This is the first half of the commit, it's going to be reviewed further.
It also depends on other work in node drawing (to not reshuffle order on
every select/activate).
At least it works quite nice for the shortcuts shift [ and shift ]

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.

This follows the naming in the View3D space, since this vector is used for essentially the same purpose (adding nodes at a specific location), although not used for any transform origin and not displayed in the editor.
Note: While renaming DNA properties is usually dangerous and can break files, in this case it is possible because the mx/my values are only used at runtime.

By holding shift and "cutting" a node link a new reroute helper node can be inserted. This consists of a single socket that can be used to insert additional connection points into a link. This can be used to keep a connection point in the tree when deleting a node, or to control the path of long connections for layout cleanup.

in particular.
For an detailed user-level description of new features see the following blogpost:

TL;DR:
* Frame node gets more usable bounding-box behavior
* Node resizing has helpful mouse cursor indicators and works on all borders
* Node selection/active colors are themeable independently
* Customizable background colors for nodes (useful for frames visual
distinction).

Previously we had three versions, Select/Deselect, Select or Deselect, and (De)select, choosen the third (shortest) one for now.

sockets in operators. This ensure that sockets are not selected on their own (parent node is always selected too).
|
|
user can end up with unexpectedly selected nodes, since socket selection allows selecting inputs and outputs from different nodes, which in turn also mean the parent nodes are selected. This fits the workflow better, you already needed to press shiftkey before to use the auto-connect operator. It will also solve some problems with the upcoming reroute nodes, where the node is basically a single socket.

selected as a sub-selection of nodes and are then preferred by the auto-connect operator. This makes it easier to create precise links over long distances as an alternative to the click & hold operator.
Socket selection is indicated by a simple white highlight circle.
Multiple inputs can be selected by holding SHIFTKEY (just like regular node select). Only one output socket can be selected at a time for each node, but several outputs in different nodes are allowed.
The auto-connect operator will prefer selected sockets on nodes for creating links. If either the output or input side have no selected sockets it will fall back to the previous behavior of chosing 'best' sockets first (colors, then vectors, then values). This could be improved in the future, but is out of scope here.

The buttons for "hiding" (collapsing) a node, hiding unlinked sockets, additional options, the preview and for opening a node group were all using a custom mouse test function, which was broken. They now use actual buttons instead of just displaying icons. Before executing the respective operators the button's node has to be selected and activated, so the buttons use an intermediate handle function, which selects the node and then calls the operator.

Added "Extend" flag to border select operators for editors:
- UV Editor
- Sequencer
- NLA
- Info Space
- Graph Editor
- File Browser
- Clip Editor
- Action Editor
- Channels and markers regions
Can be used for custom keymaps.

Plus a few cuts in very long lines…

This branch adds mostly organizational improvements to the node system by renaming the node folders and files. A couple of internal features have been added too.

use mouse coords as int rather then short.
this problem still happens on linux because of XTranslateCoordinates

of input/output sockets. Those can be linked to internal nodes just like links between regular nodes. In addition group sockets can be renamed and have a defined order, which can be modified, and they can be removed again.
More details can be found in the patch tracker description (#24883) and on the code.blender.org development blog.

tracks too, instead of only sliding around on the track they were
defined on.
- Adding description fields for many (older) operators that lacked
them
|
|
MAKE_ID, FILE_MAXDIR, moved the generic defines to BLI_utildefines.h.
no functional changes.
|
|
- New Node editor now opens with larger view, the default
was like zoomed in factor 2.
- Add node via menu now shows new node more visible
- Click on (material) node now doesn't re-render the entire
tree anymore, much nicer.
- Duplicate node creates preview image immediate
