This is purely internal sanitizing/cleanup, no change in behavior is expected at all.
This change was also needed because we were getting short on ID flags, and
future enhancement of 'user_one' ID behavior requires two new ones.
id->flag remains for persistent data (fakeuser only, so far!), this also allows us
100% backward & forward compatibility.
New id->tag is used for most flags. Though written in .blend files, its content
is cleared at read time.
Note that .blend file version was bumped, so that we can clear runtimeflags from
old .blends, important in case we add new persistent flags in future.
Also, behavior of tags (either status ones, or whether they need to be cleared before/after use)
has been added as comments to their declaration.

We have currently a gooseberry file (scenes/01_island/01_meet_franck/01_01_01_A/01_01_01_A.anim.blend)
that links against two -pre repo libs, which are hence not available for common mortals,
and generate warnings and placeholders during load step.
Issue is, among those missing (directly) linked datablocks, we have two shapekeys!
This should never happen nor be possible at all. I tried understanding how this could happen,
with no luck at all, best bet would be some wild/bad call to `id_us_plus()` over those skeys
at some point...
Anyway, this commit:
- Handles a bit better those 'cases that should never happen' at load time.
- Adds several checks in ID handling code (and save/load code) to try to detect where/when
a non-linkable datablock becomes LIB_EXTERN (i.e. directly linked).
KX_IPOActuator is not used since 2.4.
This patch removes:
- KX_IPOActuator.h/cpp;
- Python doc;
- Write of IPO actuator in write.c;
- Allocation of IPOactuator in sca.c;
- Conversion in KX_ConvertActuators.cpp;
- Initialization of the python proxy in KX_PythonInitTypes.cpp;
- Other minor remove in logic_windows.c and in KX_PythonInit.cpp.

Shutter curve now can be controlled using curve mapping widget in the motion
blur panel in Render buttons. Only mapping from 0..1 by x axis are allowed,
Y values will be normalized to fill in 0..1 space as well automatically.
Y values of 0 means fully closed shutter, Y values of 1 means fully opened
shutter.
Default mapping is set to old behavior when shutter opens and closes instantly.
This shutter mapping curve could easily be used by any other render engine by
accessing scene.render.motion_blur_shutter_curve.

Primary goal of this commit is to fix an annoying issue - when processing and saving .blend
files in background mode you lose their thumbnails, since it can only be generated with
an OpenGL context.
Solution to that is to read .blend thumbnail while reading .blend file (only done in background
mode currently), and store it in Main struct.
Also, this lead to removing .blend file reading code from thumb_blend (no need to have doublons).
We now have a small interface in regular reading code area, which keeps it reasonbaly light
by only reading/parsing header info, and first few BHead blocks.
This makes code reading .blend thumbnail about 3 to 4 times slower than previous highly specialized
one in blend_thumb.c, but overall thumbnail generation of a big .blend files folder only grows
of about 1%, think we can bare with it.
Finally, since thumbnail is now optionally stored in Main struct, it makes it easy to allow user
to define their own custom one (instead of auto-generated one). RNA API for this was not added though,
accessing that kind of .blend meta-data has to be rethought a bit on a bigger level first.

Issue is rather well explained in T45471: our current customdata writing code easily generates several different blocks in blend file with same 'old' address. This is bad, because those addresses are used as 'uid' during reading process (it kind of work in Blender's own reading process, by mere luck mostly, but breaks the file specs).
Solution (suggested by Campbell, thanks) implemented by this patch is to avoid duplicating everything, and instead just overwrite what we needs to skip some cdlayers on write:
* the CustomData's `totlayer` number;
* the CustomData's `layers` array of CustomDataLayer (keeping its original address using the `writestruct_at_address` helper).
New design allows us to get completely rid of the no_free flag stuff in `write_customdata()`.
Note that this implies written data is **not** directly valid from Blend PoV, since its written typemap does not match written layers (this is not an issue because typemap is rebuilt on read anyway - and it's easy to fix this if really needed).
Also, the backward compatibility saving of mface data remains an issue here, see comment in code.

