button under the mouse, and so clicking the button failed without first
moving the mouse. Similar issues could happen with popups and switching
windows.
The problem is that a notifier was being used to deactivate possible other
activated buttons, but as notifiers are delayed it could undo the correct
activation too. If anyone notices hanging tooltips or other issues after this
fix, please report them.
- Removed grid-snapping for area coordinates on scaling windows.
That caused the areas to shrink or expand, and eventually corrupt screen layouts.
- Added simple but efficient life resize for OSX. I need to know why this is so much
code for Windows... I suggest Windows to just copy same method; dispatch the queue,
and just let the event system draw.
were no properly updating when rendering animations.
The render engine was only updating the image user current frame on images used
by material textures. Now moved the function that updates all from the editors
to blenkernel level and do it on all frame changes.
The regions of the space are stored in a different place depending if it is
active or if another space is in use. The code here was iterating over both
but it should be only one because the other might contain regions of another
space.
Getting the 'CTX_data_main' while un-fullscreen'ing a space would do a context lookup into the view3d_context which had an uninitialized layer.
since view3d_context doesn't hold a 'main' member it never did anything but cleaner not to do context lookups while modifying the view.
- noticed while checking on a real bug :)
- The corner 'duplicate/merge area' widget was drawing too often.
(Added comment in subwindow 'active' code, too many redraws are being
sent on moving mouse over region eddges)
- Since 2.50, the .blends have the current file name stored
- In versions up to 2.65.0 this didn't save for files saved from startup
(i.e. files saved without loading a file)
Code now adds the file name after all, except for recovery loads.
Recoded the (2.65.1 version) region scale, which happened on loading files with
different saved size windows. Also scaling window itself was affected.
Old method: scaled region widths based on area/editor scaling factors.
That was leading to too small or too large button regions easily.
New method: region width/height now are in DPI control. Much nicer!
- On changing dpi, buttons remain visually same widths.
- On changing window sizes, the button views and zooms stick to exactly same.
Caveat: people who were using Blender with 'extreme' dpi setting, might find
the layouts slightly differ. Not sure if this is worth version patching...
Todo: overlapping regions that overlap together draw badly. Fix underway.
On mouse-over these regions now become active always (as if they were opaque).
This active state is used by many tools, or for drawing cursors.
Currently, all events (if not handled by button region) are passed on anyway to
the underlying region.
Visible errors were for example drawing the paint brush circle.
Nice formatted version (pictures soon):

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)

TL;DR:
* Frame node gets more usable bounding-box behavior
* Node resizing has helpful mouse cursor indicators and works on all borders
* Node selection/active colors are themeable independently
* Customizable background colors for nodes (useful for frames visual
distinction).
--debug
--debug-ffmpeg
--debug-python
--debug-events
--debug-wm
This makes debug output easier to read - event debug prints would flood output too much before.
For convenience:
--debug-all turns all debug flags on (works as --debug did before).
also removed some redundant whitespace in debug prints and prefix some prints with __func__ to give some context.
