Bugfix (reported on BA forums):

Blender crashed when the Armature Modifier was supplied with the name of a Vertex
Group which did not have any verts assigned to it.

more epy doc updates
added a constant dict "Blender.Object.IpoKeyTypes" to pass to ob.insertIpoKey(keytype), previously these constants were not documented well and added to Blender.Object directly

AutoKey Avail was also not working correctly for Object with ObActions.

Quite a few bugfixes:

* Constraint sliders in Action Editor didn't update buttons window

* Homekey in IPO Editor didn't respect scaling.

* With Preview Range set, using the SKEY and EKEY hotkeys in the Timeline
to change the extents of it, resulted to the NLA editor not being
refreshed. (Note: I haven't actually seen this happening)

* Keyframing options 'Avail' and 'Needed' didn't work for Objects
when they had an ObAction. The problem was that the code assumed
that the object had an ipo-block associated with it, but that is
not the case when you have an Object Action for that object.

updated epydocs

Fix gcc warning about implicit declaration of function �??object_data_is_libdata'

Fix for bug #6629 - modifiers and vertex-parenting

I have changed the vertex parenting code to use the derivedFinal mesh rather
than derivedDeform; this gives the result after all modifiers have been
applied, rather than the result up to the first non-deforming modifier as it
did before. Since the derivedFinal mesh can have more than one vertex
corresponding to a single vertex in the base mesh, the average of all such
vertices is used.

Stupid fix... Back when I introduced new env vars for what
targets to build, the definitions file had different names from the
Makefiles, so these two were broken.
WITH_BF_BLENDERGAMEENGINE
WITH_BF_BLENDERPLAYER

Fixed now.

Correct some typos.

Curves in Editmode:

HKEY and Shift HKEY are used to change the handle type of curve control points in the IPO and Action Editors, and also for curves in the 3d view until recently.

This commit reverses the hotkey changes in:
http://projects.blender.org/pipermail/bf-blender-cvs/2007-May/009879.html

For curves, I've changed the show/hide points hotkeys to:
* Ctrl Alt HKEY == Hide Point(s)
* Alt HKEY == Show All Points

These aren't optimal, but at least there are usable hotkeys for this for now. Before, there had been a long-standing hotkey conflict. Better hotkeys can be designed as part of 2.5 work.

Fix SSS panel docking. Didn't seen to go well with a clean .B.blend.
Replace the R,G,B sliders with a color button, patch by Matt, thanks!

Hopefullly this commit shall resolve the issues drawing issues I saw with the Action
Editor IPO-Curve channel names on a computer with an Intel G965 Express graphics card.

added access to SSS settings in Python
buttons_shading.c - 2 tooltips elaborated

Subsurface scattering:

== Sculpt Mode ==

Fixed bug #6631, Sculpt Tool don't works correctly on a mesh with Armature modifier

* Modified the calculation of projected (2D) vertex locations to use deformed vertex locations when appropriate

== Sculpt Mode ==

Fixed bug #6639 ] Sculpt mode clearing brush texture causes a crash (null pointer)

* Added code to clear the brush texture preview (used for propset) when deleting a brush texture
* Added a check in tex_strength() for an empty (NULL) texture slot to prevent the crash

== UV/Image Editor ==

Patch #6570.

This patch adds color and alpha selectors to Image -> "New..." dialog.

== Insert-Key Menu for Textures ==

Two minor naming tweaks:
* Cloud -> Clouds
* DistNoise -> DistortedNoise

Armature Drawing Tweak:

I've always found it hard to see the armature bones in 'Line' mode that don't have any constraints/ik/keyframes/etc. colour indications as they were set to the colour of the background. This tweak makes these particular bones draw slightly darker than
the minor-gridlines in the 3d-view, but not as dark as the major gridlines.

== IPO Editor - Scaled IPOs ==

Last few bits and pieces - transforms should now work correctly with scaled IPO's
now.
