Several users requested the recovery as the removal of the two parameters was considered over-simplification for advanced users.
As in the Python Scripting mode, the two parameters are in the "advanced edge detection options" section and disabled by default.
Also the lower limit of Kr derivative epsilon was changed from 0 to -1000 so as to permit a negative value.
The Post Processing tab in the Render buttons has new Line Thickness options for
defining unit line thickness in two different modes as follows:
1. Absolute mode: The unit line thickness is given by a user-specified number
in units of pixels. The default value is 1.
2. Relative mode: The unit line thickness is scaled by the proportion of the
present vertical image resolution to 480 pixels. For instance, the unit line
thickness is 1 with the image height set to 480, 1.5 with 720, and 2 with 960.
The new options enable a better control on the position of stroke thickness with
respect to stroke backbone geometry. Three predefined positions are:
* center: thickness is evenly split to the left and right side of the stroke geometry.
* inside: strokes are drawn within object boundary.
* outside: strokes are drawn outside the object boundary.
Another option called "relative" allows users to specify the relative position by a
number between 0 (inside) and 1 (outside).
The thickness position options are applied only to strokes of the edge types SILHOUETTE
and BORDER, since these are the only edge types defined in terms of object boundary.
Strokes of other edge types are always using the "center" option.
* Sphere radius and Kr derivative epsilon were removed from the
Parameter Editor mode. Now sphere radius of 1.0 and Kr derivative
epsilon of 0.0 are used by default. The rationale of the removal
is two-fold: little predictability and very minor artistic values.
The effects of these parameters are hard to estimate in advance,
which likely leads to a frustration of users due to repeated
trials and unpredicted results. Therefore, the two parameters
are considered to have quite limited artistic values. Proper
definitions of the two parameters more and less require the
knowledge of differential geometry and would not make sense to
most artists for which the Parameter Editor is intended.
* Sphere radius and Kr derivative epsilon are still available in
the Python Scripting mode, but now in an "advanced options" section
that is disabled and hidden by default. This way new users are
properly warned, while expert users with specific technical needs
can enable these options if they want. The same default values
mentioned above are used when the two parameters are disabled.
For premultiplied alpha images, this makes any color space conversion for the image
or render output work on color without alpha multiplied in.
This is typically useful to avoid fringing when the image was or will be composited
over a light background. If the image will be composited over a black background on
the other hand, leaving this option off will give correct results.
In an ideal world, there should never be any color space conversion on images with
alpha, since it's undefined what to do then, but in practice it's useful to have
this option.

This was a test drive to see how painful the merge will be.
Next batches are:
- use desktop option for fullscreen
- multisampling option
- bullet collision mask
- python
- storage (vbo, dl, ...)
- lighting
[lighting still needs review]
[python could use review, although it should be straightforward]
[storage should be tested more I think]

==UI==
* Made some options available in Blender Game that were only available in Blender Render (camera resolution, animation fps)
* Created a panel for the embedded player
* Renamed the FPS option for the standalone player to Refresh Rate
* Moved framing options to display
* Made a button to launch the blender player from within blender (only tested on windows for now)
37059:
==UI==
* Added the option to change the exit key for the BGE. The UI currently just sets a number, and this feature most likely does not work for blenderplayer yet. More work on this to come.
* Removed the physics settings from the scene panel for the BGE.
* Added an Add menu in the logic brick header.
37157:
Making the bake options available in Blender Game
37416:
Making the exit key UI element accept key presses instead of numbers. It still does not work for the Blenderplayer, and it does not limit the input to key presses (other events don't work for exiting)
37497:
Some more work on getting the exit key to work in the Blenderplayer.
Input is now restricted to keyboard events only for the exit key UI.
37498:
Some clean up from the last commit.
The exit key setting affects the Blenderplayer now.
37499:
Cleaning up some duplicate code. Now the reverseTranslateTable for converting blender key codes to ketsji key codes is only defined in BL_BlenderDataConverter.
37501:
Centralizing the exit key methods to the keyboard devices. This should make it easier to get exit key control to the python API.
[37517: committed previously]
37522:
Moved control of the exit key away from the keyboard devices, and moved it to ketsjiengine.
Added setExitKey and getExitKey to the python API
39036:
A couple of the doversions were in the wrong spot. This should fix some issues with the exit key not being set.

}
* Added a new chain splitting option for dividing chains into pieces having
a given curvilinear 2D length.
* Rearranged the UI controls of chain splitting options according to the
actual order of processing.
* Made changes for converting each view edge into a chain in the case of
not using chaining.
- UV's were not being calculated if there were too many VColor layers.
- precalc (omd->size * omd->spatial_size) was being called in a loop.
- use vector functions to avoid pointer indrections on each access which the compiler wont optimize - eg: och->ibufs_disp[f]->rect_float[4*(res_x*j + i) + 1]
- dont call abs() on ints (converts to double and back to int in this case).
also unrelated render buttons change. move saving options directly under the file path since these were easy to confuse with image format options like zbuf, ycc, preview.. etc.
of copy/paste functionality. Instead of making a copy of the active
line set, now the settings of the active line set are copied to and
pasted from a buffer. This allows for copying and pasting line set
settings among different scenes and render layers.
that produces a blueprint using circular, elliptic, and square contour strokes.
Related changes and bug fixes were made as follows:
* The randomness in radius and center has been transformed into optional
parameters of the pyBluePrintCirclesShader and pyBluePrintEllipsesShader.
Also a new optional parameter to control the randomness of backbone
stretching has been added to the pyBluePrintSquaresShader.
* A bug in the pyBluePrintSquaresShader that invisible stroke vertices at
corners of rectangular contour strokes were not properly drawn. The problem
was due to the changes of the / operator between Python 2.x to 3.x. Even
when the two operands of the division operator are integers, Python 3.x
gives a floating-point number when the quotient is not an integer. The fix
was just to replace the / operator by the // operator for integer division.
* An unpleasant discontinuity in circular and elliptical contour strokes
was fixed.
* The length parameter of the Backbone Stretcher geometry modifier has been
renamed to `backbone_length' in line with the parameter of the same name in
the pyBluePrintSquaresShader.
In the Parameter Editor mode, each edge type check button in the Selection
by Edge Types has now an associated toggle button to exclude the edge type
from the feature edge selection. This allows you to select, for instance,
those edges that are silhouette lines but not external contours.
New "face marks" and "edge marks" have been introduced in mesh data
blocks. In the edit mode of a mesh object, face marks can be put
to selected faces by choosing Mesh >> Faces >> Mark Freestyle Face
from the menu of a 3D View window or Ctrl-F >> Mark Freestyle Face
from the context menu. Similarly, edge marks can be put to selected
edges by Mesh >> Edges >> Mark Freestyle Edge or Ctrl-E >> Mark
Freestyle Edge. These marks should work fine with the Subdivision
surface modifier.
Moreover, two new conditions for feature edge selection have been
added to the Parameter Editor mode as described below:
1. The Selection by Edge Types option has now the new Edge Mark type,
which can be used to (de)select feature edges having edge marks.
This option can be used to add to (or remove from) the view map
arbitrary edges of mesh objects.
2. Selection by Face Marks option has been newly introduced, in which
face marks are used for feature edge selection in two ways. One
option is called "One Face" which is to (de)select feature edges if
one of faces on the left and right of each feature edge has a face
mark. The other option is "Both Faces" to (de)select feature edges
if both faces on the left and right have a face mark.
