This patch includes the work done in the terrible consequencer branch
that hasn't been merged to master minus a few controversial and WIP
stuff, like strip parenting, new sequence data structs and cuddly
widgets.
What is included:
* Strip extensions only when slipping. It can very easily be made an
option but with a few strips with overlapping durations it makes view
too crowded and difficult to make out.
* Threaded waveform loading + code that restores waveforms on undo (not
used though, since sound_load recreates everything. There's a patch for
review D876)
* Toggle to enable backdrop in the strip sequence editor
* Toggle to easily turn on/off waveform display
* Snapping during transform on sequence boundaries. Snapping to start or
end of selection depends on position of mouse when invoking the operator
* Snapping of timeline indicator in sequencer to strip boundaries. To
use just press and hold ctrl while dragging.

Previosuly, world was shown on the background if "Render Only" was used.
Now user should be able to set it independently. This is a prelude to
(drumroll)...
In the process, I've removed the old operator (ANIM_OT_channels_visibility_set)
and folded that option in with the hide operator, to make this consistent
with how this is done in the 3D view and other parts of Blender.
Revised the tools for managing which FCurves are visible in the Graph Editor
curves area. Now, there are the following tools in place:
* V (channels region only) = Hide all curves except those in selected channels [OLD]
* H = Hide all selected curves [NEW]
* Shift-H = Show all previously hidden curves [NEW]
I've removed the old operator to toggle visibility status of selected curves,
as it doesn't seem that useful anymore.
The Mesh Tools have quite few crucial tools that're missing from the toolbar. This is the main one.
The tools that're here should also be reorganized a bit to introduce actual orgnization, as it's quite sporadic at the moment. Will do that later.
too crowded.
UVs in the same layer can be used for many images. It used to be
possible to filter UV faces based on the image, but this is impossible
now due to the way the system works, so I added an option to allow
filtering UVs based on active material index.
Rationale on using option and not being smart here (options are bad tm)
is that for some workflows, such as preserving image space by using the
same image for many materials, people might want to turn this off.
Add simple uvs now does a cube unwrap and pack operation. Result is not
optimal by far but it should not result in crashes and it will be quite
usable for simple cases.
Adding new object to RigidBodyWorld obgroup is not a good way to do that, since it only
takes effect (create rigid_body for new objects) when you change current frame.
Better to use rigidbody.object_add() operator here!
This adds a theme option for the embossing of UI widgets. By doing this users have much greater flexibility for creating nice themes. Previously many themes (particularly dark ones) looked quite bad due to the very obvious emboss. This made simpler, flat-style themes very challenging.

Main moving logic is moved to new `BKE_keyblock_move()`, which makes it available from anywhere.
In addition, move code was reworked so that it only loops once on whole keyblocks list,
and it accepts arbitrary org and dest indices, not only neighbor ones.
Partly based on work by revzin (Grigory Revzin) in his soc-2014-shapekey GSoC branch, thanks!
Loading XML module, registering etree namespaces... etc
on startup for everyone on chance someone may want to export
an SVG from Freestyle is unacceptable.
This shouldn't have got through the review.
also disable loading when built without freestyle.
Features:
* Both still image and animation rendering, as well as polygon
fills are supported.
* The exporter creates a new SVG layer for every Freestyle line
set. The different layers are correctly sorted.
* SVG paths use data from line styles, so the base color of a
line style becomes the color of paths, idem for dashes and
stroke thickness.
* Strokes can be split at invisible parts. This functionality is
useful when exporting for instance dashed lines or line styles
with a Blue Print shader
* The exporter can be used not only in the Parameter Editor mode,
but also from within style modules written for the Python
Scripting mode.

Organize Maximize/Fullscreen mess and add a new fullscreen mode with no UI
* Maximize Editor: (old Ctrl+Up)
* Full Screen Window: (old Alt + F11)
* Full Screen Editor: new operator (Alt + F10)
* Change Show/Hide Header: (Alt + F9)
When the mode is on moving the mouse near the top right corner of the
editor shows an icon to go back to the normal editor mode.
This was originally intended for the multiview branch, but this
functionality also benefits non-stereo workflows, thus it can be
reviewed and committed independently.
Development notes:
* This includes cleanups in the code to sanitize the naming of
fullscreen/maximize across the window/editor code.
* Originally the idea was to make the window fullscreen as well, but
this idea was dropped.
* You can see the clicking area when debug is 1
* Technically the user can be left with an unfaded icon in the corner
(specially when using a tablet). If we think this is too bad we can
increase the action zone to be the whole screen, or something similar.

