Implemented Features
====================
Builtin Stereo Camera
* Convergence Mode
* Interocular Distance
* Convergence Distance
* Pivot Mode
Viewport
* Cameras
* Plane
* Volume
Compositor
* View Switch Node
* Image Node Multi-View OpenEXR support
Sequencer
* Image/Movie Strips 'Use Multiview'
UV/Image Editor
* Option to see Multi-View images in Stereo-3D or its individual images
* Save/Open Multi-View (OpenEXR, Stereo3D, individual views) images
I/O
* Save/Open Multi-View (OpenEXR, Stereo3D, individual views) images
Scene Render Views
* Ability to have an arbitrary number of views in the scene
Missing Bits
============
First rule of Multi-View bug report: If something is not working as it should *when Views is off* this is a severe bug, do mention this in the report.
Second rule is, if something works *when Views is off* but doesn't (or crashes) when *Views is on*, this is a important bug. Do mention this in the report.
Everything else is likely small todos, and may wait until we are sure none of the above is happening.
Apart from that there are those known issues:
* Compositor Image Node poorly working for Multi-View OpenEXR
(this was working prefectly before the 'Use Multi-View' functionality)
* Selecting camera from Multi-View when looking from camera is problematic
* Animation Playback (ctrl+F11) doesn't support stereo formats
* Wrong filepath when trying to play back animated scene
* Viewport Rendering doesn't support Multi-View
* Overscan Rendering
* Fullscreen display modes need to warn the user
* Object copy should be aware of views suffix

range and extra frames.
Issue here is that the movie backend would unconditionally use the start
frame of the scene instead of the preview frame. Solved by passing an
explicit "preview" argument.
Strictly speaking, the preview argument is part of the renderdata
struct, that is also passed to the code, but when rendering the final
result we want to unconditionally render the full range regardless of
the preview setting of the render structure.
However, OpenGL rendering does use the preview range so we need to
account for that when making those exports.
This is also a nice chance to correct the filenames, which still used
the full range.

without the underscores these clogged up the namespace for autocompleation which was annoying.

animation and output is H264
Issue was caused by incorrectly set PTS value frames came form Scene strip renderer.
This value used to be calculated from RenderData current and start frame which
lead to non-uniformuly counting which totally confuses encoder.
Switch append_avi and append_ffmpeg to use current frame from rendering scene
(which was already passing to this functions and was used mostly for logging)
and start frame of rendering scene (it's new parameter added). This allowed to
calculate correct PTS value easily and get rid of global static sframe variable
in writeavi.c file.

details:
- setting format options from python isnt possible anymore since this isnt exposed via op->properties, python should use image.save() function instead.
- image save UI now hides 'Relative' option when copy is selected since it has no effect.
- default image depth is set to 8 or more if the image has no float buffer, otherwise its set to 32 or less.
other fixes:
- image new was adding an image with a filepath set to "untitled", if this file happened to exist in the current directory a save on the generated image would overwrite it, now initialize to empty path.
- BKE_ftype_to_imtype was returning an invalid value if ftype==0.

as PROP_THICK_WRAP does this.
- scene.render_data.frame_path(frame=num), returns the output path for rending images of video.
- scene.render_data.file_extension, readonly attribute, gives the extension ".jpg", ".mov" etc
- player support was guessing names, use the above functions to get the actual names used, accounting for #'s replacing numbers.

Also fixes bug #19463: screencast to xvid ffmpeg crash.

- RenderData was missing from append_movie/avi

Think global, act local!
The old favorite G.scene gone! Man... that took almost 2 days.
Also removed G.curscreen and G.edbo.
Not everything could get solved; here's some notes.
- modifiers now store current scene in ModifierData. This is not
meant for permanent, but it can probably stick there until we
cleaned the anim system and depsgraph to cope better with
timing issues.
- Game engine G.scene should become an argument for staring it.
Didn't solve this yet.
- Texture nodes should get scene cfra, but the current implementation
is too tightly wrapped to do it easily.

integrating a mini-webserver (around 300 lines of code) into blender.
Using the VFAPI-plugin in contrib/windows it enables blender to
directly feed its output into TMPGEnc, a commercial high quality MPEG-Encoder.
Since it is a mini-webserver, you can probably easily use it for other
interfacing purposes.

