From the tracker:::
Issues fixed:
- ConeTwist-constraint's params weren't making it to the CcdPhysicsEnvironment, also added Hinge's params.
- UI wasn't using angles where applicable.
- btHingeConstraint's constructor can create frame-matrices which don't align so the hinge doesn's start at 0 degree tilt.
This is an issue when setting limits.
Changes:
- UI: Hinge limits can be set (and disabled).
- UI: ConeTwist only has max-limits and only the twistX can be disabled
- PyApi via rna_constraint.c: added the functions limit_xyz_min, limit_xyz_max (for 6dof), limit_angle_xyz_min,
limit_angle_xyz_max (for 6dof), limit_angle_x_min, limit_angle_x_max (for hinge).
- PyApi: dropped python-function limit_cone_min.
.:. Extra:
UI Changes:
- renamed "RigidBody Joint" to "Rigid Boidy Joint"
- reorganized UI to conform with other parameters (e.g. Limit Rot)
- added dis/active all over the place :)
* More code cleanup.
When removing the narrow_ui feature, a lot of split functions were kept. Changed them to rows, which are more easily readable. Check out properties_data_lattice.py for a good example.
markers.
This is useful for when working with lipsync shots, where you've used
markers for noting down key syllables and want to separate these out
into chunks to manage things better.
Layer height used to be controlled with brush radius, quite confusing decision.
Added new property for brushes - height for adjusting affectable brush height
(it could be not only layer height in the future).
* This is basically a total rewrite of the edge split algorithm. The old one didn't handle tris at all and quads were cut wrong in some cases too with the addition of not handling uv coordinates at all.
* This new algorithm uses a flag system to categorize different splits and the identical but rotated cases in a similar way to how marching cubes indexes different cases.
* It cuts quads and tris and creates proper uv's for the new faces too.
* I also renamed the option to "edge cut" to differentiate if from the edge split modifier and added an option to override a uv-channel in the exploded mesh with particle age as x-coordinate so that the shrapnel can be faded out nicely etc.

mostly because of the recent changes in normalmap channels,
so users can adopt old bakes quickly.
though they might aswell prove useful in other situations.
Now we have the old UI again, as suggested by several developers on the Mailing List.
At least for simple materials. For Node Materials we keep the new Pipeline panel.
This should make both sides happy. :)
problem was on installing a file which was already installed, when the source and target paths match python deleted the file.
now check if the selected file is inside any of the addon search paths and abort with an error.
From the patch description:
"A new panel is proposed to bring togheter all the properties of a material that belong to the render pipeline level.
Such properties are currently not mixable with node materials, as nodes operate on a shader level."
Commiting this patch as approved in the sundy meeting.
* Particle system's are comparable to texture slots, which can
only exist within an id block. Particle settings on the other
hand are idblocks which should be pinnable just like textures.
* When particle settings are pinned only properties that make
sense without the actual particle system are shown in the
particle panel.
* Now texture pinning works consistently for all textures.
* The only problem is that there is no way to pin textures if there are
no textures in the context path, so it's for example impossible to pin
the texture of a displace modifier without adding a texture somewhere
else and selecting that texture first. I my opinion this is quite
counter productive so perhaps a dedicated "only textures" texture
context option is needed after all.
* All the various index-related issues should finally be sorted now.
It seems you cannot just partially implement some of these active
index getter/setters...
* Standardised the call used by PoseLib operators to get the Object
from which they get the active PoseLib data from
* PoseLib operators which require some existing data to work now use a
poll() which checks for this
* Added back the operator used to make standard actions into ones
usable by PoseLib
* Added a dummy operator for the apply active pose button which really
just calls the same backend functions as "Browse Interactive", but
which has a nicer frontend (naming + description) for the purpose of
being used in this way
* Also, removed some useless code from here
- Added operator button to show the current pose. This runs on top of
the interactive pose browse functionality, so the tooltip may be a bit
obtuse...
