The reason is that the per-node updates used for Reroute node type inheritance are not supposed to be looking at connected nodes, they are purely for "local" updates. For this sort of "global" update which requires depth-first search, the update function on the node tree level must be used instead.
Currently does not support copying of animation data. This would require copying of individual fcurves etc. between data block, which is not implemented yet.
Also it is currently possible to circumvent some constraints of the nodes, in particular for node groups (e.g. no groups inside groups, render layer not inside groups).
Merge keying node from tomato branch into trunk.
It was considered stable and helpful by Mango team and it'll help
studio pipeline, because nodes would stop disappearing when opening
files in current trunk.

Merge Keying Screen node developed in tomato branch into trunk.
This node is aimed to make dealing with non-even greenscreens better
by generating gradiented image which could be used a input for keyer
nodes.
Based on building voronoi diagram using motion tracking markers as
sites position and average pattern color as color for that site.
Pretty straignforward node, some documentation is there
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:Nazg-gul/Keying#Screen_color
The particle data is stored in a separate texture if any of the dupli objects uses particle info nodes in shaders. To map dupli objects onto particles the store an additional particle_index value, which is different from the simple dupli object index (only visible particles, also works for particle dupli groups mode).
Some simple use cases on the code.blender.org blog:
http://code.blender.org/index.php/2012/05/particle-info-node/
By holding shift and "cutting" a node link a new reroute helper node can be inserted. This consists of a single socket that can be used to insert additional connection points into a link. This can be used to keep a connection point in the tree when deleting a node, or to control the path of long connections for layout cleanup.
First node is called Keying Screen (Add -> Matte -> Keying Screen) and it's
aimed to resolve issues with gradients on green screens by producing image
with gradient which is later used as an input for screen color in keying nodes.
This node gets motion tracks from given movie clip and trackign object and uses
them to define color and position of points of gradient: for position marker's
position on current frame is sued, for color average color of pattern area is
used.
Gradient is calculating in the following way:
- On first step voronoi diagram is creating for given tracks.
- On second step triangulation of this diagram happens by connecting sites
to edges which defines area this site belongs to.
- On third step gradient filling of this triangles happens. One of triangle
vertices is colored with average track color, two rest vertoces are colored
with average color between two neighbor sites. Current pixel's color in
triangle is calculating as linear combination of vertices colors and
barycentric coordinates of this pixel.
This node is implemented for both tile and legacy compositor systems.
Second node is basically a combination of several existing nodes to make keying
more straighforward and reduce spagetti mess in the compositor, but it also
ships some fresh approaches calculating matte which seems to be working better
for not actually green screens.
This node supports:
- Chroma preblur
- Dispilling
- Clip white/black
- Dilate/Erode
- Matte post blur
This node doesn't support chroma pre-blur for legacy compositor (yet).
There're still lots of stuff to be improved here, but this nodes night already
be used i think.
Some details might be found on this wiki page:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:Nazg-gul/Keying
This patch also contains some currently unused code from color math module, but
it was used for tests and might be used for tests in the future. Think it's ok
to have it in branch at least.
For an detailed user-level description of new features see the following blogpost:
http://code.blender.org/index.php/2012/05/node-editing-tweaks/
TL;DR:
* Frame node gets more usable bounding-box behavior
* Node resizing has helpful mouse cursor indicators and works on all borders
* Node selection/active colors are themeable independently
* Customizable background colors for nodes (useful for frames visual
distinction).
pass index, and a random number unique to the instance of the object.
This can be useful to give some variation to a single material assigned to
multiple instances, either manually controlled through the object index, based
on the object location, or randomized for each instance.

This happens because of how output node index is initializing in assign_index function: itterator goes to the beginning of the nodes list using node->prev and then reviews the whole node list to find first unused index. The problem is that node's initialization now is getting called before node was added to node tree, so all output nodes have got equal index.
- Added new dtaablock called Mask which might be re-used in any area.
Currently editing of masks happens in clip editor and they might be used in
compositor nodes only.
- Added new mode to clip clip editor to interact with masks.
Implemented basic tools to create shapes, splines and points. Also implemented
idea of UW points for feather which means feather points are have got U
coordinate along spline (which is measured from 0 to 1) and W is it's weight
meaning distance from main spline.
- Spline points might be parented to movie tracks.
Interface for this isn't best yet.
- Rasterisaztion of masks happens in compositor node (Input -> Mask)
Input image of this ode is used as reference for mask resolution.
Currently all splines of all shapes are rasterizing independently which
means shapes with holes are not supported.
Also feather rasterization is not implemented.
Rasterized was implemented by Pete Larbell, thanks!
Do not consider this is something finished, there's still lots of things to
be done (especially from interface and usability points of view).
This feature did have a number of flaws and caused some controversy, so removal is the better option. Hiding nodes without prior connections would just hide all the sockets, leaving an unusable node. Better way is to use the ctrl+h shortcut to explicitly hide unused sockets when necessary.
*Add menu is now translated.
*Nodes' title is now translated.
*Nodes' sockets' labels are now translated.
However, about the last point, and unless I’m mistaking, we’ll have to add the "i18n tag" N_() to all sockets' names, in the input/ouput templates declaration, in all nodes' files, as those sockets are collections created at runtime, I think po-generating script has no way to access that from bpy.types... Quite a piece of (borring) work. :/
Node updates should generally be local by design, i.e. changes should not depend on any of the other nodes in the same tree. The original purpose of the dependency sort was to allow some experimental nodes to update their socket types based on upstream connected nodes, but these have been removed long ago. If such features need to be implemented they should instead use the tree-wide update callback, which is called after all the local node updates are done.
Removing the extra allocation and recursive function calls from most updates will ensure this function stays as fast as possible and can be called during node space context updates (snode_set_context), which are done very frequently (redraw).
