*armature api for python
- don't get too excited
- allows you to get armatures from a scene
- makeEditable()/saveChanges() puts the armature into out of editmode (pythonically)
- Armature.bones is a dictionary that contains all the bones in the armature and can be iterated
- getters are available for:
name,
roll (dictionary) keys are BONESPACE, ARMATURESPACE
head (dictionary) keys are BONESPACE, ARMATURESPACE
tail (dictionary) keys are BONESPACE, ARMATURESPACE
matrix (dictionary) keys are BONESPACE, ARMATURESPACE
weight
deform_dist
subdivisions
options (list of constants)
parent
children

Setter work only in editmode. Some are not fully implemented.
Type class is embedded in the module. This means the construct is called as follows:
Blender.Armature.ArmatureType()

import Blender.Armature as Armature
arm = Armature.Get('myarm')
for name, bone in arm.bones.items():
...print name, bone, bone.matrix['ARMATURESPACE']

more documentation is forth coming. This is an alpha for this api.

*change to the way constants are printed

- warning fixes
* various warnings the python api is putting out

First part of sequencer attack:

Sequencer image preview finally supports zooming out. Yay!

-- Clean-up of Effect and Particle modules; since particle was the only
remaining effect type, it didn't make much sense to leave things
implemented in two separate files. Changes include:
* two bug fixes (the getChild() and getMat() methods were using floats
instead of shorts)
* performing clamping on input values
* implementing attributes using tp_getset
* merging Effect and Particle functions: the Particle module exists in
name only, with the Particle.New() and Particle.Get() functions
remaining for backward compatibility (they are in fact identical to
Effect.New() and Effect.Get() functions)
* update of doc/Effect.py (including remove all old references to wave
and build effects)

-- Added Object.effects, a read-only attribute which returns a list of the
particle effects belonging to an object (based on patch from jms)

Bugfix #3358

Deleting a shape key object could crash, when ipowindow open and showing an
active key.

Also: patch from tracker to increase limits of buttons for background image
offset.

minor cleanup. Todo: Does 'testhandles' need to be called after every single ipo_insert_vert ?

Small fix to allow relative filenames for textfiles.

I seem to have problems with the distinction between else and #else today.

My apologies!

Modifier fix; new Armature modifier added sets the deform flags on.

(Note; until 2.40 release, these flags are also still in the Armature
Panel, that will disappear then)

Another typo in ALT+C convert modifiers; it was copying data from the
wrong object, which worked until a few days ago when I fixed a bug
in add_object(). :)

Bugfix #3249

Error in BLI_array_randomize(), an unused call in Blender until the
Build Modifier was added. It did a weird modulus I don't really grasp...
somehow that caused the bug (create a corrupt mesh). But why? Dunno...

Use limits.h and float.h on *bsd instead of values.h.

On this subject (and thanks to GSR for research) on debian the
values.h has the following warning:

/* This interface is obsolete. New programs should use
<limits.h> and/or <float.h> instead of <values.h>. */

Should values.h be used at all?

Bugfix #3342

Target-less IK, with a hinge bone that has an offset to its parent, didn't
get applied correctly after transform.

* 3D View menus updates. mainly just adding missing functionality
that only had hotkey access before and tweaking organisation of new stuff.

Bugfix #3237

Selecting Edges in "Cut Away View" (ALT+B) did not work yet for wire view.
Solved it by calculating the closest coordinate for mouse to edge, and
check for that position if it's visible or not.

I think I committed something I shouldn't have. Hopefully
this will fix compilation.

Fix #3256

DXF: when an error message occurs during read, the main call returned
without clearing the used global vars... causing crash on calling again.

ALso: added warning when trying to assign a taper or bevel using Object
itself. (report from opengl tracker :)

* Buttons window tab cycling
Repeated presses of the F* key to go to a buttons context will
now cycle through the sub-tabs within. For example, when at
a different buttons window context, pressing F7 twice will cycle
through to the Physics buttons tab, pressing F10 three times
will cycle through to the Sound buttons tab, etc.