- Specifying a pose for the Pose browse functionality to set now works
correctly. Previously, some old depsgraph hacks were actually
interferring with correct updating (only the armature updated
correctly, but deforms didn't occur)
- Fixed a case of accessing freed memory, which I'm surprised no
static checkers have reportedly picked up on yet, or that nobody has
really had issues with (probably due to low memory "turnaround" so
far)
This presents a UI from which PoseLibs can be assigned/removed from
Objects. From here, it is also possible to see the list of poses and
add/remove poses from this list.
Known Issues:
- [Py/RNA/Operators BUG ALERT!] If after immediately starting Blender
you try to remove a pose from the PoseLib using the UI buttons, you'll
get a an error the first time you do so (but not for subsequent
attempts). This seems to be caused by the "pose" enum (dynamically
generated) of the POSELIB_OT_pose_remove operator, which does not seem
to be getting initialised when the operator's exec gets called without
the invoke having been called previously
- Changing the active Pose Library still seems to be broken (to be
fixed soon)
Todos:
- Operator button to make the selected pose get shown in the 3d view
- Restore the "validate action" operator and add that to this panel
- Rename pose access
unawaliable state.
- Also changed dynamic space bar menu, so it now also wouldn't allow to
set brush stroke flags to unavaliable state.
Also tried to remove use_anchor, use_space, use_restore_mesh and
use_airbrush, so user would be unable to set flags to unavaliable state,
but it was quite difficult for non-sculpt paint modes. They don't support
all of stroke methods, so brush.stroke_method can't be used for them.
Keep this area unchanged for now.

This commit separates out this selection functionality out of the
click-selection operator into a separate operator, so that hotkeys and
menu entries can be assigned to it.
This is based on an idea+patch (#23738) submitted by Torsten Rupp
(rupp), though I've ultimately decided not to go with the suggested
implementation as I don't think this fits that well under the "column"
select operator.
Todo: Graph Editor support will be coming shortly...
* New option to distribute particles in a hexagonal grid.
* This is much more stable for fluids than normal grid distribution and looks quite nice otherwise too :)
* Also some small scale code cleanup of grid distribution code.
* Renamed the old split uv's animate option "time" to "age" and added a new option to change the used split frame by frame. These are good changes were suggested/implied by Hannu Hoffren over 3 years ago in his tutorial video! (oh my how time flies)
* Also cleaned up the billboard ui quite a bit. For example now the uv channels can be properly chosen from the existing channels.
* Greetings from farsthary: particle rotation is now taken into account for particle effector direction.
** This gives all kinds of new possibilities as he shows in his blog http://farsthary.wordpress.com/2011/02/08/vortex-particle-simple-tut/.
**The only modification I made to his patch was to use the actual rotated particle direction as the effector direction as this defaults to the particle velocity vector, so no actual new options are needed.
* I also added an "effector amount" setting for particle effectors so that only a part of the particles can be considered as effectors. This makes it possible to create simple "farsthary vortexes" with only one particle system.
* Also some tiny reorganization of the falloff min/max values for a nicer ui.
* Effecting particle properties with textures was possible in 2.49,
but not in 2.5 anymore.
* Now particles have their own textures (available in texture panel
for objects with particle systems), which are totally separate from
the material textures.
* Currently a basic set of particle properties is available for
texture control. Some others could still be added, but the whole
system is not intended as an "change anything with a texture" as
this kind of functionality will be provided with node particles in
the future much better.
* Combined with the previously added "particle texture coordinates"
this new functionality also solves the problem of animating particle
properties through the particle lifetime nicely.
* Currently the textures only use the intensity of the texture in
"multiply" blending mode, so in order for the textures to effect
a particle parameter there has to be a non-zero value defined for
the parameter in the particle settings. Other blend modes can be
added later if they're considered useful enough.
This removes auto-registration, committed by Martin r30961.
Realize this is a contentious topic but Brecht and myself both would rather opt-in registration.
TODO:
- addons need updating.
- class list will be modified to use weakrefs (should have been done for existing system too).
- will move bpy.types.(un)register functions into bpy.utils.(un)register_class, currently including these functions in a type list is internally ugly, scripts which loop over types also need to check for these.
