We're entering 2.71rc state now

Meaning we do subversion bump and hopefully only splash
screen separates us from the final release. Unless some
bad regression is being discovered..

Quiet double promotion warning & ws edit

Fix crash running in background mode

Fix Bevel bug T39746, small scale gives flat profile.

With very small meshes or very small bevel amounts, the bevel
profile would be flat even if a round one was requested.
Problem was that the code was checking the length of a cross
product for closeness to zero to test coplanarity. Needed
to normalize things before making that test to account for scale.

UI: correct __contains__ use, no need for substring check

Fix T40559: Maya keymap node selection bug

Fix T40582: issues with apply scale when having multires and scene simplify

Reshape and applying scale matrix on multires needs to create DM with simplify
setting disabled. Added a special flag to modifier apply for this now.

Bake-API: Set Custom Cage to be Cage Object

Suggestion by Andy Davies (metalliandy) to conform with industry standard (custom cage is something else apparently)

Note: this is the last bake related commit I plan for 2.71/rc (unless
everyone agrees that we could squeeze in D546 - custom UVs, which would
be really nice to add for 2.71 scripters)

Note 2: I'll update the wiki docs shortly

blenderplayer stuff

Fix flickering when transform snapping in edit mode and cursor is
slightly outside the mesh.

Reported by Thomas Beck on irc. Issue here is that the mesh bounding box
changes as we are transforming the vertices. Solution is to collide
against the initial bounding box. Unfortunately the snapping functions
are made in a way that a lot of code needed to be tweaked here, but the
change should be straightforward and harmless (famous last words, I
know).

Ideally we might want to even increase the size of the bounding box a
little (as seen in screen space) to allow snapping even in cases where,
cursor is slightly outside the bounding box, but since this is not so
straightforward to do for all cases, at least for me, leaving this as
a TODO.

Fix T40561: cycles refraction node with sharp distribution gives black.

Add patchset to recent Carve changes

In the future i'd rather have this reported to an
upstream instead of adding local changes. It's really
easy to override this changes if patchset is not added
and this is to be fixed in upstream. Also the function
was never used so it was rather totally harmless warning
for us.

CMake: quite warnings with 3.0 (without breaking < 3.0 CMakes)

Bake-API: new approach for cage

There is a new option to select whether you want to use cage or not.
When not using cage the results will be more similar with Blender
Internal, where the inwards rays (trying to hit the highpoly objects)
don't always come from smooth normals. So if the active object has sharp
edges and an EdgeSplit modifier you get bad corners.

This is useful, however, to bake to planes without the need of adding
extra loops around the edges.

When cage is "on" the user can decide on setting a cage extrusion or to
pick a Custom Cage object. The cage extrusion option works in a
duplicated copy of the active object with EdgeSplit modifiers removed to
inforce smooth normals. The custom cage option takes an object with the
same number of faces as the active object (and the same face ordering).

The custom cage now controls the direction and the origin of the
rays casted to the highpoly objects. The direction is a ray from the
point in the cage mesh to the equivalent point to the base mesh. That
means the face normals are entirely ignored when using a cage object.

For developers:
When using an object cage the ray is calculated from the cage mesh to
the base mesh. It uses the barycentric coordinate from the base mesh UV,
so we expect both meshes to have the same primitive ids (which won't be
the case if the cage gets edited in a destructive way).

That fixes T40023 (giving the expected result when 'use_cage' is false).

Thanks for Andy Davies (metalliandy) for the consulting with normal
baking workflow and extensive testing. His 'stress-test' file will be
added later to our svn tests folder. (The file itself is not public yet
since he still has to add testing notes to it).

Many thanks for the reviewers.

Revert "CMake: quiet warnings with 3.0"

This reverts commit da7bdf1b47d4490c1a6f35740a9392cb9b5dd42e.

This broke compilation in OSX and some Linux boxes.
Error: Policy "CMP0043" is not known to this version of CMake

Shall we leave those for after RC (or even 2.71) is out? ;)

Regression Bugfix T40332: Bad driver behaviour on small distances.

!!! ANIMATORS/RIGGERS PLEASE TEST !!!

I've reduced the size of the threshold for the keyframe lookup here. This threshold
determines the minimum time in frames between keyframes (i.e. "how close" to each
other they can get). Making this too small causes problems like T39207, but it seems
that the threshold we've been using makes it impossible to get accurate behaviour on
driver curves with keyframes, when the driver target only moves 2cm (i.e. 0.02 BU).

So far, all of the test cases from T39207 seem to work fine, as well as Caminandes 2
files, and Kenny the Caterpillar. The Kiribati rigs/shots (thanks jpbouza for helping
to check on these!) also seem to be fine.
