In the Action Editor, sliders are now drawn beside IPO-Curve and Constraint Channels and for the active Action Channel when the 'Show Sliders' option in the View menu is turned on. This behaves like for shapekeys.
You can change the limits of the sliders by either Ctrl-Clicking or NKEY over the
name of the relevant IPO-Curve channel.
Also, documented the IPO-curve struct a bit. There are a few variables there that
I'm not sure what they are used for.
It works like for moving Object Ipos to the Action, press the Action icon
in the header of the IpoWindow, to the left of the mode selection menu.
It then creates an Action (if not existed) and moves the Shape Ipo to the
Action, using custom channel "Shape".
Main code change was that evaluating Ipo Curves for Relative Shapes had to
be recoded, but that's pretty minor and even much cleaner. (added "curval"
in the KeyBlock struct).
That this feature can work is thanks to the full modifier/derivedmesh
recode Daniel did, can't give him enough credits! :)
Also; small fixes in Outliner, for clicking on the Ipo icon (sets the Ipo
window to show that Ipo).

- The mixed use of "Vertex Key","Key" or "RVK" in Blender was a bit
confusing. Also a 'vertex key' assumes keys per vertex, which actually is
only a single key for the entire shape. The discussions on blender.org
forums all mentioned "Shape" or "Blend Shapes", which I think is an OK
name for a "Vertex Key" in the UI. :)
- Most work was code spaghetti cleanup. Doing shape-keys now nicely goes
via the depgraph and DerivedMesh. That then allows to have different
shapes per object, with the new "Pin" feature.
Objects now define what Shape is shown (ob->shapenr)
- Added a Shape Panel in the Edit buttons with the various options
- Fixed a lot of issues in the IpoWindow, with drawing the channels.
For example, deleting a key-line there caused the entire Relative option to
go wrong, same for moving the lines up/down.
Changing key-line order now reflects in order of channels. The active
Shape is drawn more clear now too.
- Noticed it doesnt work yet for curves/lattice. Need modifier advise!
changed "get_ipo(key, ..." to "get_ipo((ID *)key, ..." in line 107.
* changed insert_meshkey(Mesh *me) to insert_meshkey(Mesh *me, short offline):
To call this function from a script, so that it doesn't pop the
"relative / absolute" dialog window when the "offline" arg is non-zero.
Exppython:
* NMesh module:
- Added method NMesh.addMaterial(mat) to the NMesh module:
alternative safer (aka slower) way to add materials.
- Added optional arg to NMesh_update():
if given and equal to 1, the mesh normals are recalculated.
- Fixed NMesh.getVertexInfluences: it was segfaulting when a NULL bone was
linked to the vertex. Thanks to Jiba on the bf-python mailing list for
bug report and sample .blend file. Also made this method give an IndexError
when the vertex index is out of range.
* Material module:
Added specR, specG, specB vars for compatibility with the 2.25 API.
Pointed by Manuel Bastioni.
* Image module:
Exposed image width, height and depth parameters.
From a suggestion by jms.
* BPython Ref Doc:
- Small updates to reflect the above additions.
- Added info for the Bone type in the Armature doc.

#ifdef HAVE_CONFIG_H
#include <config.h>
#endif
also the Makefile.in's were from previous patch adding
the system depend stuff to configure.ac
