made Mesh.Get('foo') raise an error when foo dosnt exist rather then returning None (to work like other modules)
also update Metaball.Get() to be less messy - still functions the same.

updated this script (one of the most out of date)

basic workings are the same but its generaly more efficient.

The main problem was it could get the data from every object across all scenes!
This means that on framechange, every mesh would be copied into an NMesh just to see the type was a camera.

bug 5857, python 2.3 compat fix + minor changes.

==Tooltip Adjustment==

Minor tweaks to a few of the material buttons tooltips.

== Retopo ==

Fixed bug #5829, Exiting editmode with TAB key toggles RETOPO

* Moved the retopo_mode setting to ToolSettings.
* Renamed the other retopo_mode to the (more accurate) retopo_paint_tool

Removed an unneeded struct declaration committed by mistake in joeedh's
Displace modifier fix.

== Multires ==

Fixed bug #5820, changing multires in edit mode turns the mesh black

* Added a call to recalc_editnormals when building an editmesh from a multires mesh.

Fix for a segfault in the new Displace modifier UV layer selection code:
If the "UV" texture coordinate option is selected while no UV layers exist,
the UV layer name in the modifier is blank. This is not a problem while no UV
layers exist, but if a UV layer is added the modifier code attempts to use
UV coordinates without handling the missing layer name correctly, leading to a
segfault. This only occurs when the modifier stack is recalculated before a
modifier UI redraw, as the UI redraw updates the layer name.

This fix handles a missing UV layer name by setting it to the active UV layer.

Two fixes:

- when rendering a scene, all composite trees of other trees should get
signalled the render output changed. This only happened with a composite
active in render.

- the Mix node "A" option only works in Composite, as accidentally visible
for shader trees.

minor tweaks from testing scripts. correction in my last commit.

Updated docs not to use Object.New() in examples, use scn.objects.*

Bugfix from ZanQdo, MOT files wouldent load in lightwave. also made some minor improvements.

== Multires ==

* Switching levels in editmode should flush selection changes so that face selection is drawn correctly.

=Displace modifier fix=

This commit fixes displace modifier to propery support arbitrary uv
layers. This seemed like a fairly big usability bug,
as displace modifiers would use the active UV layer (and thus could change when
you changed the active layer). The modifier UI code now uses a menu for browsing
the uv layers, however only the uv layer name is actually stored, so that
adding/deleting layers won't mess up displace modifiers.

Whenever a displace modifier has an invalid UV name (for whatever reason) the
UV name is set to the active layer. This is checked both in the UI code and
in the modifier exec code, so all bases are covered. For deleting a layer, this
required upgrading the layer delete code in the UI to properly preserve the
active layer, to prevent unwanted behaviour. I hope this is an ok solution.

Brecht, Ben you might want to look over and make sure I didn't break anything. I don't
think I did, I tested as thouroughly as I could.

Bugfix for render baking: preserve AO and Ray trace settings when doing
Ambient Occlusion, and check that world is enabled.

Bugfix (own collection)

Composite: some cases gave memory errors (not freed mem).
The code that tried to be smart in finding nodes to skip, caused that
stack buffers were not freed propertly.

== Interface ==

* Cleaned up the sculpt and multires palettes a bit to make them work correctly with the Rounded theme.
* Moved the DelLower/DelHigher buttons above the Level slider; necessary for some reason to render the rounded corners correctly.

One error is still visible, the Size slider in the Sculpt palette has an incorrectly-rounded corner below the Airbrush button, no idea why.

added edge split access to modifiers API
Also renamed Type to Types to match with the rest of the API. Type is still there but removed from docs.

Bugfix #5827

Preview render in buttons was not refreshed when changes in a material
happened, without preview visible. (like editbuttons, active mat index).

Now on re-entering material buttons, a re-render happens in these cases.

=FSAA fix=

This commit gets rid of the #ifdef WIN32 I did for the FSAA code.
However it still manually defines the constant (if it's not already defined)
for FSAA, as I'm not sure which platforms have glext.h and I don't want to risk
breaking platforms before release.

Second part of blur-node fix to accept x and y offsets in images passed
from translate node. Once again courtesy of joeedh (Joe Eagar). Should be
noted that there are other nodes which seem not to respect these offsets
as well. Will investigate further.
