Many users have been requesting a way to remove unused datablocks from the file/session
"without closing and reopening" Blender (or at least that's the impression I'm getting).
This commit adds a new operator (exposed as the "Purge All" button in the header of
the "Orphaned Datablocks" mode in the Outliner, which seems to be the logical
place for this) for doing so. It does so by wrapping up the save and "revert"
(i.e. reload the saved file from disk, without needing to quit Blender) operators
along with a confirmation prompt for good measure.
Caveats:
* Ultimately, we still cannot really cleanly delete any datablocks from the current
session outright without reloading the file/data at some point. Thus, we do need
to reload the file again before it can be used.
* This does mean that this operation is irreversible. Notably, Undo history is lost
is doing this operation. Hence the warnings... (Then again, undo/redo actually
reloads the entire scene DB from memory, so it's not anything uncommon ;)
Other Notes:
* The addition of this operator brings this mode more into line with being a kind of
"Trashcan" place, with this new operator being the manual "Empty Trash" button.
If the "Orphaned Datablocks" name is too obscure, maybe we could rename this
mode to "Trash" or something similar?
Turned out that I misinterpreted the feature request, plus there are some
minor issues with the commit that would need to be corrected.
After all, I decided to just remove it again as it seems to not be really
useful for the users.
The translation and rotation locks subpanel was not used by dynamic physics type to avoid inestability in the application of forces and/or torques. Therefore it is better to remove it from UI (for dynamics) to avoid misunderstandings.

This commit introduces a few ready made effects for the 3D viewport
and OpenGL rendering.
Included effects are Depth of Field, accessible from camera view
and screen space ambient occlusion. Those effects can be turned on and
tweaked from the shading panel in the 3D viewport.
Off screen rendering will use the settings of the current camera.

This feature has been totally broken for a long time. It was added
originally because negative frames were not supported.
Giving simulations (cloth and others) time to settle before animation
starts needs to be solved in a much better and more generic way.
As brought up in T43595, the Grease Pencil layers list could sometimes end up
taking up too much space when there are no layers. Another issue raised there
was that the up/down buttons are redundant when there is only a single layer.
This commit makes some changes to get these a bit more compact for the case where
you have an empty GPencil datablock left over from previous work.
Reported by maxon through IRC, thanks.
Invalid (inexistant) bookmarks would not be selectable, hence not removable.
First, made invalid bookmarks grayed out in lists, so that user knows when there are some.
Then, added a new 'cleanup' operator that removes all invalid bookmarks.
This solution may not be completely satisfaying, but should do the work for now.
I do not want to add back those ugly 'X' delete buttons for each entry in list,
so better solution would be to make UIList able to select several items at once...
structs to paint struct (might be useful for vertex paint too in the
future)
Cavity masking now has a curve control. The control will set the amount
of masking for positive cavity ("pointness") or negative cavity
("cavity") with x axis being the amount of cavity and 0.0 = full cavity,
1.0 = full pointness, 0.5 = no cavity and the y axis being the amount of
alpha.
Bookmarks are now editable (i.e. you can rename them, and reorder them).
They are also listed in regular UILists, so you can filter/sort them as usual too.
Also, FileBrowser 'T' side area is changed to something similar to 3DView one,
in this case because we need op panel to remain at the bottom, and later because
we'll more than likely need tabs here!
Thanks to Campbell and Sergey for reviews.

Title says it all, options can be found in the options panel,
A slider controls the amount of cavity masking that is applied while
it's also possible to invert the mask and paint outside or inside
cavities.
Again we might greatly benefit from caching of the cavity result, but
that should only affect startup time for the stroke.
Auto View automatically adjusts the view based on selection, so that the view is
always focused on the current selection.
A checkbox in the header is used to access it and it works for the following
selection methods: Toggle All, Border, Circle, Lasso, Left, Right, More, Less,
Linked, Column (so all except of single selection, in which this can be a bit
annoying)

