Irregular Shadow Buffer: doesn't support wire shadow, but also should not
crash then!
Note that ISB works with real face coverage, not zbuffering faces at all.
For wires to work in this method, we have to introduce a wire thickness,
but that will give endpoint condition troubles.
Action Channel 'protecting' now works for the NLA editor. Action
channels in the active action that are 'protected' cannot get
transformed, duplicated, or deleted in the NLA editor.
Strips under an object's strip in the NLA editor can now get collapsed,
like items in the Outliner.
Once an object's strips have been collapsed, it is still possible to add
strips to that object; Other operations will not be possible.
----------
Bugfix #5373: creating a curve or text object using Object.New() without
linking any data to the object would later cause a segfault when ob->data
was later dereferenced. This problem will be fixed (hopefully soon) in the
API when new objects are created with data and linked to scenes all in one
step, but for now check for curves that ob->data is defined before using,
otherwise print an error message to the console and skip the object.
- Removed stupid idea to insert convertor nodes in Node Shaders, when a
link is created by non-matching sockets. Now it works like Compositor,
doing a default conversion. Works like this:
1 from 3 or 4 values: take average
3 from 1: copy to all
3 from 4: copy 3
4 from 1: copy to 3, set alpha to 1
4 from 3: copy 3, set alpha to 1
- Added select-linked in Nodes. Lkey or Shift+L. Also in pulldown menus
Functionality was a bit limited still; now added the option to bind
a group of Lamps entirely to a Material, excluding them from any other
Material. Note that Lamp visibility layer options still work as for
Lamps usually.
In preview.blend: made a lightgroup for all lamps, and set them to be
the "RenderLayer override". That way it will ignore local material
lightgroups for previews.
- Bug: material emit was ignored (showed in preview render backdrop)
- Bug: world exposure was ignored
- Bug: lamp halo was ignoring 'render layer light override'.
Further reshuffled the way shadows are being pre-calculated, this to enable
more advanced (and faster) usage of Material lightgroups. Now shadows are
being cached in lamps, using a per-sample counter to check if a recalc is
needed. Will also work (later) for Raytracing node shaders.
- New: Material LightGroup option "Always", which always shades the lights
in the group, independent of visibility layer. (so it allows to move such
lights to hidden layer, not influencing anything).
edges in Editmode
This bug was due to CCGDerivedMesh (the DerivedMesh backend used to store
editmode subsurf results) not copying edge flags correctly, meaning that
they were unavailable to the EdgeSplit modifier. I have updated
CCGDerivedMesh to copy edge flags correctly.
Adds a button next to the threads button to disable texture processing
in a render. If anyone doesn't like the button feel free to revert this
one, its pretty simple.

In short:
- Passes now have option to be excluded from "Combined".
- RenderLayers allow to override Light (Lamp groups) or Material.
- RenderLayers and Passes are in Outliner now, (ab)using Matt's nice
'restriction collumns'. :)
IDP_GroupIterNext returned void* rather then IDProperty*.
Made it IDProperty*.
BTW, any people out there interested in using IDProperties
from the C side, feel free to email me comments and (especially!)
file bugreports assigned to me in the tracker. :)
Outliner: the new 'restriction' options were drawn as buttons, and created
always even when not visible. Gave big slowdowns on large data sets.
Also: help lines were drawn as shorts, should be floats
Cannot fix: button coordinates are short by default still, giant outliner
data sets draw buttons in wrong location.
Did add nice feature though; on several events the outliner now is not
being re-built anymore, but redrawn only. I want to be a bit conservative
with it though... but it happens for:
- LMB drag to select items
- pageup/down, scrollwheel, mmb scroll
- search item
- show active item
- toggle selection
Makes a good difference :)
with Ton on IRC. This feature was old, something of a hack and didn't really
work well with the modifier stack. To paraphrase Ton: We want to make blender
higher quality, so poorly thought out code should be removed, or replaced
with decent implementations.
- Unitialized variable in new shadow code caused Sun lamp shadow to not
work.
- Ipo handle bug: when the handle was vertical it flipped around
- Loop select: unitialized variable caused it to work unpredictable in
cases. Also found an unitialized var in collaps_edgeuvs().
- Crash, caused by commit of 1 hour ago to fix 'All Z' render problem
- Bug: yesterday's fix for node material renders caused some issues with
precalculating correct shadow.
- Composite Translate node: input sockets allowed multiple inputs
Now it is possible to 'protect' action channels and constraint channels.
* When a channel is 'protected', the only operation possible on keyframes
is selection. All other operations are not able to be performed.
* The padlock to the right of each channel's name toggles the protection
status of that channel. You can only alter the protection status of one
channel at a time.
Todos:
* Menus still pop up when trying to do stuff to keyframes even if
all the keyframes selected are from protected channels.
* Shapekey channels shown in action editor should also get locks
