Blender Git Commits

As discussed in meeting, fixed another missing Python symbol from
python.def and upped Python version to 2.4. This means that Cygwin/GCC will
now be building Python 2.4 binaries. Thanks all!

Finishing touch for hair strand shadows;

- raytracing code now uses cylinder-line intersect for strands. It used
to intersect with the screen-aligned strand quads, giving too many
misses for tracing.
Note; mirror for hair is still not well supported!

- added in Materials a choice for whether a material is Traceable for
raytracing or whether it is part of Shadow buffers. This way you can
exclude hair strands from raytracing, but still get shadowbuffers for it.

-- Change to make blender with game engine disabled build without errors
on 64-bit machines.

This code only seems to be used by the game engine anyway; maybe it's
only linux which always compiles it regardless of whether game engine is
enabled?

patch #3475 for bug #2867 Object.makeParent with noninverse doesn't clear parentinv matrix

Contributed by Stephane SOPPERA (soppera). Thanks!

-- correct typo in "Fields and Deflection" panel name

Bugfix #3471

- Editmode Mesh: after a split command, normals were not recalculated

ALso: in Particle buttons, made the "Tex" button go to the maximum of 10
channels.

Increased maximum limit for Ztransp render to allow 1000 faces in a single
pixel (was 200), this to prevent occasional errors with extreme haircuts!

Bugfix #3463

Very ancient bug in boxfilter for image texture popped up with new code
for correct bumpmapping. Caused texture type "Extend" not to work when
using for bump.

UV_Export rounding error fixed by Macouno (from elysiun).
Also standardized some indenting and export to black lines instead of red.

Buttonswindow: Fkey cycling bug, accessing OBACT without checking it OK.
Caused crash on pressing F6,F5 after deleting object (thanks DJC!)

Hairstrand render bug; using Orco could give errors... the orco pointers
for some hair vertices were not initialized OK.

Added three more cases for allowing to create a new quad (Fkey), based on
inverting the checked triangle diagonal.
Noticed issues while modeling subsurfs yesterday, in that case you can
really be less strict.

Four mirrored Weight Paint improvement/fixes:

- If the mirrored group doesn't exist yet, it creates that group now.
- Painting on any non-mirror group (not a name complying mirror rules), it
will now paint mirrored on the group itself.
- The Mesh octree for mirror painting was not created on loading a file
in WeightPaint mode, or on exiting Editmode for Mesh. This caused mirror
painting to not work always.
- Tweaked the threshold calculation for vertices, so it gives fewer misses.

patch #2869 MTex module additions
contributed by Yehoshua Sapir (sapir)

adds attributes to MTex module. adds module constants.
Uses new style tp_getset.

test if merging with bf-blender works for Orange branch.

Small fix: after rendering particles, the "disp" amount was not correctly
put back to not 100% (if set).

* Tweaked the logic of the Fkey button cycling to make it a bit smarter

* Removed the OK? popups from extruding curve CPs.

Bugfix (tracker #3456, elysiun forum).

The new colorband code still had floating point issue... how much a
< or <= can differ eh!

Using the "Lock" option in IpoWindow didn't update for Materials or Camera
Ipos.
