There are two per-editor settings now, the Per-Strip setting (default)
and the Project setting.
The per strip setting basically uses the previous, per-strip options for
storing the proxies.
The project setting though will use a specified directory for -all-
proxies, or the blend file directory if no directory is given.
This patch will update the 3D viewport if a word value has changed.
This patch does not depends on an other patch, but should applied after https://developer.blender.org/D151 otherwise the the word value viewport update is be slow.

This patch will fix the color management for the mist and global ambient color.
It will remove the old "Color Management" switch in the BGE "Render > Shading" panel and will use the "Display Device" setting in the "Scene > Color Management" panel instead.

Basically out of range could happen when opening files made in 2.72 when
the new icons for texture painting were added. Apparently some more
caution is needed here.
This change introduces a new hysteresis parameter that it will be added
or subtracted to/from the LOD distance to avoid popping when a LOD
object moves close to the LOD transition continuously.
Then, we have the following:
- a new LOD Hysteresis setting per scene (default 10%) which is located
in Scene context --> Level of Detail panel. This scene parameter also
will active/deactive the scene hysteresis.
- and a new LOD Hysteresis setting per object (default 10%) which is
located in Object context --> Levels of Detail panel. The LOD hysteresis
setting per object (if active) will overwrite the hysteresis setting per
scene value.
For the new blends: the hysteresis setting per scene would be active by
default and the per object would be inactive by default.
For the old blends: both hysteresis settings (per scene and per object)
would be inactive by default. A quick way to take advantage of this
feature for old blends would be to activate the hysteresis parameter in
the scene context -> Level of Detail panel

Added an utility function which performs vertex split based on the loop
normal so now backing API matches to what's happening in Cycles and BI
in terms of autosplit.

A new checkbox "High quality" is provided in camera settings to enable
this. This creates a depth of field that is much closer to the rendered
result and even supports aperture blades in the effect, but it's more
expensive too. There are optimizations to do here since the technique is
very fill rate heavy.
People, be careful, this -can- lock up your screen if depth of field
blurring is too extreme.
Technical details:
This uses geometry shaders + instancing and is an adaptation of
techniques gathered from
http://bartwronski.com/2014/04/07/bokeh-depth-of-field-going-insane-http://advances.realtimerendering.com/s2011/SousaSchulzKazyan%20-
%20in%20Real-Time%20Rendering%20Course).ppt
TODOs:
* Support dithering to minimize banding.
* Optimize fill rate in geometry shader.
General idea is to avoid actual calculation from property update()
callback and tag things for update later instead.
That said, pose constraint flags are now tagged for update and
handled as a part of object update. In the new depsgraph it'll
be a nice dedicated operation node.
Also avoid updating disabled flags for all the modifiers. This
part of the path is not totally optimal since it'll still need
to iterate over bones in order to get pchan, but to optimize it
further would be nice to find a way to avoid pchan requirement
all together.

Code here is a bit weird/simpler than GPU_draw, but we can reuse the API
here, albeit with a few restrictions (no high resolution, custom
filtering mode - which will probably get lost next time blender reloads
textures)
The purpose of this change is to add extra possibility to render engines and
export scripts to reduce peak memory footprint during their operation.
This new argument should be used with care since it'll leave mesh in not really
compatible with blender format, but it's ok to be used on temp meshes.
Unfortunately, it's hard to get scene where it'll show huge benefit because
in my tests with cycles peak memory is reached in MEM_printmemlist_stats().
However, in the file with sintel dragon it gives around 1gig of memory benefit
after removing the polys which would allow other heavy to compute stuff such as
hair (or even pointiness calculation) to not be a peak memory usage.
In any case, this change is nice to have IMO, and only means more parts of
scene export code should be optimized memory-wise.

Issue this commit is addressed to is that particle system and particle modifier
will contain caches once derived mesh was requested and this cached data will
never be freed.
This could easily lead to unwanted memory peaks during synchronization stage
of rendering.
The idea is to have RNA function in object which would free caches which can't
be freed otherwise. This function is not intended to deal with derived final
since it might be used by other objects (for example by object with boolean
modifier).
This cache freeing is only happening in the background rendering and locked
interface rendering.
From quick tests with victor file this change reduces peak memory usage by
command line rendering by around 6% (1780MB vs. 1883MB). For rendering from
the interface it's about 12% (1763MB vs. 1998MB).

This patch makes it possible for the user to select all supported compression types in OpenEXR 2.2
Discussion points:
- B44 is only defined for half's it compresses to a fixed representation of 44% of the halfs. We do currently not reflect in the UI that in the case of float32's it will be equal to compression = NONE
- ZIPS is single scanline zip and is supposed to be useful in cases where importing in Nuke happens.
- The new Dreamworks formats, are the worth exposing etc etc

(Note for the uninitiated looking at the diffs: this is very much *not* what
you're probably thinking right now, if you're looking at the line in
act_new_exec())
- spiral scheme is much more intuitive here. Also use float number for
spirals to avoid having samples on the same radial direction when sample
number is divisible by spiral number.
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?
