Summary:
Now it's possible to assign an image to plane tracks
in clip editor. This image is only used for display
in clip editor and this image is being warped into
the plane track rectangle.
Main purpose of this is to get early feedback about
how good image warping matches the footage, before
clip goes to the compositor.
Pretty much straightforward change: just compute
homography from undeformed normalized frame corner
coordinates (unity square) to plane marker corners
and apply this matrix to opengl stack.
Still could improve behavior when perspective
plane transform is degenerate, but that's not so
much critical for now i'd say.

- When existing faces are available use their UV values
- When no faces are connected to an edge - generate UV's
Also add option to stretch U/V to bounds.
This allows you to choose between subdivide edges, collapse and both. Being able to
only collapse edges can be useful to simplify meshes with accidentally introducing
more detail.

For now this provides the following outputs:
- Color
- Light Vector
- Distance
- Shadow
- Visibility Factor
Note: Color output is multiplied by the lamp energy. Multiplication of
color*max(dot(light_vector,normal_vector),0)*shadow*visibility_factor
produces the exact same result as the Lambert shader.
Many thanks to Brecht for code review and discussion!
Notes:
* Did not touch to addons, that's up to the authors. ;)
* Did not removed any "name" field below lists. We might want to do this in some cases (less UI clutter), but probably not always, so will let maintainers of the related areas decide here.
* Remove Stars feature. This was a quite minimalistic feature and there are
better alternatives with more control (particles for example).
Removal discussed during BCon13 developer meeting and already years before, time to do it..

* Can optionally warp a segment (sets min/max default so it acts as old warp did).
* Can rotate the warp axis (old warp tool was limited to horizontal).
* Remove "Edge" post processing effect and the corresponding render layer.
Since we have freestyle, this is not needed anymore and was a very simple effect anyway (Zbuffer filter effect, could be added to the compositor if really needed again).

* Update readme for 2.70 (content + links), also updates for new tracker/git.
* Fix some links to the new blender.org website
* Release logs now point directly to the wiki, I don't see a reason to point to the website, just to redirect to the wiki after all.
* Removed audio-only options from ffmpeg render settings (added some versionning code too)!
* Moved the Mixdon button from the Scene->Audio pannel to the Render->Render panel.
Circle select was missing from node editor, and C key was assigned to now defunct "show cyclic dependencies". This patch remaps the key and adds circle select operator.
Functions to check intersection between rctf/rcti and a circle were also added to rct.c for code cleanliness and consistency.
called the generic node tree update function, which is happening anyway after all relevant node operators (if it doesn't that has to be considered a bug).
It has been suggested to better use the C key for circle select, this remains to be discussed.
confusion, grid snap is now the default as it seems to be the most wanted and easy to use mode.
Absolute grid snapping happens in a somewhat generic function 'applyGridAbsolute', which could also be used for objects and other transforms later on. It is conceptually similar to the 'project' snapping
option, in that it calculates a delta vector for each element on top of the overall transform, which places each node on the grid.
Node transform now uses the top-left node corner for TransformData->loc. The transform center is still the average of node centers, so that scaling and rotation works nicely.
snapGrid*** functions have been renamed to snapGridIncrement*** to distinguish better between incremental and absolute grid snapping.
This means that if you have WITH_BF_QUICKTIME or WITH_CODEC_QUICKTIME enabled,
it will always use QTKit.
The old backend was only used on 32 bit OS X builds, now 32 and 64 bit builds will
give consistent input/output. On Windows or Linux quicktime isn't being used.
* Remove unused UI code for Info Space items. Was lying around here for some months already.
Probably we have to re-think the whole placement of the operator history thing, but thats for later. In the current config there is no room for these buttons though.
* Remove "FCurve/Driver Version fix" from help menu, was used for RNA changes during 2.5x.
* Keep utility code in animsys_refactor.py, might still become useful according to Joshua.
* Move the "Add" menu from the Info header into the 3D View header.
Patch by Andrew Buttery (axb), with small tweaks by myself. (Patch ID #37241).
Approved by Brecht and Jonathan.
Added two options to a header of FCurve editor:
- Normalize which makes it so every individual
curve is fit into -1..1 space.
- Auto-normalize, which probably is to be called
"Lock" which "locks" curve normalization scale.
This is useful to prevent curves from jumping
around when tweaking it.
It's debatable whether it need to be a button to
normalize curves n purpose only, and it's fully
depends on animator's workflow.
Here during Project Pampa we've got Francesco
who get used to auto-renormalization and Hjalti
who prefers locked behavior.
Docs are to be ready soon by Francesco.
Thanks Brecht for the review!

Patch with collaborations and reviewed by Campbell Barton
Added a weight slider to track which defines
how much particular track affects in a final
reconstruction. This weight is for sure
animateable.
Currently it affects on BA step only which in
most cases will work just fine.
The usecase of this slider is to have it set
to 1.0 most of the time where the track is
good, but blend it's weight down to 0 when
tracker looses the track. This will prevent
camera from jump.
Tutorial is to be done by Sebastian.
This is just the "Apply Visual Transform" operator.
It's very usefull for rigid body simulations but hard to find and users
usually don't know about it/don't know it's usefull to apply rigid body
transformations.
It seems bit out of place (especially the tooltip) so we might need to
do a bit more here.