timeline.
When enabled, ipo, dopesheet, NLA, timeline, clip and sequence editors
will follow the current frame during animation. When the cursor reaches
the end of the screen, then the next range of frames of the same width
is displayed.
Nothing much to say here, basic tool to make normals point toward a target,
or to make them point 'outward' as if object was a spheroid (useful for game bushes etc.).
Also, forgot a big thank you to Campbell for the extensive review work he has done on this project!
This is the core code for it, tools (datatransfer and modifier) will come in next commits).
RNA api is already there, though.
See the code for details, but basically, we define, for each 'smooth fan'
(which is a set of adjacent loops around a same vertex that are smooth, i.e. have a single same normal),
a 'loop normal space' (or lnor space), using auto-computed normal and relevant edges, and store
custom normal as two angular factors inside that space. This allows to have custom normals
'following' deformations of the geometry, and to only save two shorts per loop in new clnor CDLayer.
Normal manipulation (editing, mixing, interpolating, etc.) shall always happen with plain 3D vectors normals,
and be converted back into storage format at the end.
Clnor computation has also been threaded (at least for Mesh case, not for BMesh), since the process can
be rather heavy with high poly meshes.
Also, bumping subversion, and fix mess in 2.70 versioning code.
- Add falloff types & curves (matching warp-modifier)
- Add uniform scale option,
important when adding hooks to non-uniform scaled objects,
especially for use with lattice objects which can't avoid uneven scaling.
This uses relative transformation set when the hook is assigned,
when measuring the distances.
* Enable operator for proxies now becomes set operator for selected and
can unset-set all options.
* Properties become read-only labels, only use operator to set proxies.
For now, did most of the changes in menu entries (i.e. py space UI scripts).
Note we do not get 100% same results as previously, but current situation is
globally better than previous one, though the whole system to retrieve shortcuts
remains a bit weak...
This commit removes the audio panel from Render context as it exists a similar panel in Scene context.
Also, it gives to the Distance Model a similar UI layout as it was in the removed render->audio panel
Support UV Map nodes for determining active UV layer. Now when an image
node is enocuntered, the system will recursively search the node's input
sockets for any UV Map nodes. Obviously this won't fetch any coordinate
transforms into painting, and it will only choose the first UV Map node
encountered if more than one UV Map nodes are combined.
However it should allow custom UV setups per materials and tweaking of
the UV Map node's UV layer from the Slots panel.
This is a per-strip option next to the build proxy size which tells blender
whether to skip building proxy size if the file for it already exists or not.
The option is called "Overwrite" for simplicity.
This option is enabled by default to avoid changes in the file behavior.
TODO: Would be nice to do something like that for movie clips as well.
based on the interpolate property does not make any sense at all.
These settings are still totally confusing - this code has not been
touched since 2009 at least! Go figure ...
The logic used for determining whether certain keyframing settings (i.e. visual,
only needed, xyz -> rgb) got applied was wonky. The original intention here was
that the Keying Set settings would override the global settings, and the path
settings would override what was used for the Keying Set. However, that was not
happening in all cases previously, as it was only possible to add flags and not
to turn them off.
This commit fixes that by introducing separate toggles to control whether the
Keying Set/Path's settings override the settings inherited from its parent
(i.e. the Keying Set for the Path, and the User Prefs for the Keying Set).
The icons used for these toggles could get revised a bit (we need something
which communicates "override this"; the current one is the closest I could find)
WARNING: If you have old keying sets, this may cause some breakage!
Since 1c3f2354f8 the keyframing settings on
Keying Sets have been incorrectly displayed as a clump of toggle buttons,
which are usually only used when only one of the options apply.
Reverting this back to how it was, while leaving bl_options in place still for
the one case where it makes sense to do it that way (i.e. for KeyingSetInfo)
Recent addons commit meant that addons would be enabled even if they weren't found.
This would give an error (which is fine), but also remove from preferences.
These were used as UI buttons during development. If such parameters are
needed again later they should instead be added in the (now global)
SimDebugData and made accessible with a dev addon or so.
