effect for a render engine using new shading nodes. In short:
* No longer uses images assigned to faces in the uv layer, rather the active
image texture node is what is edited/painted/drawn.
* Textured draw type now shows the active image texture node, with solid
lighting.
* Material draw mode shows GLSL shader of a simplified material node tree,
using solid lighting.
* Textures for modifiers, brushes, etc, are now available from a dropdown in
the texture tab in the properties editor. These do not use new shading nodes
yet.

Summary:
========
The idea here is to move the texface options into the material panel.
For images with the change please visit:
http://code.blender.org/index.php/2011/09/bge-material-texface-changes
1 - Some of the legacy problems 2.49 and 2.5x has with the texface system:
==========================================================================
1.1) Shadow, Bilboard and Halo are mutual exclusive (in the code), yet you can
select a face to be more than one mode.
1.2) Sort only works for blend Alpha yet it's an option regardless of the
Transparency Blend you pick.
1.3) Shared doesn't affect anything in BGE.
1.4) ObColor only works for Text objects (old bitmap texts) when using Texture
Face Materials. (not address yet, I so far ignored obcolor)
2 - Notes:
============
2.1) Now "Use Face Textures" in material Option panel will work in Multitexture
even if there is no texture channel.
2.2) In FaceTexture mode it will use TexFace all the time, even if you don't
check the "Use Texture Face" option in the UI. It's a matter of decision, since
the code for either way is there. I decided by the solution that makes the
creation of a material fast - in this mode the user doesn't need to mess with
textures or this "Use Texture Face" option at all. I'm not strong in my opinion
here. But I think if we don't have this then what is the point of the Texture
Face mode?
2.3) I kept references for tface only when we need the image, UV or the tiling
setting. It should help later when/if we split the Image and UV layers from the
tface struct (Campbell and Brecht proposal).
3 - Changes in a Nutshell:
==========================
3.1) "Texture Face" panel (in the Mesh/Object Data panel) no longer exists. Those settings are all part of the material properties, visible when Game Render is set.
3.2) "Texture Face" Shading mode (in the Render panel) is now called “Single Texture”, it needs a material for special settings (e.g. Billboard, Alpha Sort, …).
3.3) New options in the Material Panel
* Shadeless option in the Material panel is now supported for all three Shading modes.
* Physics is now toggleable, this is the old Collision option.
* Two Side (on) is now called Back Culling (off).
* Alpha Sort is one of the Alpha options, together (and mutually exclusive) to Alpha Blend, Alpha Clip, Add and Opaque (i.e. solid).
* Shadow, Billboard and Halo are grouped in the “Face Orientation” property.
* "Face Textures" and "Face Textures Alpha" (under Options) can be used for all but GLSL shading mode (to be supported in GLSL eventually).
* The backend in the game engine is still the same as before. The only changes are in the interface and in the way you need to think your materials. The bottomline is: It’s no longer possible to share materials between faces that do not share the same game properties.
4 - Acknowledgment:
==================
Mike Pan for the design discussions, and testing along the whole development process.
Vitor Balbio for the first hands-on code with the interface changes. That helped me a lot to push me into work on that.
Benoit Bolsee and Brecht van Lommel for patch review (* no one reviewed the whole patch, or the latest iteractions, so I still hold liability for any problems).
Blender artists that gave feedback and helped testing the patch.
Patch review and original documentation can be found here:

This patch adds anisotropic filtering of textures in the viewport and the BGE. The quality of the filtering is adjustable in the user preferences under System. For more information on anisotropic filtering:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anisotropic_filtering
One current limitation of this setup (having the option a user preference) is it makes runtimes more troublesome. Runtimes don't have user preferences set, so for now the blender player defaults to 2x AF. Options will be added later to change this value (probably a command line option).
This fix also allows for partial update of the image, speeding up painting.
The different code path implemented will be used to upload high resolution images to OpenGL when onion branch is merged.
Due to conversion of float textures to/from sRGB, corrections made to brush color sampling to take account of the image profile. This is not 100% correct yet as texture images used for projection painting strokes are not converted to/from sRGB yet(This has been decided due to loss of precision for 8-bit formats). It will have to do for now, though.
last-minute update, exr image loading is broken, will fix asap
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.
Object color option now is incorporated in preview render, and
in display in 3D window.
Note that Object-color is "modulating" the render result, it just
multiplies... which is very limited for practical use. This was
added for Apricot game project. The original meaning however was
to replace diffuse only... so specular and light work still correct.
ALso made header for properties editor start on top, to reflect
default (report in tracker).
Here is a image of it in action:
http://www.pasteall.org/pic/show.php?id=6351
What it monitors:
* VRAM used by textures created via bf_gpu and BL_Textures
What it does not monitor:
* VRAM used by the Blender ui
* VRAM used by 2d filters
* VRAM allocated by the user via KX_Scene.pre_draw and KX_Scene.pre_draw
- image filepath in the image view would only be set when first loading a frame.
- check to free animated image buffers on opengl render was comparing against the wrong value.
- made smallcaps use a temp flag so caps can still have the smallcaps flag.
- utility function for getting the char from a font. find_vfont_char(), was inline in ~5 places.
- removed CU_STYLE mix of flags only used in one place, not needed. removed 'style' from rna too.
- fix for some warnings.
The problem was present in Blender 2.49, but it didn't produce any side effect.
glScale was changing the texture matrix and the matrix was never been reset. That messes up with UI drawing.
