more of a request then a bug but shows up a strange limitation with curve deform modifier,
The mesh bounding box would set the deform axis start/end to map the deformation of the curve to. This means it ignored offset in the object location and object data location (you could use a dummy vertex to trick it).
Old files wont change, added an option (next to stretch), called 'Bounds Clamp', old files have this behavior but newly made curves have it disabled.
Double checked this gives useful results with stretch on/off and negative axis.
[#23108] bpy.ops.object.origin_set(type='GEOMETRY_ORIGIN') dosen't work in console
[#23115] Crash when moving armature origin
- setting the armature in editmode would leave editdata in some cases.
- transforming selected linked objects to account for the movement of the obdata was only done for meshes, now do for curves and text3d.
- added utility functions for getting curve & mesh bounds.
- text3d moving center wasn't working at all.
- changed drawobject.c to use BLI_math funcs in more places.
- remove some unused code from operator object.origin_set.
Fix#21498: Edit curve Shape key /252_r 27318
Added full support of shape keys for curves and nurbs surfaces including
topology changing in edit mode, undo stuff, updating relative keys when
working under basis and so on.
- the length of a new text object wasnt set on creation.
- tex3d and controllers rna name was being set to its body (rather then ID name)
- remove reference to wave objects which are very old and not used anymore.
when both are off the behavior is unchanged.
This is needed when rendering alpha text so its possible to have a single layer of faces but use the bevel option to make text thicker.
adding a rim on the back when back is disabled also doesnt make much sense IMHO.
minor python edits too.
option is switched off. This fixes trouble when user converts curve which is
set as taper/bevel object to mesh (scene kept unchanged until object
recalculation).
- Moved checking of taper/bevel objects type to RNA property update handlers.
- Added resetting taper/bevel object in do_makeDispListCurveTypes it this
objects aren't curves.
Deny user to select non-curve objects for taper and bevel lists, also
added some checking into displist and curve modules - object could be
converted from curve to mesh (would be better to unset bevel/taper
object in this case -- will try to implement a bit later).
His log:
There is a small typo in copy_curve(): there will be serious troubles
if this functions is called for OB_FONT in edit mode (for my cases
it is segmentation fault).
I think we should set editfont to NULL for cloned curves (as it is made
for edit nurb).
This bug was found by trying to edit text with applied Cast modifier
and while I was searching what's wrong, I've found that in
castModifier_deformVerts() DerivedMesh is creating for all objects,
but in castModifier_*_do() derived mesh is used only for OB_MESH
objects. Maybe this place could be optimized a bit by skipping DM
creation for non-meshes?
* Selected keyframes in unselected F-Curves were still being modified, although not shown
* Selection tools for keyframes were changing the selection status of F-Curves, making keyframes sometimes disappear after trying to select another keyframe
* Warning fixes in a few other files
when changing curve twist I assumed 2D curves would not need dir or quat values set, however these are used when getting a path from a curve.
also added interp_v3_v3v3v3v3
* Convert all code to use new functions.
* Branch maintainers may want to skip this commit, and run this
conversion script instead, if they use a lot of math functions
in new code:
http://www.pasteall.org/9052/python
* #19819: 'Select' operator for Hooks was crashing when Hooks didn't have any vertices assigned yet
* Default twist resolution mode for curves is now 'Minimise'. This seems to work better for Curve Deforms and other purposes. Can be changed if other ways are better after some more testing.
* Spline IK now has more options for controlling how the x and z axis scaling is determined. There is now a choice between using the radius of the curve, the x+z scaling from the bones, or no scaling (default). This does break old files a bit, but this is to have a more stable base for later.
Internal change to not apply the shape keys to the Mesh vertex coordinates,
but rather use it as part of the derivedmesh/displist evaluation. This only
has one practical advantage right now, which is that you can now make a
linked duplicate and pin it's shape key to a different shape than the first
object.
Further, this makes shape keys correctly fit into the modifier stack design,
which will help implement some other features later. Also it means the mesh
vertex coordinates are now really the orco's.
- use_radius option, off by default for 2.4x files, on by default on new curves.
- curve deform modifiers (think tentacles)
- follow path (parent mode and constraint)
- curve guides
- added back Alt+S to scale point radius
- Mat3Scale and Mat4Scale arithb.c functions to make a new uniform scale matrix.
- TODO, effectors, looks like they have no way to scale from the radius yet.
