2014-04-15	Structural cleanup and improvements for the compositor.	Lukas Tönne
	Many parts of the compositor are unnecessarily complicated. This patch aims at reducing the complexity of writing nodes and making the code more transparent. == Separating Nodes and Operations == Currently these are both mixed in the same graph, even though they have very different purposes and are used at distinct stages in the compositing process. The patch introduces dedicated graph classes for nodes and for operations. This removes the need for a lot of special case checks (isOperation etc.) and explicit type casts. It simplifies the code since it becomes clear at every stage what type of node we are dealing with. The compiler can use static typing to avoid common bugs from mixing up these types and fewer runtime sanity checks are needed. == Simplified Node Conversion == Converting nodes to operations was previously based on "relinking", i.e. nodes would start with by mirroring links in the Blender DNA node trees, then add operations and redirect these links to them. This was very hard to follow in many cases and required a lot of attention to avoid invalid states. Now there is a helper class called the NodeConverter, which is passed to nodes and implements a much simpler API for this process. Nodes can add operations and explicit connections as before, but defining "external" links to the inputs/outputs of the original node now uses mapping instead of directly modifying link data. Input data (node graph) and result (operations graph) are cleanly separated. == Removed Redundant Data Structures == A few redundant data structures have been removed, notably the SocketConnection. These are only needed temporarily during graph construction. For executing the compositor operations it is perfectly sufficient to store only the direct input link pointers. A common pointer indirection is avoided this way (which might also give a little performance improvement). == Avoid virtual recursive functions == Recursive virtual functions are evil. They are very hard to follow during debugging. At least in the parts this patch is concerned with these functions have been replaced by a non-virtual recursive core function (which might then call virtual non-recursive functions if needed). See for example NodeOperationBuilder::group_operations.

2013-05-10	Fix for #35291, Deleting 'Group Output' node in compositor causes Segfault. ↵	Lukas Toenne
	A group without an output node in compositor would leave the original Node instance in the graph with outgoing connections. This causes trouble because the Node is expected to be a NodeOperation. Now group nodes always get disconnected and if no output node is present will use the default group output values (which is slightly less confusing than using input values from connected nodes).

2013-03-18	Merge of the PyNodes branch (aka "custom nodes") into trunk.	Lukas Toenne
	PyNodes opens up the node system in Blender to scripters and adds a number of UI-level improvements. === Dynamic node type registration === Node types can now be added at runtime, using the RNA registration mechanism from python. This enables addons such as render engines to create a complete user interface with nodes. Examples of how such nodes can be defined can be found in my personal wiki docs atm [1] and as a script template in release/scripts/templates_py/custom_nodes.py [2]. === Node group improvements === Each node editor now has a tree history of edited node groups, which allows opening and editing nested node groups. The node editor also supports pinning now, so that different spaces can be used to edit different node groups simultaneously. For more ramblings and rationale see (really old) blog post on code.blender.org [3]. The interface of node groups has been overhauled. Sockets of a node group are no longer displayed in columns on either side, but instead special input/output nodes are used to mirror group sockets inside a node tree. This solves the problem of long node lines in groups and allows more adaptable node layout. Internal sockets can be exposed from a group by either connecting to the extension sockets in input/output nodes (shown as empty circle) or by adding sockets from the node property bar in the "Interface" panel. Further details such as the socket name can also be changed there.

2013-02-17	Added option for group node buffering in the compositor.	Monique Dewanchand
	Justa cluster did not have enough memory to handle all Mango 4k scenes. Option is default disabled and can be enabled in the performance panel. - At Mind -

2013-02-03	One fix for bug [#33785] compositor is (unnecessarily?) slow	Monique Dewanchand
	Added additional buffers - new subtree - for groupnodes. One needs to be aware of how groupnodes should be created. Having translate & scale nodes, with the translate inside the groupnode and the scale node outside, causes artefacts. Both should be inside or outside the groupnode. Same holds for other distort nodes.

2012-06-10	Fix for Tile group nodes with internally unconnected outputs, this was ↵	Lukas Toenne
	crashing due to missing constant value operations for such outputs. The SocketProxyNode now checks connection of the input socket on conversion, so this also simplifies usage of proxy nodes quite a bit.
