only tags the ID and does the actual flush/update delayed, before the next
redraw. For objects the update was already delayed, just flushing wasn't
yet.
This should help performance in python and animation editors, by making
calls to RNA property update quicker. Still need to add calls in a few
places where this was previously avoided due to bad performance.

This allows automated node tree creation and editing.
developer note, made some changes to the patch.
- removed incorrect use of container_of(), GCC only also, search for the scene instead.
- commented socket min/max access, these are internal use only as far as I can tell.
- commented group/ungroup functions, these use the selection context and are not really data level functions.
- use remove() rather then delete()
Compositor: MultiLayer image node: on using layer menu, the entire
multilayer file got freed, causing node to collapse and open full
again after a composite.
ZCombine node in compositor ignored alpha values. Enabling it
would break compatibility though, so it's a tickbox option now.
Patch provided by reporter, Martin Lubich. Thanks!
- fixed WM_OT_context_cycle_int was causing problems with int overflow, now it cycles properly.
- rename QUOTE macro to STRINGIFY_ARG, and added STRINGIFY, which is used more often since it gives the value as a string.
This is because problem reported by venomgfx on the irc.
If you have a render of 2k with a render size of 25% (and this
problem is for any resolution/size) and you try to use a image
of 1k in the compo, the first thing you do is put a scale node.
Here come the problem, if you set the option "Scene Size" in the
node scale, the buffer output is not the same size that the render.
This is because the "Scene size" work with the image size and
not the render size, so in this case is the 25% of 1k.. not
the 25% 2k.
So this new option "Render Size" scale the output buffer to the
render resolution, taking into account the render size (percentage) too.
* Added a user-preference setting which disallows setting the current frame number to a negative number. This setting only applies when setting the current frame by scrubbing the time cursor in a timeline view, or by typing a value into the current frame number field.
* Made the minimum frame number for the start frame to be 0, which should make setting keyframes by a regular step size less confusing. Also changed the MINFRAME define to 0 for consistency. Hopefully this doesn't cause any problems with any output formats.
* Fixed some missing channel selection cases in animation editors.
* The Lift/Gamma/Gain formula previously was incorrect, fixed this and
removed conversions - now the RNA values are the same as what goes into
the formula.
* Because of this, added the ability for the Value slider to map to a wider range
than 0.0-1.0. The black/white gradient remains the same, in this case just
indicating darker/brighter rather than absolute colour values. Also added ability
for color wheels to be locked at full brightness (useful for this case, where the
color value itself is dark).
* Added an alternate formula - offset/power/slope (asc-cdl). This fits the standard
Color Decision List formula, here for compatibility with other systems, though
default Lift/Gamma/Gain is easier to use and gives nicer results.
Was very quick to do, now re-aquainted with node editor.

Todo: modes for affecting hue and value on the vertical axis as well as just saturation - or if an enterprising coder wants to give it a go, let me know and
I can help :)
similar to sequence editor.

Also added 0 key (zero key) shortcut when mouse is over a button, to reset it to its default value.
Same as the RMB menu ->Reset to Default, except for color wheels, it only resets the hue/sat/value
components that that widget affects.
Peter/Xavier: The existing color balance code can generate NaNs (fractional power of a negative),
which causes havoc along the image pipeline. I added a check in the node code to prevent this.
Still plenty of potential for lots of better colour correction tools in the compositor, just needs time...
- makesrna would crash on Windows with this malloc business (writing wrong places).
- The one malloc never got freed (apart from not being MEM_callocN - which should be used instead of vanilla malloc/calloc!)
This works with operator properties - if you pass the name of a scene and renderlayer to
the screen.render operator, it will render that layer as a single layer re-render.
* Property update functions no longer get context, instead they get only
Main and Scene. The RNA api was intended to be as context-less as
possible, since it doesn't really matter who is changing the property,
everything that uses the property should be updated.
* There's still one exception case that use it now, screen operations
still depend on context too much. It also revealed a few places using
context where they shouldn't.
* Ideally Scene shouldn't be passed, but much of Blender still depends on
it, should be dropped when we try to support multiple scene editing.
Change was planned for a while, but need this now to be able to call
update without a context pointer.
Now the rna path to nodes happens via the node name, which is ensured to be unique via RNA.
As part of this, the node->username string has been removed, upon renaming the node itself it takes care of making sure it's unique (like bones, constraints, etc). There's currently no interactive rename tool, but you can do it via the datablocks editor.
- plus a few notifier tweaks, using the newer NC_NODE notifier to refresh graph editor etc.
This commit restores Grease Pencil functionality for the Nodes Editor. Grease Pencil data is now stored at the NodeTree level, which means that annotations remain with the NodeTree they were made for.
Possible TODO's:
* In future, it may be worth investigating attaching Grease Pencil data to individual nodes, to allow annotations to stay attached to nodes as they are moved
* Include the settings for the 'active node' in a panel in the new NKEY region where the Grease Pencil buttons appear.
