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).

This ensures that the beams color does not darken along borders,
by using the last valid color of the ray as the border color (extending
colors in the direction of the source point).
- Ortho result from view3d_utils.region_2d_to_vector_3d was flipped.
- Persp result wasn't normalized.
- operator_modal_view3d_raycast.py failed for ortho views.
Thanks to Philipp Oeser for the initial fix.
Fixed dead references of API identifiers (e.g., freestyle.types.Interface0D)
due to relocations of the identifiers into submodules. Also made various minor
revisions of mark-ups and typos.
Freestyle sections of the API docs were empty due to Freestyle module reorganization
in commit rB6498b96ce7081db039354228213d72e8c70bd3aa.
Module __all__ property was added to submodules so as to properly exclude irrelevant
documentation elements such as mathutils.Vector.
Currently, this pointer prop is not editable, and making it so does not seem
to be trivial (sound strip seems to use the filepath path, not the soundID pointer?),
so just hide the matching UI item.
- follow references to Bone, Sequence, Node (non ID types) by name only.
was causing infinite recursion.
- add support to skip individual class properties.
This can now write an entire blend-file.
This adds a fresnel conductive OSL preset to the Text Editor. Based on a patch by Lukas Stockner.

* Fix caustic properties, was not updated.
* Remove wrong items, leftovers from panel splitting.
* Add missing items. Even if the bundled presets do not set those, a user expects that all properties inside the panel are taken into account, when adding a new preset.
Since the choice to link or append has been removed in the file browser operator panel,
there was no way to tell whether as a user you were linking or appending.
To fix this the proposed patch separates the operators.

The problem addressed here is that there was no mean to check if an iterator
points the last of the elements being iterated over. Such checking is necessary
to reliably dereference the iterator (i.e., calling the operator*() method of the
underlying C++ iterator object).
Now Interface0DIterator and StrokeVertexIterator have an .at_last property
to check if an iterator points the last element. Using this new API feature,
the present commit partly reverts the previous commit rBeb8964fb7f19 to
better address T41464.

Include explicit control for texturing:
This commit introduces a painting mode option, available in
the slots panel. The default value "Material" will create slots from the
blender material, same as just merged from the paint branch.
The new option "Image", will use an explicit image field that artists can use
to select the image to paint on. This will should allow painting regardless
of the renderer used or for use in modifiers.
Remotely based on patch by kevindietrich (Kévin Dietrich), but using
a single generic panel here, as suggested by UI team.
Note we add this panel in all modes (only one tweak in scuplt mode,
where there is no history menu generated it seems, unlike other
'paint-like' modes), we can decide to move it into its own tab later.