Is pretty much what it says :)
Easy subtitles for everyone!
Supports size, positioning,
a cheap shadow effect (probably will need more work),
and autocentering on x axis.
Now you can go wild with long spanish names
in your soap opera videos.
Will probably be refined as days go by,
but at least it's now ready for testing.
Use first packed image as legacy image->packedfile, so saving .blend file with
latest builds makes it so packed images are not lost when opening with previous
releases.
This will only work reliably if mutliview is not used, otherwise it'll be only
first view in the .blend file, which is rather expected since previous releases
are not aware of views.
This one was nasty, issue comes with temp/nofree CD layers that get 'removed on the fly'
from saved mesh CDData. Since mesh struct itself was written before that cleanup, it would
still have the old, invalid number of layers. That would lead to a buffer overflow when
loading data later (odd you had to do this twice (i.e. have 2 'ghost' layers) to get the crash).
New code prevents that by always making a copy of the mesh (we were already doing that mostly
anyway, since we were saving without tessfaces), copying (by ref of course) in it cddata,
and then writing mesh struct. Makes code a bit more verbose, but... it works!

Missing Bits
============
First rule of Multi-View bug report: If something is not working as it should *when Views is off* this is a severe bug, do mention this in the report.
Second rule is, if something works *when Views is off* but doesn't (or crashes) when *Views is on*, this is a important bug. Do mention this in the report.
Everything else is likely small todos, and may wait until we are sure none of the above is happening.
Apart from that there are those known issues:
* Compositor Image Node poorly working for Multi-View OpenEXR
(this was working prefectly before the 'Use Multi-View' functionality)
* Selecting camera from Multi-View when looking from camera is problematic
* Animation Playback (ctrl+F11) doesn't support stereo formats
* Wrong filepath when trying to play back animated scene
* Viewport Rendering doesn't support Multi-View
* Overscan Rendering
* Fullscreen display modes need to warn the user
* Object copy should be aware of views suffix

This commit introduces a few ready made effects for the 3D viewport
and OpenGL rendering.
Included effects are Depth of Field, accessible from camera view
and screen space ambient occlusion. Those effects can be turned on and
tweaked from the shading panel in the 3D viewport.
Off screen rendering will use the settings of the current camera.

