* Fix missing update when editing objects with emission materials.
* Fix preview pass rendering set to 1 not showing full resolution.
* Fix CUDA runtime compiling failing due to missing cache directory.
* Use settings from first render layer for visibility and material override.
And a bunch of incomplete and still disabled code mostly related to closure
sampling.
* Show Rendered Viewport Shading only when the engine supports it.
Only enabled for Cycles now.
* Added RenderEngine flag RE_DO_RENDERED, which is an optional flag.
Exposed as bl_use_rendered in Python.
ToDo: When you are in Rendered mode and change to a engine which does not support it, the enum doesn't set properly to OB_SOLID.
* OpenCL now only uses GPU/Accelerator devices, it's only confusing if CPU
device is used, easy to enable in the code for debugging.
* OpenCL kernel binaries are now cached for faster startup after the first
time compiling.
* CUDA kernels can now be compiled and cached at runtime if the CUDA toolkit
is installed. This means that even if the build does not have CUDA enabled,
it's still possible to use it as long as you install the toolkit.
* Compute MD5 hash to deal with nvidia opencl compiler cache not recognizing
changes in #included files, makes it possible to do kernel compile only
once and remember it for the next time blender is started.
* Kernel tweak to compile with ATI/linux. Enabling any more functionality than
simple clay render still chokes the compiler though, without a specific error
message ..
* Fix crash in light path node
* Fix struct alignment issue for cuda
* Fix issue with instances taking up too much memory
* Fix issue with ray visibility working incorrect on some objects
* Enable OpenCL always and remove option, it has no dependencies so may as well
* Refuse to load kernel if OpenCL version < 1.1, recent drivers are needed
* Better error handling for OpenCL device
* 3D views with rendered draw mode will now revert to wireframe on file load
* Add max diffuse/glossy/transmission bounces
* Add separate min/max for transparent depth
* Updated/added some presets that use these options
* Add ray visibility options for objects, to hide them from
camera/diffuse/glossy/transmission/shadow rays
* Is singular ray output for light path node
Details here:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:2.5/Source/Render/Cycles/LightPaths
* Add alpha pass output, to use set Transparent option in Film panel.
* Add Holdout closure (OSL terminology), this is like the Sky option in the
internal renderer, objects with this closure show the background / zero
alpha.
* Add option to use Gaussian instead of Box pixel filter in the UI.
* Remove camera response curves for now, they don't really belong here in
the pipeline, should be moved to compositor.
* Output full float values for rendering now, previously was only byte precision.
* Add a patch from Thomas to get a preview passes option, but still disabled
because it isn't quite working right yet.
* CUDA: don't compile shader graph evaluation inline.
* Convert tabs to spaces in python files.
* auto/fixed threads option is used now, patch by Thomas.
* remove unused CUDA_LIBRARIES, library is dynamically loaded
* fix mesh XML export operator for API update
* add some (disabled) test code for using OpenImageIO in imbuf
* link cycles, openimageio and boost into blender instead of a shared library
* some cmakefile changes to simplify the code and follow conventions better
* this may solve running cycles problems on windows XP, or give a different
and hopefully more useful error message
* kernel has shading nodes / textures disabled, amd/nvidia opencl
compilers choke on these, need to figure out how to avoid this
* works in cycles_test, not available as option in blender yet
* kernel compiles and runs with opencl 1.1 from intel/amd/nvidia
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:2.5/Source/Render/TextureWorkflow
* Added "active texture node" in shading node trees.
* Texture draw mode draw active texture node now, and new Material draw
mode shows GLSL material.
* GLSL materials now match solid draw mode lighting better.
* Texture properties can now texture nodes from material/world/lamp.
