This auto/heat vgroup creation seems to be fuzzy/unstable (each run gives a slightly different result). I have not the competences (nor time) to investigate that laplacian stuff, so for now just adding an option when parenting to an armature with envelope/heat, to mirror weights along the X axis (as it is done by default when doing it from the Weight Paint mode).
Colors used by Bone Groups are now copied/assigned to Action Groups too when
they're created now. This completes the work started in r.46960 to restore this
functionality from 2.48.
Currently, there is no control over when/whether these colors are copied over
(although it is possible to disable the display of these colors for relevant
animation editors if desired). Originally I was going to make this a more
generic Keying Sets feature, though that turned out to be a bit too complex to
manage.
Other notes:
* Split out the code for copying colors to a common library function
OUTLINER_OT_parent_drop
* use scene of child instead of active scene
* poll to check if parent and child are in same scene
OUTLINER_OT_parent_clear
* get scene from child instead of only working on active scene
* poll to check if no parent
OUTLINER_OT_scene_drop && OBJECT_OT_make_links_scene
* memory leak on error
* would only link some objects on error
- Make sure functions are named in way BKE_<object>_<action> (same way as RNA callbacks)
- Make functions which are used by mball.c only static and remove their prototypes
from public header file.
Further cleanup is coming.
--debug
--debug-ffmpeg
--debug-python
--debug-events
--debug-wm
This makes debug output easier to read - event debug prints would flood output too much before.
For convenience:
--debug-all turns all debug flags on (works as --debug did before).
also removed some redundant whitespace in debug prints and prefix some prints with __func__ to give some context.
not pick the right object. This operator had two properties "object" and
"type", but the latter was used while the former had the right description.
Now changed it to have only an "object" property, so that the above code works.
In fact, error was much deeper and DND parenting in outliner used to parent all selected
objects to drop target, not just currently dragging object.
This was caused by code sharing between Parent Set operator and this DND operator which
was iterating all selected objects in scene and was setting parent to it.
Solved issue by separating actual parenting code which makes specified object be parented
to specified parent and moved iterating to Parent Set exec callback.
Now both of discovered issues (unneeded loop error and parenting all selected objects)
are solved, but more extensive testing of this changes are welcome.
These changes are to make the bmesh api more consistent and easier to learn, grouping similar functions which is convenient for autocomplete.
This uses similar convention to RNA.
* use face/loop/edge/vert as a prefix for functions.
* use 'elem' as a prefix too for functions that can take any type with a BMHeader.
* changed from camel case to underscore separated (like RNA).

From the patch:
This patch enables drag and drop parenting for objects in the outliner.
Drag and drop is supported for a selection of multiple objects as well. Also,
all of the "special" parenting tasks (armature, curve, lattice) are possible
through the usual parenting context menus. For example, drag a mesh object onto
an armature and you are prompted for using bone envelopes, automatic weights,
etc.

This commit extends limit of ID and objects to 64 (it means 63 meaning
characters and 1 for zero-terminator). CustomData layers names are also
extended.
Changed DNA structures and all places where length constants were hardcoded.
All names which are "generating" from ID block should be limited by MAX_ID_NAME-2,
all non-id names now has got own define called MAX_NAME which should be used all
over for non-id names to make further name migration stuff easier.
All name fields in DNA now have comment with constant which corresponds to
hardcoded numeric value which should make it easier to further update this
limits or even switch to non-hardcoded values in DNA.
Special thanks to Campbell who helped figuring out some issues and helped a lot
in finding all cases where hardcoded valued were still used in code.
Both of forwards and backwards compatibility is stored with blender versions newer
than January 5, 2011. Older versions had issue with placing null-terminator to
DNA strings on file load which will lead to some unpredictable behavior or even
crashes.
