comment regarding bug [#27175] UV faces show incorrect image in object mode (VBO's)

remove normalize call in derived mesh GetNormal, its not done anywhere else.

Fix for bug #26590, `Texture preview fails when path to custom brush
icon is set'

* Main problem was calling BKE_icon_changed too much, blocked previews
from updating
* Also fixed clearing the icon when it's not a valid image path

Review link: http://codereview.appspot.com/4356045/

fixed some issues with the new "shadow only + shading" code.
patch from MiikaH.

Adding support for adding copies of existing drivers to other animdata
blocks via PyAPI/RNA

For example:
ob = bpy.context.active_object # assumes default cube has some drivers
added already before running script
dst = bpy.data.objects["Camera"]

adt = dst.animation_data_create()
for driver in ob.animation_data.drivers:
new_driver = adt.drivers.from_existing(driver)

Bump version for imminent 2.57b tag.

- fix for player linking
- added notes to release todo's.
- renamed view3d view transform matching functions.
- added assert in edge split modifier to make a certain bug easier to spot.

fix [#27178] Material links lost when making mesh data local
- making local object data - Curve/Mesh/MBall lost references to linked materials.
- joining a linked mesh object into a local one lost the link.

As well as these reported bugs, checked all local functions for consistency/correctness and found other cases which would also fail.
- making local metaball didn't ensure unique ID name.
- make_local_armature() was missing check for object users - main body of code would never run.
- local particles didn't set the dupli-group or textures to extern.

checked all local functions for consistency/correctness.

fix [#26993] Edge Split Crash

indentation changes only.

2.5 Interface:
* Implemented a new operator "WM_OT_properties_context_change" to switch to a different tab inside the properties window.
* This is used now inside the Modifier tab for Simulation Modifiers. Based on a mockup by Janne Karhu:
http://www.pasteall.org/pic/11261
http://www.pasteall.org/pic/11262

Rather than having a delete button there anymore, the button changes the context to Physics/Particles, where you can edit the settings and delete the actual simulation.

workaround/fix [#27162] Running commands in python console crashes blender

Fix for [#27112] Boid Particles get Z clamped to 0.0 when "Allow Flighting"
* Boids that can only fly shouldn't care about ground unless there's actually a collision object below them.

fix [#27139] Value Slider, some colours are two coloured

fix [#27121] Normals always recalculated when adding a mesh in Edit mode

fix for a crash with the following steps.
- open file sel
- save user defaults
- new file
- ctrl+u (crash)

wasn't type checking the space file, passed info space to ED_fileselect_exit().

fix [#27140] Negative Subdiv level in the operator panel.
when relative option is disabled, don't allow setting the subdiv value to a negative number.

Displace Modifier - Optimisation Tweaks for jpbouza and ZanQdo

- When strength is 0, there's no need to perform any of the
calculations at all
- When the vertexgroup weight for a vert is set to 0, skip evaluating
the modifier for that vertex as it should result in no-change to the
final result

rna api
- allow RegionView3D.view_matrix to be set.
- RegionView3D.view_rotation was inverted.
- add C function view3d_settings_from_mat()
note, intentionally removed NULL checks, double checked this is ok with callers.

2.5 UI scripts:
* Small cleanup of code and descriptions.
