Blender Git Loki

Enabling vertex-parenting to a Lattice didn't take deformed Lattices in
account...

New images were being initialized with zero users (normal for other data types),
but for images user counts work differently.
(just noticed this is what blender does so Image.New() now does the same)

Many of the sys functions had maximum path thengths that were too short.
char path[FILE_MAXFILE];
rather then
char path[FILE_MAXDIR + FILE_MAXFILE];

Python Metaballs api refactor, based on Mesh and Group modules.
* removed get/set in favor of setsetattrs
* added an element iterator to the metaball data type.
* now accepts vectors and quat for location dimensions and rotation.
and other small changes.
Docs updated shortly at.

other changes
typo in image.c
metaballs constants in buttons_editing

added Image.SetCurrent(img) and img.has_data so you can see if an image contains pixel info.

active metaball stiffness was not being limited to 10.0 as a maximum in the 3d properties panel (10000 instead).
added radius, and type menu to the 3d properties panel.

adding include pathes

bug of mine fixed
didnt chech that a material existed before accessing it- crashed with null materials and mesh.getFromObject()

changed the defaults for image edit. will open the image instantly with no options. hold shift for setting the application.

Special request: Drawmode "bounding box" now supports drawing 'extra' too,
like axis or object name.

Patch #4970 (brecht)

Added: Scale node in Compositor.

- Only works for RGBA buffers now
- I have added an option "Relative" or "Absolute" scale. So you can also
define actual pixels for scale. Values for scale are reset when you
switch, to prevent too weird situations.
- Scaling wasn't foreseen to work with the preview-panel in UV window, this
preview cropping only happens for Image and RenderResult nodes... actually
should be done for the scale too. I wait with t hat though... this preview
method isn't very advanced yet.
- The pass_on_compbuf() here crashed in tests with preview panel, that's
weak code... I have to recode that. For time being I use the
dupalloc_compbuf to have it stable.

commented metaballs dna with Jiri's help. no code changes to actial code made.

New: added SHIFT+A "Add Action Strip" menu to NLA editor. This gives a menu
with choices of Actions to be added.

New: (partial) Shape Key support for Lattices

- Panel with Shape keys now shows for lattice too
- Supports VGroup weight value for Shapes

NOTE: this doesn't support Shape editing with linked duplicates. The
modifier system for Lattices (as for Curve/Surface) has no local Object
storage, so linked duplicates will all show identical.

Bugfix: texture paint didn't work correct with modifiers.

Bugfix #4979: unlinking mesh obdata which has shape keys was not decrementing
the IPO user reference count when the key's reference count reached zero.

Menu to copy Shapes (Editmode Mesh, CTRL+C) now displays in columns

fixed typo collumn -> column

Patch 4981 (Tom Musgrave, revised)

New option: "Select Collumn" in Action editor. This selects all 'keys' on
the same time, based on already existing selection. Works for Actions as
well as Shape Keys. Hotkey K.

===Python API===
Internal code clean-up: make M_Object_New use existing code instead of
duplicating the steps of object initialization/creation.

made getFromObject() use a dummy mesh, rather then making a copy of the mesh and then replacing its data with the displist mesh.
aside from avoiding unneeded memory alloc/dealloc and bing faster this works around a recently discovered bug with the user count of copied Mesh keys... causing getFromObejct leak memory when used with mesh keys.
It also fixes a bug where getFromObejct with fluid-sim would corrupt memory.
