==kmz importer==

This script adds support for importing kmz mesh files (google maps model format) - the script was written by jmz, thanks

support for ffmpeg in linux. default is no.
set BF_OPENGL to /usr rather than /usr/lib. thx Ken!

Bugfix #4223

Sequencer:
A call to view2d_do_locks() got accidentally added in main drawing loop,
causing an infinite loop of redraws when this option was used with more
sequence windows open.

Added missing view2d_do_locks() to zooming in Sequence window. Also
cleaned this call a bit.

Bugfix #4089: Some Linux distros are using newer versions of OpenAL which
have FreeAlut (the OpenAL Utility Toolkit) separated out into libalut. Added
a configuration test to check for libalut and add to LIBPATH if detected.

==bvh removal for cambo==

removing to fix some commit problems - cambo will add them back

* Fixed bug #4000 (can't select horizontally flipped sequence effect strips).
Just needed a check if start > end.

==Sequencer==
Bugfix: If you use the IPO-pinning feature and edited an IPO that wasn't
highlighted as the current Sequence (current Sequence being a Metastrip),
you'll get obscure crashes, since the code
a) was mistakenly using last_seq
b) didn't test for se->ok != 2, thereby doing double frees on imbufs

Am I the only one, who wants to remove the last_seq global completely... ?

===Python API===
Patch to add 'NoSpecular' to Lamp.Modes constant dict, submitted by Jonathan
Merritt. Thanks!

Fixed mistake in calculating the collapse position (surprising it worked as well as it did)

bugfix #3679 YFexport relative path on linux

Bugfix for crashes when rendering with yafray when the render
size was not 100%

Rotation constraint update.

Small fix, but results are at least less frustrating now. It uses the
"compatible euler" function from inserting key positions here, preventing
euler values to be constrainted that differ weirdly.

I've tried several other approaches to get a definite rotate constraint,
but only constraining a single axes seems to me impossible magic still...

Patch from Fred van Essen: six new blending modes.

Functional in Node editor and Material Ramps.

Plumiferos bugfix:

The new (months ago) added option for "Local Constraint" always copied
and restored a PoseChannel quaternion, that disabled the required
normalizing of quaternions.

Only visible when you manually draw Ipo Curves, but it's probable that
it showed in other cases too.

Bugreport #3891

Object Layer Ipos didn't work when the Ipo was moved an Object Action.
Can't get this to work though... this option has been added with a lot
of exception handling already, and for action/nla it's very nasty to
blend/mix/add layer bit values. So; better not support that.

As feedback for users, I've added a notice popup when you try to move
layer-ipos to an action.

Compositor:
Viewer Nodes inside of Groups now work too. To not frustrate interactive
speed, the following rules apply:

- Making a Group editable (or closing) doesn't signal recalculation of
composite
- clicking on an Input socket always checks changes and calulcates
- When there are Viewers inside an edited Group, Viewers in the main tree
are not executed.

Also added: a "hide unused sockets" icon in the header of Viewer nodes.
This allows cleanup of Groups, to prevent these sockets get reveiled.

Added an option to OBJ import "As Instance" - so people can import all the objs objects into a new scene and have a group instanced in the current scene.
some extra details in Epydocs about how groups work.

added basic docs for rbFriction and rbRestitution

added friction and restitution for the Collada Physics export/import

Plumiferos bugreport:

Appending a Scene, which had group-objects, accidentally linked these
objects to the active scene too. This was a mixup with the case of just
appending a group.
