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).
--debug
--debug-ffmpeg
--debug-python
--debug-events
--debug-wm
This makes debug output easier to read - event debug prints would flood output too much before.
For convenience:
--debug-all turns all debug flags on (works as --debug did before).
also removed some redundant whitespace in debug prints and prefix some prints with __func__ to give some context.
Change operator previous settings initialization not to use the redo stack since this gets cleared and it means only redo operators can re-use last settings.
now this works for import/export as well.
details
- uses redo stack to get recent settings from.
- adds a flag to IDProperties so RNA_property_is_set() can return false even if the property is exists.
- PROP_SKIP_SAVE option skips these settings from getting reset (as with presets).
Special notifiers used for scene deletion which lead to undo pushes
after SCENE_OT_delete operator happening with scene still present in
the mainfile. That was a reason why operator redo used to restore
scene.
It's not so obvious why special notifier type is needed for scene
set and deletion -- it confuses undo system without having some
obvious advantages. Using "direct" scene deletion and setting
seems to be working fine so let's see if there'll be some issues
with this.
bug was that uiPupMenuSaveOver(...) could run the WM API call function which freed the operator, within the low level invoke function which kept using the freed memory.
Changed uiPupMenuSaveOver(...) to only show a popup so the caller needs to check if the file exists and should be immediately written (which was done everywhere except for blend saving anyway).
* added note that operators invoke/exec funcs cant call WM_operator_call(...) on themselves, ends up using freed memory.
* added BLI_is_file(path), checks the file exists and isnt a directory.
* Adds two new python handlers: scene_update_pre() and scene_update_post()
These run before and after Blender does a scene update on making modifications
to the scene.
* Datablocks now have an is_updated property. This will be set to true in the
above callbacks if the datablock was tagged to be updated. This works for the
most common datablocks used for rendering: object, material, world, lamsp,
texture, mesh, curve.
* Datablock collections also have an is_updated property. If this is set, it
means one datablock of this type was added, removed or modified. It's also
useful as a quick check to avoid looping over all datablocks.
* RenderEngine.view_update() can also check these properties, for interactive
viewport rendering.

* This adds a Rendered draw type in the 3D view, only available when
the render engine implements the view_draw callback.
* 3D view now stores a pointer to a RenderEngine.
* view_draw() callback will do OpenGL drawing instead of the viewport.
* view_update() callback is called after depsgraph updates.
- remove redundant casts
- replace strcmp's with "" to just check first char.
- added WM_event_print(), debug mode only to print events since the structs values are not that meaningful.
- added warnings if locale/font dirs cant be found.
