Added a small menu with a few helper oerators next to each group panel:
* Remove group from all objects
* Select objects in group
More could be added possibly in the future.
Thanks to Campbell for the advice here.
This is related to Task T34861 to increase up & track axis options for TrackTo actuator. I've just added it to differential to facilitate an easier review.
With the patch applied you can select X, Y and Z axis for the Up axis, and X, Y, Z, -X, -Y and -Z for the track axis.
Related to the implementation I have used the algorithm from Trackto constrain placed in constrain.c but adapted to be used with MOTO library.
The wiki docs are here (http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:Lordloki/Doc:2.6/Manual/Game_Engine/Logic/Actuators/Edit_Object#Trackto_Actuator).
Test file is here: {F97623}
I have also uploaded 2 screenshots showing the UI modifications to the TrackTo actuator:

as duplicators.
This property was always hidden in the UI for empties and cameras. It
doesn't make sense for the objects themselves (they are wires-only), but
also gets inherited by duplis. Now show it greyed out if not used, but
make it available for duplicators.
Levels of detail can be added and modified in the object panel. The object
panel also contains new tools for generating levels of detail, setting up
levels of detail based on object names (useful for importing), and
clearing an object's level of detail settings. This is meant as a game
engine feature, though the level of details settings can be previewed in
the viewport.

Notes:
* Made those edits by full checking of py files, so I should have spoted most needed edits, yet it remains quite probable I missed a few ones, we'll fix if/when someone notice it...
* Also made some cleanup "on the road"!
Cody style changes for r58692.
* First of all, UI code is really simple, especially in such small panels, no need to comment obvious things like left/right column.
* "if 1" nested structs for code clarity? That's a really bad thing, especially if you have 3 lines which belong together, but only 2 of them are indented...
sub = row.row()
sub.active = obj.show_bounds
sub.prop(obj, "draw_bounds_type", text="")
* Empty line after layout = self.layout declarations, we still follow these Rules.

Thanks!
Previously, the "Add to Group" button would show an empty search popup when there were no existing groups. While this does mean that the button behaves differently at different times, this way is more streamlined and should be less confusing than seeing an empty search popup or a greyed out "add to group" button or a "+" button which jumps around in different situations.
Many depsgraph failures are because some data in the graph is being
recalculated too early (or not at all).
Since we better support animators with working renders, here's a hack to
allow manual additional updates on frame changes.
In Property Editor, Object, Panel "Relations Extra" you now have two
buttons:
- Extra Object Update
- Extra Data Update
This will do an extra update of object and/or its data ONLY on frame changes.
Update happens as last.
Tested on files collected in Wiki todo, several cases now work OK, especially
the lags on updates.
* Code cleanup, removed unneeded code.
* Style cleanup, don't break lines to early
(unless marked as pep8-80 or pep8-120 compliant)
* Keep 1 line after layout declaration empty.
This commit refactors the way that the Motion Paths GUI works. The key problems
this tries to address are:
1) Mode error - Confusion about whether we're dealing with the Object or Pose
level Motion Paths panel
2) Display settings vs Baking Settings
In line with the original design intentions for the 2.5/6 Properties Editor,
I've now split out the actual baking-related settings away from the Properties
Editor:
* Now, when clicking "Calculate Paths" from the toolbar, you'll be prompted with
a dialog to select the start/end frames (and for bones, whether to bake from
heads or tails). This is less confusing than relying on firstly setting the
range via the display range settings (and baking using that), since many people
apparently only used the "around current" mode, and were confused why things
weren't working
* Added a display of the frame ranges of the current baked Motion Path on the
active Object/Bone. This makes it clearer/easier to debug if the path suddenly
starts disappearing after a certain frame.
* Replaced Calculate/Clear Paths in the panels with a single "Update" button if
there's already a baked Motion Path.
Hopefully these changes (in combination with some of the other bugfixes) will
make it more obvious how everything works.
Previously it used to use cursor location from time when panel was drawn,
which in some cases lead to using previous cursor location instead of current.
This commit:
* Removes the Wire and Color options from the UI for all object types but meshes, curves/surfaces/texts, and metas.
* Adds a basic bounding box drawing (and computing) for armatures.
incompatible, and unmaintainable Time Offset cruft.
- Slow Parenting lives another day (just), although it now carries
appropriate cautionary disclaimers. It's only really for the Game
Engine nowadays, as that's the only place where it can possibly work
with any reliability.
- "Animation Hacks" panel is now "Relations Extras". I could've merged
the two panels, though I figured these options weren't that frequently
used to justify taking up screen-space by default along with the panel
- Make gettext stuff draw-time. so switching between languages
can happens without restart now.
- Added option to translate visible interface (menus, buttons, labels)
and tooltips. Now it's possible to have english UI and localized tooltips.
- Clean-up sources, do not use gettext stuff for things which can be
collected with RNA.
- Fix issues with windows 64bit and ru_RU locale on my desktop
(it was codepage issue).
- Added operator "Get Messages" which generates new text block with
with all strings collected from RNA.
- Changed script for updating blender.pot so now it appends
messages collected from rna to automatically gathered messages.
To update .pot you have to re-generate messages.txt using "Get Messages"
operator and then run update_pot script.
- Clean up old translation stuff which wasn't used and most probably
wouldn't be used.
- Return back "International Fonts" option, so if it's disabled, no
gettext lookups happens on draw.
- Merged read_homefile function back. No need in splitting it.
TODO:
- Custom fonts and font size.
Current font isn't nice at least for russian locale, it's
difficult to read it.
- Put references to messages.txt so gettext can merge translation when
name/description of some property changes.
- Assigning local materials to library objects disabled
(crashes on undo/redo cases)
- Disabling options in Material buttons to add/remove slots
on library data
- Drawing Object ID template in Object properties, this
allows browse active Object, but especially shows library
status then.
