* Added back icon to open the Splash Screen in the info header, next to version string info.
* Removed an unnecessary toggle argument for particle mode select buttons. The Toggle argument is only intended for booleans, not enums.
Toggling options on the selection is better done as a generic operator.
Replace ARMATURE_OT_flags_set and POSE_OT_flags_set with WM_OT_context_collection_boolean_set and use menus to access it with specific settings.
This way its easy make a key shortcut which toggles any boolean on any collection - sequences, metaballs, objects, bones etc.
- comment/remove assignments from values to themselves.
- add case break statements (no functional change but some source code checkers notice).
- fix python errors when the sculpt brush is None.
and select loose verts/edges:
----------------------------------------------
Split select by number of vertices and select
loose verts/edges into seperate functions.
Previously select by number of vertices was
also accessed through two different UI items,
"Select Quads" and "Select Triangles". Now
it is one function with a integer property
for selecting the size of the face you want
selected.
Also added an option to modify the behavior
of the selection. Can now select whether you
want to select faces that have vertices
equal to, less than or greater than the number
of vertices in operator property.
- fix: user pref, window title was reset to 'Blender' on tab usage
- Undo history menu back:
- name "Undo History"
- hotkey alt+ctrl+z (alt+apple+z for mac)
- works like 2.4x, only for global undo, editmode and particle edit.
- Menu scroll
- for small windows or screens, popup menus now allow to display
all items, using internal scrolling
- works with a timer, scrolling 10 items per second when mouse
is over the top or bottom arrow
- if menu is too big to display, it now draws to top or bottom,
based on largest available space.
- also works for hotkey driven pop up menus.
- User pref "DPI" follows widget/layout size
- widgets & headers now become bigger and smaller, to match
'dpi' font sizes. Works well to match UI to monitor size.
- note that icons can get fuzzy, we need better mipmaps for it
Added operator to convert animation for standard object transforms
(i.e. loc/rot/scale) to delta transforms.
This can be accessed from the Object -> Transform -> Animated
Transforms To Deltas menu entry in the 3D View.
Since the situation which causes this is quite common (especially for
motion-graphics type applications), where users animate some object
first and then decide to duplicate this and place it around the place
in different locations, it's probably important that we have some
support for this kind of thing. Newbies with the "help, all my anmated
duplicates disappear" problem are recommended to use this operator
from hereon in.
For reference of rationale, see:

-Curve-to-delta-equivalent
- follow rotate/pan/zoom/dolly operators.
- auto-depth preference works.
- smooth view navigation supported.
- view selected, all & numpad operator work too.
TODO
- deal with camera transform locked axis
- find a way to move/zoom the frame while the camera is locked (if it turns out to be a problem).
- Pose Propagate and Pose Sliding tools now work in the same way as
Pose Library previewing, with regards to selections. If some bones are
selected, then only those will be affected. But if no bones are
selected, then the whole rig gets affected.
- Added a "On Selected Markers" option, which only propagates poses to
frames where there's a selected marker. Animators can combine this
with a "select markers whose name contains..." operator to get an
effective way to manage hand-keyed walk cycles, etc.
- Renamed "Last Keyframe" mode to "Before End". This mode still just
copies the pose to all keyframes starting from the current frame until
the last one encountered per F-Curve
- "Last Keyframe" mode (new one) now copies the pose to the last
keyframe. This is useful for making animations cyclic (i.e. go to
first keyframe, edit, then Pose->Propagate->To Last Keyframe (Make
Cyclic))
This tool automates the process of copying a pose to successive
keyframes, making it easier for animators to go back and change the
pose for some controls which remain "static" for periods of time.
Previously, animators would need to do a "{Ctrl-Pageup Ctrl-V} *
number_of_static_keyframes" dance for each set of controls that this
happened on, which is not too good ergonomically speaking.
There are two modes exposed via the menu (Pose->Propagate):
- "Pose Propagate" - also known as the 'WHILE_HELD' mode, which
propagates to all keyframes that are holding the same value
- "To Next Keyframe" - which only propagates the pose to the closest
keyframe in the occurring after (but not including) the current frame
Additionally, there are a few other modes that can be used, though
they are less useful for direct use from the UI, though they can be
used via the PyAPI as need be.
---
Also, I did some cleanups in the "Pose" menu to bring it more into
line with the Object mode one. There are some more tweaks that could
still be done here, such as bringing the keyframing operator entries
under a submenu too (as in the Object mode version) to get the length
of this under control.

op/ --> startup/bl_operators
scripts/startup/ is now the only auto-loading script dir which gives some speedup for blender loading too.
~/.blender/2.56/scripts/startup works for auto-loading scripts too.
