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.
The rendering device is now set in User Preferences > System, where you can
choose between OpenCL/CUDA and devices. Per scene you can then still choose
to use CPU or GPU rendering.
Load balancing still needs to be improved, now it just splits the entire
render in two, that will be done in a separate commit.
now you can still use column access
previously...
mat[2] = 1, 2, 3
needed to be converted into...
mat[0][2] = 1
mat[1][2] = 2
mat[2][2] = 3
but with column access you can do...
mat.col[2] = 1, 2, 3
Having 'row' attribute is a bit redundant since direct indexing on a matrix uses row but included for completeness.
- rename 'bcycles' --> '_cycles', since this is the python convention when a py module uses a C module internally.
- use macros for returning None
- make with_osl an attribute rather then a function.
- changes methods METH_VARARGS --> METH_O when single args are used.
this is a part of patch 29534, being applied separately
from patch [#29534] Change Matrix Representation and Access in Python to Conform with Standard Notation
by Andrew Hale (trumanblending)
* 1. Resize 4x4, code was ridiculously complex (cleanup only)
* 2. matrix * matrix checking for compatibility wasn't working right (bug in last release)
* 3. fix for result size for matrix * vector if matrix is 4x4 and vector size 3 (bug in recent patch)
* 4. fix for result size vector * matrix if matrix is 4x4 and vector size 3 (bug in recent patch)
also add an assert so invalid index access will raise an error in debug mode, without this it was quite easy to access invalid memory without meaning to.
no functional change.

This patch adds the ability to use arbitrary sized vectors from mathutils.
Currently vectors are only of size 2, 3 or 4 since they are generally restricted
to geometric applications. However, we can use arbitrary sized vectors for
efficient calculations and data manipulation.
Talked with Brecht and Campbell and they both agreed that bpy.types should match bpy.props
In the ideal world we would rename bpy.props to BooleanProperty. This would break scripts though. So we go for a compromise and at least have some consistency.
