Viewport drawing has moved to offscreen buffers, and we no longer need to have
depth, stencil, aa samples, sRGB buffers as part of the window. So all that
code is removed now. The depth buffer was the only one still being allocated,
its removal save a bit of memory.

This is often invalid, outdated or misleading

It's more useful to git-blame to find out who has developed the code.

Before this Blender always needed the Wintab driver. This adds support for the
native pressure API in Windows 8+, making it possible to get pressure sensitivity
on e.g. Microsoft Surface hardware without any extra drivers.
By default Blender will automatically use Wintab if available, and if not use
Windows Ink instead. There is also a new user preference to explicitly specify
which API to use if automatic detection fails.
Fixes T57869: no pressure sensitivity with Surface pen or laptop.

Offscreen contexts are not attached to a window and can only be used for rendering to frambuffer objects.
CGL implementation : Brecht Van Lommel (brecht)
GLX implementation : Clément Foucault (fclem)
WGL implementation : Germano Cavalcante (mano-wii)
Other implementation are just place holder for now.
For Windows 8.1 and X11 (Linux, BSD) now use the DPI specified by the operating
system, which previously only worked on macOS. For Windows this is handled per
monitor, for X11 this is based on Xft.dpi or xrandr --dpi. This should result
in appropriate font and button sizes by default in most cases.
The UI has been simplified to a single UI Scale factor relative to the automatic
DPI, instead of two DPI and Virtual Pixel Size settings. There is forward and
backwards compatibility for existing user preferences.

When WITH_INPUT_NDOF is disabled, 3D mouse handling code is removed
from:
- GHOST (was mostly done, finished the job)
- window manager
- various editors
- RNA
- keymaps
The input tab of user prefs does not show 3D mouse settings. Key map
editor does not show NDOF mappings.
DNA does not change.
On my Mac the compiled binary is 42KB smaller after this change. It
runs fine WITH_INPUT_NDOF on or off.
The events are allocated on the heap, then pushed on a stack. Before
being processed, they are popped from the stack, and deleted after
processing is done. When the manager is destroyed (e.g. application
closing), any remaining event in the stack is detroyed.
Issue is that when the "application closing" event is processed, it is
never freed, because the manager gets destroyed before the call to
`delete` is made and the event is not on the stack anymore.
Now events are left on the stack while they are processed, and only
popped and deleted after processing is done.
As a slight bonus refactor: use void as return type for dispatch events
functions, as no caller is checking the return value, and it is not
clear what it means (suggested by the reviewer).

OpenGL is detected:
Hoping to decrease the frequency of by far one of the most frequent bug
reports by windows users.
There is some reorganization of the GHOST API to allow easy addition of
further OpenGL options in the future. The change is not propagated too
deep to keep the size of the patch managable. We might reorganize things
here later.
For OpenGL we do two checks here:
One is a combination of GDI generic renderer or vendor microsoft
corporation and OpenGL version 1.1. This means the system does not
use GPU acceleration at all. We warn user to install a graphics
driver and of cases where this might happen (remote connection, using
blender through virtual machine)
The other one just checks if OpenGL version is less than 1.4 (we can
easily change that in the future of course) and warns that it is
deprecated.
Both cases will still let blender startup correctly but users should now
have a clear idea of the system being unsupported.
A user preference flag is provided to turn the warning off.
Now stop posting those bug reports without installing a driver first -
please?
Original patch by @random (D765) with some minor work done by @campbell
and me.
At this place, I'd like call out a number of people who were involved and
deserve a big "Thank you!":
* At the first place @randon who developed and submitted the patch
* The Blendercn community which helped a lot with testing - espacially
* @yuzukyo, @leon_cheung and @kjym3
* @campbellbarton, @mont29 and @sergey for their help and advises during
* review
* @ton who realized the importance of this early on and asked me for
* reviewing
We are still not finished, as this is only the first part of the
implementaion, but there's more to come!
This returns the desktop size, not just the size of the active monitor, useful since this constrains the mouse and we dont have to detect the active monitor (which isn't so straightforward with xlib).
carbon/cocoa are TODO, they still use getMainDisplayDimensions().
OK - so you have this nice crisp screen, and still you want to add extra
monitors to the laptop! That means Blender should switch back and forth to HiDPI
modes, when you move a window to another monitor.
This code makes the pixelsize scale factor a window property, and handles
an event when a window moves to another monitor. It then changes the
native pixelsize nicely and refreshes entire UI.
You can also have one Blender window on high, and other on low resolution.
Stretching a Blender window from 1 monitor to the other works too, but that
is Apple magic handling it.
Nice formatted version (pictures soon):
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Ref/Release_Notes/2.66/Usability
Short list of main changes:
- Transparent region option (over main region), added code to blend in/out such panels.
- Min size window now 640 x 480
- Fixed DPI for ui - lots of cleanup and changes everywhere. Icon image need correct size still, layer-in-use icon needs remake.
- Macbook retina support, use command line --no-native-pixels to disable it
- Timeline Marker label was drawing wrong
- Trackpad and magic mouse: supports zoom (hold ctrl)
- Fix for splash position: removed ghost function and made window size update after creation immediate
- Fast undo buffer save now adds UI as well. Could be checked for regular file save even...
Quit.blend and temp file saving use this now.
- Dixed filename in window on reading quit.blend or temp saves, and they now add a warning in window title: "(Recovered)"
- New Userpref option "Keep Session" - this always saves quit.blend, and loads on start.
This allows keeping UI and data without actual saves, until you actually save.
When you load startup.blend and quit, it recognises the quit.blend as a startup (no file name in header)
- Added 3D view copy/paste buffers (selected objects). Shortcuts ctrl-c, ctrl-v (OSX, cmd-c, cmd-v).
Coded partial file saving for it. Could be used for other purposes. Todo: use OS clipboards.
- User preferences (themes, keymaps, user settings) now can be saved as a separate file.
Old option is called "Save Startup File" the new one "Save User Settings".
To visualise this difference, the 'save startup file' button has been removed from user preferences window. That option is available as CTRL+U and in File menu still.
- OSX: fixed bug that stopped giving mouse events outside window.
This also fixes "Continuous Grab" for OSX. (error since 2009)
Add an optional ghost argument to set the new mouse location when un-grabbing. - without this the mouse would flicker at the old location before moving to the new location - when using the color picker for eg.
Adds conformation on exit for windows. Needs to be enabled in user perf.
Tried to edit blender.exe.manifest for more modern dialog look, but didn't work out.

Fix [#26938] Blender Zoom not working after startup (Windows)

by applying patch [#26881] Fix for console disappearing in debug mode [Windows]
Submitted by Alexander Kuznetsov (AlexK)
The patch moves console toggling code into GHOST and improves on the toggling behaviour.
The patch changes handling of WM_SYSCOMMAND so that alt-key toggling isn't a problem anymore.