Currently the volume variation feature in stretch constraints is
unlimited. This has to be compensated by riggers by adding scale limit
constraints, but these are unaware of the stretch orientation and can
lead to flipping. Also the stretch calculation itself is not working
properly and can lead to collapsing volume.
The patch fixes this with several modifications:
- Interpret the volume variation factor as exponent, which works better
with large values for artistic purposes.
- Add integrated limits to the volume "bulge" factor, so secondary
constraints for compensation become unnecessary
- Add a smoothness factor to make limits less visible.
Eventually a generic volume preservation constraint would be nicer,
because multiple constraints currently implement volume variation of
their own. This feature could actually work very nicely independent from
other constraint features.

This commit adds a confirm threshold property to pie menus.
Basically, this will confirm the pie menu automatically when
the distance from the center of the pie exceeds that threshold without
a need to release the pie button.
The confirm threshold will only work if it is larger than the pie
threshold.
The confirmation actually occur when the mouse stops moving, to
allow multiple pie menus to be better linked together, (see below)
This functionality also facilitates the ability for chained pie menus by
dragging. Basically, a pie menu item can be a call_menu_pie operator and
the new pie menu will still use the original pie menu release event for
confirmation. This should allow for quick, gesture based navigation in
pie menu hierarchies (going back in the hierarchy is still not supported
though)
There will be a demonstration pie in the official add-on soon
Basically the title tells it all, quite straightforward implementation.
The only thing is the image.render_slot which used to represent the active
render slot index is now moved to image.render_slots.active_index.

Do not generate materials/images/UVs if they are missing.
Now we spawn a panel ("Missing Data") with operators to generate the missing data and
pop a warning if user tries to paint without them.
The reason we have reverted this is that it is too easy to end up with more textures
than we wanted. It was impossible to enter texture paint without having textures added,
and code makes too many assumptions about what user may want.
Discussed during Sunday's meeting.
This might be a candidate for 2.72a but I'm not sure how other artists will take this
(and how refined and crash-free it is), better make a few iterations first.
And for interested parties...test please, don't wait until after a release to poke with such issues.
Also, add slot operator now adds a new unconnected image node in cycles. Only
used in the "Missing Data" panel. This should be a separate commit but I am squashing it into the same commit because
it relies too much on changes done here and can be reverted easily if complainstorm occurs again.
New render layer option named "View map cache" is added to reuse a
previously computed view map for subsequent rendering. The cache is
automatically updated when the mesh geometry of the input 3D scene has
been changed.
This functionality offers a major performance boost for Freestyle
animation rendering when camera-space mesh geometry is static, as well
as for repeated still renders with updates of line stylization options.
Although the "View map cache" toggle is a render layer option, the cache
memory is shared by all render layers and scenes. This means that if
Freestyle is used for two or more render layers (possibly in different
scenes through the compositor), then the cached view map for one render
layer is replaced by a new view map for another render layer and hence
no performance gain is expected.
The following two sort keys are added for sorting chains.
* Projected X - Sort by the projected X value in the image coordinate system.
* Projected Y - Sort by the projected Y value in the image coordinate system.
A new line style option for the selection of first N chains is also added.
Moreover, the chain sorting and chain selection operations are now executed
in this order instead of the reverse order used previously. The UI has also
changed accordingly. This functional change is backward compatible and
won't result in visual differences.
Some nodes only work in certain node trees, so don't show them in the Add Node menu when this is the case.
This can probably be expanded to Input Nodes too, but need to double check some cases here still.
On 4k devices the default pixel size leads to tiny OpenGL drawing
that is hardly usable without doubling the DPI. The retina system
on OSX aims to alleviate this problem by introducing a general 2x
pixel size.
No equivalent feature exists on other platforms so far. However,
to emulate the effect this patch introduces a "virtual" pixel size
factor for OpenGL drawing.
Note that the user currently has to enable this manually by selecting
the "Virtual Pixel Mode" in the user preferences (defaults to native).
All windows of a Blender instance share the same virtual pixel size as well.
It may be possible to handle this on a per-window basis and automate
the selection somewhat (if enabled by the user), so working with
multiple screens becomes more convenient, but technical limitations
make this a bit difficult (on X11 with nvidia drivers the actual screen size
is not reported correctly).
