The do-version handling for Userdef is outside file reading, which makes
it needed to store the file version in UserDef, so it gets the correct
version to handle.
Thanks Antonis R. for pointing at the omission!
Also removed the mindboggling define. If you do such, then make it
like "MAIN_VERSION_OLDER_THAN() or so.
In general version hacking could be limited much better... ask me
before even thinking to add one, most optimal is to do it in a way
it's not depending on a version ever - forward/backward compatible.
This was difficult to do because we group theme colours and display them
together in user preferences. To make the background options more
presentable and keep them grouped and separate, I needed to group the
two gradient colours somehow. I added a separate ThemeSpaceGradient RNA
struct as opposed to ThemeSpaceGeneric. This struct is the same as
ThemeSpaceGeneric but it lacks the window background option (which does
nothing now) and includes the UiGradient struct which now has both
gradient colours. I modified the clear functions to use a new high
colour from the gradient. Now all options appear grouped and any other
editor that may use a gradient for the window background may do so.
Also corrected incorrect MAIN_VERSION_ATLEAST macro, it would not detect
versions correctly
from Patrick Boelens (senshi). with modifications to split it into its own function.
also added C style multi-line comment support /* ... */
I've left out the part of this patch that sets the language in the space, since I think this might be better stored in the text block.
For now it simply uses OSL syntax highlighting when the extension is '.osl'.
- Recoded soft shadow drawing for menus, giving better predictable results
(and round off nicer on top side, was looking bad still)
- Brought it under DPI control
- Added Theme setting to control size and strength for it.
Max size 24 pix:

- now each editor has own settings for "show panel header" and
"show panel background", and colors+alpha for this.
- this setting used to be global for all editors, but it can conflict
with looks of specific editors.
- Now you can set for editors to show panels with a 100% transparent
tool/properties region.
Note: read XML theme files now might get an error, Campbell will fix.
Upgraded version to 2.65.1, and check on this to map default region backgrounds
to have an alpha 0.5. This only worked until now for 2.64 savedi startups.
Nice formatted version (pictures soon):

Short list of main changes:
- Transparent region option (over main region), added code to blend in/out such panels.
- Min size window now 640 x 480
- Fixed DPI for ui - lots of cleanup and changes everywhere. Icon image need correct size still, layer-in-use icon needs remake.
- Macbook retina support, use command line --no-native-pixels to disable it
- Timeline Marker label was drawing wrong
- Trackpad and magic mouse: supports zoom (hold ctrl)
- Fix for splash position: removed ghost function and made window size update after creation immediate
- Fast undo buffer save now adds UI as well. Could be checked for regular file save even...
Quit.blend and temp file saving use this now.
- Dixed filename in window on reading quit.blend or temp saves, and they now add a warning in window title: "(Recovered)"
- New Userpref option "Keep Session" - this always saves quit.blend, and loads on start.
This allows keeping UI and data without actual saves, until you actually save.
When you load startup.blend and quit, it recognises the quit.blend as a startup (no file name in header)
- Added 3D view copy/paste buffers (selected objects). Shortcuts ctrl-c, ctrl-v (OSX, cmd-c, cmd-v).
Coded partial file saving for it. Could be used for other purposes. Todo: use OS clipboards.
- User preferences (themes, keymaps, user settings) now can be saved as a separate file.
Old option is called "Save Startup File" the new one "Save User Settings".
To visualise this difference, the 'save startup file' button has been removed from user preferences window. That option is available as CTRL+U and in File menu still.
- OSX: fixed bug that stopped giving mouse events outside window.
This also fixes "Continuous Grab" for OSX. (error since 2009)
* Split and moved Cycles’ render layers panels into the render_layer
context as well (would be nice to hide this context when not needed,
e.g. with the BGE, but this is not so easy to do nicely...).
* Fixed some inconsistencies with trunk (probably due to svn merge
glitches) using r52858 as reference. Also recovered the missing
release/bin/blender-softwaregl file.
* A bunch of style code fixes in Blender's own code (not Freestyle
itself yet): line lengths, spaces around operators, block formatting,
headers, etc. In rna_linestyle.c, color_blend_items was replaced by
ramp_blend_items (exported from rna_material.c).
This commit allows you to set the RGB <-> XYZ axis colours used for things like
the mini axis indicator, grid axis indicators, manipulators, transform
constraint indicators, F-Curves (when using XYZ to RGB colouring option), and
perhaps something else I've missed. Previously, these places all used hardcoded
defines (220 * i/j/k), but the readability of these colours was often quite
poor, especially when used with certain themes.
The settings for these colours can be found under the "User Interface" section
of the themes (i.e. same set of colours is used across editors). I could have
made these per editor, but since it's unlikely that these will need to be too
different across editors in practice (+ being easier to version patch), they are
stored under the UI section.
from special NDOF menu, added them in user preferences as well now. Also made it do
proper version patch for conversion from old user preferences, and changed turntable
choice from a boolean to enum for consistency.
- Added initialization of frame node color to default theme loading
Used default color from 2.63a theme, should be pretty fine as default.
- Added some missing versioning checks which lead to differences between
startup.blend and default theme restored.
Additional changes:
- Option to the ndof menu letting you pick turntable/trackball independently
of the mouse viewport navigation style
- Option to change the rotation sensitivity separate from the panning
Holding shift + moving the ndof does just as before locking it to panning
Holding ctrl + moving will lock it to only rotation
