- rename define DISABLE_SDL --> WITH_SDL (which was already used in some places)
- blenders interation preset was using orbit rather then turntable 3d view preference (different from factory defaults).
- tagged some unused rna args.
Causing a flurry of refresh file prompts post-commit,
Confusing local diffs and causing merge conflicts,
Stating the obvious; redundant and useless...

== Datablock filters in the headers are now hidden by default ==
This has been done because users were generally not frequently
toggling these, so quick access vs screen-estate cost wasn't really
worth it to have these always showing and taking up space on the
header.
Usage notes:
- To show these again, click on the "Filter more..." toggle.
- The "Filter more..." button DOES NOT affect whether those filters
apply.
Design notes:
- I tried many other button/icon combinations, but those were either
too space-hogging, vague, or had wrong button order.
- I also tried putting a box around these, but there was too much
padding.
- The ordering of the filters has also been modified a bit so that the
group/fcurve-name filters occur earlier in the list, given that
they're used more frequently
== Graph Editor - Use Fancy Drawing ==
Renamed this option to "Use High Quality Drawing" as suggested by
Matt. "Fancy" isn't really descriptive enough.
== Icons for Mode Dropdowns ==
The mode dropdowns in the DopeSheet and Graph Editors now have icons.
- These were important enough (compared to the auto-snap mode) that
some visual decoration was perhaps warranted.
- It makes it easier to see at a glance what mode the view is in
Icon choices:
- In some cases, the icons seem like quite a natural fit IMO (i.e.
outliner<->dopesheet, key<->shapekey editor, grease pencil, fcurve
editor)
- Action Editor uses an "object" icon to indicate that this is object-
level only for now (though I hope to find a way to address this
soon/later). This will be kept like this until then.
- There isn't any icon for drivers, so after trying a few
alternatives, I settled on area-link icon, since it ties together two
entities using some link.
Actions now get tagged with an ID-code, which is used to determine
what ID-blocks they can be assigned to. This ensures that material
actions cannot be assigned to the object-level for example.
* Action lists in general will now show only the actions that can be
set for that particular slot. This prevents selection of invalid
actions, and helps cut down the list of actions.
** An exception here is the Add Action Clip in NLA Editor, which will
show all actions but will only add where appropriate. This is because
it's not easy/possible to tell in advance which blocktypes to filter
for when building this list. (TODO?)
* The "Action Editor" is now strictly for object-level action
editing+setting now. This avoids repeateded confusion by people who
try using this to view their shapekey actions, which should go to the
Shape Key Editor instead!
** A context switcher for the legitimate times where this capability
might come in handy is still being investigated.
* "Floating" actions (i.e. actions in some action_library.blend) are
NOT able to be automatically tagged until they are assigned to some
datablocks (i.e. loaded onto the rig + played back once). It is
possible to write scripts that check for certain RNA-paths and "guess"
what datablocks they work on, but it is recommended that you load up
the Datablocks Viewer, and go through such actions by hand, setting
the "ID Root Type" property as appropriate per action.
I'm finally yielding to months of feature requesting, and adding
support for filtering F-Curves by name, where the "name" here is the
text which is displayed for each F-Curve in the Animation Editor
channel lists.
To use, just enable the magnifying-glass toggle on the DopeSheet
filtering settings, and enter a snippet of text to find within the
names of channels you wish to filter. This is case insensitive, and
currently doesn't support any wildcard/regrex fanciness.
Some examples:
loc <--- location curves only
x loc <--- x location curves only
x eul <--- x rotation curves only
rot <--- rotation curves only
etc.
* All the various index-related issues should finally be sorted now.
It seems you cannot just partially implement some of these active
index getter/setters...
* Standardised the call used by PoseLib operators to get the Object
from which they get the active PoseLib data from
* PoseLib operators which require some existing data to work now use a
poll() which checks for this
* Added back the operator used to make standard actions into ones
usable by PoseLib
* Added a dummy operator for the apply active pose button which really
just calls the same backend functions as "Browse Interactive", but
which has a nicer frontend (naming + description) for the purpose of
being used in this way
* Also, removed some useless code from here
This presents a UI from which PoseLibs can be assigned/removed from
Objects. From here, it is also possible to see the list of poses and
add/remove poses from this list.
