clicking on the second point of the gradient outside the mesh should have blended to alpha zero, but was raising an error, fixed.

BPython:
-local matrices again, previous commit had matrix multiplication with
inverted order.

needed this file for Gradient tool (Window/3d ray picking function)

updated mesh boneweight copy not to error with no selection.]
updated obdatacopier to support mesh objects and added a more general way of choosing data to show or ignore in the button list.

== FFMPEG ==

Bugfix #4596 and #4594 by rewriting the file extension management.
The code is now _much_ nicer ;-)

BPython API:
-fixing object.getMatrix("localspace") and object.matrixLocal to return
the local matrix (returns global space matrix if the object doesn't
have a parent).

Bugfix #4649

Three issues:
- When saving a file, without extension added, and no filename provided,
the saving code received the directory name only. That's a potential
danger of getting directories deleted.
Added in the saveover() function a check for this, and return an error
when you try to save over a directory.

- Screendump did not add file extensions yet, when indicated todo so.

- Screendump code was duplicating all image type cases, whilst we have a
nice BKE_write_ibuf() call for that now. (Bug was that this code did not
check for BMP, saving the file in default format.)

Bugfix #4647

The raytracer wasn't calling node shaders yet, so results showed only
shading for the base material.
This now works, but there's a conflict in the internal Blender shader that
makes recursive raytracing with nodes unpredictable. Basicaly the conflict
is that when a ray wants to shade a point, it should be able to check the
material for mirror properties, but this is undefined for node trees...

Probably we need to separate raytrace entirely from material shading. Is
a good topic for NodeShader 2.0, when we really split up materials in
shading components.

I'll add a note in the release log about this. Best results you get now
when you don't include mirror/ray-transp insde a node tree, in that case
a regular material mirror can render that material perfectly.

===Python API===
Response to bug #4398: print separate messages on start-up to show (a) the
built-in Python version and (b) whether a Python installation was found.

Bugfix #4627: headerResize() was overflowing a string parameter and
destroying part of the transform matrix. Also remove a debigging printf.

1)
The F3 key 'save rendered image' made inconsistant choices to save either
in jpg or tga, when the output panel was indicating to render to movies.
Even worse, it was sometimes saying 'save jpg' and saved a targa!

Made it consistantly save .jpg now, since tga isn't a good common format.

2)
Forgot to commit transform.h for previous bugfix in transform numeric input

Bug fix #4627

The transform number input code allowed to keep typing forever. That's nice
but the code uses floats to store values, so there's a limit of 7 digits
resolution to take care of. I've added this limit now, it will stop when
the 8th digit was typed, giving a range of 100 million, quite OK for
Blender measures.

There was also a short in use for values between 0 and 1, causing an error
when you try to type like 0.99999. Here I've added a limit of 7 digits.

Bug fix #4640

Renaming Meta Object to become the 'mother meta' should invoke a call to
reconstruct the dependency graph.

Bug fix #4642

When a Sequence setup had a gap, it returned default black frames. However,
this black frame was overriding the float buffer when a new strip started
to render again, so the Sequencer kept saving black.

Also: added extra info print for Scene strip, this didn't tell yet what the
start/end frame of Scene was, and what current frame was.

Bug #4641

The ALT+C copy menu had a "Dupli" entry, but that didn't copy group-dupli
yet.

vertexpaint_selfshadow_ao adds face uv to the mesh if there not alredy there...

added GPL header and docstrings to other scripts

removed double batch_name_edit, same file is object_batch_name_edit

Updated to the latest cal3d exporter from http://svn.gna.org/viewcvs/soya/trunk/soya/blender2cal3d.py?view=log

Gui:
[ #4581 ] related to scripts window updates, details here:

http://projects.blender.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=4581&group_id=9&atid=125

Scripts updated:

-Jean-Michel Soler updated some of his scripts: paths importer (ai,
eps, gimp, svg), kml / kmz importer and also updated Axiscopy.py by A
Vanpoucke (xand) and the knife script (this version handles multiple
materials) by Stefano Selleri and Wim Van Hoydonck. Thanks!

Bugfix: (own todo)

When you rename a generated image, like "Render Result" or "Composite"
the float buffer in this image had to be copied, otherwise a next render
will make the renamed Image buffer invalid.

Note that renaming will not mean the images get packed or saved! So on
reloading .blend they're gone.

doubled the speed of mouse rotation, halved the mousewheel speed and WASDRF dont accelerate anymore.
