No need to force ortho on a unit matrix

various small fixes
- undo stops all running jobs (operator redo was crashing with threaded render)
- adding new armatures was crashing if there was no valid view3d
- transform with an active hidden object would crash

SVN maintenance.

Mac / COCOA : Imbuf

- replace libtiff by calls to Cocoa services to load/save tiff files
(Libtiff, dynamically linked is not distributed with OS X, and would have had to be shipped for all four architectures)

The imb_cocoaLoadImage & imb_cocoaSaveImage are generic towards the bitmap format, and thus can handle TIFF, GIF, JPG, JP2000, BMP and raw camera formats (read-only for these), even if today only TIFF is used as the other formats are already handled.

- CMake updated
- scons updated (Thx to Jens Verwiebe)

Options to set OpenCollada, pcre and expat dirs (Dyussenov's test please).

A CMake file for collada support (Dyussenov's: please test).

Fixed [#19735] No normal map button in texture->image pane
Put it into the "Image Sampling" Panel, not sure if its the right location.

Script templates, including game logic scripts from 2.4x and new operator template.
Files copied into scripts/templates will automatically appear in the menu.

the operator template is a bit rough but a start.

Sculpt: fix first partial redraw giving wrong bounds.

Sculpt: svn merge https://svn.blender.org/svnroot/bf-blender/trunk/blender -r24095:24152

Modified python rna property types (BPy_PropertyRNA), so PySequence_Check() returns true
this means you can do...
C = {"selected_editable_objects":bpy.data.objects}
...when defining pythons context, without doing list(bpy.data.objects)

Python can now run operators with their own context (data context).
The aim of this is to avoid having to set the selection each time before running an operator from python.

At the moment this is set as a python dictionary with string keys and rna values... eg.

C = {}
C["active_object"] = bpy.data.objects['SomeOb']
bpy.ops.object.game_property_new(C)

# ofcourse this works too..
bpy.ops.object.game_property_new({"active_object":ob})

# or...
C = {"main":bpy.data, "scene":bpy.data.scenes[0], "active_object":bpy.data.objects['SomeOb'], "selected_editable_objects":list(bpy.data.objects)}
bpy.ops.object.location_apply(C)

use objects rather then bases where possible, use context rather then OBACT macro

* Added missing "Passes" Button for AAO, reported by nudelZ.
* Some Layout tweaks for Cloth Panel, put Quality option to top. Patch by nudelZ.

2.5 Nodes:
* Wraped Texture Nodes: Output and Bricks.
* Show Quality Slider (Composite > File Output) only for JPEG.

Comment out "forked" parameter for extrude_mode macro operator (it doesn't work yet and give warning in console)

Gimbal Transform orientations

Will use rotation gimbal axis when an object or bone set to Euler rotation mode is selected (global axis otherwise)

Use case: being able to do rotations that only affect one animation curve in the 3d view instead of just in the curve editor.

I'm committing this right now despite what follows because it's already useful as is.

Known bug: manipulator arrows can look slightly skewed (not really a big problem), but more importantly, rotation circles for the rotation manipulator are skewed and will not perfectly reflect the rotation axis (it will still use the correct one though). That will be fixed shortly.

To do: This orientation should act like Local, where each object/bone uses its own orientation and not just the one of the active object/bone.

Note: Saved files with custom orientations might end up with other orientations selected when being opened up. I don't think it's that useful to make a do_version for that, but I can if warranted.

2.5 Sequencer
New Operator for 'Move current frame to next/previous edit point'
Keymap: PageUp/PageDown
(small Durian wish)

Fix compilation for r24142.

OpenGL Render restored.

I tried to make it integrate more with regular render but couldn't
do it well, it still needs a 3D view to take the settings from, and
can't run in a separate thread due to OpenGL.

However, it is now rendering to an offscreen buffer which then gets
displayed in the image window. This requires FBO's to be available, so
a fallback creating a new window is still needed. Currently available
from the Render menu in the top header.
