* added RNA_property_as_string to rna_access.c - can print most types except for pointers and collections.
* WM_operator_pystring to print the python func+args for an operator
* call WM_operator_print(op) in wm_operator_invoke(), simple echo mode should be moved later.

2.5 / RNA
* two more small warning fixes.

2.5 / RNA
* assorted fixes for resolving compile warnings
* in rna_armature setting for envelope weight was bug, since it was setting dist instead.

2.5 / RNA / Nodes
* some work on node types.

2.5 / SCons
* Silence warning
- there's no blc lib anymore :) Player won't build now anyway, as some bad level calls need to be cleaned up.

2.5 / RNA / Material
* Flare settings
* some code reorganisation for readability.

2.5 / RNA: Material
* Ray Transparency settings

2.5 / Nodes
* almost all header menu drawing is back, no real actions yet, though.

2.5 / Nodes
* fix warnings for msvc

2.5 / Nodes
* header menu drawing

2.5 / SCons

Make sure we can build WITH_BF_PYTHON=False

* temporary PKey in the script and 3D view runs "./test.py" (for testing PyOperators that need to run in the user interface context atm)
* added ED_SCRIPT_OT_run_pyfile that takes a filename argument.
* RNA_property_string_set didn't add a value to ID props if the prop wasnt there (like ints, floats and bools do)
* bpy_operator.c - raise an error when unknown keyword args are passed to any operator .

Examples of bpy operator api...

bpyoperator.ED_VIEW3D_OT_viewhome(center=1)
bpyoperator.ED_SCR_OT_frame_offset(delta=10)
bpyoperator.ED_VIEW3D_OT_make_parent(type='OBJECT')

At the moment there is no way to stop the operators .invoke() function from running so ED_VIEW3D_OT_make_parent still opens the menu even though it doesn't need to.

View2D: Border-Zoom tool

From the Christmas goodie-bag, I've added the border-zoom tool (also known as 'Zoom to Border'). This can be activated using the Shift-ZKEY hotkey (Note: this probably won't be the final hotkey choice, but I'm trying to keep Shift-BKEY free for data-editing tools).

With this method of zooming, you define a border for the current viewable area to 'fit' into.
* drawing the region with LMB will zoom in the view by focussing in on the defined region
* drawing the region with RMB will zoom out of the view by shrinking the view into the defined region

* PyOperators now parse args using the PyRNA api (wraps ID props internally),
this means it can reuse the function for converting python to RNA types - giving more useful errors.
* Incorrect enum args lists valid values in their exception message (used for PyRNA and PyOperators).
* remove bpy_idprop.c and bpy_idprop.h

PyOperators are not usable since they run outside the UI loop atm.

* disable back buffer selection drawing while projection painting (was redoing for every update while painting)
* remove unneeded return from game engines py api - ConvertPythonToGameObject

2.5 / SCons / BGE

* this should bring back BGE with scons building. Tested on scons/msvc, will test scons/gcc in a bit
NOTE: this is not WITH_BF_PLAYER yet.

2.5 BGE
* dna property types had define names renamed for RNA, do that here too.

2.5

Further simplifying making operators with menus;
now you can add an 'invoke' callback:

WM_menu_invoke

which will automatically generate a menu with choices and assign
it to the property 'type'.
What also helps typing is the new RNA_enum_is_equal() function.

Here's a paste of the now committed 'clear parent'. Note the
undo push will become a flag too.

(Brecht; fixed small bug in RNA_enum_is_equal!)

To evaluate: solving dependencies for multipe scenes... probably
will make a more generic flush call.

* bpy curve api wouldn't give correct errors for bad arguments when appending nurbs.
* the radius on the curves first point was ignored.
* mesh_edges2curves.py was giving all points a tilt of 1.0

2.5

Fix: popup menus were not freeing operators.
Made a new Popup menu call for this case:

uiPupmenuOperator(C, maxrow, op, propname, menustr);

It will set enum "propname" to the menu item and call operator,
register it optionally and free it. Use it in "invoke" calls.

Next: automatic menu generating for enum properties!
