This was difficult to do because we group theme colours and display them
together in user preferences. To make the background options more
presentable and keep them grouped and separate, I needed to group the
two gradient colours somehow. I added a separate ThemeSpaceGradient RNA
struct as opposed to ThemeSpaceGeneric. This struct is the same as
ThemeSpaceGeneric but it lacks the window background option (which does
nothing now) and includes the UiGradient struct which now has both
gradient colours. I modified the clear functions to use a new high
colour from the gradient. Now all options appear grouped and any other
editor that may use a gradient for the window background may do so.
Also corrected incorrect MAIN_VERSION_ATLEAST macro, it would not detect
versions correctly
It introduces a new (py-extendable and registrable) RNA type, UIList (roughly similar to Panel one), which currently contains only "standard" list's scroll pos and size (but may be expended to include e.g. some filtering data, etc.). This now makes lists completely independent from Panels!
This UIList has a draw_item callback which allows to customize items' drawing from python, that all addons can now use. Incidentally, this also greatly simplifies the C code of this widget, as we do not code any "special case" here anymore!
To make all this work, other changes were also necessary:
* Now all buttons (uiBut struct) have a 'custom_data' void pointer, used currently to store the uiList struct associated with a given uiLayoutListBox.
* DynamicPaintSurface now exposes a new bool, use_color_preview (readonly), saying whether that surface has some 3D view preview data or not.
* UILayout class has now four new (static) functions, to get the actual icon of any RNA object (important e.g. with materials or textures), and to get an enum item's UI name, description and icon.
* UILayout's label() func now takes an optional 'icon_value' integer parameter, which if not zero will override the 'icon' one (mandatory to use "custom" icons as generated for material/texture/... previews).
Note: not sure whether we should add that one to all UILayout's prop funcs?
Note: will update addons using template list asap.
This two things were using the same DNA and RNA structures because
internally they're completely the same. However, that was confusing
from the interface point of view.
Now it should be much more clear what's going on there.
New Outliner mode: "Main Data".
This shows a flattened, non-hierarchical list of all linkable "ID" data in
your current project. It works fine on searches. Actually this is the
view on the "Main" database in Blender, the one that's saved in a .blend.
This is in general more useful than the "Datablocks" viewer,
which is not searchable, and shows every property of data as well.
Based on patch [#30837] UV Offset Modifier
by Pawel Kowal (pkowal)
- Allows you to setup a transformation between objects to apply to UV coords.
- Option to select which axis apply to U/V.
- Option to select the UV center (needed for transformations that scale or rotate).
- Uses from/to objects in a similar way to the Warp modifier.
- Vertex group can be used to adjust influence.
this node allows for more control for normalization of the mapped input range.

* Shader script node added, which stores either a link to a text datablock or
file on disk, and has functions to add and remove sockets.
* Callback RenderEngine.update_script_node(self, node) added for render engines
to compile the shader and update the node with new sockets.
Thanks to Thomas, Lukas and Dalai for the implementation.
Removing data then accessing would allow invalid memory access and often crash.
Example:
import bpy
image = bpy.data.images.new(name="a", width=5, height=5)
bpy.data.images.remove(image)
print(image.name)
Now access to the removed data raises an error:
ReferenceError: StructRNA of type Image has been removed
This is the same level of error checking that was done in blender 2.4x but was made difficult by RNA functions not having access to the PyObject's.

