This is a addtion to the dynamic fly mode.
It behaves as the first person navigation system available in most 3d world games nowadays.
You can alternate between the old mode (Fly) and the new mode (Walk) in User Preferences > Inputs

Shortcuts:
----------
WASD (hold) - Move forward/backward and straft left/right
QE (hold) - Move up and down
Tab - Alternate between Walk and Fly modes
Shift (hold) - Speed up movement
Alt (hold) - Slow down movement
Space or MMB - Teleport
V - Jump
+/- or mouse wheel - speed increase/decrease speed for this Blender session
User Preferences Options:
-------------------------
Navigation Mode - fly/walk navigation systems (fly is the old, walk is the new, next options are for walk mode only)
Gravity - alternate between free navigation and walk with gravity modes
Mouse Sensitivity - sensitivity factor to mouse influence to look around
Teleport Duration - how long the teleport lasts
Camera Height - camera height to use in gravity mode
Jump Height - maximum jump speed in m/s
Move Speed - base move speed in m/s
Boost Factor - multiplication factor when running or going slow (1/boost)
Development Notes:
------------------
* The initial code was based on view3d_fly.c.
* The NDoF code was not touched, so it most likely is not working.
Pending Issues:
---------------
* Draw in the UI the shortcut options, and current values (e.g., Mode: Fly/Walk)
(we need a proper API for that)
* OSX seems to present issues if we re-center the mouse every time. We implemented a workaround for that, but a real fix would be welcome.

This attribute allows to open a blend file as an alternative
start-up file. The attribute is only available from python.
This is an example call:
bpy.ops.wm.read_homefile(filepath='path/to/a/file.blend')
This patch also changes readfile.c to ensure that unintentionally
stored cursor states are not imported from the loaded file.
Summary:
Now it's possible to assign an image to plane tracks
in clip editor. This image is only used for display
in clip editor and this image is being warped into
the plane track rectangle.
Main purpose of this is to get early feedback about
how good image warping matches the footage, before
clip goes to the compositor.
Pretty much straightforward change: just compute
homography from undeformed normalized frame corner
coordinates (unity square) to plane marker corners
and apply this matrix to opengl stack.
Still could improve behavior when perspective
plane transform is degenerate, but that's not so
much critical for now i'd say.

Summary:
Makes readfile.c more clear and easier to navigate in.
We would need to do such a move when we'll do 2.70 bump
anyway. So better be prepared.
In fact, as soon 2.70 bumo is done i would think we'd
better create versioning_270 file and do version code
there. Otherwise readfile.c will grow up dramatically
again.

This allows you to choose between subdivide edges, collapse and both. Being able to
only collapse edges can be useful to simplify meshes with accidentally introducing
more detail.

- Made tooltip for compression a bit more clear.
- Use default compression of 15%. Gives around
two times boost on export movie file here in
test with only 10% increased file size.

Summary:
Old idea with changes since previous release tag
didn't work good enough. In most of the cases tag
was done in a branch hence not actually reachable
from the master branch.
Now change since release is gone, and date of
the latest commit is used instead.
The date is displayed in format YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm
in the splash.
New bpy.app fields:
- build_commit_timestamp is an unix timestamp of
the commit blender was build from.
- build_commit_date is a date of that commit.
- build_commit_time is a time of that commit.

* Removed audio-only options from ffmpeg render settings (added some versionning code too)!
* Moved the Mixdon button from the Scene->Audio pannel to the Render->Render panel.
confusion, grid snap is now the default as it seems to be the most wanted and easy to use mode.
Absolute grid snapping happens in a somewhat generic function 'applyGridAbsolute', which could also be used for objects and other transforms later on. It is conceptually similar to the 'project' snapping
option, in that it calculates a delta vector for each element on top of the overall transform, which places each node on the grid.
Node transform now uses the top-left node corner for TransformData->loc. The transform center is still the average of node centers, so that scaling and rotation works nicely.
snapGrid*** functions have been renamed to snapGridIncrement*** to distinguish better between incremental and absolute grid snapping.
mimics the previous behavior when settings were shared by both modes (but not equivalent).
NOTE: Due to the use of additional sRGB conversion in the LGG mode the result is not entirely accurate, this should perhaps be fixed.
Settings for each mode are kept in their own color values nevertheless, this avoids potential problems with float precision.
- Use commit number since last annotated tag as a
revision number replacement. It'll eb followed
by 'M' symbol if there're local modification in
the source tree.
- Commit short SHA1 is included. Helps getting
information about commit used to build blender
with much faster.
- If build is not done from master branch, this also
will be noticed in the splash screen.
This commit also replaces revision stored in the
files with git-specific fields (change and hash).
This is kind of breaks compatibility, meaning
files which were saved before this change wouldn't
display any information about which revision they
were saved with. When we'll finally switch to git,
we'll see proper hash and change number since
previous release in the files, for until then
svn version will be used as a change number and
hash will be empty.
Not a huge deal, since this field was only used
by developers to help torubleshooting things and
isn't needed for blender itself.
Some additional tweaks are probably needed :)

Patch with collaborations and reviewed by Campbell Barton
Added a weight slider to track which defines
how much particular track affects in a final
reconstruction. This weight is for sure
animateable.
Currently it affects on BA step only which in
most cases will work just fine.
The usecase of this slider is to have it set
to 1.0 most of the time where the track is
good, but blend it's weight down to 0 when
tracker looses the track. This will prevent
camera from jump.
Tutorial is to be done by Sebastian.
Objects were not being freed when unlinked from all scenes, due to user count increments on the ParticleSystem->parent pointers. These were referencing the objects themselves, creating a user count of 1
and preventing free. Object pointers should not usually do user counting, except in some cases like scenes and groups (thanks to Brecht for clarifying this).
It was rather confusing from the user usage point
of view and didn't get so much improvement after
new bundle adjuster was added.
In the future we might want to switch resection
to PPnP algorithm, which could also might be a
nice alternative to fallback option.
Remove KeyMap mode from outliner, was an old half-finished features redondant with user preferences settings...
Also moved key map item's "event type to map type" and map type defines at WM level, this is too much generic to be at RNA level.
Also added a check in versionning code to convert all outdated outliner modes to a valid one (seems old 'verse' ones were not handled as well).
Thanks to Brecht for reviews and advices!
* Remove the compatible falloff SSS implementation. We shouldn't support two implementations in the long term, and 2.7x is a good release number do break some compatibility as well.
* Version patch added, so Files with Compatible falloff will automatically use Cubic now.
It was already mentioned in the manual, that Compatible is deprecated.

forgetting to change it from RGB when painting images or saving renders.
This makes more sense in the new alpha pipeline, renders no longer contain an
alpha channel that does not match the RGB channels, so saving files as RGBA
should give the expected results when opening them in other applications.
default settings in the startup.blend without having to actually save and embed
the file, which can be a tricky process and is problematic in branches and
patches.
This function can be emptied each time a new startup.blend is committed.
- ability to change the space the axis is projected in (so you can choose worldspace or -space, was always local-space before).
- support projecting on a negative axis, without this some very simple clamping is not possible if the direction happened not to be positive.
- add distance limit (same as modifier), without this single meshes surrounding an object would make the constraint impossible to use in some cases (it would snap to the wrong side).
note: this removes the ability to project on multiple axes at once but this option only added up directions and didnt project on multiple axes as you might expect.
