are possible too, sequencer probably don't need it's own freeing function anymore).
Limitations:
1) Parents and children of selected objects are excluded from the pool (siblings are ok) Making it work with that would required unparenting and reparenting after transform, that would turn nasty really quick.
2) Does not support Connected (this could be done through parent links, but see 3 first).
3) Parent relationships in affected objects aren't taken into account. When parent and children in the area of effect, remember that the children will also take the motion of the parents (with additive results). This could perhaps be fixed, but it could be nasty.
Other stuff:
New BASE_EDITABLE macro that checks if base is editable (like TESTBASELIB except it doesn't check for selection)
Add scene parameter to TESTBASELIB_BGMODE macro (using it from current scope is nasty)
- Generated and uploaded api docs - http://www.blender.org/documentation/250PythonDoc
- Added Edit docs menu item & operators as discussed with Mindrones, Brecht, Stani & Letterip @ bconf, needs some web backend. python operator can aparently use xml/rpc to upload docstrings.
- Added operator invoke function - context.manager.invoke_props_popup(self.__operator__, event)
this calls a popup for invoke by default (which intern calls execute())
- Own recent commit to game framing applied to non-camera views too.
- v3d->persp is deprecated but still used in some places.
- Transforming strips could overlap 1 frame if moving them below frame 0
- Transforming overlapping strips could go into an eternal loop (though overlapping strips should not exist)
It is now possible to choose from 'Bounding Box' (default), '2D-Cursor', and 'Individual Centers' as the pivot point(s) that rotation/scaling is performed around.
part. This fixes a bug where transform help line drawing would not
work with view clipping and mess up the z-buffer. This avoids the
transform code having to figure out what kind of opengl state is
enabled and disable it temporarily.
Updating the sequencer after transform could not use special_aftertrans_update because it relies on data that is freed
theeth: moved the customFree function to run before freeing t->data, t->data2d in postTrans(), checked that customData is not needed.
* Changing to the ShapeKey editor now automatically enables the value sliders
* Filtering code for ShapeKey editor can now do AnimData block filtering too (internal details...)
* Silenced console warnings when inserting keyframes on F-Curves with no keyframes already (for Animation Editor sliders)
* Made the update code for keyframe transforms send more general depsgraph updates. Unfortuately, this still doesn't resolve the update problems with shapekeys
wm.context_set(path="scene.tool_settings.someattr", somevalue)
wm.context_toggle(path="scene.tool_settings.somebool")
wm.context_toggle_values(path="scene.tool_settings.some_enum", value_1="somevalue", value_2="othervalue") # switch between 2 values
wm.context_cycle_enum(path="scene.tool_settings.some_enum", reverse=False)
the path value is taken from the context so the full path is
context.scene.tool_settings...
This means in keymaps you can cycle draw modes, change PET- anything with rna access.
If its not so nice to map keys to operators like wm.context_set we could use macro's to wrap it and have its own name
Use this for PET and setting pivot options
- Made userpref key shortcut Ctrl+Alt+U since its not used in 2.4x
- added pivot_point_align (Alt+Comma)
- added PET wasnt rna wrapped correctly.
This is similar to the old retopo all option but uses the snapping code and not the openGL depth buffer (it's thus more precise).
Not sure if making it available as a snap option is sensible, this is up for discussion.
NOTE: it will get slow fast on large meshes, we need to plug in an acceleration structure into snapping.
This will need an icon too.
This (biggish) commit generalises the rotation modes functionality added for Bones, allowing Objects to use the various Euler Rotation orders, Axis-Angle, and Quaternion rotation representations.
I've also cleaned up the nomenclature of the rotation-related settings so that the naming styles are more consistent with each other. Unfortunately, this will break all files involving object or bone rotation animation made in 2.5 versions (2.4x will still get correctly converted).
General Notes:
* By default, Objects still default to using Eulers, while Bones will use Quaternions by default still.
* I've fixed all areas that I'm currently aware of to work with these changes. However, there are probably a few places where I've missed a few changes (i.e. auto-keyframing will need attention later).
* Removed the old "IPO-Keys" stuff from Transform code. I'm unlikely to restore this in the near future, and trying to fix that to include support for this commit would have been too much work.
Notifiers
---------
Various fixes for wrong use of notifiers, and some new notifiers
to make things a bit more clear and consistent, with two notable
changes:
* Geometry changes are now done with NC_GEOM, rather than
NC_OBJECT|ND_GEOM_, so an object does need to be available.
* Space data now use NC_SPACE|ND_SPACE_*, instead of data
notifiers or even NC_WINDOW in some cases. Note that NC_SPACE
should only be used for notifying about changes in space data,
we don't want to go back to allqueue(REDRAW..).
Depsgraph
---------
The dependency graph now has a different flush call:
DAG_object_flush_update(scene, ob, flag)
is replaced by:
DAG_id_flush_update(id, flag)
It still works basically the same, one difference is that it now
also accepts object data (e.g. Mesh), again to avoid requiring an
Object to be available. Other ID types will simply do nothing at
the moment.
Docs
----
I made some guidelines for how/when to do which kinds of updates
and notifiers. I can't specify totally exact how to make these
decisions, but these are basically the guidelines I use. So, new
and updated docs are here:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderDev/Blender2.5/NotifiersUpdateshttp://wiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderDev/Blender2.5/DataNotifiers
* Inserting keyframes now takes into account whether the F-Curve was editable or not.
* Editing keyframes in animation editors now sends proper depsgraph updates instead of just tagging the relevant objects.
Thanks JiriH for reporting these bugs.
* Separated value and range sliders for the value into two separate rows. Value comes before the range settings since it's used more often, and is drawn as a slider instead.
* Tweaked ranges for the sliders so that they will work sanely.
* New NLA Tracks/Strips are now only created if the 'layered' button (visible in the timeline header when autokeying is on, and the playback is running) is enabled. This multiple bones to be able to be animated in the same action, but done in multiple passes.
* Made Alt-A work in timeline header too.
* When doing realtime recording of animation (i.e. transforming objects + bones while animation playback is running, and auto-keying is enabled), animation will be added to a new NLA Track+Strip combo everytime a single 'loop' of the frame range has finished. This will allow 'passes' over the animation to be less destructive.
* Made the evaluation of the active action (when NLA data is present), be handled as part of the normal NLA system evaluation code (as if it were just another strip in a track at the end). The immediate benefit is that there are now some settings (available in the "Animation Data" panel in the NLA Editor with a strip selected) which allow for the way the active action is combined with the NLA stack results. For instance, the way that the action extrapolates is used in the recording tweaks above.