Also addressed code inconsistency due to changes in the trunk revision 50628 (color
management with OCIO) and 50806 (UV project material). OCIO-related changes are marked
OCIO_TODO as in some other files modified in revision 50628.
Replace old color pipeline which was supporting linear/sRGB color spaces
only with OpenColorIO-based pipeline.
This introduces two configurable color spaces:
- Input color space for images and movie clips. This space is used to convert
images/movies from color space in which file is saved to Blender's linear
space (for float images, byte images are not internally converted, only input
space is stored for such images and used later).
This setting could be found in image/clip data block settings.
- Display color space which defines space in which particular display is working.
This settings could be found in scene's Color Management panel.
When render result is being displayed on the screen, apart from converting image
to display space, some additional conversions could happen.
This conversions are:
- View, which defines tone curve applying before display transformation.
These are different ways to view the image on the same display device.
For example it could be used to emulate film view on sRGB display.
- Exposure affects on image exposure before tone map is applied.
- Gamma is post-display gamma correction, could be used to match particular
display gamma.
- RGB curves are user-defined curves which are applying before display
transformation, could be used for different purposes.
All this settings by default are only applying on render result and does not
affect on other images. If some particular image needs to be affected by this
transformation, "View as Render" setting of image data block should be set to
truth. Movie clips are always affected by all display transformations.
This commit also introduces configurable color space in which sequencer is
working. This setting could be found in scene's Color Management panel and
it should be used if such stuff as grading needs to be done in color space
different from sRGB (i.e. when Film view on sRGB display is use, using VD16
space as sequencer's internal space would make grading working in space
which is close to the space using for display).
Some technical notes:
- Image buffer's float buffer is now always in linear space, even if it was
created from 16bit byte images.
- Space of byte buffer is stored in image buffer's rect_colorspace property.
- Profile of image buffer was removed since it's not longer meaningful.
- OpenGL and GLSL is supposed to always work in sRGB space. It is possible
to support other spaces, but it's quite large project which isn't so
much important.
- Legacy Color Management option disabled is emulated by using None display.
It could have some regressions, but there's no clear way to avoid them.
- If OpenColorIO is disabled on build time, it should make blender behaving
in the same way as previous release with color management enabled.

This commit reshapes a bit runtime button info getter, by adding a new uiButGetStrInfo() which accepts a variable number of uiStringInfo parameters, and tries to fill them with the requested strings, for the given button (label, tip, context, RNA identifier, keymap, etc.). Currently used mostly by existing ui_tooltip_create(), and new UI_OT_edittranslation_init operator.
It also adds a few getters (to get RNA i18n context, and current language iso code).
Finally, it adds to C operators needed for the py ui_translation addon:
*UI_OT_edittranslation_init, which gathers requested data and launch the py operator.
*UI_OT_reloadtranslation, which forces a full reload of the whole UI translation (including rechecking the directory containing mo files).
For the first operator to work, it also adds a new user preferences path: i18n_branches_directory, to point to the /branch part of a bf-translation checkout.
===========================================
Major list of changes done in tomato branch:
- Add a planar tracking implementation to libmv
This adds a new planar tracking implementation to libmv. The
tracker is based on Ceres[1], the new nonlinear minimizer that
myself and Sameer released from Google as open source. Since
the motion model is more involved, the interface is
different than the RegionTracker interface used previously
in Blender.
The start of a C API in libmv-capi.{cpp,h} is also included.
- Migrate from pat_{min,max} for markers to 4 corners representation
Convert markers in the movie clip editor / 2D tracker from using
pat_min and pat_max notation to using the a more general, 4-corner
representation.
There is still considerable porting work to do; in particular
sliding from preview widget does not work correct for rotated
markers.
All other areas should be ported to new representation:
* Added support of sliding individual corners. LMB slide + Ctrl
would scale the whole pattern
* S would scale the whole marker, S-S would scale pattern only
* Added support of marker's rotation which is currently rotates
only patterns around their centers or all markers around median,
Rotation or other non-translation/scaling transformation of search
area doesn't make sense.
* Track Preview widget would display transformed pattern which
libmv actually operates with.
- "Efficient Second-order Minimization" for the planar tracker
This implements the "Efficient Second-order Minimization"
scheme, as supported by the existing translation tracker.
This increases the amount of per-iteration work, but
decreases the number of iterations required to converge and
also increases the size of the basin of attraction for the
optimization.
- Remove the use of the legacy RegionTracker API from Blender,
and replaces it with the new TrackRegion API. This also
adds several features to the planar tracker in libmv:
* Do a brute-force initialization of tracking similar to "Hybrid"
mode in the stable release, but using all floats. This is slower
but more accurate. It is still necessary to evaluate if the
performance loss is worth it. In particular, this change is
necessary to support high bit depth imagery.
* Add support for masks over the search window. This is a step
towards supporting user-defined tracker masks. The tracker masks
will make it easy for users to make a mask for e.g. a ball.
Not exposed into interface yet/
* Add Pearson product moment correlation coefficient checking (aka
"Correlation" in the UI. This causes tracking failure if the
tracked patch is not linearly related to the template.
* Add support for warping a few points in addition to the supplied
points. This is useful because the tracking code deliberately
does not expose the underlying warp representation. Instead,
warps are specified in an aparametric way via the correspondences.
- Replace the old style tracker configuration panel with the
new planar tracking panel. From a users perspective, this means:
* The old "tracking algorithm" picker is gone. There is only 1
algorithm now. We may revisit this later, but I would much
prefer to have only 1 algorithm. So far no optimization work
has been done so the speed is not there yet.
* There is now a dropdown to select the motion model. Choices:
* Translation
* Translation, rotation
* Translation, scale
* Translation, rotation, scale
* Affine
* Perspective
* The old "Hybrid" mode is gone; instead there is a toggle to
enable or disable translation-only tracker initialization. This
is the equivalent of the hyrbid mode before, but rewritten to work
with the new planar tracking modes.
* The pyramid levels setting is gone. At a future date, the planar
tracker will decide to use pyramids or not automatically. The
pyramid setting was ultimately a mistake; with the brute force
initialization it is unnecessary.
- Add light-normalized tracking
Added the ability to normalize patterns by their average value while
tracking, to make them invariant to global illumination changes.