here is a quick summary...
Kent
intern/bsp/intern/BSP_CSGMesh_CFIterator.h
removed tri_index (unused variable)
intern/bsp/intern/CSG_BooleanOps.cpp
removed extra ;
intern/string/intern/STR_String.cpp
added <ctype.h>
source/blender/blenkernel/BKE_writeavi.h
moved things around so not doing forward declarations
source/blender/renderconverter/intern/convertBlenderScene.c
changed render.h to render_types.h
source/blender/src/blenderbuttons.c
source/blender/src/editgroup.c
source/blender/src/meshtools.c
added newline
source/gameengine/Ketsji/KX_KetsjiEngine.cpp
commented out include "PIL_time.h" code that requires it is commented out
reading blender/src/writeavicodec.c
(struct keyword to a couple of lines that needed it)
and added:
extern struct Render R;
blender/renderconverter/intern/convertBlenderScene.c
added extern Render R;
added #include "rendercore.h" to get rid of undeclared shade_material_loop
(Not sure if this is right but it fixes it.
Did not fix this problem, is it alright to just pass NULL here or should we chan
ge it to something else:
init_render_materials' : too few
gameengine/Physics/BlOde/OdePhysicsEnvironment.cpp
removed argument to dHashSpaceCreate
commented out dWorldQuickStep since it does not exist

A full detailed description of this will be done later... is several days
of work. Here's a summary:
Render:
- Full cleanup of render code, removing *all* globals and bad level calls
all over blender. Render module is now not called abusive anymore
- API-fied calls to rendering
- Full recode of internal render pipeline. Is now rendering tiles by
default, prepared for much smarter 'bucket' render later.
- Each thread now can render a full part
- Renders were tested with 4 threads, goes fine, apart from some lookup
tables in softshadow and AO still
- Rendering is prepared to do multiple layers and passes
- No single 32 bits trick in render code anymore, all 100% floats now.
Writing images/movies
- moved writing images to blender kernel (bye bye 'schrijfplaatje'!)
- made a new Movie handle system, also in kernel. This will enable much
easier use of movies in Blender
PreviewRender:
- Using new render API, previewrender (in buttons) now uses regular render
code to generate images.
- new datafile 'preview.blend.c' has the preview scenes in it
- previews get rendered in exact displayed size (1 pixel = 1 pixel)
3D Preview render
- new; press Pkey in 3d window, for a panel that continuously renders
(pkey is for games, i know... but we dont do that in orange now!)
- this render works nearly identical to buttons-preview render, so it stops
rendering on any event (mouse, keyboard, etc)
- on moving/scaling the panel, the render code doesn't recreate all geometry
- same for shifting/panning view
- all other operations (now) regenerate the full render database still.
- this is WIP... but big fun, especially for simple scenes!
Compositor
- Using same node system as now in use for shaders, you can composit images
- works pretty straightforward... needs much more options/tools and integration
with rendering still
- is not threaded yet, nor is so smart to only recalculate changes... will be
done soon!
- the "Render Result" node will get all layers/passes as output sockets
- The "Output" node renders to a builtin image, which you can view in the Image
window. (yes, output nodes to render-result, and to files, is on the list!)
The Bad News
- "Unified Render" is removed. It might come back in some stage, but this
system should be built from scratch. I can't really understand this code...
I expect it is not much needed, especially with advanced layer/passes
control
- Panorama render, Field render, Motion blur, is not coded yet... (I had to
recode every single feature in render, so...!)
- Lens Flare is also not back... needs total revision, might become composit
effect though (using zbuffer for visibility)
- Part render is gone! (well, thats obvious, its default now).
- The render window is only restored with limited functionality... I am going
to check first the option to render to a Image window, so Blender can become
a true single-window application. :)
For example, the 'Spare render buffer' (jkey) doesnt work.
- Render with border, now default creates a smaller image
- No zbuffers are written yet... on the todo!
- Scons files and MSVC will need work to get compiling again
OK... thats what I can quickly recall. Now go compiling!

(adding)
#ifdef HAVE_CONFIG_H
#include <config.h>
#endif
also the Makefile.in's were from previous patch adding
the system depend stuff to configure.ac
