Two were actual bugs, though they existed only in unused code:
* In Freestyle it was unintentionally copying a scene rather than referencing it.
* In BLI_array_store_is_valid there was use of uninitialized memory.
Environment lighting (aka ambient) is a key component of any renderer.
It's implemented like the Environment lighting of BI render for Approximate Gather mode. It support "Sky Color" and "White" Environment lighting modes.
It would be great if the user could see actual lighting conditions right in the Blender viewport instead of waiting for the renderer to complete the final image, exporting for external renderer or for a game engine.

At the moment light shading in Blender is produced in viewspace. Apparently, that's why
shader nodes work with normals in camera space. But it is not convenient for artists.
The more convenient approach is implemented in Cycles where normals are represented in world space.
Blend4Web Team designed the engine keeping in mind shader parameters readability,
so normals are interpreted in world space as well. And now our users have to use some tweaks, like
empty node group with the name "Replace", which is replacing one input by another on the engine side
(replacing working configuration in Blender Viewport by the configuration that has the same behavior in the engine).
This patch adds the ability to switch to world space for normals and lamp vector in BI and Viewport.
This patch is very important to us and we crave to see this patch in Blender 2.7 because
it will significantly simplify Blend4Web material creation workflow.

A bit tricky, need to pass additional information about what the attribute

BI path stays unchanged, just to make things simplier for now.
Fixes T48555: Cycles GLSL- Incorrect Vertex Color results from Attribute node
This patch implements Mirror influence for environment textures. Approach matches the one from BI.

This patch adds a new `falloff_type` ('Inverse Coefficients') for Lamps in
Blender-Internal and GLSL.
The current falloff modes use a formula like this inverse-square one:
`I = E × (D^2 / (D^2 + Q × r^2))`
While such a formula is simple for 3D-artists to use, it's algebraically
cumbersome to work with. Game-designers authoring their own shaders
could benefit much more by having direct control of falloff-coefficients:
`I = E × (1.0 / (coefC + coefL × r + coefQ × r^2))`
In this mode, the `distance` parameter is unused (except for 'Sphere'
mode); instead relying on the designer to mathematically-model the
falloff-behavior.
The UI has been patched like so:

The issue was introduced by a fix for T44713 which only made GLSL
consistent with Cycles.
Now we do have conditional averaging or proper luma weighting based
on whether we're new old old shading system. Not totally ideal but
should work for until we re-design viewport possibly breaking how
Blender Internal does implicit conversion.
This patch supports "Image or Movie" and "Environment map" types of world texture for the viewport.
It supports:
- "View", "AngMap" and "Equirectangular" types of mapping.
- Different types of texture blending (according to BI world render).
- Same color blending as when it lacked textures (but render via glsl).

In gpu lib:
- GPU_glsl_support() always returns true
- internal cleanup & comments
Outside gpu lib:
- remove check from various code, remove the “else” path
- sprinkled a few C99-isms
We can remove GPU_glsl_support() when BGE stops calling it.
This commit contains all the remained parts needed for initial integration of
OpenSubdiv into Blender's subdivision surface code. Includes both GPU and CPU
backends which works in the following way:
- When SubSurf modifier is the last in the modifiers stack then GPU pipeline
of OpenSubdiv is used, making viewport performance as fast as possible.
This also requires graphscard with GLSL 1.5 support. If this requirement is
not met, then no GPU pipeline is used at all.
- If SubSurf is not a last modifier or if DerivesMesh is being evaluated for
rendering then CPU limit evaluation API from OpenSubdiv is used. This only
replaces the legacy evaluation code from CCGSubSurf_legacy, but keeps CCG
structures exactly the same as they used to be for ages now.
This integration is fully covered with ifdef and not enabled by default
because there are several TODOs to be solved first:
- Face varying data interpolation is not really cleanly implemented for GPU
in OpenSubdiv 3.0. It is also not implemented for limit evaluation API.
This basically means we'll have really hard time supporting UVs.
- Limit evaluation only works with adaptivly subdivided meshes so far, which
basically means all the points of CCG are pushed to the limit. This gives
different result from old code.
- There are some serious optimizations possible on the topology refiner
creation, which would speed up initial OpenSubdiv mesh creation.
- There are some hardcoded asumptions in the GPU and DerivedMesh areas which
could be generalized.
That's something where Antony and Campbell can help, making it so the code
is structured in a way which is reusable by all planned viewport projects.
- There are also some workarounds in the dependency graph to make sure OpenGL
buffers are only freed from the main thread.
Those who'll be wanting to make experiments with this code should grab dev
branch (NOT master) from
https://github.com/Nazg-Gul/OpenSubdiv/tree/dev
There are some patches applied in there which we're working on on getting
into upstream.
