* Widened the tooltips when using non-AA fonts, so there's a margin between the top of the tooltip and the ascender.

* Replaced crappy close icon (that always got distorted) with an OpenGL drawn X. Can someone with a graphics card that supports AA lines please check that this looks ok, since mine doesn't :(

* Minor tweaks to panel shading/colours

* Reverted to an older method of drawing button outlines (previous caused a stupid 'building up' effect from transparent lines being repeatedly drawn over the top of each other). This causes minor problems elsewhere, but it's less troublesome overall, for now - hopefully a proper solution can be found in the future.

Fixed a couple of explicit references to .blender made them $(CONFDIR)
instead. Also moved the creation of $(CONFDIR) up so that it
gets created before dumping files into it. There is still one
extra reference to .blender for osX but I wasn't sure what was going on
so I left it. It really should be "fixed" though.

(re)added pulldown menu to select physics. Both the menu and the gravity
slider are only enabled if GAMEBLENDER is set to 1

- updated "make release" for windows to include new python files.
- updated win32 installer script.

My beautification of the behemoth do_all_actions() broke NLA blend in/out
... I don't have time to find a fix before the release so I'll just revert
the code.

Gi power behaviour changed so it's exported as a multiplier for the emit
component of the materials, background color, and dummy arealights. Hemi/Path
power is kept 1.0 now. Also changed the range for power to [0-100]

Thanks to Li Jun (oyster), here's a Simplified Chinese translation for Blender's interface.

BPython - two small fixes:
-- search/remove 'r' from string buffers read from scripts:
used a fast way: change each 'r' to a space, since it should
work for scripts and the buffer is only needed for a short while.
-- added call to clear error indicator before running a script.
A previous script may set it even on succesful returns.

As reported by Hiroshi Saito, M_1_PI apparently not recognized in VC6, removed it.

Armature related fixes and cleanups:

* Armatures that had constraint targets inside other armatures
weren't transform()-ing correctly

* Issues with lattice deformed objects that are parents of bones
when rendering an animation. Seems to be mostly OK now with the
exception of the first rendered frame -- weird bugs like this have
plagued blender for ages, which leads me to believe that
RE_rotateBlenderScene() is a piece of garbage that nobody understands
(especially me).

* made a few helper functions to clean up some repeated code related
to clearing constraint status and rebuilding displists.

On request of broken, monkeyboi and others the rendering engine menu is back again.
The menu button was also moved to the render panel, this required some changes to the placement of the other buttons.
I hope this is no problem...

Made select more, select less, and select non-manifold more aware of
hidden verts.

BPython:
- as proposed by Ton, default dir for menu enabled scripts is:
userhome/.blender/scripts if available or (using bprogname -- argv[0]),
blenderInstallationDir/.blender/scripts/ otherwise.
- moved a piece of code from BPY_interface.c to BPY_menus.c to get rid
of a linkage warning reported by J. Walton
-- added the first scripts to release/scripts:

We need time to get more scripts there, but the situation should improve
consistently from now on. Adding three export scripts: cal3d, directX, ac3d.
And one import: ac3d.

Here's Frank´s (José Silva) tiny contribution to Blender´s community,
a translation of Blender's interface to Brazilian Portuguese.

Thanks for posting ;)

fixed problem with ray button and shadow rendering
Blender 'sphere' mode lights in yafray should now have more similar light levels
render shadow button in Blender must now be enabled to render shadows in yafray too
some other minor shadow related corrections

- added line as provided by Bill Baxter, which makes option "no numpad"
accept the minuskey for numerical input while transform().

Fixed nasty #include.

Fixed behaviour of cyclic anim textures.

Note: the Fie/Ima (fields per rendered image) functionality is still broken.
