To make it easier for animators working in a multipass pose-to-pose workflow
when inserting breakdown keyframes and so forth, it is now possible to specify
the "type" of keyframe being created (i.e. the colour of the keyframe, when drawn
in the Dope Sheet).
Usage:
1) Choose the type of keyframe ("Keyframe", "Breakdown", "Extreme", etc.) from
the new dropdown located between the AutoKeying and KeyingSet widgets on the
timeline header.
2) Insert keyframes
3) Rejoyce that your newly created keyframes have now been coloured for you already
in the DopeSheet.
Todo:
* Look into a way of using the actual keyframe colours (from the theme) for the icons
of these types.
The previous threshold used to prevent the Graph Editor from imploding if
presented with a flat (or nearly flat, accounting for floating point precision)
curve was too coarse, meaning that in some cases, the "View All" tool would end
up behaving weirdly.
* Added the ability to add a keyframe at the current cursor location in the
Graph Editor. This is useful for precisely defining the shape of driver F-Curves.
* Fixed a bug where the wrong cursor-x time was being used in Drivers mode
(i.e. it was still using time, and not just any time-value, but the NLA-mapped time!)
When using the "Current Frame" options for these operators, the Cursor X value
will now be used instead of the current frame. Perhaps the labels could be changed
too, but for now, I guess this will be good enough.
It's needed especially for the menu entry "recover auto save" where you'd like to have the files sorted by date most of the time but it could be useful in other places too.
There should be no functional change in other areas, I just added the missing parameter (FILE_SORT_ALPHA).
Was a request from @sebastian_k at #BCon13, so at least one guy needs it ;)

- Add blentranslation `BLT_*` module.
- moved & split `BLF_translation.h` into (`BLT_translation.h`, `BLT_lang.h`).
- moved `BLF_*_unifont` functions from `blf_translation.c` to new source file `blf_font_i18n.c`.
Basically it's a clean keyframes tool, but also removes a channel if the
only remaining keyframe has the default value only and is not used by
drivers or generative modifiers.
It's was used to help with performance of keyframe-heavy scenes in
gooseberry.
Note, as always the curve left after the clean tool is used is not the
same as the original, so this tool is better used before doing custom
editing of fcurves and after initial keyframe insertion, to get rid
of any unwanted keyframes inserted while doing mass keyframe insertion
(by selecting all bones and pressing I for instance)
- rename WITH_EXTERNAL_AUDASPACE to WITH_SYSTEM_AUDASPACE.
- rename C/PYAUDASPACE to AUDASPACE_C/PY
- simplifying cmake defines and includes.
- fixing include paths and enabling WITH_SYSTEM_AUDASPACE for windows.

team.
There are 3 options here:
1) Keep range (previous behaviour)
2) Seconds - allows a specified offset in seconds around current frame
3) keyframes - zoom to include a number of keyframes around the cursor
Options 2 and 3 have their own properties to tweak the behaviour and all
options can be found in User Preferences->Interface under the 2D
viewports section.
Number 3 will probably need some refinement so commiting here for the
hwoozeberry team to test first.
editors.
Reporter used a hacky work-around by placing cursor at end of keyframe
range and doing ctrl-C ctrl-V repeatedly. This was working on 2.73 but
not anymore since the old selection is not kept.
Much better is to have duplication operator be repeatable. This commit
takes care of that.
* Insert Keyframe tool for Dopesheet/Graph Editors needed to be modified to
not try to resolve the paths for NLA Control Curves
* For now, the poll callback to get the "Active FCurve" also works when given
a NLA control curve. They're really the same in most cases, and this should
be fine until one of the channels does something funky.
and graph editor.
This was a tricky commit that was not so straightforward to make work.
The information for bones is not easy to come by in the animation curves,
however we do have some string manipulation tricks to make it happen.
Testing in gooseberry worked for the rigs there, commiting to master now
When the dopesheet was open, "keyframe edited" events from the graph editor
(i.e. fired whenever any properties on keyframes or FModifiers are changed)
would trigger the dopesheet to synchronise selection states of anim channels
and ensure that FCurve autocolours are initialised correctly.
This however was undesired when editing properties in the graph editor. Now,
made it so that keyframe adding/removing operators use different notifier flags
to specify that the channels might have changed + need colour syncing, and
adjusted the dopesheet updating logic to fit
Problem was introduced back in 2.70 during Project Pampa when the FCurve Normalisation
feature was introduced. The cause was that the normalised cursor value was always getting
passed to the KeyframeEditData context, even when it wasn't needed.
This commit introduces support for a number of new interpolation types
which are useful for motion-graphics work. These define a number of
"easing equations" (basically, equations which define some preset
ways that one keyframe transitions to another) which reduce the amount
of manual work (inserting and tweaking keyframes) to achieve certain
common effects. For example, snappy movements, and fake-physics such
as bouncing/springing effects.
The additional interpolation types introduced in this commit can be found
in many packages and toolkits (notably Qt and all modern web browsers).

This makes a number of operators no longer ask for confirmation, rather it will
show an info message after performing the operation. Ref T37422 for decision. In
particular, these were changed:
* Delete objects, bones, keyframes, masks, mask curves, motion tracks, markers.
* Clear and delete keyframes in the 3D view.
* Align bone to parents.
* Separate bones from armature.
* Group/ungroup metastrips in sequencer.
* Copy/paste objects to/from buffer.

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!
Remove usages of ANIM_unit_mapping_apply_fcurve in favor of
runtime scale factor apply.
There're still calls to ANIM_nla_mapping_apply_fcurve are
hanging around, they're the next t be cleaned up!
when running viewport operations with exec() rather then invoke(), perform the action immediately rather then using smoothview.
makes viewport operations usable from python scripts.
- add missing headers from cmake (own omission)
- quiet rna_test.c unused define warnings.
- minor style edits
- spelling corrections and ignore all uppercase words with spell checking script.
