* Fix crash in light path node
* Fix struct alignment issue for cuda
* Fix issue with instances taking up too much memory
* Fix issue with ray visibility working incorrect on some objects
* Enable OpenCL always and remove option, it has no dependencies so may as well
* Refuse to load kernel if OpenCL version < 1.1, recent drivers are needed
* Better error handling for OpenCL device
* 3D views with rendered draw mode will now revert to wireframe on file load
After reviewing this code, it seems that this case can work after all.
However, several things needed to be tweaked:
1) Removed check which stopped parented objects from getting the
visual keying coordinates determined. This actually wasn't doing
anything, given that this case would never occur as...
2) Tweaked the visualkey_can_use() function to also consider parenting
as a cause for visual-keying to be necessary.
the script has a unix-name <> real-name mapping which is not totally complete since I couldn't find everyones real names.
In this case the commit name is credited.
Also added a link to the credits page in the splash.
* Add max diffuse/glossy/transmission bounces
* Add separate min/max for transparent depth
* Updated/added some presets that use these options
* Add ray visibility options for objects, to hide them from
camera/diffuse/glossy/transmission/shadow rays
* Is singular ray output for light path node

--- text from the patch.
Recently Campbell Barton added callback functionality for Python's usage, but this only includes pre- and post-render callbacks. There are no callbacks for the duration of the render. This patch adds the few lines required for executing a callback while Blender Render is working. The callback resides in the rendering pipeline stats function, so whenever statistics are printed, the callback is executed. This functionality is required if one wants to:
1) Observe what is happening while Blender is rendering via the command line
2) Add custom statistics that Blender prints while the renderer works
3) The user wants to continue executing his Python script without the code halting at bpy.ops.render.render()
Personally I'm currently using this for printing out more detailed progress reports at Renderfarm.fi (such as CPU time, time spent rendering, total progress in regards to the entire rendering process). Tested on Windows, Linux and OS X.
Example on how to use the callback:
def statscall(context): print("Thanks for calling!")
bpy.app.handlers.render_stats.append(statscall)
bpy.ops.render.render(animation=False, write_still=True)
