This was causing glitches when switching from/to fullscreen modes (e.g.,
side by side to anaglyph).
As for the quadbuffer errors this is part of a more complete solution to
be committed later.
Our current keymap doesn't give us enough room to make such changes in
the event system. To fix small issues caused by this, we would need to do
drastic changes in Blender's keymaps and internal handling. It was worth
a try, but it didn't work.
I can write down a more descriptive statement in a few days, but for now
I need a break of this stuff.
Speedup is non-linear, 2x-10x faster is quite normal.
Patch T43678.
- Switched from an Octree to BVH.
- Finding first points of surface no longer "wastes" density function evaluation: every result is cached.
- Use MemArena instead of using own memory management.
- Correct calculation of metaelem bounding box.
- Remove mball_count(): mballs are now counted "on the go".
* Revert 776bfa64a5 and c3dad7953a (some X11 systems are doing
stupid things forcing me to do an extra check that completely breaks the
click type handling on other systems using the slightly changed
implementation from those commits - see T44278)
* Fix sample lines in Compositor+VSE
(And yes, this time I tested on both of my systems to make sure
everything is fine)

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

Seems like a fix that is needed for some X11 systems causes this bug on
others :| Not sure if the systems that needed this fix are now still
fine (since I did a slight change to the click type check procedure),
but I need to check that on my system in the institute in a bit.
Just add KM_CLICK to the already sent KM_RELEASE, don't send a new one
for this.
This might help us to get rid of quite some glitches and workarounds \o/
(why didn't this come earlier to my mind? :S)
For KM_ANY I've filtered out every event that has a click type, although
that was only needed for the additional event sent on KM_HOLD. A bit weird
that this only happened on a few machines though.
Design task: T42339
Differential Revision: D840
Initial implementation proposal: T41867
Short description:
With this we can distinguish between holding and tabbing a key. Useful
is this if we want to assign to operators to a single shortcut. If two
operators are assigned to one shortcut, we call this a sticky key.
More info is accessible through the design task and the diff.
A few people that were involved with this:
* Sean Olson for stressing me with this burden ;) - It is his enthusiasm
that pushed me forward to get this done
* Campbell and Antony for the code and design review
* Ton for the design review
* All the other people that gave feedback on the patch and helped to
make this possible
A big "Thank You" for you all!
Added translation there, also fixed a stupid bug which was leading most internal
operators to have 'dual' i18n_context (default NULL one and default 'Operator' one).
OpenGL is detected:
Hoping to decrease the frequency of by far one of the most frequent bug
reports by windows users.
There is some reorganization of the GHOST API to allow easy addition of
further OpenGL options in the future. The change is not propagated too
deep to keep the size of the patch managable. We might reorganize things
here later.
For OpenGL we do two checks here:
One is a combination of GDI generic renderer or vendor microsoft
corporation and OpenGL version 1.1. This means the system does not
use GPU acceleration at all. We warn user to install a graphics
driver and of cases where this might happen (remote connection, using
blender through virtual machine)
The other one just checks if OpenGL version is less than 1.4 (we can
easily change that in the future of course) and warns that it is
deprecated.
Both cases will still let blender startup correctly but users should now
have a clear idea of the system being unsupported.
A user preference flag is provided to turn the warning off.
Now stop posting those bug reports without installing a driver first -
please?
patch number D706 with changes:
- WITH_GPU_DEBUG just creates a debug context (and enables the debug messaging
system functions) but leaves the checks we had intact. Old patch
added the debug functionality only if we had the flag on to save some
performance.
Rationale here is that we might not want to recompile blender just to get
the extra information, and having users start blender with a -d flag to
get the extra information is also useful for bug reports. Those checks already
existed and most expensive ones are hidden behind a debug mode check
so performance should not be that bad.
- Did some cleanup of existing functionality:
When things go wrong blender side, just print the error,
don't check for GL errors first.
- Did not port changes needed for GLES to regular glew.h
- Got rid of duplicate or very similar new functionality.
Generally, code is more moving things around/cleanup and should work exactly
as before apart from the debug context, so it's safe to add even now.
It also provides a nice substitute function for glu error descriptions
Issue is double here:
* Quite a handfull of menu entries actually diverge slightly from their shortcut
counterpart (often one has a prop explicitely set to its default value,
when the other keep it unset).
* Current code was actually basically sending 'is_strict' option into canal,
by doing a second check in `wm_keymap_item_find` setting unset op props
to their default value!
Now, is_strict mostly says one thing: "never consider an unset property as
equal to a set one". Even if set property matches default value. Default values
are not always the same things as unset ones, as demonstrated by this report.
So we are being much stricter now, and also have to check shortcuts and
menu entries definitions actually matches, added some code (triggered by
--debug-wm option) that prints when it finds some (potential) issue.
There is one exception though - Macros. Those have their whole prop set defined
in menu entries currently, this shall probably not be the case, but is another issue,
so for now for macro operators we always do non-strict comparison (pretty much
the same as previously, in this case).
Also 'enum' operators are still tricky. Currently, shortcut extraction relies on
`ot->prop` being set, so even if this is not aboslutely needed anymore (when defining
UI you can specify an arbitrary enum property by name), `ot->prop` shall be set.
Note fix commit for mismatches between menu entries and shortcuts is needed next.
This was initially added for a later support of making the automatic File
Browser fullscreen optional. As this idea was rejected for now (D1037) it
doesn't really make sense to leave these things in.
Adds support for stacked fullscreens. This basically means, if a user opens a
temporary fullscreen mode, such as the File Browser or the Image Editor render
view, from a different fullscreen, the "Back to Previous" function or the other
ways to escape those temporary fullscreens don't return to the split screen
layout but to the previous fullscreen he has been in.
I already committed something similar (f7e844570f) but that was only
supposed as a fix, it didn't work for the "Back to Previous" operator and the
implementation wasn't really reusable. This one looks a bit nicer + makes some
older hacks unnecessary :)
Issue is that world shader compilation and loading may take long so we
just draw file previews with premultiplied background. Should create the
old familiar transparent background files.
Thanks to Sergey for figuring out the issue.
