Patch #5185, Juho V (bebraw)

Convert menu for Text objects (ALT+C) now has option to directly degrade to
a Mesh.

Patch #5184, Juho V (bebraw)

One liner basically; makes toolbox pop up like in 3d window, if you've
set it to reveil on holding RMB.

==== MSVC 7 project files ====
very small cleanup: add DNA_customdata_types.h header

Bugfix #5107

Autosmooth didn't copy additional texture coordinates such as sticky
correctly. This was part of the vertex struct in 2.41 and older, but it
became dynamic in 2.42.

Bugfix #5207

Silly error in code initialized envmap "Render" struct wrong. It didn't
work for ortho render, so also crashed on previews in ortho 3d window.

Missing check for pointer being NULL in last commit, could crash on
entering editmode.

Some clearer comments on the meaning of the tabletdata struct's variables

Added tablet tilt data collection for GHOST/Win32 - thanks elubie for doing the hard work getting it all set up first! The tilt values still aren't being used anywhere in Blender (yet? :) but at least now the data is there reliably and consistently across platforms.

New 'TOG DUAL' button (for locking bone layers) disabled extend-press
with shift key.

Simple & efficient feature request from Campbell;

One of the annoying things in Blender was that the UV Faceselect mode
immediately forced the object to draw 'Textured', mimicing how the game
engine could show it. For modeling and texturing workflow not optimal.

UV FaceSelect mode now draws textured & default lighted, if the view is
set to 'Solid'. Switch view to 'Textured' to see again what the game
engine could draw (which is using real lamps, and the per-face lighted
flag).

== Copy Pose Attributes Menu ==

I've added a few more options for the copy pose attributes menu - Copy:
* Transform Locks
* IK Limits/DOF settings
* Custom Bone Shape

Added custom vertex data support to editmode. Only used for vertex groups
now, others can be added later (sticky, shape keys). Beside one small fix
for knife exact vertex group interpolation, is intended to work the same
as before.

Also fixes bug #5200, related to editmode undo and vertex groups. And
corrects the editmode to faceselect mode selection conversion, that was
broken in a previous commit.

Patch #5195 by Anders Gudmundson.

On X11, make the table device name check case insensitive.

== Sequencer ==

Major sequencer rewrite to add Speed Control effect.
Changes:
- Cleaned up large parts of sequence.c removing a lot of unnecessary code.
(We first built old seqar array to decide, what is visible, then build
dependencies with new code, then used old code to iterate through the
strips and deciding using new code what is used and so forth and so on...)
Should be much faster now.
- Now we build the strips recursively thereby elemenating the need of a
seperate dependency calculation.
- Added a Speed-Control effect to change strip speed afterwards.
(Offers global speed as well as IPO-controlled speed.
There are several modes to play with:
- Control by velocity (IPO = velocity where 1.0 is normal speed)
- Control by frame number (IPO = target frame)
- IPO-Value can be rescaled to frame-value, to make frame exact matching
possible. (Matching video tracks to audio tracks with IPOs ;-)

Demo-Blend file is here http://peter.schlaile.de/blender/sequencer/speedcontroltest.blend

Since this was also a Plumiferos request I hope to be mentioned in the
credits ;-)

Enjoy! And please test the new sequencer thoroughly. It is really more like
a rewrite this time.

Fix for bug #4922

The VRML97 exporter was rounding a lot of stuff to three decimal points.
This is silly, since the spec says single-precision floats are used for
most things, which gives about 7 decimal points precision.

Bugfix #5208

Dupli-group, with armature in PoseMode, made selections not work.
Weird that this wasn't reported before :)

Compile error fix for last commit, using an undeclared variable. How GCC
allowed this to compile I have no idea.

Tinsy fix for ~ key (set all layers). It as actually doing 21 layers :)

Reported by Matt, via Campbell, thanks!

Experimental feature, especially for the animation department:

THE OBJECT PROXY

Or simple said; local control of referenced data from libraries.
Having library files with references is a very common studio setup, and
Blender did do quite well in that area. Were it not that for character
setups it was impossible to use still.

This commit will enable a full rig+character to remain in the library,
and still have - under strict control - local access for animation edits.

Full log:
http://www.blender3d.org/cms/Proxy_Objects.824.0.html

Added custom face data support in edit mode. The code used to do this is
the CustomData module from the modifier stack rewrite, but with additions
to make it also usable in edit mode. Some of the datatypes from that
module were move to a DNA header file, they are not saved to file now, but
will be soon.

The only code that wasn't abstracted is the uv collapse / merging code. It
is rather complicated, will look into that in the future.

There should be no user level changes.
