2.5: bugfix for BLI_is_writable, made render with Save Buffers
not work anymore. Now it first tries to open the file without
truncating, and only then tries to create a new file.

mathutils types didnt work properly in python2x. vec*matrix failed for eg.

Now with KX_Python.h line 35 commented YoFrankie 1.1 should run unmodified in blender2.5

Drawing a string longer then 255 chars wasnt working.

changes to flatten_string_append(...), probably only brecht is interested.
- It was copying from the old malloc'd buffer but never the fixed buffer - the reason >255 length strings didnt render.
- on first malloc for the FlatString allocate 512 rather then 256 chars since the fixed string is 256 chars.
- if the char was ' ' fs->pos was set to 0, not sure why since char cant be ' ' because of the loop that calls flatten_string_append, removed.

- FBX exporter conversion continued
- added (uncommented actually) PoseChannel.pose_matrix
- added Object.dag_update that calls DAG_object_flush_update. I'm not sure if it's needed, but FBX exporter uses it.

Console Autocomplete (Alt+Enter in the text editor), should be moved out of the text editor soon.

The autocomplete function is generic and could be made into its own module.
Examples:
b -> bpy

bpy.data.mes -> bpy.data.meshes

bpy.ops.OB -> bpy.ops.OBJECT_OT_

bpy.data.objects[0].a -> (options)
active_material, active_material_index, active_particle_system, active_particle_system_index, active_shape_key, active_shape_key_index, active_vertex_group, active_vertex_group_index, animation_data

Added object hierarchy support to importer.

calling operators from python was raising an error without returning an error value.

brecht, switched the order back to fix this, added an argument for WM_operatortype_find() to fail without printing an error.

2.5

* Objects now support up to 32767 material slots. It's easy to
increase this further, but I prefer not to increase the memory
usage of mesh faces, it seems unlikely that someone would
create 32767 distinct materials?
* Forward compatibility: the only thing you can potentially lose
reading a 2.5 file in 2.4 is object linking (instead of default
data), though usually that will go fine too. Reading files with
> 32 material slots in 2.4 can start giving issues.

* The ob->colbits variable is deprecated by the array ob->matbits
but I didn't remove the ob->colbits updates in very few places
it is set.
* I hope I changed all the relevant things, various places just
hardcoded the number 16 instead of using the MAXMAT define.

* Join Objects operator back. This is using the version from the
animsys2 branch coded by Joshua, which means it now supports
joining of shape keys.

* Fix for crash reading file saved during render.

Keyed physics refresh:
- Keyed targets in one list instead of "chaining", this opens up many more possibilities than before and is much less obscure.
- Better keyed timing possibilities (time & duration in frames).
- Looping over keyed targets list.

Other changes:
- New child setting "length" with threshold (great for guard & underfur with a single particle system)
- Modularization of path interpolation code.
- Cleared "animateable" flags from many particle settings that shouldn't be animateable.

Fixes:
- Keyed particles weren't copied properly (ancient bug).
- Hair rotations depended on global z-axis for root rotation so downward facing strands could flip rotation randomly. Now initial hair rotation is derived from face dependent hair matrix. (This caused for example ugly flipping of child strands on some cases).
- Children from faces weren't calculated straight after activating them.
- Multiple disk cache fixes:
* Disk cache didn't work correctly with frame steps.
* Conversion from memory cache to disk cache didn't work with cloth.
* Disk cache crashed on some frames trying to close an already closed cache file.
* Trails didn't work with disk cached particles.
- Child rough effects were effected by emitter object loc/rot making them next to useless with animation, why didn't anybody tell me this!!
- Lots of random code cleanup.

*Moved rtbuild to bf_render_raytrace

*Added vbvh - Just a experimental tree type :)
Variable Way BVH - there is no hardcoded number of childs per each Tree Node
- idea is to optimize a tree to reduced the expected number of BB tests even after applying SAH (for that an hardcoded n-way is not enough)
- for now childs are stored on a linked list

2.5 filebrowser
* bugfix: parent on linux didn't account for first slash
* added some BLI_cleanup_dir to prevent weird directory names
* revert to old directory if user types bogus text.

python console in ~80 lines
Shift+Enter in the text editor executes the TEXT_OT_line_console operator defined in space_text.py

The operator's class stores a namespace for each text block.

Eventually this should have its own input rather then using the text editor.

Tested with py3.1 and 2.6

TEXT_OT_insert was only using the first char from a string, added support for inserting strings.

2.5 file browser
* tweak for autocomplete, only update live if live_update and TAB key is hit. (Brecht, please check if it's ok, otherwise will revert and we'll find another way)
* adding slash at the end of directory to allow for faster autocomplete
* bugfix: directory name buton had wrong length

2.5 file browser
* bugfix: adding back adding the region on read of old files
* tweak: buttons for increment/decrement file number now have icons and size adjusted to UI_UNIT_X/UI_UNIT_Y

made text editor margin work with different font sizes.
also made it draw the width needed, was fixed at 4.

2.5 - Tweaks for Split Strips in NLA and Graph Editor view ranges

* Split strips now uses the current frame as the splitting-point for selected strips if the current frame falls within in the bounds of the strip. Otherwise, the code defaults to splitting by the midpoints of the strips.

* Time-range for Graph Editor is saner now when there is only a single keyframe or none at all.

Reusing existing blenkernel function calc_action_range for Action.get_frame_range.

Added Action.get_frame_range returning a (min, max) pair or (0, 0) if there are no keys.

NLA Bugfixes:

* Fixed crash when anim-playback is running and a strip beside a transition gets transformed.
Transition strips no-longer assume that their neighbours are action-clips, using the standard NLA-strip evaluation function instead to evaluate their neighbours. However, a check for ping-pong recursion needed to be added there, so that a transition beside a meta-strip, with the meta having a transition nested at the start of one of its levels, wouldn't fail with stack overflow.

* Moved 'Tweak Mode' menu entry to Edit menu, since it's not really that modal.

2.5 - Editing Animation data (keyframes/nla-strips) using transform tools now refreshes the 3d-view in realtime.

For now, this directly sets the update flags, though this really should be calling the Depsgraph API instead.
