Handle OpenEXR exception and print it, for writeTile. It's sometimes
crashing there now with FSA, if it crashes again this should give
more info.

== Sequencer ==

Fixed two issues with the sequencer:
* using blend modes with startstill / endstill in combination with IPOs
failed, since there was no room to store the composited result.
(It was stored into the same TStripElem thereby effectively disabling the
effect of the IPO)
If you have no idea, what this is all about:
A common case was: use a single PNG as a title, extrude and try to fade
in / out using IPOs.
* startstill / endstill are always displayed, so that one can change them
also on movie-strips and scene-strips.

object in dupli instances were not getting modifiers applied with render settings

Strands now mix together correctly with ZTransp.

They now also store a list of samples per pixel, and then get
shaded together with the ztransp samples. This comes with a
slight speed hit, but mainly memory might be a concern. However,
testing some peach scenes I haven't problems.

New rendering option: FSA!

This completes the pipeline make-over, as started in 2006. With this
option, during rendering, each sample for every layer and pass is being
saved on disk (looks like non-antialiased images). Then the composite
and color correction happens, then a clip to 0-1 range, and only in end
all samples get combined - using sampling filters such as gauss/mitch/catmul.

This results in artefact-free antialiased images. Even Z-combine or
ID masks now work perfect for it!

This is an unfinished commit btw; Brecht will finish this for strands.
Also Halo doesnt work yet.

To activate FSA: press "Save Buffers" and the new button next to it. :)

== Action Editor - Overlapping Keyframes Bugfix ==

Now when moving keyframes in the Action Editor, any existing keyframes on the frames where a selected keyframe lands (after the transform) will be removed. This is to prevent stacks of keyframes which cause blips and headaches for animators (especially stressed animators with a looming deadline).

I've added an option to the Action Editor's View menu to turn this behaviour on/off (by default, it's on). This shouldn't need to be used too much, and may be removed in due course. If it stays, it'll need a better name...

tooltips for some dual toggle buttons as well as tooltips from wim van hoydonck ([#8166] [python-scripts] fix for tooltips of torus primitive + newline)

fixing typo in tool tips

Fix syntax error in earlier commit.

=== Custom Orientations ===

Change selection icon in the panel to the more appropriate Checkbox icon.

typo in text

== Automatic Bone Extension Adder ==

Added three new tools to the WKEY menu for Armatures in EditMode/PoseMode. These add .* extensions to the names of selected bones based on their position in 3d-space on the axis considered by that tool.

The current naming schemes are based upon the extensions I normally apply. Some people may have slightly different preferences though.

There is one for:
* Left-Right names (along x-axis)
* Front-Back names (along y-axis)
* Top-Bottom names (along z-axis)

some bugs with previous renderlayer api

script to save renderlayers to a file so you can load them in other blend's - useful when applying settings in a pipeline (andy tells me ;) )

renderLayer access for the render api, no epydocs yet

=== Custom Transform Orientation ===

Adding the possibility to use 2 or 3 vertice to define an edge or face-like orientation.
Adding the possibility to use 2 connected edges to define a face-like orientation.

Cursor to Active, adding missing redraw call.

=== Snap Menu ===

New Cursor-> Active option

Useful on Edit Mesh too!

VertexGroup Editing:

Added a new option to the "Vertex Groups" menu: "Remove Selected from All Groups". This menu can be accessed using Ctrl-G in EditMode for Meshes and Lattices.

Bugfix:

Previous changes for Constraint Up/Down buttons broke the drawing of some constraints. It seems the lack of any buttons within an pair of uiBeginBlockAlign() and uiEndBlockAlign() caused problems.
