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.
A new option '-a' can be passed to the blenderplayer. It forces the
framebuffer to have an alpha channel.
This can be used in VideoTexture to return a image with alpha channel
with ImageViewport (provided alpha is set to True on the ImageViewport
object and that the background color alpha channel is 0, which is the
default).
Without the -a option, the frame buffer has no alpha channel and
ImageViewport always returns an opaque image, no matter what.
In Linux, the player window will be rendered transparently over
the desktop.
In Windows, the player window is still rendered opaque because
transparency of the window is only possible using the 'compositing'
functions of Windows. The code is there but not enabled (look for
WIN32_COMPOSITING) because 1) it doesn't work so well 2) it requires
a DLL that is only available on Vista and up.
give precedence to AA over Swap copy:
Certain GPU (intel) will not allow MSAA together with swap copy.
Previously, swap copy had priority over MSAA: fewer AA samples would be
chosen if it was the condition to get swap copy. This patch reverse the
logic: swap copy will be abandonned if another swap method (undefined or
exchange) will provide the number of AA samples requested. If no AA
samples is requested, swap copy still has the priority of course.
The events are allocated on the heap, then pushed on a stack. Before
being processed, they are popped from the stack, and deleted after
processing is done. When the manager is destroyed (e.g. application
closing), any remaining event in the stack is detroyed.
Issue is that when the "application closing" event is processed, it is
never freed, because the manager gets destroyed before the call to
`delete` is made and the event is not on the stack anymore.
Now events are left on the stack while they are processed, and only
popped and deleted after processing is done.
As a slight bonus refactor: use void as return type for dispatch events
functions, as no caller is checking the return value, and it is not
clear what it means (suggested by the reviewer).

Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D1695
OpenGL is detected:
Hoping to decrease the frequency of by far one of the most frequent bug
reports by windows users.
There is some reorganization of the GHOST API to allow easy addition of
further OpenGL options in the future. The change is not propagated too
deep to keep the size of the patch managable. We might reorganize things
here later.
For OpenGL we do two checks here:
One is a combination of GDI generic renderer or vendor microsoft
corporation and OpenGL version 1.1. This means the system does not
use GPU acceleration at all. We warn user to install a graphics
driver and of cases where this might happen (remote connection, using
blender through virtual machine)
The other one just checks if OpenGL version is less than 1.4 (we can
easily change that in the future of course) and warns that it is
deprecated.
Both cases will still let blender startup correctly but users should now
have a clear idea of the system being unsupported.
A user preference flag is provided to turn the warning off.
Now stop posting those bug reports without installing a driver first -
please?
changing the screen resolution wasn't still allowed for larger virtual desktops.
added an exclusive option to ghost so the fullscreen window is ignored by the window manager and we get all events. (common practice for games on X11).
This returns the desktop size, not just the size of the active monitor, useful since this constrains the mouse and we dont have to detect the active monitor (which isn't so straightforward with xlib).
carbon/cocoa are TODO, they still use getMainDisplayDimensions().
OK - so you have this nice crisp screen, and still you want to add extra
monitors to the laptop! That means Blender should switch back and forth to HiDPI
modes, when you move a window to another monitor.
This code makes the pixelsize scale factor a window property, and handles
an event when a window moves to another monitor. It then changes the
native pixelsize nicely and refreshes entire UI.
You can also have one Blender window on high, and other on low resolution.
Stretching a Blender window from 1 monitor to the other works too, but that
is Apple magic handling it.
Nice formatted version (pictures soon):
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Ref/Release_Notes/2.66/Usability
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)
Adds conformation on exit for windows. Needs to be enabled in user perf.
Tried to edit blender.exe.manifest for more modern dialog look, but didn't work out.
Description:
This patch allows the user to change the size of the window (or the resolution in fullscreen mode) using the new bge.render.setWindowSize() method. This only works in the Blenderplayer since it doesn't make a whole lot of sense for the embedded player.

Notes:
======
* we replaced fullscreen by playerflag in DNA_scene.types.h. So no doversion here, I think this is a small reversion can't see any potential problem in forcuing users to re-check fullscreen. If the file is really old (<250) it will doversion though;
* (for after commit) it would be nice to gray out the width/height when desktop=True
* for a rainy day: it would be nice to have other ghost modes (e.g. screensaver) to support desktop + MSAA as well. It's not a huge deal given that I don't even know if anything else work (apart from windowed, fullscreen and embed) but it doesn't hurt to have it updated as well.
* there is something strange with outliner. I think space_outliner merge-info is not in sync with the ^/ folder. It's probably a wrong merge early in cucumber.

===========
# 40845 by dfelinto
remove desktop and fullscreen properties. They are both part of playerflag now
also I removed the fullscreen from the DNA completely. I don't think we need doversion that..
#39045 by kupoman
The Desktop option is now greyed out when fullscreen is not checked rather than disappearing from the UI completely.
#38973 by kupoman
Adding a checkbox to the UI to allow the full screen Blender Player to use the current desktop resolution instead of the resolution setting.
#38970 by kupoman
Multisampling now works in a fullscreen Blender Player.
#38968 by moguri
Committing a patch from Mitchell Stokes (Moguri) to include a setting in the UI for the Blenderplayer multisampling.

Fix [#26938] Blender Zoom not working after startup (Windows)
Reported by Ilija Boshkov
by applying patch [#26881] Fix for console disappearing in debug mode [Windows]
Submitted by Alexander Kuznetsov (AlexK)
The patch moves console toggling code into GHOST and improves on the toggling behaviour.
The patch changes handling of WM_SYSCOMMAND so that alt-key toggling isn't a problem anymore.
Some reorg of modules/pages, start makesdna and makesrna.
In many places license block needs to be changed to not start with /**, because otherwise documentation will go weird.
Update after discussions on IRC:
* operating system specific path retrieval is moved back to GHOST, nothing blender specific here though
* cleaned up path functions a bit to remove #ifdefs
* removed Cocoa from blenlib again
TODO:
* Matt, Damien, please check and correct the functions for Cocoa and Carbon, could only put back existing code but needs adjustment
* finish GHOST_getBinaryDir - this should replace the BLI_where_am_i eventually as well as BLI_getInstallationPath on Windows and get_install_dir for the blenderplayer runtime
* It would probably be nice to define GHOST_getTempDir as well and move those out
* more cleanups...
NOTE:
Things are likely broken for macs