* Remove all code for Texture and Sequencer plugin system, this never worked in 2.5x / 2.6x and is therefore not needed anymore.
* DNA structures are kept, all read/writefile code is gone.
Skin modifier documentation:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:Nicholasbishop/SkinModifier
Implementation based in part off the paper "B-Mesh: A Fast Modeling
System for Base Meshes of 3D Articulated Shapes" (Zhongping Ji,
Ligang Liu, Yigang Wang)
Note that to avoid confusion with Blender's BMesh data structure,
this tool is renamed as the Skin modifier.
The B-Mesh paper is current available here:
http://www.math.zju.edu.cn/ligangliu/CAGD/Projects/BMesh/
The main missing features in this code compared to the paper are:
* No mesh evolution. The paper suggests iteratively subsurfing the
skin output and adapting the output to better conform with the
spheres of influence surrounding each vertex.
* No mesh fairing. The paper suggests re-aligning output edges to
follow principal mesh curvatures.
* No auxiliary balls. These would serve to influence mesh
evolution, which as noted above is not implemented.
The code also adds some features not present in the paper:
* Loops in the input edge graph.
* Concave surfaces around branch nodes. The paper does not discuss
how to handle non-convex regions; this code adds a number of
cleanup operations to handle many (though not all) of these
cases.

Additional changes:
* Fix for recent changes of BKE_* function renaming.
* Fix for an "attempt to free NULL pointer" in BlenderStrokeRenderer::RenderStrokeRepBasic().
--- Changes to File Output node ---
* Flat layer names in EXR multilayer files.
For a socket with name "AAA" the previous resulting EXR layer name would be "AAA.AAA", i.e. the render layer as well as render pass would use the socket name.
Now the "render_layer.render_pass" scheme is ignored in multilayer files, socket names are directly written to EXR layers (EXR layer name is "AAA" in this example). If sockets should have a notion of "render layer" this can still be achieved by explicitly adding a separator, e.g. "AAA.BBB". When loading such layers into a Blender Image struct, the name is interpreted as a "render_layer.render_pass" again (although the image node does not care about it, see below).
* Socket sub-paths (for singlelayer) or layer names (for multilayer) are stored in dedicated string variables in the socket storage data. This way the RNA can define precise string subtypes (PROP_FILEPATH) and length. The file/layer slots are defined as separate structs with own name properties in the RNA as well, so they can be used nicely with the list template.
* Ensure unique socket paths/layer names to prevent overwriting of files and layers respectively.
--- Changes to Image node ---
* Loading multilayer OpenEXR files has improved layer name splitting into render layer + render pass names now. This properly supports arbitrary EXR layer names now.
Example:
OpenEXR layer name: AAA.BBB.CCC
is split into
Render layer name: AAA.BBB
Render pass name: CCC
If the layer name has no '.' separators the render layer name is empty.
* Image node ignores the selected render layer in the image user data. Instead all existing layers are displayed at the same time by combining the render layer names with render pass names again, to reconstruct the original EXR layer name. This avoids the problem that render layers with empty name are not selectetable in the dropdown and allows using all image layers at the same time without duplicating the node.