* added new twist method - "Tangent", suggested by Martin.
the nice thing about this is its stable no matter how you rotate the data, rotation is local to each segment.
* added smooth option that smooths the twisting (before applying user twist), to workaround Z-Up and Tangent's ugly curve twisting. Id prefer not to have this however it makes tangent much nicer. Possibly tangent can be improved some other way and this can be removed.
A smooth value of 1.0 will iterate over and smooth the twisting by the resolution value of the spline.
* Minimum-Twist method now corrects for cyclic twist by taking the roll difference between first and last, then increasingly counter rotate each segment over the entire curve. Previously it calculated from both directions and blended them.
details
* BevPoints use quats rather then 3x3 matrix.
* added BevPoint direction "dir" and tangent "tan" used only for 3D curves.
* don't calculate BevPoint->cosa, BevPoint->sina for 3D curves.
* split bevel tilt calculation into functions.
* nurbs curves currently don't generate tangents and wont work with tangent twist method.
* some of the use of quats should be optimized.
* smoothing is not animation safe, the higher the smoothing the higher the likelyhood of flipping.
Renamed BevPoint's members
* x,y,z -> vec[3]; compatible with other functions.
* f1 -> split_tag; used by displist to set the splitting flag.
* f2 -> dupe_tag; used in curve.c to remove duplicates.
BevList
* flag -> dupe_nr; was being used as a counter for duplicate points.
* use arithb.c functions where possible.
* arrays for coords, tilt and radius were being allocated, then copied into the BevPoint's, now write directly into the values without allocing/freeing arrays.
moved CU_2D to Nurb->flag in do_versions
This made simple type checks confusing to read.
many... if( (nu->type & 7)==CU_BEZIER)
replaced with ... if(nu->type == CU_BEZIER)
made setting rna curve_2d clamp the Z values. still more RNA/UI changes to do.

Access next to the "3D" edit button.
details...
- open curves use the first points orientation and minimize twist for each new segment.
- cyclic curves calculate the least twist in both directions and blend between them
- AxisAngleToQuat replaced inline code.
- Notice the model on the right now has more even corners. added Vec3ToTangent to arithb.c.
own fault, broke rev16702.
Curves created by fonts didnt have their radius set. Forgot do do this when making radius calculated with the curve (like tilt)
There was very little structure in this code, using many globals
and duplicated code. Now it should be better structured. Most
things should work, the main parts that are not back yet are the
python plugins and markers. Notes:
* Blenfont is used for drawing the text, nicely anti-aliased.
* A monospace truetype font was added, since that is needed for
the text editor. It's Bitstream Vera Sans Mono. This is the
default gnome terminal font, but it doesn't fit entirely well
with the other font I think, can be changed easily of course.
* Clipboard copy/cut/paste now always uses the system clipboard,
the code for the own cut buffer was removed.
* The interface buttons should support copy/cut/paste again now
as well.
* WM_clipboard_text_get/WM_clipboard_text_set were added to the
windowmanager code.
* Find panel is now a kind of second header, instead of a panel.
This needs especially a way to start editing the text field
immediately on open still.
* Operators are independent of the actual space when possible,
was a bit of puzzling but got it solved nice with notifiers,
and some lazy init for syntax highlight in the drawing code.
* RNA was created for the text editor space and used for buttons.
* Operators:
* New, Open, Reload, Save, Save As, Make Internal
* Run Script, Refresh Pyconstraints
* Copy, Cut, Paste
* Convert Whitespace, Uncomment, Comment, Indent, Unindent
* Line Break, Insert
* Next Marker, Previous Marker, Clear All Markers, Mark All
* Select Line, Select All
* Jump, Move, Move Select, Delete, Toggle Overwrite
* Scroll, Scroll Bar, Set Cursor, Line Number
* Find and Replace, Find, Replace, Find Set Selected,
Replace Set Selected
* To 3D Object
* Resolve Conflict
Font object + editing back.
Was quite some work due to a myriad of globals all over!
Works nicely 100% local now.
To enable a single textedit operator, I've added a new
keymap entry KM_TEXTEDIT, which gives all keyboard events
to the handler. Also had to add a new keymap-add function
to force a keymap handler in beginning of region handlers.
In future this can be used to prioritize handlers.
Also: split off the arrow keys (frame change) to a separate
region level handler. Can be set with default flag in
regiontype->keymapflag ED_KEYMAP_FRAMES
