Fix for [#27182] particle/collision kill interacting strangely
* Particle die time wasn't taken correctly into account in certain situations when calculating dynamics.

Fix for [#27579] Particles Cache Problem
* Horrors from the ancient world of deprecated code: object animation offset can't really work correctly with particles unless point cache takes full control of particle system timing.
* Disabled the non-working offset control from effecting particles so that for now particles will work consistently and the offset is only applied to the object.

Reduce duplicate code

Bugfix #27856: Transforming Grease Pencil frames in Action Editor
didn't perform updates

* This problem was caused by a typo when adapting old code
* Fixed crash where keyframes-update was being called in Grease Pencil
transforms too

Todo:
Outliner/Datablocks Viewer doesn't update that nicely when these
keyframes get modified. Outside of gdb, I managed to get a few non-
repeatable crashes here; while debugging though, there was only some
lagging oddness if panning before the tree updated.

Fix for [#27347] Particle x-axis mirror editing not working as expected.
* The x-mirror editing didn't mirror strand lengths.

blenderplayer bundle in OSX doesn't need script folder (untested)
I can't test this here, somehow blender+scons is failing in my building env.
but it should work. Basically it skips the copy of the script folder for the blenderplayer.app

I will test it once buildbot get pass this review ;)

BGE Animations: Updating some copy+pasted license blocks.

BGE Animations: Adding preliminary support for blend shape actions on different layers. This, and shape action blending in general still require more work though.

Light(spot) spot_size (fall of angle in COLLADA) animation support completed.

Updated the indent, sorry!

====== Proposal: Nodes property windows enhancement ======

===== Situation before this patch =====

in the current situation inside the node editor there is a properties panel (press 'n'-key). This pabel displays some information about the node, backdrop and grease pencil. The UI of the property panel is typically vertical oriented. Nodes in the other hand are not oriented in a direction. Both area's are draw via the same draw function.

With some nodes this will create not user-friendly UI. Try the color-balance for instance). The 3 color circles are drawn next to each other, it would be better to draw them below each other.

When creating more complex nodes you don't want to display all handles in the node-panel and in the properties panel. For instance fine-tuning handles you only want to appear in the property panel to reduce place in the node itself.

===== Situation after this patch =====

This patch separates the draw functions of the property panel and the node panel.
When no special draw function is created for the property panel, the draw function of the node will be used as 'fallback'

===== Impact =====

==== BKE_node.h ====

add a new uifunc (called uifuncbut) to the bNodeType struct. The definition is the same as the uifunc.

==== node_buttons.c ====

if the uifuncbut is set, call it. currently calls the uifunc method

==== drawnode.c ====

static void node_composit_set_butfunc(bNodeType *ntype). set the uifuncbut function where needed. When at the end of the method uifuncbut is still empty, set uifuncbut to the uifunc.

===== Final note =====

! PS. this is not limited to the compositor it also works for Materials and Textures !
! PPS. For other branching creating their own node-tree. Please make sure that your uifuncbut is set NULL or a valid draw function !

Current situation

A mesh can consist out of multiple material. Take a character with clothing's. the skin can be a different material as the different clothing's. During compositing it is a common use-case to only do a part of the composit on only a specific material. Currently this can not be done.

In blender movies this feature is known to be implemented, but until now it never got integrated into trunk.
Proposal

With material index the Blender internal renderer will be capable of creating a buffer containing the material indexes of the first pixel-hit. This will be implemented in the same manner as the object index.

In the compositor the ID Mask node can be used to extract the information out of the Render pass.
Impact
User interface

On the properties-space the next changes will be done

Scene�??Render layer�??Passes�??Material index will be added
Material�??Options�??Pass index will be added

DNA

Material struct will get an new field called �??index�?. this will be a short-type.
Material struct the field pad will be removed.
A new Render-layer pass will be added (bit 1«18)

RNA

Material RNA is updated (based on �??pass index�? from object)
Render layer RNA is updated (based on IndexOB)

Blender internal renderer

The Blender internal renderer will process the render pass as a copy of the Object index.
Blender compositor

The render layer input will get a new output socket called �??IndexMA�?
Usage

An example on how to use material index can be found at:

https://svn.blender.org/svnroot/bf-blender/trunk/lib/tests/compositing/composite_materialindex.blend

This is also example of a commit message longer than the commit itself :)

light SpotLight blend and size parameters animation export. on going.

bind marker camera now uses active object rather then scene camera (was requested a few times)

Fix #27849: 3D manipulator widget lost on mesh in edge mode.

The manipulator was always using vertex selection flags, but those are only
valid in vertex mode, as selection flag flushing only happens in the direction
vertex -> edge -> face. Now use edge/face selection flags when needed.

Paths: remove some temporary code that was only needed for 2.57.

Fix #27785: blenderplayer + eltopo linking error.

Finished Freeze constraint, and target space option for Freeze and Point constraints.
