using mface->flag for both.
Also found that the cdDM_drawMappedFaces and cdDM_drawFacesTex_common could get normals mixed up when rendering hidden faces. because hidden/invisible faces used continue without advancing to the next normal.
- edges are generated from verse faces
- no support for lose edge!
- informations about edges aren't sent to verse server (other applications
can't share edges with blender)
- better sending/receiving vertex position
These can be created and deleted in the Mesh panel in the same place as
before. There is always one active UV and vertex color layer, that is
edited and displayed.
Important things to do:
- Render engine, material support
- Multires and NMesh now lose non active layers
Also CustomData changes to support muliple layers of the same type, and
changes to layer allocation, updated documentation is here:
http://mediawiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderDev/BlenderArchitecture/CustomData
- Curve/Nurbs/Font/MBall now all draw arrays.
- had to flip abgr to rgba in shaded drawing
- Mesh drawing can't be easily done; the indices for faces are not in
in one chunk. Also need a way to gether trias/quads, per material.
Speedup results are mixed. Something between 2-4 times. Especially for
text it seems to help.
All data layers, including MVert/MEdge/MFace, are now managed as custom
data layers. The pointers like Mesh.mvert, Mesh.dvert or Mesh.mcol are
still used of course, but allocating, copying or freeing these arrays
should be done through the CustomData API.
Work in progress documentation on this is here:

Replaced TFace by MTFace:
This is the same struct, except that it does not contain color, that now
always stays separated in MCol. This was not a good design decision to
begin with, and it is needed for adding multiple color layers later. Note
that this does mean older Blender versions will not be able to read UV
coordinates from the next release, due to an SDNA limitation.
Removed DispListMesh:
This now fully replaced by DerivedMesh. To provide access to arrays of
vertices, edges and faces, like DispListMesh does. The semantics of the
DerivedMesh.getVertArray() and similar functions were changed to return
a pointer to an array if one exists, or otherwise allocate a temporary
one. On releasing the DerivedMesh, this temporary array will be removed
automatically.
Removed ssDM and meshDM DerivedMesh backends:
The ssDM backend was for DispListMesh, so that became obsolete automatically.
The meshDM backend was replaced by the custom data backend, that now figures
out which layers need to be modified, and only duplicates those.
This changes code in many places, and overall removes 2514 lines of code.
So, there's a good chance this might break some stuff, although I've been
testing it for a few days now. The good news is, adding multiple color and
uv layers should now become easy.
now, others can be added later (sticky, shape keys). Beside one small fix
for knife exact vertex group interpolation, is intended to work the same
as before.
Also fixes bug #5200, related to editmode undo and vertex groups. And
corrects the editmode to faceselect mode selection conversion, that was
broken in a previous commit.
the CustomData module from the modifier stack rewrite, but with additions
to make it also usable in edit mode. Some of the datatypes from that
module were move to a DNA header file, they are not saved to file now, but
will be soon.
The only code that wasn't abstracted is the uv collapse / merging code. It
is rather complicated, will look into that in the future.
There should be no user level changes.
