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?
Reined back over-use of virtual functions in GHOST, especially in
"leaves" of the inheritance hierarchy. This eliminates vtables for many
classes and (in some places) turns virtual function dispatch into direct
function calls.
I'll be around to fix things if other coders think this change is too
much.
Still lots of virtual in GHOST_TaskbarWin32 since it just loves virtual.
Original patch by @random (D765) with some minor work done by @campbell
and me.
At this place, I'd like call out a number of people who were involved and
deserve a big "Thank you!":
* At the first place @randon who developed and submitted the patch
* The Blendercn community which helped a lot with testing - espacially
* @yuzukyo, @leon_cheung and @kjym3
* @campbellbarton, @mont29 and @sergey for their help and advises during
* review
* @ton who realized the importance of this early on and asked me for
* reviewing
We are still not finished, as this is only the first part of the
implementaion, but there's more to come!
Custom implementation for resizing (GHOST_SizerWin32)
Some things still don't work:
* esc cancel
* max windows size
* aero (sizing) snap on win7
hbrBackground = 0 to disable clear screen.
Thanks to dfelinto for help in finding of root cause.
Not all file formats/calls are supported yet. It will be expended.
Please from now on use BLI_fopen, BLI_* for file manipulations.
For non-windows systems BLI_fopen just calls fopen.
For Windows, the utf-8 string is translated to utf-16 string in order to call UTF version of the function.

This patch fix anti-aliasing (multisampling) implementation for win32 platform. It also gives opportunity to embed blenderplayer inside parent window.
Usage:
blenderplayer.exe -i 123456 -m 16 file.blend
where:
123456 - parent window handler (integer, default: 0)
16 - multisample level (integer, default: 0, max: 16. Put there maximum level you want. If not supported, player will automatically try 15,14,13,...,3,2,1)
##############
This patch was originally created as part of the Burster (aka webplugin) project but benefit any one embedding the bge in a custom OpenGL context. By the way, to embed the BGE in a .Net application is really straightforward now =)
The Multisampling work for blenderplayer as a whole.
Missing functionalities:
- to expose the multisampling to the ui (so far it only works in console)
- window focus and keyboard messages for embedded blenderplayer (supported in their previous patch for 2.49, yet to be ported over)
- handle resizing (to be investigated, indeed the changes in getState() in GHOST_WindowWin32.cpp are going to get in the way of that if I'm not mistaken. To be addressed together.
Doxygen documentation to be added whenever I sort out how to do so. Sorry Nathan too many stuff to deal with at the same time. The sooner this patch gets in, the sooner the missing functionalities can be patched on top of that.

with patch [#26469] Windows mouse fix
by Alexander Kuznetsov
The amount of mouse grabs wasn't properly balanced with ungrabs, thus preventing from using proper mouse input outside client area.
Submitted by Alexander Kuznetsov.
This adds the progress bar to the taskbar item of Blender for Windows 7.
Small change in version retrieval, otherwise as is.
Note: AA is still disabled due to AA creating problems for selection tools. If you must, set AA to 2 or 4 in wm_window.c where the GHOST window is created (line 317).
Added GHOST_TUns16 numOfAASamples parameter to GHOST_CreateWindow to specify the number of AA samples (null if no AA wanted)
Implemented it in the cascade of GHOST classes.
Full implementation currently done for OSX/Cocoa, stubs for other OSes.
Moguri : it's ready for your win32 implementation !
Note that fallback to a non AA window (if gfx card doesn't support AA) is done inside GHOST OS specific layer, so that blender windowmanager still gets its window created properly.
This nice patch by Matt D. (matd in #blendercoders) adds three nice features that can be seen already in the other supported OSes:
* minimum window size: to prevent some bugs with the window manager of Blender, system windows cannot be resized smaller than the minimum size.
* Continuous Grab is finally in Windows! Default settings since alpha 0 already have the feature enabled by default, so grab a new build and enjoy :)
* GHOST support for drag and drop added. This prepares Blender for drag and drop from OS -> Blender. Currently not very useful, since wm needs to be readied for that. But it does work (do BF_GHOST_DEBUG=1 build and drag a file onto a Blender window).
Thanks Matt D.!
Basic support for normal pressure sensitivity is implemented, adding other features like tilt etc. shouldn't be too difficult, now that basic support is there.
Tested with WACOM Volito on Windows XP using the pressure sensitivity with texture paint to change size of the brush .
Added additional include dir to scons, and MSVC 7 project files - other build systems might have to be updated.
This is 'ported' from Nicholas Bishop's sculpting GSoC tree. I'm bringing it
over now so a) it can be there for when lukep does his GHOST refactor b) it's
something that GHOST should have anyway, particularly now there's interest in
painting tools and c) it's missing support in Windows, so hopefully now some
enterprising Windows coder can add that more easily in the main bf tree.
Right now X11 and Mac OS X are supported. I added and can maintain the Mac OS X
part, but I'm not familiar with the Xinput stuff, which Nicholas wrote. Both
X11 and Mac are collecting active device and pressure, and Mac is also
collecting x and y tilt data. Up to coders how they want to use this info! :)
Although the data's coming in, I haven't actually made this do anything. I
thought it best to leave it to brecht to figure out what he wants to do with the
painting stuff, and I wonder what other interesting uses there could be for it
(proportional edit?). I'll write implementation details in a separate mail to
the committers list.
I took out the following from the includes in the intern dir that still had
it:
-#ifdef HAVE_CONFIG_H
-#include <config.h>
-#endif
