Made some UI operators not register themselves in the console. This made macro creation a pain because the operator list would have tons of splits and other UI commends mixed in with actual data manipulation.
Moved Repeat Last from Ctrl-R to Shift-R so it doesn't conflict with loop cut, whenever it is added.
Moved to modern OS standards for opening, saving, copying, pasting, cutting (text), new document, undo and redo.
For Mac users, Cmd is used in addition to the Ctrl-based shortcuts.
These changes are made according to an agreement among developers on IRC.
* Split object_edit.c into multiple files:
object_add.c, object_edit.c, object_hook.c, object_relations.c,
object_select.c, object_transform.c.
* Rename files to have consistent object_ and mball_ prefix:
object_shapekey.c, object_lattice.c, object_vgroup.c, mball_edit.c.
* Added operators:
* vertex group menu and set active
* apply location, rotation, scale, visual transform (location is new)
* make local
* make vertex parent
* move to layer
* convert to curve/mesh (not finished yet)
* Many small fixes for marked issues, but still much code to be cleaned
up here...
* Some of the patches in patch #19034 - by Wolfgang W. (bender)
- outliner.patch - a small fix to make the outliner draw the last
line of the list, if the list is bigger than the window.
- scroll.patch - enables vertical scrolling in the buttons window in horizontal mode. Necessary if a panel is opened that
is higher than the buttons window.
* Also, fixed some messy comments in drivers code
bpy.data, bpy.ops.object etc.
- added basic docs for bpy.props
- omit panel, menu and operator classes (took up too much space and not useful)
- exec cant be used as an operator suffix eg- CONSOLE_OT_exec --> CONSOLE_OT_execute (same for file)
- fixed some crashes when generating docs
Updated docs here

* Grease Pencil works again from Image Editor now. For now, the GPencil datablock is linked to the Image Editor space, but this can be changed if need be.
* Made Grease Pencil hotkeys into a separate Grease Pencil keymap, which can get included automagically like for frames/ui/v2d/etc. by supplying ED_KEYMAP_GPENCIL as part of st->keymapflag
* Temporarily restored the nasty hack to make View2D-aligned sketches in Image Editor to use OpenGL lines only. I still dunno why this doesn't work normally.
(Probably related is that strokes are not visible when there's no image visible atm).

Changed the important search menu to Space key.
Old hotkeys are still preserved, at least for now.
* Popup menus now remember the last clicked item again.
* Modifier and File Format menus are now organized in multiple
columns with categories.
* Hook, explode, uv project modifiers have all their buttons
again with the relevant operators implemented.
* Modifiers that can't be added by the user, or don't work on
curves for example, are not in the menu anymore.
* Fix search menu overlapping buttons when near the bottom of
the screen.
* Fix uv layers search menu not working in some modifiers.
* Cleanup popup menu code a bit, layout engine is used in more
cases now instead of ugly position calculation code.
1) This fits with our splitting the old Buttons Window into Tools and Properties
2) The name Buttons Window doesn't communicate what it is for, only that it includes buttons. Of course, most other editors include a fair amount of 'buttons' too.
3) A 'button' is not usually what you'd associate with a slider, number field, checkbox or menu. Really there are hardly any true buttons in this window space.
Also added some notifiers to sequencer RNA, though there seems to be some refresh errors in the image preview area.
possible from python, but it's still work in progress.
Pointers and collections are restricted to types derived from
IDPropertyGroup (same as for operators), because RNA knows how to
allocate/deallocate those.
Collections have .add() and .remove(number) functions that can be
used. The remove function should be fixed to take an other argument
than a number.
With the IDPropertyGroup restriction, pointers are more like nested
structs. They don't have add(), remove() yet, not sure where to put
them. Currently the pointer / nested struct is automatically allocated
in the get() function, this needs to be fixed, rule is that RNA get()
will not change any data for thread safety.
Also, it is only possible to add properties to structs after they have
been registered, which needs to be improved as well.

