Plumiferos request: Made individual duplicated group objects still check on
the restriction flag, *after* the group-duplicator itself was checked for.
So it works both. (Matt; was urgent feature, hope you're OK? These options
showed in outliner for groups anyway :).
#5417: Only Shadow material gave shadow outside of Spot bundle
#5414: Material Nodes: sockets without input were always treated as single
value inputs, ignoring color or vector. (Caused by commit to do
automatic conversions of socket links).
#5420: When reading with old Blender a new file that has a new window type,
saving it over, and read back in current Blender, the window type
should be reset to EMPTY, because all its data got lost.
Material Nodes still have undefined output to the passes. Currently only
the active Material node gives pass info. Bug was that check for active
was wrong, giving stripes because of hanging variables.
I'll work soon on providing all pass options in the Material nodes. This
fix at least correctly provides passes for active material, and clears
memory of pass info in advance.
Also: outliner view "current scene" did not show render layers.
ALso: outliner click on renderlayer now activates it (for UI)
Also: zbuffer for transparent was not initialized to 'infinity' correctly
added restrictDraw/Select/Render to objects in python
updated group and scene docs for last commit
made 3ds import use new scn.objects rather then Object.New() - (removed import as instance for now)
fixes off import error from this report http://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?t=84182

Bugfix #5398: setting object layers from background render caused "bad call
to addqueue: 0 (18, 1)" messages to be sent to the console. Add a check in
addqueue_ext() for G.background first before printing.
- New Passes: UV and Rad(iosity)
- New Nodes: UV Map and Index Mask
- Z-combine now is antialiased
As usual, please check the log. Has nice pics!

For devs: the antialias code from Vector Blur is now exported in compo
too. Works pretty good. Even fixed a bug in antialias, so vectorblur
will be better.
Also: found out that OpenGL display list speedup accidentally was still
triggered with the rt button... so it did not work by default.
Irregular Shadow Buffer: doesn't support wire shadow, but also should not
crash then!
Note that ISB works with real face coverage, not zbuffering faces at all.
For wires to work in this method, we have to introduce a wire thickness,
but that will give endpoint condition troubles.
Action Channel 'protecting' now works for the NLA editor. Action
channels in the active action that are 'protected' cannot get
transformed, duplicated, or deleted in the NLA editor.
Strips under an object's strip in the NLA editor can now get collapsed,
like items in the Outliner.
Once an object's strips have been collapsed, it is still possible to add
strips to that object; Other operations will not be possible.
----------
Bugfix #5373: creating a curve or text object using Object.New() without
linking any data to the object would later cause a segfault when ob->data
was later dereferenced. This problem will be fixed (hopefully soon) in the
API when new objects are created with data and linked to scenes all in one
step, but for now check for curves that ob->data is defined before using,
otherwise print an error message to the console and skip the object.
- Removed stupid idea to insert convertor nodes in Node Shaders, when a
link is created by non-matching sockets. Now it works like Compositor,
doing a default conversion. Works like this:
1 from 3 or 4 values: take average
3 from 1: copy to all
3 from 4: copy 3
4 from 1: copy to 3, set alpha to 1
4 from 3: copy 3, set alpha to 1
- Added select-linked in Nodes. Lkey or Shift+L. Also in pulldown menus
Functionality was a bit limited still; now added the option to bind
a group of Lamps entirely to a Material, excluding them from any other
Material. Note that Lamp visibility layer options still work as for
Lamps usually.
In preview.blend: made a lightgroup for all lamps, and set them to be
the "RenderLayer override". That way it will ignore local material
lightgroups for previews.
- Bug: material emit was ignored (showed in preview render backdrop)
- Bug: world exposure was ignored
- Bug: lamp halo was ignoring 'render layer light override'.
Further reshuffled the way shadows are being pre-calculated, this to enable
more advanced (and faster) usage of Material lightgroups. Now shadows are
being cached in lamps, using a per-sample counter to check if a recalc is
needed. Will also work (later) for Raytracing node shaders.
- New: Material LightGroup option "Always", which always shades the lights
in the group, independent of visibility layer. (so it allows to move such
lights to hidden layer, not influencing anything).
edges in Editmode
This bug was due to CCGDerivedMesh (the DerivedMesh backend used to store
editmode subsurf results) not copying edge flags correctly, meaning that
they were unavailable to the EdgeSplit modifier. I have updated
CCGDerivedMesh to copy edge flags correctly.
Adds a button next to the threads button to disable texture processing
in a render. If anyone doesn't like the button feel free to revert this
one, its pretty simple.

In short:
- Passes now have option to be excluded from "Combined".
- RenderLayers allow to override Light (Lamp groups) or Material.
- RenderLayers and Passes are in Outliner now, (ab)using Matt's nice
'restriction collumns'. :)
