- Rename option and flag to something more sane
- Add property to manipulator operator and set true by default
Confirm on Release can now be forced true or false per operator, in which case it won't use the default value (the user preference).
Add hidden property to be able to force confirm on release (drag immediately is a silly name) on or off.
Streamline method for adding common properties to transform operators.
- library data allows pointcache writing (hard to know how this should work long term so ifdef'd for now)
- changing the frame now updates the dupligroup objects
- BKE_ptcache_ids_from_object(), option to get the id's from duplis
note! scene_update_tagged() is called from the main() loop, and runs BKE_ptcache_quick_cache_all(), this could become a performance issue, especially with duplis, should probably not call BKE_ptcache_quick_cache_all() all the time, even when not playing back animation.
(commits 27856 by Campbell from render25 branch)
This commit removes the Old Track method (used to be found under Object -> Animation -> Track), with all existing instances of this being converted to Track To Constraints. In fact, while performing this removal, I found that this was supposed to have happened in version 2.27 already, but for some reason the options were left in, and this function managed to survive for a further decade.
I've left the tracking axes around still, since it seems some curve tools still use that. However, that usage should probably get faded out in future too?
Misc notes:
* Fixed compiling error with constaints from harkyman's Maintain Volume patch.
* Subversion of 2.52 now bumped up to .2
Only source/blender/editors/ dir, should not give errors on different platforms
Only removing: UI_*.h, ED_*.h, WM_*.h, DNA_*.h, IMB_*.h, RNA_*.h, PIL_*.h
After a few days of wrong turns and learning the finer points of RNA-type-subclassing the hard way, this commit finally presents a refactored version of the Keying Sets system (now version 2) based on some requirements from Cessen.

------
The main highlight of this refactor is that relative Keying Sets have now been recoded so that Python callbacks are run to generate the Keying Set's list of paths everytime the Keying Set is used (to insert or delete keyframes), allowing complex heuristics to be used to determine whether a property gets keyframed based on the current context. These checks may include checking on selection status of related entities, or transform locks.
Built-In KeyingSets have also been recoded, and moved from C and out into Python. These are now coded as Relative Keying Sets, and can to some extent serve as basis for adding new relative Keying Sets. However, these have mostly been coded in a slightly 'modular' way which may be confusing for those not so familiar with Python in general. A usable template will be added soon for more general usage.
Keyframing settings (i.e. 'visual', 'needed') can now be specified on a per-path basis now, which is especially useful for Absolute Keying Sets, where control over this is often beneficial.
Most of the places where Auto-Keyframing is performed have been tidied up for consistency. I'm sure quite a few issues still exist there, but these I'll clean up over the next few days.
Revised the conditions under which motion paths get recalculated after transforms (when auto-keying is enabled). Now, the type of path display does not matter, but rather that the object/bone in question has any paths at all. This makes animating with these a much smoother experience.
Proper fix for this. Moving special mouse input stuff to custom callbacks (this also makes the per transform main functions a bit cleaner).
It also fixes the operator property (value) for shear and warp.

Bugfix: When autokey is enabled, notifiers to refresh the animation editors *after* transforms finished for objects were missing.
While I understand the need to limit these to not doing this during transform, after transform, this lead to lag/inconsistent UI problems.
--
* Added 'Damped Track' Option to 'Make Track' Operator
* Improved the code of the 'Clear Track' operator to include other types of tracking constraint too
- recode of the whole sequencer audio handling
- encode audio flag removed, instead you choose None as audio codec, added None for video codec too
- ffmpeg formats/codecs: enabled: theora, ogg, vorbis; added: matroska, flac (not working, who can fix?), mp3, wav
- sequencer wave drawing
- volume animation (now also working when mixing down to a file!)
- made sequencer strip position and length values unanimatable
Only recalculate changes when absolutely necessary (mouse move triggers a soft recalc that will only happen before the next redraw other events trigger hard recalcs). The problem was that mouse moves are reported as lots of events (with small dx,dy) between each redraw which would trigger often heavy recalculations every time while only the last one was really important (the one before the redraw).
This makes snap project (retopo) much more manageable but induces a very small lag equal to one refresh cycle. Confirming transform does a hard refresh, so the final result is always consistent with mouse position.
The problem was that wmPushMatrix/wmOrtho/.. and similar functions did not
work well for offscreen rendering. It would have been possible to make a
fake subwindow for this, but I decided to just remove this extra layer as
it does not seem to have much purpose and has been quite confusing when
trying to fix other bugs. The relevant matrices are already stored in
RegionView3D so there will be no increase in calls to glGetFloat, which may
have been a performance reason to use this system in the past.