Stablity commit: on render, all running jobs are stopped now (previews,
composite, screencast). First render has to be more threadsafe, to allow
multiple renders simulatenously.
* Reverse playback works again. Flag was getting overriden before it had a chance to do anything
* Active KeyingSet field in TimeLine header should now only be marked as editable when there are some Keying Sets. However, there still seems to be a bug when trying to change this...
TODO (Brecht?): it would be nice to be able to specify a list/collection of data for pointer-buttons that aren't ID's.
* Add RenderResult.load_from_file to load whole multilayer exr's at once.
* Removed x/y offset from RenderLayer.load_from_file, better to encourage
using offset in begin_result() to minimize memory usage.
* Added WITH_OPENEXR in some screen/file/image module for scons/make, exr
was not working in some places there.
* Use scene->r.audio instead of scene->audio everywhere, was using both still.
* Fix time_top_left_3dwindow link error, not sure why this happens, somehow
with scons building it seems that files (like time_header.c) wich are not
called from the same .a module get stripped?
* Move sound_init to make sure it gets called everytime user
preferences is reloaded.
* Merged sound_reinit and sound_init. One used user preferences
while the other did not, don't see the point of this, so just
made it always use user preferences now.
* Timeline header audio sync option now controls scene flag
rather than timeline flag. Since it uses the same playback
operator now, there is no distinction anymore.
* Added boolean property sync to animation play operator, to sync
with audio or not. Uses scene setting if property is not set.
* Playback stop button in info header now calls operator, so sounds
stop playing too.
Muscle flexing commit; put the "any key modifier" to work, also exposed
(ugly) in keymap editor. Notes for it works:
- You can use any keyboard key to become modifier now (not mouse buttons)
- But, if this key was assigned to be a regular hotkey, that still gets
triggered, obviously.
- So: only use unused keys for this, like "~" or other special ones?
For test fun: L+K now does animplay.
Flaw in python UI for headers: code missing to correctly set the total
width of header, plus obsolete call in view3d header template to set width.
Now MMB scroll of view3d header works again.
* Pose mode was already object-localized, but moved the flag from object->flag to object->mode, with all the other modes.
* Updated object mode RNA
* Commented out some dubious use of base->flag with the posemode flag. So far as I could see the value was only being set, not read, so a hopefully safe change.
* Made texture paint object-localized too.
Note for Brecht: gpu_draw.c had three uses of G_TEXTUREPAINT that I was not able to cleanly fix, so commented out for now. Can you take a look and see what should be done here?
* Weightpaint is now object-local like sculpt and vertexpaint.
* Fixed a bug spotted by DingTo, going from editmode to sculptmode didn't fully leave editmode
* Made sculpt mode local to object.
* This also fixes loading files from 2.4x saved in sculptmode
Touched a lot of things here, let me know if anything breaks
TODO:
* The other paint modes should be converted as well
Implementation Note:
* Moved the scene copy/unlink code back into blenkernel, with
the exception of the copy single user stuff which is still in
object_edit.c.
* Uses SCREENDELETE notifier like SCREENBROWSE, seems only clean
way to do this now.
* Added some optimisations to avoid having to try evaluating some data that won't have any effect.
* Converted playback buttons in timeline header to use operators too
* When doing realtime recording of animation (i.e. transforming objects + bones while animation playback is running, and auto-keying is enabled), animation will be added to a new NLA Track+Strip combo everytime a single 'loop' of the frame range has finished. This will allow 'passes' over the animation to be less destructive.
* Made the evaluation of the active action (when NLA data is present), be handled as part of the normal NLA system evaluation code (as if it were just another strip in a track at the end). The immediate benefit is that there are now some settings (available in the "Animation Data" panel in the NLA Editor with a strip selected) which allow for the way the active action is combined with the NLA stack results. For instance, the way that the action extrapolates is used in the recording tweaks above.
* When resizing the window, the top position is now preserved,
instead of the center position.
* Fix zoom level not being preserved in various cases, when
changing both with and height. This replaces some earlier code
which did this at screen level but wasn't very reliable.
* Different tabs now each preserve their own scroll.
* When switching between tabs, it now scrolls to show as many
buttons as possible, instead of possibly showing empty space.
There is a trade-off here between doing that keeping the
buttons in the same place, no ideal solution exists I think.
* Change zooming in/out to be symmetric, for example doing
numpad + then - did not give the original zoom level back.
* Added some calls to avoid hanging tooltips when manipulating
the view.
Internals:
* Added V2D_KEEPOFS_X and V2D_KEEPOFS_Y to keep the top/bottom
rather than the center.
* Renamed V2D_KEEPZOOM to V2D_LIMITZOOM (seems more appropriate),
and make V2D_KEEPZOOM preserve the zoom level.
- It is possible to work with MetaBalls in edit mode now
- Added basic UI to the button window (feel free to change it :-))
- Header menus should work
- Undo & redo should work
- Removed global variable editelems and lastelem (moved it to the MetaBall struct)
- All tools from old editmball.c was converted to the operators
- Added lastelem to the RNA
- Experimental: mb->editelems is only pointer at mb->elems or NULL (depends on Mode). ListBase of MetaElems is not duplicated in edit mode.
Tested with scons at Linux and mac OS X
TODO:
- Recalc data after Undo or Redo
- Solve issue with basic MetaBall and Python UI script (only base MetaBall object influence Wiresize and Threshold)
- Fix orientation of manipulator in "Normal mode"
* Image window only show game properties in game mode.
* Fix image window render info drawing wrong with alpha enabled.
* Win32 editmode cursor now uses a different one than the system
cursor, that one is barely visible, especially in the new theme
colors.
* Center text in operator header print.
* Fix sequencer unlock shortcut key.
* Fix uv layer / vertex color active render button now graying out.
* Workaround to get default zoom level 1:1 again for new buttons
(will try to fix properly later, is due to scrollbars).
* Side panels now use list widgets.
* Enabled theme colors for side panel.
* Add button in bookmarks panel.
* Operator panel title now uses operator name.
* For unix, added / to system, and home and desktop to bookmarks.
* For opening fileselect with filter, cleaned up the code a bit,
adding WM_operator_properties_filesel instead of duplicating code.
* Also added filter for all operators calling fileselect, only image
and file open did it before.
* Hide . files by default, and also hide files ending with ~.
* Added back .. (but not .) in the file list, I really missed this.
* File highlight now only happens when you're actually over a file,
instead staying after you move the mouse away.
* Fix some redraw/refresh issues.
Various fixes for painting, sculpting and particle edit, still
much to be done...
* Move RNA paint and sculpt structs into rna_sculpt_paint.c,
* Added Particle Edit RNA.
* Some tweaks to existing Paint RNA.
* Put texture paint and particle edit object in context.
* Fix some errors in the brush layout, properly doing None
checks, fixing some wrong property identifiers.
* Added tool enum for texture paint and particle edit in panels.
* Allow editing brush textures in the texture buttons, still with
a stupid toggle, ideas for how to make the connection better are
welcome.
