Displace modifier crashed when used on Curve, the fix removed the flag
that accepts curve objects, but apparently then a flag to accept meshes
has to be added. (eModifierTypeFlag_AcceptsMesh).
Thanks Michael Crawford for notifying this fix.
#5061 - Ipo/Action 'Cleaning'
#5071 - 'Only Needed' Keyframing Option
====================
* IPO/Action 'Cleaning':
It removes un-necessary keyframes from individual ipo curves.
- In both editors, the hotkey is currently the OKEY. Also accesable from menus of each editor.
- There is currently a 'threshold' popup. This sets the value that the cleaner uses to determine if two keys have same time/value
There are a few improvements that could still be made, such as:
- There are a few cases that it still doesn't handle yet, such as when un-needed keyframes lie on a linear line (and similiar cases). This shall be improved soon.
- Also, for some reason, after running cleaning while in ipo editor editmode, all but the active curve are hidden.
====================
* 'Only Needed' Keyframing Option:
This patch adds a new keyframing option for objects and bones. It only adds keyframes where they are needed, judging from the surrounding points on that curve.
Notes about this keyframing option:
- Works like the existing 'Avail' option, except it checks if the keyframe
is needed.
- Currently uses hardcoded threshold for determining if same value.

/* Cases where keyframes should not be added:
* 1. Keyframe to be added bewteen two keyframes with similar values
* 2. Keyframe to be added between two keyframes with similar times
* 3. Keyframe lies at point that intersects the linear line between two
keyframes

grouped and become a new duplicated group, and so on.
IMPORTANT NOTE!
- no check for eternal loops, so I've hardcoded limited it to 5 levels
- no support for animation or deformation/modifiers/constraints
So, only fun for the props and architecture department :)
duplicate code. Also removed redundant files from the bsp module,
that where replaced by boolop last year, no sense in updating them
for these changes. On the user level things should still work the
same, this is only preparation work.
Not counting the removed files, -1501 lines of code, not too bad :)
Enable to use Xkey or DEL for deleting objects in outliner.
Note: there's reasons to be a bit reluctant with extensions like this.
Mostly related to the fact that outliner operations is completely unfinished
still. We need to spend time on thinking over how it should evolve, and
based on that the proper hotkeys and menus can be added as well.
http://download.blender.org/demo/test/2.43/0001_0150_speed.avi
By default the Speed maps in the range 0-100 frames, since there's
not an actual time relationship here.
IMPORTANT: this didn't work before, and default Curve Paths have a
speed Ipo, so past saved scenes will work different now!
- Speed curve points are now drawn on the 3D path as well. With select
info for selected points, if Curve Object is active.
- Duplicating Objects with NLA ActionModifiers now also correctly copies
object pointers, so a duplicate works as expected.
There was a bug with the new join triangles code that caused concave faces to be
created. This is fixed now and is tweakable using the the 'threshold' value set
in the 'Mesh Tools' panel in editbuttons.
Also removed the popup notice telling you how many triangles had been joined. It
was only there for debugging purposes.
* Changed multires panel's width to the default
* Removed floating multires panel
* Made multires panel always visible (in EditButtons)
* Moved Make/Delete [multires] button into the multires panel
* Moved the two sculpt panels into tabs of the multires panel
* Removed two extra sculptmode buttons from view header
a specific object, so you can see long walkcycles or actions well.
Option is per 3d window, in "View Properties" panel. It also can optional
lock a view to a single bone even!

This enables finding data in the Outliner.
Usage: Fkey (partial strings), CTRL+Fkey (partial strings, case sensitive).
SHIFT+Fkey to repeat a search, this cycles around.
Extra changes:
- button popups to enter strings now starts activated.
- outliner either shows for Armature the Bones, or Posechannels or
Editbones, depending the mode. Was needed to make searches meaningful.
Although Joshua did very good work on the key functions, there were a couple
of issues in his code, and problems in Outliner code, that didn't make it
all work nicely. So, this is quite a revised patch. :)
Full review log can be found in the patch tracker.
This was a sculpt mode merge problem: the G_DRAWSHARP and G_SCULPTMODE flags
had the same value, so Blender thought it was in sculpt mode when "Draw Sharp"
was turned on, leading to segfaults.
I have moved the G_SCULPTMODE flag to an unused value.
This patch adds a new option to the separate menu in editmode, 'By Material'.
It simply loops through all materials in the mesh selects the faces associated
with them and calls separate().
Thanks to Andrea Weikert for the patch!
Four more selection options in Curve editing;
- select more/less (ctrl+numpadplus/minus)
- select first/last point
All nice in menus and toolbox even!
Patch note: had to fix bugs in using 'continue' inside of while() loops.
Turned all oldstyle while() in for() for going over lists.
Basic support for normal pressure sensitivity is implemented, adding other features like tilt etc. shouldn't be too difficult, now that basic support is there.
Tested with WACOM Volito on Windows XP using the pressure sensitivity with texture paint to change size of the brush .
Added additional include dir to scons, and MSVC 7 project files - other build systems might have to be updated.
NLA window now follows visibility for scene layers, cleaning up complex
files quite some. Only note we could make is if this could be optional,
sometimes it's also nice to see the entire scene.
Note for Roland: this is a recoded version, with about 10% of code :)
#4742 exported normals are now correct
#4821 & 4956 for complex movements in/outflows can now also
use the animated mesh option
- new features
* isosurface subdivision: directly
creates a finer surface mesh from the simulation data.
this increases simulation time and harddisk usage, though, so
be careful - usually values of 2-4 should be enough.
* fluidsim particles: extended model for particle
simulation and generation. When isosurface subdivision is enabled,
the particles are now included in the surface generation,
giving a better impression of a single connected surface.
Note - the particles are only included in the final surface
mesh, so the preview surface shows none of the particle
effects.
* particle loading: different types of particles can now be selected for
display: drops, floats and tracers. This is a bit obsolete
due to the extensions mentioned above, but might still be useful.
Floats are just particles floating on the fluid surface, could
be used for e.g. foam.
* moving objects impact factor: this is another tweaking option,
as the handling of moving objects is still not conserving
mass. setting this to zero simply deletes the fluid, 1 is
the default, while larger values cause a stronger
impact. For tweaking the simulation: if fluid disappears, try
increasing this value, and if too much is appearing reduce it.
You can even use negative values for some strange results :)
- more code cleanup, e.g. removed config file writing in fluidsim.c,
added additional safety checks for particles & fluidsim domains (these
currently dont work together). I also removed the "build particles"
debug message in effects.c (seemed to be unnecessary?).
Some more info on the new features:
Here are two test animations showing the difference between
using the particle generation with isosurface subdivision.
This is how it would look with the old solver version:
http://www10.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/~sinithue/blender/fluid6_fl6manc4_1noparts.mpg
and this with the new one:
http://www10.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/~sinithue/blender/fluid6_fl6manc4_2wparts.mpg
Both simulations use a resolution of 64, however, the version with particles
takes significantly longer (almost twice as long).
The .blend file for a similar setup can be found here:
http://www10.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/~sinithue/blender/fluid6_testmanc4.blend
(Minor Tips for this file: dont enable subdivions of characters until rendering,
thus leave off for simulation, as it uses the rendering settings! For making
nice pictures switch on subdivion, and OSA.)
And here's a picture of old vs. new (for webpage or so):

Boolean crashed when using vertexcolors or UVs. The fix is disputable... it
just always returns a valid char * for "face vertex material", whatever
that may be... this fix seems not to break anything.
Also moved the report to Todo tracker, with message:
-> Need new Boolean maintainer!
