After some test, a new iteration parameter has been added in order to
apply repetitive smoothing to the stroke. By default 1 iteration is applied,
but can used any number between 1 and 3.
The repetition uses different levels of intensity from 100% of the defined smooth
factor for the first loop, 50% for the second and 25% for the third. We use in each
loop a smaller value in order to avoid deform too much the stroke.
Improve filling for concave shapes using a triangulation of the stroke.
The triangulation information is saved in an internal cache and only is
recalculated if the stroke changes.
The triangulation is not saved in .blend file.

Normal Map node support for GLSL mode and the internal render (multiple tangents support).
The Normal Map node is a useful node which is present in the Cycles render.
It makes it possible to use normal mapping without additional material node in a node tree.
This patch implements Normal Map node for GLSL mode and the internal render.
Previously only the active UV layer was used to calculate tangents.
- Access with Shift-LMB or from the 'Create' toolbar tab.
- Uses curve fitting for bezier curves, with error and corner angle options.
- Optional tablet pressure to curve radius mapping.
- Depth can use the cursor or optionally draw onto the surface,
for the entire stroke or using the stroke start.
- Stroke plane can optionally be perpendicular to, or aligned to the surface normal.
- Optional radius tapering and for start/end points.
- Supports operator redo and calling from Python.
This patch depends on D1747, which upgrades the Recast version. It exposes the new Recast partitioning methods in the navmesh generation.

The improved Hosek / Wilkie model was added during my GSoC 2013 and the default since then.
The older model was kinda kept for compatibility, but after more than 2 years it's time to remove it.
The Hosek / Wilkie model is more realistic anyway, and people who really want a day / night transition can mix the Sky Shader with another one (e.g. color) and fade between the two.
On second thought, these might be better names for these... I'm still not 100%
happy with these, but they will do for now.
(Best results currently seem to be with smooth 0.7, and subdivision steps 1 or 2)
Improve the quality of current grease pencil strokes adding a new dynamic smooth and subdivision. The level of smooth and subdivide can be adjusted using UI parameters. These options are disabled by default in order to keep the grease pencil stroke compatible with any existing add-on.
Both parameters are defined at layer level.

This patch adds support for coloring point density textures based on several mesh vertex attributes.
* Vertex Color: Use a vertex color layer for coloring the point density texture
* Vertex Weight: Use a weights from a vertex group as intensity values. (for Blender Render engine the additional color band is used)
* Vertex Normals: Use object-space vertex normals as RGB values.
The vertex color source enum is stored separately from the particle color source, to avoid invalid values when switching.
Note that vertex colors are technically "corner colors" (MLoop), so each vertex can have as many colors as faces it is part of.
For the purpose of point density the mloop colors are simply averaged, which is physically plausible because corners can be viewed
as multiple points in the same location.
Now, when trying to insert a keyframe on a driven property (using IKEY, or with
autokeying enabled), the keyframes will get created on the Driver's F-Curve
(instead of creating a new FCurve that goes into the active action, but will never
do anything). Furthermore, the x-value of the new keyframe will be the current
result of the driver expression.
Why/Motivations:
This way, it becomes easier to create corrective drivers, as you can position all
the targets the driver depends on, then adjust the driver value until it does what
you need, and then you keyframe that value to bake it into the Driver F-Curve
(in effect, "training" the computer how to behave in that case).
Usage Notes:
* In practice, that particular workflow is still quite clunky to achieve, due to some
quirks of how the driver system and the UI widgets interact. Specifically, you'll
need to disable/mute the driver before trying to edit the setting (to prevent the
driver from immediately resetting the value - before even autokey fires!). However,
if you're using the Graph Editor to preview/monitor/manage the keying process, you'll
then want to re-enable the driver before changing the targets, so that you can see
how much of a change you'll want to be applying!
* The warning about editing driver values may need to be disabled or selectively
knocked out. I had it disabled while testing this functionality, but it's actually
harmless in its current state (if just a bit annoying).
When attempting to change a driver variable name to an "invalid" name,
an indicator will now be shown beside the offending variable name.
Clicking on this icon will show a popup which provides more information
about why the variable name cannot be used.
Reasons that it knows about are:
1) Starts with number
2) Has a dot
3) Has a space
4) Starts with or contains a special character
5) Starts with an underscore (Python does allow this, but it's bad practice,
and makes checking security of drivers harder)
6) Is a reserved Python keyword
While most scripted expressions are quite short (e.g. "var" or "frame + 1"),
those that are autogenerated by scripts (to take into account a wide range of factors)
may require a bit more headroom to operate in.
By doubling the maximum length here, we now make it possible to combine up to 38
3-letter variables in some linear combination (with all factors expressed to 4 dp).
That should be more than enough for anyone or anything for quite a while!
Unfortunately, this does increase memory consumption for drivers across the board.
Thanks to D1080 by @rockets, I've now been able to easily implement the
ability to type multiple word snippets/partial words into the text filter
field (in the Animation Editors), and have it filter the channels which
contain just some of those parts (instead of having to match everything).
For example, the following search strings will now work:
* "loc rot" or "lo ro" will now filter all location and rotation FCurves
* "col loc" will filter all location and color FCurves
* "scale" will also work as before to filter all scale FCurves
But, the following will not work:
* "lc rt" will NOT filter all location and rotation, as the fuzzy search only
breaks down the search string based on whitespace placement
By default, this is not enabled when using name filtering (i.e. magnifying glass is checked,
and some filtering text is specified). Instead, you need to enable the "AZ" toggle beside
the name field. This fuzzy matching is not enabled by default as it could end up being
quite a bit slower on really heavy scenes. (There are probably some optimisation
opportunities, but that's only a future option if someone really needs it)
Using 32nd bit of integer with our int RNA prop is not a good idea, it does not
really support unsigned int even with PROP_UNSIGNED type...
Most likely this has been unveiled by recent work over property clamping in RNA.
Not critical, but should be backported should we make an 'a' release.
When all the names in Blender were updated to go from having 32 characters to 64,
the "pchan_name" field in the DriverTarget struct was missed. This meant that if you
had a bone with a suitably long name, it would have been impossible to use values from this
bone in a driver.
The only reason this probably hasn't been discovered yet is because the standard/old depsgraph
doesn't work that well for bones in the same armatures, so setups where this may have
occurred are not that common.
To prevent this problem from happening in future, I've added the standard "MAX_ID_NAME-2"
comment to the comments on each line likely to be impacted by such changes, making it
easier for whoever does a search and replace in future :)
This has several benefits:
* User count remains coherent, regardless of the order in which you use 'user_one' & real refcounting users
(i.e. if you add to group, and then link in scene, or the reverse, you now always get same final user count).
* Avoids the need to check for potential 'user_one' extra user in count in several places in code (e.g. when
making IDs single users...).
* Users won't wonder why they cannot make 'single user' and ID even though its user count shows '2'!
* readfile.c now always uses code from BKE's library.c when modifying id->us. Which means we can consider
(asside from assignment during initialization) that id->us is read-only outside of library.c context.
Note that this commit reverts previous one (rB6b1d77a8052b) - please **do not** backport this one in 2.77.
Similar cause as in T47482, we used to have poor handling of 'user_one' cases of ID usage,
leading to inconsistent behavior depending on order of operations e.g.
Here, was object used by a group but not linked in any scene - once linked in scene,
their usercount would be 2, leading to 'making single copy', when it's actually not needed.
We now have better control here, so let's use it!
Note that other ID 'make single user' code will likely need similar fix (Images, etc.).
Safe to be backported to 2.77.
To make it easier for animators working in a multipass pose-to-pose workflow
when inserting breakdown keyframes and so forth, it is now possible to specify
the "type" of keyframe being created (i.e. the colour of the keyframe, when drawn
in the Dope Sheet).
Usage:
1) Choose the type of keyframe ("Keyframe", "Breakdown", "Extreme", etc.) from
the new dropdown located between the AutoKeying and KeyingSet widgets on the
timeline header.
2) Insert keyframes
3) Rejoyce that your newly created keyframes have now been coloured for you already
in the DopeSheet.
Todo:
* Look into a way of using the actual keyframe colours (from the theme) for the icons
of these types.
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:

