Option to draw mesh vertex-weights in editmode, available from the 'Mesh Display' panel.
TODO: get this to work when modifiers are applied in solid mode (texface-solidmode is working).
by Francisco De La Cruz (xercesblue), with some of my own changes/improvements.
Converts faces to triangle-fans (useful to run on ngons).
To access select a group of faces and press "Alt+P" or alternatively select the operator from the Faces menu (Ctrl+F)
* Reflect changes stated in prev commit about contexts in py code.
* Add a "Plural" context, to handle cases where english does not mark plural at all (e.g. shorten labels of only one adjective). Not so happy with that, but can't see any other way to do it, for now.
* Abuse "ID_CURVE" context for all falloff curves (this should solve some confusion issues, e.g. "sharp"...).
Conflicts resolved:
source/blenderplayer/bad_level_call_stubs/SConscript
Partly reverted changes to intern/cycles/blender/addon/ui.py in revision 52899
to make it easier to merge trunk changes.
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.
* Disabling Skeleton Sketching now refreshes the view properly, so that strokes
don't linger on even after being disabled
* Added the delete operator to the panel
Although the bug report here wasn't exactly clear about what exactly was wrong,
it soon became apparent that the UI stuff here was in need of some love.
Changes:
* Ported over missing tooltips from 2.49 (i.e. most of them)
* Fixed a few incorrect tooltips (mostly the subdivision length settings)
* Made the autonaming and number/side settings slightly clearer - number/side
are used to replace placeholders in the names of template bones (&N and &S
respectively) when autonaming is disabled. When it is enabled, these values are
determined automatically.

Implementation notes:
- Matcaps are an extension of Solid draw mode, and don't show in other drawmodes.
(It's mostly intended to aid modeling/sculpt)
- By design, Matcaps are a UI feature, and only stored locally for the UI itself, and
won't affect rendering or materials.
- Currently a set of 16 (GPL licensed) Matcaps have been compiled into Blender.
It doesn't take memory or cpu time, until you use it.
- Brush Icons and Matcaps use same code now, and only get generated/allocated on
actually using it (instead of on startup).
- The current set might get new or different images still, based on user feedback.
- Matcap images are 512x512 pixels, so each image takes 1 Mb memory. Unused matcaps get
freed immediately. The Matcap icon previews (128x128 pixels) stay in memory.
- Loading own matcap image files will be added later. That needs design and code work
to get it stable and memory-friendly.
- The GLSL code uses the ID PreviewImage for matcaps. I tested it using the existing
Material previews, which has its limits... especially for textured previews the
normal-mapped matcap won't look good.