Known Issues:
- [Py/RNA/Operators BUG ALERT!] If after immediately starting Blender
you try to remove a pose from the PoseLib using the UI buttons, you'll
get a an error the first time you do so (but not for subsequent
attempts). This seems to be caused by the "pose" enum (dynamically
generated) of the POSELIB_OT_pose_remove operator, which does not seem
to be getting initialised when the operator's exec gets called without
the invoke having been called previously
- Changing the active Pose Library still seems to be broken (to be
fixed soon)
Todos:
- Operator button to make the selected pose get shown in the 3d view
- Restore the "validate action" operator and add that to this panel
- Rename pose access
Also use const char in many other parts of blenders code.
Currently this gives warnings for setting operator id, label and description since these are an exception and allocated beforehand.
- function renames, move WM functions into collections wm.add_keymap() --> wm.keymaps.new()
note: new is used for named items in a collection, which return the result.
- Action.get_frame_range() is now a readonly property 'frame_range', floats rather then ints.
These are not animated and are best not change names like this too late in the release.

Added new filtering option for animation editors (indicated as the 'ghost' toggle beside the 'select'(-ed only) toggle), which will include objects/bones that aren't visible (i.e. are hidden or on a hidden layer).
This should make it possible to edit such types of animation, and also prevent flickering as these channels come in/out of view.
- pose markers new/remove
- font load/remove
- world load/remove
- particles new/remove
commented out node-tree for now since from what I can tell these have to be atteched to material/scene/texture (unlike other ID types)
* Fixed all the dangerous code added in 27907. Using the code there, scripters could corrupt animation files in ways which would render them useless, with channels not appearing in any animation editors, and others not getting evaluated at all.
* Partial fix of bug 21818, by disabling destructive replacement of keyframes. Will followup this commit with a more comprehensive commit which gets rid of the rest of the problems, by incorporating some requests from Durian team.
* Fixed problems with users being able to see+edit the name of the active Keying Set in the Scene buttons. There is still a bug though with the list widget given how the indices are now interpreted...
Added a new option to filter the out Object-level (i.e. transforms, object visibility/settings, and also bone animation) animation data from the channels list. As most of these settings are transforms, I've used the transform manipulator icon and named the RNA setting display_transforms.
This is useful when trying to filter out only material animation data for example, as requested by Colin.
Texture animation is now shown in the animation editors. Texture stacks are shown for each Material/Lamp/World block that uses them.
There is currently still a bit of a bug with this which means that unless the owner of the texture stack is animated too, the animation data for the textures won't show up. This will get rectified soon though.
* Fixed bug with Graph Editor that meant that after switching modes, driver F-Curves would often still be shown black until the curves were edited
* Added notifiers and missing flags for F-Curves and Actions
Between the datablock filtering options and the auto-snapping menu in the headers of Animation Editors, there is a new toggle for enabling this new feature (only when there are groups in the scene). Enabling this, a field to enter/select a group in the scene to filter with, will appear beside it.
This feature has been added to make it easier to manage animating multiple character shots in Durian.
By assigning the rigs of several bandits to a single group, or Sintel and her staff to another group, or Sintel and the guardians to another group, and so on, it is possible to filter the animation data shown in the editors to a useful subset of the total motion in the scene.
This makes it easier to retime or edit the motions of one set of characters and their props without affecting the motions of other no-related objects. The downside is that there is a bit more setup work required upfront, but that's probably a small price to pay for some groupings that may be useful in other ways too later (perhaps for compositing or lighting work).
* Selected keyframes in unselected F-Curves were still being modified, although not shown
* Selection tools for keyframes were changing the selection status of F-Curves, making keyframes sometimes disappear after trying to select another keyframe
* Warning fixes in a few other files
