We have callbacks for that, they also do some checks and help ensure things are done
correctly. Only place where this is assumed not true is blenloader (since here we
may affect refcount of library IDs as well...).
Summary:
Before this adding Surface type of force field and removing
this field would leave Surface modifier alive in the stack.
This might be really misleading and annoying.
Now removing force field will ensure no modifiers needed for
it are remained in the stack.
This also fixes missing notifier to redraw modifier stack
when changing force field type.

besides performance in some cases.
* DAG_scene_sort is now removed and replaced by DAG_relations_tag_update in
most cases. This will clear the dependency graph, and only rebuild it right
before it's needed again when the scene is re-evaluated.
This is done because DAG_scene_sort is slow when called many times from
python operators. Further the scene argument is not needed because most
operations can potentially affect more than the current scene.
* DAG_scene_relations_update will now rebuild the dependency graph if it's not
there yet, and DAG_scene_relations_rebuild will force a rebuild for the rare
cases that need it.
* Remove various places where ob->recalc was set manually. This should go
through DAG_id_tag_update() in nearly all cases instead since this is now
a fast operation. Also removed DAG_ids_flush_update that goes along with
such manual tagging of ob->recalc.
Right now most simulations can't handle cache start frame < 1
unfortunately.
There are two main problems:
1. frame 0 is a special case so some simulations will just pop back to
their initial state on frame 0.
2. blender doesn't allow playing the animation starting from negative
start frames, so most simulations only work when baked and not during
regular playback.
Just change soft limit since sart frame < 1 can work in some cases, but
this needs to be fixed properly in the individual simulations if we
really want to allow it.
Force fields work with rigid bodies just like they do with other simulations.
Increase min and max strength of force fields so they can influence heavy rigid
bodies.
TODO: Adjust force field strength based on the time step taken.

Example is for physics like Cloth or Hair Dynamics that start on a shaky state for a few frames until they settle (for say baking subtle grass or hair movement).

Forgot DNA needed stable names... :/ Correct spelling would involve keeping the old one for load code anyway, so better live with incorrect spelling here.
use the same precision for location all over (2-5 was used), use define as 5.
also disallow boolean to have any subtype besides PROP_LAYER_MEMBER, some booleans had TRANSLATION / XYZ subtypes which don't make sense.
can type in any value, and only when sliding the number value there is a limit.
It was already possible to assign any value to a socket with node linking, so
this shouldn't cause any new issues.
Also raised the limits on the math nodes, with a patch by Agustin Benavidez.
Note about long lines: I did not touch to two pieces of code (because I don’t see any way to keep a nicely formated, compact code, with shorter lines):
* The node types definitions into rna_nodetree_types.h
* The vgroup name functions into rna_particle.c
