added 'INTERNAL' operator flag so operators which are only meant to be called by other operators or internal use are not displayed to the user.
Currently only use this flag for the operator search toolbox, is ignored in debug mode.
- 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
On anim-render, a click in timeline stopped render completely.
The reason for this was a bit wacko code to cope with frame-step
feature (steps of multiple frames).
I thought of fixing that, but instead decided to block any operator
in Blender to change a frame while a render is in progress.
Both render engine and UI are accessing (writing to) the same
data then, which is a bad conflict.
Still a serious weakness of threaded render, but I'll keep
trying to allow this as far as possible :)
Right Mouse on area edges has menu to Split or Join. Works like 2.4.
Code needed cleanup and upgrade; operators were hardcoded tied to using
the area corner widgets only. In theory this is getting py ready even,
but that might need some additional testing. :)
- Fixed problem where just trying to replace existing keyframes would
result in the intepolation set on that keyframe to get lost. This was
mostly an issue if trying to re-block some animation in the middle of
a shot, with the rest of the keys set to Bezier, but the first
keyframe in this new segment needing to be Constant so that we don't
get sloppy automatic interpolation in the way
- Hooked up Media-Play/Stop/Next/Prev controls to animation playback
and keyframe jumping functionality in default keymap in addition the
existing controls. I'm also considering whether to migrate Next/Prev
Keyframe key mappings off the Ctrl-PageUp/Down keys for a more
ergonomic option (i.e. shift <, shift >)
- Bugfix #25937
Child-of constraint now behaves like regular parent-child
relationship when all options are set. This prevents the
errors that can happen when decomposing non-uniform matrices.
- Todo item
The area corner hotspots for splitting/merging were far too
narrow. Now it uses a circular distance to detect whether
the hotspot is active. Also cleaned up drawing code for it.
Migrating "redraws" settings from TimeLine view data to per Screen.
The options are now still shown in the TimeLine "Playback" menu
though.
This means that whatever redraw settings you set in a TimeLine editor
will be used throughout a screen (i.e. editor layout) to determine
which editors will get updated during playback, instead of only
certain editors doing certain things at vague times.

Also, I moved some version patches pre 2.56 version bump into a
version-check for 2.56. These must've been missed when doing the
release...
Area split error: if the first split position was exactly aligned
with another 'edge' it merged the edges, causing the subdivision
layout to go haywire. Only happens in rare occasions, good find
this report :)
- Toobar views were reset on hide/unhide. Now they keep the view
and zoom level.
- Added operator to delete all unused 'space data', this to make
clean startup.blend files, remove unused editors, and to be
able to test starting defaults for editors.
No hotkey, use search for "Clean-up space-data"
RotoBeizer
The jump to keyframes operator was being a bit too strict with its
checks for where it should check for keyframes.
In this particular case, RotoBezier keyframes were on Curve AnimData,
so the check for Object AnimData would return false, thus overlooking
this possibility. However, it should be safe enough to just open
things up a bit more.
You now can drop a .blend inside blender window to open it.
Implementation notes:
- Added call to extract icon type for files. Code re-used from
space_file
- External files that get dropped set icon types too.
Drop box polls can check for this.
- Also enabled setting op-context for drop operators, this was
needed to prevent filewindow to open.
