On every redraw a single unopened dropdown boxe would translate
and convert every EnumPropertyItem into a string,
then decode every item, and search those items to find the name of the button to draw.
Replace this with a custom menu callback for RNA enums,
tooltips for enums now show too.
COLOR widgets never get created with UI_GRAD_V_ALT values. This is
intended for HSVCUBE color sliders only so reverting this to old value
before it was substituted with a define, which was -1.
There's one case where COLOR buttons get defined with a1 value different
than -1 which is in ui_def_but_rna. There the step value of the RNA
property is used. However, that meant that if step equaled to 9, which
is UI_GRAD_V_ALT value (unlikely) or if UI_GRAD_V_ALT was changed to 10
in future, or we added check for e.g. UI_GRAD_L_ALT which is 10 in HCL
branch, color widget would not get a color selection menu spawned.
- works by defining panel categories, currently restricted to the toolbar.
- no panels define bl_categories yet, so no user visible changes since tabs only show when there are multiple.
- panel pinning is available in rmb menu or alt+lmb.
There is a bunch of internal refactoring going on too:
* No longer use operators to handle these directory and file fields, only makes
things more complicated than they should be.
* Handle autocomplete partial/full match deeper in the UI code
* Directory field still does not keep focus, that's for another time to fix,
you can already do pretty quick keyboard only navigation with the file field.

Code cleanup: replace "LISTLABEL" button type by an "UI_BUT_LIST_ITEM" button flag.
Summary:
Rationals:
I) I was never that happy to have a full button type just to set custom colors to labels inside listitems!
II) If we use (as planned) TEX buttons instead of labels to allow listitems click-rename, I'd like to be able to use listitems' theme color here as well, much easier witha flag than adding yet another button type!

Code cleanup: Move some uiBut->flag to uiBut->drawflag, make those flags anonymous enums.
Summary:
Make some room in but->flag (I did not add another flag, we already have drawflag, which was nearly not used up till now).
Note: I’m not sure whether REDALERT (and perhaps even DISABLED?) should not go to but->drawflag as well...

The widget for the SV gradient was disabling display colorspace transform, but this was not happening for the H slider below, leading to varying H values used to calculate the slider position.
only run these checks for buttons using the UI_BLOCK_MOVEMOUSE_QUIT flag.
no functional change but makes debugging easier and was calculating mouse motion in relation to some popups for no reason.
Issue goes back since we stopped using LISTROW button to draw item's name (i.e. since we have custom buttons in list items!).
This commit:
* Adds a new flag to uiBlock, UI_BLOCK_LIST_ITEM, to mark blocks used for each list item.
* Adds a new button type, LISTLABEL, which basically behaves exactly as LABEL, but uses wcol_list_item color set.
* When uiItemL is called, it checks whether current block has UI_BLOCK_LIST_ITEM set, and if so, switch produced button to LISTLABEL type.
* Adds a new helper func, ui_layout_list_set_labels_active, called after the active list item has been "drawn", to set all LISTLABEL buttons as UI_SELECT.
Note custom widget_state_label() was removed, in interface_widgets.c, as it did nothing more than default widget_state().
Thanks to Brecht for the review and advices.
* CHARTAB: not needed anymore with improved copy/paste support and text input.
* IDPOIN: replaced by SEARCH_MENU.
* ICONROW/ICONTEXTROW: replaced by RNA enums.
* NUMABS: can use min/max limits instead.
* BUT_TOGDUAL, TOG3, TOGR, SLI: not used in 2.5 interface.
Color Pickers in Blender support precision editing with holding Shift key.
Unfortunately, on first click the picker cursor moves to the mouse position,
making the precision dragging quite useless.
Now, if you hold Shift, the picker editing will only apply the delta motion
of your mouse drags, making it much nicer for fine tuning of color grades
in Sequencer or Compositor.
To achieve this, some code (callbacks and search button creation) was moved from wm_operators.c to interface/interface.c, and a new UI function was added, uiDefSearchButO_ptr.
Note: This new code uses the fact that uiButHandleFunc callbacks get executed before operator when one of its arg is the button itself!
Many thanks to Campbell who helped me a lot with this patch!
Cleanup: also removed two unused pointers from uiBut struct.
* Remove already commented "use_radiosity" flag from RNA.
* Remove some commented exceptions for old 2.4x 3D View preview region.
* Remove empty and commented function declarations from 2.4x UI times
PyNodes opens up the node system in Blender to scripters and adds a number of UI-level improvements.
=== Dynamic node type registration ===
Node types can now be added at runtime, using the RNA registration mechanism from python. This enables addons such as render engines to create a complete user interface with nodes.
Examples of how such nodes can be defined can be found in my personal wiki docs atm [1] and as a script template in release/scripts/templates_py/custom_nodes.py [2].
=== Node group improvements ===
Each node editor now has a tree history of edited node groups, which allows opening and editing nested node groups. The node editor also supports pinning now, so that different spaces can be used to edit different node groups simultaneously. For more ramblings and rationale see (really old) blog post on code.blender.org [3].
The interface of node groups has been overhauled. Sockets of a node group are no longer displayed in columns on either side, but instead special input/output nodes are used to mirror group sockets inside a node tree. This solves the problem of long node lines in groups and allows more adaptable node layout. Internal sockets can be exposed from a group by either connecting to the extension sockets in input/output nodes (shown as empty circle) or by adding sockets from the node property bar in the "Interface" panel. Further details such as the socket name can also be changed there.
