eg:
row.prop_search_self(scene, "active", "keying_sets", text="")
...becomes
row.prop_search(scene.keying_sets, "active", scene, "keying_sets", text="")
This is more flexible since it works for other UI functions too.
eg:
bpy.context.StringProperty(attr='myprop'); del bpy.context.myprop
- made rna StringProperty/PointerProperty & similar into class methods.
- file selector hide option was inverted
scene.active_keying_set --> scene.keying_sets.active
...same for active_uv_texture. active_vertex_color, active_keyconfig,
- move mesh.add_uv_layer() and mesh.add_vertex_color() into their collections
also have them return the newly created layer and dont set the layer active.
uvtex = mesh.uv_layers.new(name)
vcol = mesh.vertex_colors.new(name)
- they now share the same code so it wont happen again.
- added id_data to properties so we can do...
matrix = C.object.matrix_world
obj = matrix.owner.id_data # get the original object back.

Ctrl-LMB or Double-Click over the expand buttons in the Outliner would try renaming the object/item, but in 2.4x this only happened over the name.
layout.prop_search_self(), the same as layout.prop_search() except it uses an attribute of the collection.
A number of collections have an 'active' member which couldnt be used with prop_search() and meant we had a mix of active properties being in collections and directly added as properties.
layout.prop_object() --> prop_search().
The internal name is uiItemPointerR, in python this can translate into into an Object, however this is misleading.
It can be confused with a blender Object and uiItemPointerR can also be used for strings.
other than sculpt. The sculpt changes made the radial control code sculpt
mode specific, it should be usable for various purposes, so made it generic
again now.
changed some rna names to be more consistant
- use_texture -> use_image, since it sets if 'image' is used.
- use_map_color_diff -> use_map_color_diffuse since diffuse is used elsewhere in the same type.
Changed some names when applying.
- render was use_render, changed to show_viewport so call it show_render
- texface shadow was use_shadow_face, changed to use_shadow_cast since this only affects casting.
- transp was alpha_mode, changed to blend_type since its similar to other overlay blending where this property name is used.
An example of how this is useful - an importer mixin could define the filepath properties and a generic invoke function which can run the subclasses exec for each selected file.
- Panels and Menus now skip the property check when registering.
- renamed _idproperties_ to _idprops_ in function names, function names were getting very long.
