This patch adds:
* support for proxy building again (missing feature from Blender 2.49)
additionally to the way, Blender 2.49 worked, you can select several
strips at once and make Blender build proxies in the background (using
the job system)
Also a new thing: movie proxies are now build into AVI files, and
the proxy system is moved into ImBuf-library, so that other parts
of blender can also benefit from it.
* Timecode support: to fix seeking issues with files, that have
a) varying frame rates
b) very large GOP lengths
c) are broken inbetween
d) use different time code tracks
the proxy builder can now also build timecode indices, which are
used (optionally) for seeking.
For the first time, it is possible, to do frame exact seeking on
all file types.
* Support for different video-streams in one video file (can be
selected in sequencer, other parts of blender can also use it,
but UI has to be added accordingly)
* IMPORTANT: this patch *requires* ffmpeg 0.7 or newer, since
older versions don't support the pkt_pts field, that is essential
for building timecode indices.
Windows and Mac libs are already updated, Linux-users have to build
their own ffmpeg verions until distros keep up.
added _prop suffix to ui functions which take a prop rather then a propname, may change this later since its not that nice but for gsoc branches this keeps existing UI functions working the same.
The Keying Set paths list now shows the icon of the type of ID-block
that a path item refers to. This make it easier to make snese of the
paths shown in the list.
* Use the same method as from unlinking actions to do this.
* Split off the make single-user code used for the ID-browser into a
function in blenkernel which can be used elsewhere. Getting materials
to also work using this method proved to be a bit too tricky (due to
the whole messy ob vs obdata situation), so I haven't done that.
- fix: user pref, window title was reset to 'Blender' on tab usage
- Undo history menu back:
- name "Undo History"
- hotkey alt+ctrl+z (alt+apple+z for mac)
- works like 2.4x, only for global undo, editmode and particle edit.
- Menu scroll
- for small windows or screens, popup menus now allow to display
all items, using internal scrolling
- works with a timer, scrolling 10 items per second when mouse
is over the top or bottom arrow
- if menu is too big to display, it now draws to top or bottom,
based on largest available space.
- also works for hotkey driven pop up menus.
- User pref "DPI" follows widget/layout size
- widgets & headers now become bigger and smaller, to match
'dpi' font sizes. Works well to match UI to monitor size.
- note that icons can get fuzzy, we need better mipmaps for it

From the patch description:
ValterVB on #blendercoders submitted a long list of missing tooltips in Blender, and I went through the list and added all I knew. After that I crowdsourced the rest by putting a spreadsheet on Google docs and having people fill in the missing ones that I didn't know. So if there's some weird tooltip in there that doesn't make sense, that's why.
Thanks to Wolter, spacetug and others on BlenderArtists for contributing tooltips.
* Implemented a new operator "WM_OT_properties_context_change" to switch to a different tab inside the properties window.
* This is used now inside the Modifier tab for Simulation Modifiers. Based on a mockup by Janne Karhu:
http://www.pasteall.org/pic/11261http://www.pasteall.org/pic/11262
Rather than having a delete button there anymore, the button changes the context to Physics/Particles, where you can edit the settings and delete the actual simulation.
- Assigning local materials to library objects disabled
(crashes on undo/redo cases)
- Disabling options in Material buttons to add/remove slots
on library data
- Drawing Object ID template in Object properties, this
allows browse active Object, but especially shows library
status then.
Now this gives the line number of the scripts thats running, eg:
uiItemFullO: unknown operator 'some.operator'
/c/bin/2.56/scripts/startup/bl_ui/space_view3d_toolbar.py:73
Tried to resolve todo item "Layer change in 3d view header doesn't update
dependencies on changed previously visible objects". Code is too much spread
around now though, and the 3d view header shares RNA code for changing layers.
I'll let this be a "glitch" for now.
- WITH_OPENJPEG wasn't defined for creator.c with CMake.
- remove shadowed/redefined vars.
- remove some unused RNA report args.
- re-arrange IMB_FILE_TYPES so IRIS is not the first format tested, since its not very common test JPEG and PNG first.
popup appears, saving an extra click
I've separated out the "XXX"-'d event-adding-hack section from the
search-menu code into a separate API function (as recommended there).
This call is used to make sure that textboxes in popups can get
activated by default, to allow typing immediately.
most local modifier,GPU,ImBuf and Interface functions are now static.
also fixed an error were the fluid modifier definition and the header didnt have the same number of args.
Added new option for applyong modifiers on splines' points. This moves
tesselation point and path would be affected by modifiers which are applied on
splines' points.
also minor functional changes
- OBJECT_OT_make_links_data() type property is now assigned to the operator property (so popup menu can find it)
- removing BG image now returns cancelled if no image is removed.
The icons for materials were always lagging or not updating
at all. I also found it suspicious slow...
It appeared that the icons now store a "mip level", where for
every change in Materials 2 render jobs for icons were started,
one for 32x32 pix, one for 96x96. The latter was cancelling out
the first job almost always.
Also made preview renders detect size, to set amount of tiles
to be rendered. Small icons use 1 part, larger previews 16 now.
All in all, behaves much smoother now! But, will also update
the thread Jobs manager to allow "delayed jobs" like for icons,
these are aggressively put as first in the jobs list.
- rather then use unlink="None", just don't pass unlink as a keyword. This is more pythonic.
- added an RNA flag for properties which cant be unlinked by setting to None.
Property buttons: the "ID template" allowed to unlink data from object,
like Mesh or Curve etc, which is not supported. Button now is hidden.
Thanks Dan Eicher for patch.
Also: improved tooltip for 'data browse'. It was generic, now it gives
specific per-type information.
