The channels define code in ANIM_init_channel_typeinfo_data() was not synchronized with the
definition of channel types (eAnim_ChannelType) in ED_anim_api.h.
Most of the places which relied on RNA_path_resolve() did so believing that if
it returned true, that it had found a valid property, and that the returned
pointer+property combination would be what the path referred to. However, it
turns out that if the property at the end of the path turns out to be a
"pointer" property (e.g. "data" for Object.data), this would automatically
become the pointer part, while the prop part would be set to null. Hence, if a
user accidentally (or otherwise) specifies a path for the single-property driver
variable type like this, then Blender would crash.
This commit introduces two convenience functions - RNA_path_resolve_property()
and RNA_path_resolve_property_full() - which mirror/wrap the existing
RNA_path_resolve() functions. The only difference though is that these include a
check to ensure that what was found from resolving the path was in fact a
property (they only return true iff this is the case), and make it explicitly
clear in the name that this is what they will do so that there's no further
confusion. It is possible to do without these wrapper functions by doing these
checks inline, but the few cases that had been patched already were pretty
hideous looking specimens. Using these just make it clearer and simpler for all.
I've also beefed up the docs on these a bit, and changed these to using bools.
and RNA for it independent of the build flag for enabling Freestyle. Suggested
by Sergey Sharybin through a code review of the branch.
* Many #ifdef WITH_FREESTYLE blocks were removed to always have Freestyle-specific
DNA file specification and RNA for it built in Blender. This will allow Freestyle
setting survive even when a non-Freestyle build is used for loading and saving
files. It is noted that operations are still conditionally built through #ifdef
WITH_FREESTYLE blocks.
* To this end, new blenkernel files BKE_freestyle.h and intern/freestyle.c have
been added. All API functions in FRS_freestyle_config.h as well as some of those
in FRS_freestyle.h were moved to the new files. Now the relocated API functions
have BKE_ prefix instead of FRS_.
Resolved conflicts:
release/datafiles/startup.blend
source/blender/editors/space_nla/nla_buttons.c
Also updated source/blender/blenkernel/intern/linestyle.c as a follow-up of
recent changes for the use of bool.
Somewhere along the line, this functionality broke, even though the code to
handle these settings was still in place for many of these. The main implication
of this fix is that it should now be possible to select a particular AnimData
block, which makes it possible to do things such as changing the action
associated with that AnimData block (i.e. via the "Animation Data" panel in the
NLA Editor), as well as other operations which I've had on the todolist for a
while. Stay tuned!
you to fix the RNA Path in-place
For F-Curves that are disabled or marked as having errors because their paths
are invalid (indicated with a red line underneath their names), it is now
possible to use the Ctrl-Click renaming functionality to bring up a textbox for
fixing the offending RNA Path "in place" (i.e. in the channels list) without
having to bring up the properties region first.
This makes it easier to fix the paths if you know what you're doing. However,
caution is still advised for most people. In particular, be aware that this uses
a separate "RNA Array Index" for indexing into array properties (i.e. location,
rotation, color) which will not be shown here, and can only be edited from the
panel (or datablocks editor/scripts).
Nice formatted version (pictures soon):
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Ref/Release_Notes/2.66/Usability
Short list of main changes:
- Transparent region option (over main region), added code to blend in/out such panels.
- Min size window now 640 x 480
- Fixed DPI for ui - lots of cleanup and changes everywhere. Icon image need correct size still, layer-in-use icon needs remake.
- Macbook retina support, use command line --no-native-pixels to disable it
- Timeline Marker label was drawing wrong
- Trackpad and magic mouse: supports zoom (hold ctrl)
- Fix for splash position: removed ghost function and made window size update after creation immediate
- Fast undo buffer save now adds UI as well. Could be checked for regular file save even...
Quit.blend and temp file saving use this now.
- Dixed filename in window on reading quit.blend or temp saves, and they now add a warning in window title: "(Recovered)"
- New Userpref option "Keep Session" - this always saves quit.blend, and loads on start.
This allows keeping UI and data without actual saves, until you actually save.
When you load startup.blend and quit, it recognises the quit.blend as a startup (no file name in header)
- Added 3D view copy/paste buffers (selected objects). Shortcuts ctrl-c, ctrl-v (OSX, cmd-c, cmd-v).
Coded partial file saving for it. Could be used for other purposes. Todo: use OS clipboards.
- User preferences (themes, keymaps, user settings) now can be saved as a separate file.
Old option is called "Save Startup File" the new one "Save User Settings".
To visualise this difference, the 'save startup file' button has been removed from user preferences window. That option is available as CTRL+U and in File menu still.
- OSX: fixed bug that stopped giving mouse events outside window.
This also fixes "Continuous Grab" for OSX. (error since 2009)
* Split and moved Cycles’ render layers panels into the render_layer
context as well (would be nice to hide this context when not needed,
e.g. with the BGE, but this is not so easy to do nicely...).
* Fixed some inconsistencies with trunk (probably due to svn merge
glitches) using r52858 as reference. Also recovered the missing
release/bin/blender-softwaregl file.
* A bunch of style code fixes in Blender's own code (not Freestyle
itself yet): line lengths, spaces around operators, block formatting,
headers, etc. In rna_linestyle.c, color_blend_items was replaced by
ramp_blend_items (exported from rna_material.c).

This commit also includes a fix of a bug identified during the merge and committed in revision 51853.
Thanks Thomas (dingto) for the timely fix!
Use the "Selected" color instead of the "Active" color when the group has active
status. This should help make the text just a little more legible, though in
some cases it still might not be enough.

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.