This is a new option for panorama cameras to render
stereo that can be used in virtual reality devices
The option is available under the camera panel when Multi-View is enabled (Views option in the Render Layers panel)
Known limitations:
------------------
* Parallel convergence is not supported (you need to set a convergence distance really high to simulate this effect).
* Pivot was not supposed to affect the render but it does, this has to be looked at, but for now set it to CENTER
* Derivatives in perspective camera need to be pre-computed or we shuld get rid of kcam->dx/dy (Sergey words, I don't fully grasp the implication shere)
* This works in perspective mode and in panorama mode. However, for fully benefit from this effect in perspective mode you need to render a cube map. (there is an addon for this, developed separately, perhaps we could include it in master).
* We have no support for "neck distance" at the moment. This is supposed to help with objects at short distances.
* We have no support to rotate the "Up Axis" of the stereo plane. Meaning, we hardcode 0,0,1 as UP, and create the stereo pair related to that. (although we could take the camera local UP when rendering panoramas, this wouldn't work for perspective cameras.
* We have no support for interocular distance attenuation based on the proximity of the poles (which helps to reduce the pole rotation effect/artifact).

This patch specifically dates from March 2015, as you can see in the code.blender.org post. Many thanks to all the reviewers, testers and minor sponsors who helped me maintain spherical-stereo for 1 year.
All that said, have fun with this. This feature was what got me started with Multi-View development (at the time what I was looking for was Fulldome stereo support, but the implementation is the same). In order to make this into Blender I had to make it aiming at a less-specic user-case Thus Multi-View started. (this was December 2012, during Siggraph Asia and a chat I had with Paul Bourke during the conference). I don't have the original patch anymore, but you can find a re-based version of it from March 2013, right before I start with the Multi-View project https://developer.blender.org/P332

Note that we could increase to 524286 without loosing subframe precision,
however this is a round number allowing for longer video export / animations.
See T46859 for details.
This made byte & float images behave differently, where other modifiers remain the same.
Also remove scene from the modifier (should have been passed as arg but no longer needed).
Fixed this with three changes:
* filter_glob is now 255 char max (63 could be a bit limited in some rare cases).
* IO templates now explicitely define max len of that property (such that scripters are aware of the limit).
* ED_fileselect_set_params() is now safe regarding too long strings from a 'filter_glob' op property.
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).

This is handy for cases when mask is created on top of the edit and

That was the main purpose of the masks which was totally broken in

input movie roto process (which then better be re-mapped to the strip

924c626 broke loading on systems with different endian.
We could support reading values from SDNA, it isn't really worth the extra hassle.
Long support is still removed, just keep enum values the same.
It is handy when doing some roto work and it's required to blur some

Quite straightforward option with the only limitation that variable
