Previous state:
Right now, there are "memories" of the "old" (less than a month!) translation way:
* A few remaining calls to BLF_gettext() (only UI_translate_do_iface and UI_translate_do_tooltip should be used).
* The _() macro still also calls BLF_gettext()!
New state:
Here are the changes made by the patch:
* Removing the no more needed _() macro.
* Removing most N_() and _() calls, only keeping the few needed ones (i.e. strings that are in no other way findable by xgettext and/or update_msg script).
* Defining in UI_interface.h IFACE_() and TIP_() macros (resp. for UI_translate_do_iface and UI_translate_do_tooltip).
* Replacing all calls to BLF_gettext by relevant IFACE_ or TIP_ one.
* Replacing all calls to UI_translate_do_iface by IFACE_.
* Replacing all calls to UI_translate_do_tooltip by TIP_.
All this somewhat clarifies and simplifies the code.
On the bf-translations scripts side, this only implies adding IFACE_ and TIP_ as detection markers for xgettext.
It also allows to reduce POTFILES.in quite notably (only 20 files remaining in it).

was infact a very old bug where an empty title took the following word for the title, eg: "%t|First Item|Second Item"
the first item would be evaluated as a title.
- use Py_ssize_t when dealing with python sequence sizes
- dont call PySequence_Size(py_b) in a loop (its slow).
- use faster sequence/float parsing in aud.Factory.filter
Use this to raise errors when assigning a string property fails even though the value to assign *is* a string.
Before:
TypeError: bpy_struct: item.attr= val: Object.name expected a string type, not str
After:
TypeError: bpy_struct: item.attr= val: Object.name error assigning string, UnicodeEncodeError('utf-8' codec can't encode character '\udce9' in position 23: surrogates not allowed)
- rearrange structs to work for 64bit
- define all vars before goto's
- ifdefs for qsort_r/qsort_s
- dont cast pointers to int only for NULL checks
- dont printf STR_String directly, get the char pointer from it
also minor change to gpu py module, no need to pass empty tuple to PyObject_CallObject, can just be NULL
shader = gpu.export_shader(scene,material)
Returns the GLSL shader that blender generates to produce the visual effect
of material in scene for the purpose of reusing the shader in an external engine.
This function is meant to be used in a material exporter so that the GLSL
shader can be exported entirely. The return value is a dictionary containing the
shader source code and all associated data.
The full documentation is under sphinx.
Warning: there has been an API between the patch and this commit:
uniform['lamp'] and uniform['image'] now return python reference to
ID block instead of ID name as before. The X3D exporter that uses this
function must be adapted.

--- 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)
