Fixed another oldie; when loading file the totals counter (as displayed in
info header) didn't update. Also removed convention it counts from active
window-layer, now it uses scene layer.

Little feat request: the rendertime disappeared from header after a
rendering; now it's a permanent part of it.

added a new function to the World module : GetActive(), which returns the world associated to the scene, or None if no such world exists

- Scripts:
small update of ideasman's obj import/export scripts (added support for smooth faces)

Report #1391

The work i did end of may on render normals (displacemap especially)
caused refraction code to work wrong... took a while to find out, but
just removed a couple of lines too much.
Added clear comment there what it is, and what danger of removing is!

Report #1376

Rayshadow didn't use lamp option 'layer' correctly. Objects not in
lamp-layer now also don't get shadows (nor light).

Fix: creating a Mesh primitive UV Sphere, used a remove doubles to get
rid of the seam (it's a Spin command!). The threshold value for remove
was set on 0.01, giving too easy errors. Now its 0.0001

- Scripts:
Campbell Barton updated his Wavefront OBJ scripts and Ben Omari updated his DirectX 7 and 8 ones (thanks both). The other listed scripts had minor updates to accomodate the menu changes.
- Scripts in menus:
renamed Tools to Object, Generators to Add, and Modifiers to Mesh (Metaball, Curve, Surface can be added later), to integrate better in the interface.
- Fixed a bug in Blender.sys.makename: last letter of file extension was being cut out.

These are changes sent by Luis_F who got this working on win32. Only applies
to that platform and fixes a problem findind yafray dll's

Bug fix 1326

When changing subsurf level, in shaded mode, and with Mesh that has more
users... the shaded displist of the other meshes are corrupt, potentially
causing crash.

And: small improvement in select-outline: when drawtype-extra Wire is set,
it skips it. Not needed, looked a bit ugly.

Fixed error in previous commit, that skipped drawing non-basis Mballs.
Thanks Jiri for pointing me to it!

New: removed frontbuffer draw of selected object for solid/shaded mode.
It serves no purpose anymore.

Tooltips:

- lowered tooltip-update delay loop to 0.02 sec (was 0.05), which showed
up 'trails' while going over pulldowns with tooltips
- changed tooltip calculation for size, it was drawing the labels far too
large (height). Made sure text prints in middle too.
- by default tooltips print 12 pixels below button now

Popular request: the floating panels (NKEY) now close on a 2nd NKEY command.
This for all current NKEY menus by default. Can be standard for each hotkey
controlled Panel from now on; use toggle_blockhandler() for it.

Another popular request: hotkey enabled Panels now optionally reopen on
the previous location, instead of under mouse. This option "Pinned" is a
user option now. Optional for later; have it as per-panel option... dunno!

The last request, close on mouse-exit, won't be implemented, this intrudes
with Panel consistancy, and is pretty OK solved with NKEY-NKEY now.

- added Font object to have outlines on Solid draw + selection
- Font object didn't support draw xtra wire yet
- removed drawing the circles from MBall object, except in editmode
- little cleanup in draw_object() call, it had a weird exception for
mball drawing

added a new Sequence Effect: Sweep.
this consists of 22 different ways to sweep from 1 strip to another. For you windows lovers: it's like "Blinds" in Powerpoint :)
- in the NKEY menu you can choose which type you want perform, vertical, horizontal, in/out etc. it's too much to decribe.

Credits for this go to Kent 'Sirdude" Mein who coded the sequence plugin I stole the code from.

To allow certain sequence effects to have settings, I also added a "varstr" void pointer to the Sequence DNA, that can point to a special struct for each effect. This is similar to how plugins are handles.

more neat effects to come....

I thought I added this include path for yafray to the msvc files already......o well, here it is again. it couldn't find RE-callbacks.h

This patch makes the vertex loop select tool only select edges which are part of 2 faces, this cleans up some incorrect selections the tool was making around areas in the mesh where faces had been deleted.

closes bug 1343

This is a bandaid for a logic error in select_vertex_loop() that prevents an infinite loop in some cases. A fix for the logic error will come when I find the error :)

Added the possibillity of naming sequence strips in the sequence editor. previously this was not possible for all types.
- Change the name of a strip in the NKEY menu of the strip.
- If a strip HAS a name, it will be displayed in the strip, instead of all that garbage that was previously there (image locations, lengths, whatever)

Still TODO: while adding new effects to the sequencer I will also add this for effect strips. at the moment it's not clear yet what should go in the NKEY menu.

Scene.c: added missing code to copy base to object flag
Drawobject.c: added wireframe outline for selected solid objects. needs
some feedback though, at my system it is quite slow.
