Bugfix for incorrect unwrapping of some triangle shaped quads;
Triangulation of these quads could lead to degenerate triangles, resulting
in UV's in random places. Now quads are automatically triangulated in the
best direction.

This bug was reported by Tim Fisher (thanks!).

** Note: two new files added, projectfiles will need an update.

Scripts:
Campbell Barton (Ideasman, thanks) updated his Wavefront OBJ importer.
BPython:
- Finally committed pending contributions:
Chris Keith wrote the Blender.Sound module -- still some testing to do this week;
Joseph (joeedh) added the OnLoad scene script event;
Satish Goda added 6 GLU functions to Blender.BGL. Great additions, thanks all!
- Small changes to Blender.Load (leave editmode as Blender wants) and Window.EditMode (allow definition of "undo string");
- Fixed bug #1539: Window.RedrawAll() crashed Blender if an empty spacescript was available while using it in a gui-less script.
- doc updates.

Objects will be autoselected on Append. There's a button to toggle this behaviour, by default it's enabled.

Feature requested by Bastian Salmela.

Renamed get_constraint_target in constraint kernel file to get_constraint_target_matrix since that's what it really does
Moved get_con_target from editconstraint to constraint kernel file and renamed to get_constraint_target

Make scene.c use constraint functions from kernel instead of doing the switch itself (regrouping specific constraint code in one file).

Add LockTrack as an option in the Make Track menu (Ctrl-T)

Adding fun for vortex forces in 3D window, the representation now match the orientation and direction of the force (this is code will need optimisation). I'll probably be slapped for mixing two things in one commit but some function calls needed to be fixed for the new spelling and since this is really isolated code I didn't feel like wasting time getting a fresh copy, doing the changes and then readded this after commiting.

Fixed some warning regarding implicit casts and constants (this last one is a MSVCism where you need to explicitely tell the compiler to use floats with an f. AFAIK, it doesn't affect/bother other compilers).

Removed a useless commented piece of code in readfile (there was an uncommented copy a couple of lines before)

Theodore Schundler's patches to add FreeBSD support to the scons build
system.

Fix two problems in my code as reported on Forums and in release article thread on frontpage:

* Quaternion action ipos accidently got swapped in the Ipo module
* Ipos not editable if not linked to a datablock (was possible in 2.33a)

Also fixed a typo in Object.getMatrix(): localespace -> localspace

And I add:

* channels Key 32 through Key 63 for relative vertex keys

Fixed bug discovered by dotblend, parented empty's were mistakenly
included in the duplicate objects list.
Added support for spherelight 'dummy' mode when used with global photonmap.
It now behaves the same as arealight when used with gpm.

Clear the Python error flag between 'overloaded' Python methods.

Fix blenderplayer command line option parsing.
Fix stereo rendering in vertex array mode. Added sidebyside & anaglyph stereo modes.

Fix for #1509

Running the system info script with a text window (empty) open caused dereferencing of a null-pointer with obviously unwanted results.

Catching the possible situation before it happens.

Fix typo in documentation

Small tweak to the colour picker - make the palette
buttons rectangular, even in the rounded theme

typo in view3d menus; Warp should be shift+w, not ctrl+w

Little showstopper; the fix for enabling typing (3d) text in 3d window
with 'emulate numpad' disabled plus/minus hotkey in imagewindow for zoom.

Added it also for oops. More problems with it for other spaces makes it
important te review for next release. But this is for people who use
laptops or minimalistic keyboards... :)

Fix for crash in select_parent() - check for OBACT

Thanks to Campbell for the last minute report!

Slightly improved clipping of rgb colors in HSV picker, to prevent the Hue
slider in bottom to block on colors 0,0,0 or 1,1,1

This is not scientific yet, but could be released :)

This commit prepares for 2.34:

* LarstiQ patched SConstruct to have it name tarballs and zips better for 'scons release'
* bump version numbers to 234
* added splash.jpg and datatoc'ed version
* add release notes

People can now do still some final tests. Can you feel the heat?

pidhash noticed some discrepancies in the bpy doc between getMode(), getFlag(),
getType() and their associated setters. I changed the doc to match the
implementation.

Also did a little spellcheck.

updated docs

Fix for some bad code that MSVC choked on. Thanks
jesterking for pointing it out, I think I'd better go sleep
or something...
