* Added more lamp properties. (patch by Michael Fox)
* Fix a number of warnings in the RNA code.
* Converted DOS line endings to UNIX.
* Added some information on defining ID structs, and fixed use
of "ID" inheritance for some non-ID structs.
* Added text on naming conventions to the RNA documentation, and
applied it to the current code.
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderDev/Blender2.5/RNA#Naming_Conventions
* Made auto collection wrapping work for ** arrays.
(Mesh.mats, still points to ID since there is no Material yet).
* Added sorting of RNA structs/properties before writing.
* Wrap most user editable data in DNA_mesh_types.h and DNA_meshdata_types.h.
Still needs to be improved in some areas though, especially how to deal
with data layers (expose per element or as array, or both?), and data in
face corners (bmesh type data structures are more logical here).
Tweaks to RNA defining to make some cases easier:
* Added range callback function for int/float.
* Added 'skip' callback for listbase and array iterators to skip items in
the collection.
* Extra error print when calling wrong define_property_*_sdna functions.
* Also made button code respect non_editable flag, is quick change though,
need to add support for properly graying out etc.
* More ID property support. What was already possible was showing
ID properties as RNA properties. Now it is possible to define
RNA properties and have an ID property automatically created the
first time it is set (if not set it retuns the default).
* Added support for defining RNA structs and properties at runtime.
This is useful for python and plugins, and could also be used
for operators, not sure yet what is best there, they could be done
in preprocess for speed, but not sure how to do that while keeping
operator registration a single function.
* Added quick functions to get/set properties based on names, to be
used for operators.
* Added some simple support for inheritance, was already doing this
but having it as a feature simplifies things. Two things were added
for this: when defining a struct you can give a 'from' struct whose
properties will be copied, and structs like ID, operator, modifier,
can define a refine callback that will return the more specific type
of the struct like ID -> Object, Mesh, .. .
* Added simple windowmanager wrap with only the registered operators
list, used for testing RNA for operators.
* Added start of lamp wrapping (code by Michael Fox).
* Add back Object.data, was crashing with unknown data type.
* Added support for using consecutive variables like float r, g, b;
as an array without writing a manual get/set function.
* Also note the RNA documentation is updated now to be more
about how to define RNA and use it, including some diagrams.
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderDev/Blender2.5/RNA
* Added support for ID properties, mapped as follows:
* IDP Int = RNA Int
* IDP Float, Double = RNA Float
* IDP_String = RNA String
* IDP Group = RNA IDPropertyGroup Struct
* IDP_Array = RNA Array
* PropertyRNA and StructRNA are now defined private for the module,
to force external code to always use accessor functions.
* Rename cname to identifier.
* Rename PropertyEnumItem to EnumPropertyItem.
* Wrapped min/max/step/precision, pointer type for RNA.
* Draw FLT_MAX a bit better in buttons.
* Added accessor functions for structs and properties instead of
direct access, in preparation of wrapping ID properties.
* Added more error prints for wrong defines.
* Wrap RNA data structures with RNA.
* Disable dependency code for now to avoid confusion.
svn merge https://svn.blender.org/svnroot/bf-blender/trunk/blender -r12987:17416
Issues:
* GHOST/X11 had conflicting changes. Some code was added in 2.5, which was
later added in trunk also, but reverted partially, specifically revision
16683. I have left out this reversion in the 2.5 branch since I think it is
needed there.
http://projects.blender.org/plugins/scmsvn/viewcvs.php?view=rev&root=bf-blender&revision=16683
* Scons had various conflicting changes, I decided to go with trunk version
for everything except priorities and some library renaming.
* In creator.c, there were various fixes and fixes for fixes related to the -w
-W and -p options. In 2.5 -w and -W is not coded yet, and -p is done
differently. Since this is changed so much, and I don't think those fixes
would be needed in 2.5, I've left them out.
* Also in creator.c: there was code for a python bugfix where the screen was not
initialized when running with -P. The code that initializes the screen there
I had to disable, that can't work in 2.5 anymore but left it commented as a
reminder.
Further I had to disable some new function calls. using src/ and python/, as
was done already in this branch, disabled function calls:
* bpath.c: error reporting
* BME_conversions.c: editmesh conversion functions.
* SHD_dynamic: disabled almost completely, there is no python/.
* KX_PythonInit.cpp and Ketsji/ build files: Mathutils is not there, disabled.
* text.c: clipboard copy call.
* object.c: OB_SUPPORT_MATERIAL.
* DerivedMesh.c and subsurf_ccg, stipple_quarttone.
Still to be done:
* Go over files and functions that were moved to a different location but could
still use changes that were done in trunk.
* Added more error prints for wrong definitions, for cases that
would laters cause problems compiling or crash at runtime, and
also made messages more clear.
* Added some skeleton code for main/ID/mesh/vertex types for testing.
* Added support for automatic arrays as collections using SDNA.
* Changed how pointers to data work. Now they are always wrapped
in a PointerRNA struct, which contains the data pointer and type,
and also the data pointer and type of the ID datablock that this
belongs to, since for example a vertex on it's own may not have
enough information for some operations, it also needs the mesh.
* Added some code for defining dependencies with RNA, and looking up
data with paths like: scenes[0].objects["Cube"].data.verts[7].co.
Note sure either will end up being used, this is experimental.

This is the first code for the Data API, also known as RNA system in the
2.5 Branch. It does not include a user interface, and only wraps some
Scene properties for testing. It is integrated with Scons and Makefiles,
and compiles a 'makesrna' program that generates an RNA.c file.
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderDev/Blender2.5/DataAPIhttp://wiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderDev/Blender2.5/RNA
The changes are quite local, basically adding a makesrna module which
works similar to the makesdna module. The one external change is in
moving genfile.c from blenloader to the makesdna module, so that it can
be reused by the RNA code. This also meant changing the DNA makefiles.
It seems to be doing dependencies correct still in my tests, but if
there is an issue with the DNA not being rebuilt this commit might be
the one causing it. Also it seems for scons the makesdna and makesrna
modules are compiling without warnings. Not a new issue but this should
be fixed.
The RNA code supports all types as defined in the Data API design, so
in that sense it is fairly complete and I hope that aspect will not
have to change much. Some obviously missing parts are context related
code, notify() functions for updates and user defined / ID properties.