structs to paint struct (might be useful for vertex paint too in the
future)
Cavity masking now has a curve control. The control will set the amount
of masking for positive cavity ("pointness") or negative cavity
("cavity") with x axis being the amount of cavity and 0.0 = full cavity,
1.0 = full pointness, 0.5 = no cavity and the y axis being the amount of
alpha.
Using different scenes with 2+ windows broke entirely using undo.
Now keep track of the current windows scene in each undo-file,
and ensure the undo-scene is on a visible window when undo is executed,
switching the scene only when its not in a visible window.
- Add falloff types & curves (matching warp-modifier)
- Add uniform scale option,
important when adding hooks to non-uniform scaled objects,
especially for use with lattice objects which can't avoid uneven scaling.
This uses relative transformation set when the hook is assigned,
when measuring the distances.
This is an alternative method to the current fixed function with a
clump factor and "shape" parameter. This function is quite limited and
does not give the desired result in many cases (e.g. long, parallel
rasta strands are problematic). So rather than trying to add more
parameters there is now a fully user-defined optional curve for setting
the tapering shape.
This merge-commit brings in a number of new features and workflow/UI improvements for
working with Grease Pencil. While these were originally targetted at improving
the workflow for creating 3D storyboards in Blender using the Grease Pencil,
many of these changes should also prove useful in other workflows too.
The main highlights here are:
1) It is now possible to edit Grease Pencil strokes
- Use D Tab, or toggle the "Enable Editing" toggles in the Toolbar/Properties regions
to enter "Stroke Edit Mode". In this mode, many common editing tools will
operate on Grease Pencil stroke points instead.
- Tools implemented include Select, Select All/Border/Circle/Linked/More/Less,
Grab, Rotate, Scale, Bend, Shear, To Sphere, Mirror, Duplicate, Delete.
- Proportional Editing works when using the transform tools
2) Grease Pencil stroke settings can now be animated
NOTE: Currently drivers don't work, but if time allows, this may still be
added before the release.
3) Strokes can be drawn with "filled" interiors, using a separate set of
colour/opacity settings to the ones used for the lines themselves.
This makes use of OpenGL filled polys, which has the limitation of only
being able to fill convex shapes. Some artifacts may be visible on concave
shapes (e.g. pacman's mouth will be overdrawn)
4) "Volumetric Strokes" - An alternative drawing technique for stroke drawing
has been added which draws strokes as a series of screen-aligned discs.
While this was originally a partial experimental technique at getting better
quality 3D lines, the effects possible using this technique were interesting
enough to warrant making this a dedicated feature. Best results when partial
opacity and large stroke widths are used.
5) Improved Onion Skinning Support
- Different colours can be selected for the before/after ghosts. To do so,
enable the "colour wheel" toggle beside the Onion Skinning toggle, and set
the colours accordingly.
- Different numbers of ghosts can be shown before/after the current frame
6) Grease Pencil datablocks are now attached to the scene by default instead of
the active object.
- For a long time, the object-attachment has proved to be quite problematic
for users to keep track of. Now that this is done at scene level, it is
easier for most users to use.
- An exception for old files (and for any addons which may benefit from object
attachment instead), is that if the active object has a Grease Pencil datablock,
that will be used instead.
- It is not currently possible to choose object-attachment from the UI, but
it is simple to do this from the console instead, by doing:
context.active_object.grease_pencil = bpy.data.grease_pencil["blah"]
7) Various UI Cleanups
- The layers UI has been cleaned up to use a list instead of the nested-panels
design. Apart from saving space, this is also much nicer to look at now.
- The UI code is now all defined in Python. To support this, it has been necessary
to add some new context properties to make it easier to access these settings.
e.g. "gpencil_data" for the datablock
"active_gpencil_layer" and "active_gpencil_frame" for active data,
"editable_gpencil_strokes" for the strokes that can be edited
- The "stroke placement/alignment" settings (previously "Drawing Settings" at the
bottom of the Grease Pencil panel in the Properties Region) is now located in
the toolbar. These were more toolsettings than properties for how GPencil got drawn.
- "Use Sketching Sessions" has been renamed "Continuous Drawing", as per a
suggestion for an earlier discussion on developer.blender.org
- By default, the painting operator will wait for a mouse button to be pressed
before it starts creating the stroke. This is to make it easier to include
this operator in various toolbars/menus/etc. To get it immediately starting
(as when you hold down DKEy to draw), set "wait_for_input" to False.
- GPencil Layers can be rearranged in the "Grease Pencil" mode of the Action Editor
- Toolbar panels have been added to all the other editors which support these.
8) Pie menus for quick-access to tools
A set of experimental pie menus has been included for quick access to many
tools and settings. It is not necessary to use these to get things done,
but they have been designed to help make certain common tasks easier.
- Ctrl-D = The main pie menu. Reveals tools in a context sensitive and
spatially stable manner.
- D Q = "Quick Settings" pie. This allows quick access to the active
layer's settings. Notably, colours, thickness, and turning
onion skinning on/off.
This patch includes the work done in the terrible consequencer branch
that hasn't been merged to master minus a few controversial and WIP
stuff, like strip parenting, new sequence data structs and cuddly
widgets.
What is included:
* Strip extensions only when slipping. It can very easily be made an
option but with a few strips with overlapping durations it makes view
too crowded and difficult to make out.
* Threaded waveform loading + code that restores waveforms on undo (not
used though, since sound_load recreates everything. There's a patch for
review D876)
* Toggle to enable backdrop in the strip sequence editor
* Toggle to easily turn on/off waveform display
* Snapping during transform on sequence boundaries. Snapping to start or
end of selection depends on position of mouse when invoking the operator
* Snapping of timeline indicator in sequencer to strip boundaries. To
use just press and hold ctrl while dragging.

Yep, at last it's here!
There are a few minor issues remaining but development can go on in

Thanks to Sergey and Campbell for the extensive review and to the
countless artists that have given their input and reported issues during
development.
Currently this gaussian blur implementation accumulates values in the
square kernel rather that doing X direction and then Y direction because
of the lack of using multiple-staged filters.
Once we can we'll implement a way to apply filter as multiple stages we
can optimize hell of a lot in here.
Another thing we can do is to use SSE2 instructions here.
Disclaimer: The author of this patch is Geoffrey Gollmer (gomer). I only updated the patch to the current git master status, reworked several parts to fit well with current coding style and applied several fixes.
This actuator allows users to show/hide the mouse cursor using logic bricks, as well as control object rotation with a mouse in the BGE.
The mouse rotation is flexible enough to allow any type of mouse look, as well as banking for flight controls.
