Talked with Brecht and Campbell and they both agreed that bpy.types should match bpy.props
In the ideal world we would rename bpy.props to BooleanProperty. This would break scripts though. So we go for a compromise and at least have some consistency.

Tracker description
*******************
The current python noise module included with Blender has yet to be updated to the new Py API. This patch does so, with the following major points:
- The noise module has now been moved to a submodule of mathutils, it can be accessed by mathutils.noise. It was moved from it's own module as it will now return mathutils types and also have greater visibility to the user.
- All functions which return vectors will now return mathutils.Vector types to be consistent with the rest of the API. Previously (x, y, z) tuples were returned.
- A different implementation of random_unit_vector is now used, this allows 2D, 3D and 4D vectors to be returned. Previously only 3D was possible.
- Some function names have been changed to remove ambiguities and make naming consistent within the module. noise.vector is now noise.noise_vector and noise.vl_vector is now noise.variable_lacunarity
- Doc strings have been updated to be compatible with auto docs.
- Code style and internal naming has been changed to match the conventions in other mathutils code.
Thanks,
Andrew
allow collection subscript to contain the library or None.
eg:
bpy.data.objects["Mesh", "/subsurf_test.blend"]
bpy.data.scenes["Scene", None]
# also works with get()
bpy.data.armatures.get(("some_armature", "//some_lib.blend"), None)
- no need to link to scenes when using a frame from the pydriver, this made linking rigs for eg, quite messy.
- advantage that we get subframe values (where scenes from was fixed to a whole number).
Conflicts resolved:
source/blender/makesdna/intern/makesdna.c
source/blender/makesrna/RNA_enum_types.h
source/blender/render/intern/source/shadeinput.c
source/blenderplayer/bad_level_call_stubs/stubs.c
Additional changes:
* source/blender/makesrna/intern/rna_linestyle.c: Fixed white
space issues that generated a number of compiler errors. The
problem was that two string literals for enumerating MA_RAMP_SOFT
and MA_RAMP_LINEAR contained a space. The string literals are
supposed to represent a valid C identifier because of their use
for automatic code generation.
* Stroke transparency has been temporarily disabled due to a
functionality conflict with some merged changes. A fix of this
issue is planned.
this works by tagging functions, eg:
def my_func(scene):
pass
bpy.app.handlers.permanent_tag(my_func, True) # <-- important bit
bpy.app.handlers.frame_change_pre.append(my_func)
* Adds two new python handlers: scene_update_pre() and scene_update_post()
These run before and after Blender does a scene update on making modifications
to the scene.
* Datablocks now have an is_updated property. This will be set to true in the
above callbacks if the datablock was tagged to be updated. This works for the
most common datablocks used for rendering: object, material, world, lamsp,
texture, mesh, curve.
* Datablock collections also have an is_updated property. If this is set, it
means one datablock of this type was added, removed or modified. It's also
useful as a quick check to avoid looping over all datablocks.
* RenderEngine.view_update() can also check these properties, for interactive
viewport rendering.
