Basic Alembic integration in the Cycles standalone. This adds Alembic to the standalone application version of cycles. Files can be specified as XML or Alembic, or use automatic detection based on the filename extension. Currently the Alembic reader just dumps the file structure to stdout as a test. |

Use dupli overrides also for the selection drawing code. Now clicking a cached dupli instance also selects the duplicator object as expected. |

Avoid conflicting unordered_map definition in cycles by using a general include path instead of the boost one. For explanation see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3973659/c-unordered-map-compiling-issue-with-g |

Take cache library items into account when baking caches. This means we don't bluntly store all the data in a group, but use the selection from the cache library. It also helps to avoid issues with object visibility which is not yet stored in the cache. |

Simple inclusion of alembic files from inside xml files for cycles standalone. The cycles XML files now can refer to Alembic (.abc) files. This will call the default alembic reader to read in scene data. Currently it simply prints the Alembic file structure. Eventually a proper schema needs to be defined for both xml and abc. Also care has to be taken to handle potential conflicts between settings both within xml/abc and between them. |

Use dupli cache in bounding box calculations involving duplis. This feature is mostly useful for the "view selected" operator. It is also used in the "set origin to geometry" operator, but since the cache overrides the object geometry anyway the effect may not be what users expect (which is acceptable). |

Simple mesh import from Alembic files in Cycles standalone. Note that Cycles currently only supports tessellated triangle/quad meshes. Alembic PolyMesh generally has ngons, so external tessellation is required until cycles gets a proper tessellation implementation of its own. |

Fix for corruption of the item hash table in cache libraries on copy. |

Use the temporary 'is_dupli' flag to prevent objects from freeing overriden data that is owned by the cache. This is not at all nice ... Hopefully it doesn't get too complicated to work around all these drawing code and depsgraph issues, so the code can be understood and replaced at some point in the future. |

Allow cache libraries to store both render and realtime (viewport) data. This is the default now. It should make workflow a lot more foolproof and convenient, since having only one of these modes active at a time very easily leads to broken renders and confusing situations. The problem is mostly due to the complicated way the depsgraph layer feature is used to handle duplicator visibility. The duplicator is declared as a child of its group's objects (even though no real dependency exists!), so that a visible duplicator triggers updates of invisible group objects, making instances of hidden groups possible. However, dupli caches have to disable this dependency in order to avoid unnecessary costly updates in hidden layers which are overridden by cached data anyway. At the point where these dependencies are created the evaluation context is unknown though, which means we cannot distinguish between render and realtime evaluation for the purpose of cache reading ... |

Combined storage of render and realtime data in caches. Caches now create 2 new roots below the main 'top' object of Alembic: root and root_render for realtime and render data respectively. This makes it easy to switch the whole archive to either of the modes during baking and for constructing dupli caches. Alternatively individual objects could store hires versions of their data. This would also be more efficient if the cache contains many simple objects which don't have 2 different variants. However, such design decisions are difficult to make at this point and the implementation can be modifier later. |

Fully reset the OB_FROM_DUPLI flag for each dupli instance, in case later duplis can not be found in the cache. |
