Bugfix: When using 'border render' (part image), and then in compositor
the Preview Panel, you got a crash... this case wasn't anticipated in
code... two cropping mechanisms on top. :)

Works OK now, but offset of cropping is drawn a bit weird... this case
needs recode a bit. On list for later.

Bugfix: the RenderResult node, using another scene, didn't use the
frame nummers of the active scene.

Preview rendering improvement;

Until now, on each mouse/key event preview render restarted with first tile.
It now rememers where it was, and continues rendering.
Also tried to get threaded preview working, but its more work than I can
spend right now. Back to bugs :)

Bugfix in Preview renders; material with lightgroups didn't get initialized
correctly.

allow typed constraints (for future hinge/vehicles etc)

more vehicle preparation and some bullet collision detection bugfixes (related to collision margin)

Improved OpenGL Shader Language support for game engine. The python interface is much simplified. Drawback is that scripts need to be updated next release. Testfiles:

Couple of smaller fixes:

- Improved stats drawing while rendering, it now draws - while preparing
renderdata - each second the amount of verts/faces.
Also while rendering, the amount of finished and total parts are printed.

- Added ESC in loop that generated Group render data

- On deleting Render Layers, the nodes that use them are now checked and
corrected.

- Restored drawing all scanlines in renderwindow... this wasn't the bug!

Bug #2839: Shift key not working in Shear, Push-Pull and shrink-Fatten

- I changed the input method for shear quite a bit. It used to be constant
regardless of zooming, so it was quite limiting in the amount of shear you
could do. However, I'm not sure if the current method is quite well
adjusted, if you think it works too fast, please drop me a line.
It's basicly the same method as Shrink-Fatten / Push-Pull except on an
horizontal basis. (since shear is an horizontal motion and the two others
are more like pulling towards/pushing away from you in regards to the center)
- Factored out the input methods in preparation for later code <evil>.

Work on shadowbuffer system... right now only new filtertypes for
sampling have been activated for UI. Check the pictures here:

I also did do tests with anti-aliased shadowbuffers:

http://www.blender.org/bf/filters/index3.html

But this needs more thinking over still...

Argh! Commented out line in readfile.c (with comment I really dont know
what this does), actually makes sure that on linking same data from a
library again (after reopening file), the linking of data pointers goes
OK.

commiting patch #3847

Couple of features/fixes:

- Compositor now frees memory of buffers internally used in groups
immediately. This wasn't part of the event-based cache anyway

- New option: "Free Texture Images" (in render Output panel). This
frees after each render of each scene all images and mipmaps as
used by textures. As reference it prints total amount of MB freed.

- Render stage 'creating speed vectors' had no ESC checking yet

- Made drawing scanline updates during render draw 1 scanline less...
dunno, still hunting for weird opengl crashes.

- 3D preview render didn't properly skip sequence or composit render.

Switching glFlush() to glFinish() in renderwindow drawing for updates...
no idea if it helps, will be tested now. :)
