node materials.
Area and region listener callbacks now get the screen and area pointers passed, so
they can do more fine grained checks to see if redraw is really needed, for example
depending on the 3D view drawtype.

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.

* Changing Material Preview type (Sphere, Monkey...) should not trigger ND_SHADING_DRAW. Caused Cycles 3D View render to re-start.
It now only triggers an ND_SHADER update, which will be handled inside the Properties Editor Listener and executes a Preview Re-Render.

Shader nodes didn't redraw correct on preview-type changes.
Also made shader node previews draw nicely, without flashing empty images.

Added option to display object's diffuse color multiplied by sculpting
mask. This option could be found in Options panel of toolshelf when in
sculpting mode.
Thanks to Nicholas and Brecht for reviewing the patch!

the render branch.
When a material is linked in and has a light group override, this can now use
a local group in the scene file, by replacing the linked light group with a
local group that has the same name. A use case might be controlling the specular
highlight on linked character's eyes per scene.

It was already possible to assign any value to a socket with node linking, so
this shouldn't cause any new issues.
Also raised the limits on the math nodes, with a patch by Agustin Benavidez.

Note about long lines: I did not touch to two pieces of code (because I don’t see any way to keep a nicely formated, compact code, with shorter lines):
* The node types definitions into rna_nodetree_types.h
* The vgroup name functions into rna_particle.c

Addresses:
* C++ comments.
* Spaces after if/for/while/switch statements.
* Spaces around assignment operators.

This commit introduces bicubic bump map capabilities for the viewport for OpenGL 3.0+ capable GPUs.
To use the functionality change the bump mapping method to "best quality"
Previous "best quality" setting becomes "medium quality" now.
For non OpenGL 3.0 GPUs this becomes the same as "medium quality"
Also:
* added tooltip descriptions to the bump method settings.
* modified the shader to ommit extraneous matrix multiplications for matrices already provided by OpenGL.

by Gaia Clary.
Rationale: the name was confusing and not always used consistently, and this
map itself is not something that can be layered, rather the map can be used
as texture coordinates in some layered setup.
The original intent was to indicate this contained more than just UV's, but
the game engine settings have already been moved out, and apparently users
didn't really get this from the name anyway.

The internal render engine does not support them, and they are not accesible in
the UI yet, but cycles will use them.

Summary:
========
The idea here is to move the texface options into the material panel.
For images with the change please visit:
http://code.blender.org/index.php/2011/09/bge-material-texface-changes
1 - Some of the legacy problems 2.49 and 2.5x has with the texface system:
==========================================================================
1.1) Shadow, Bilboard and Halo are mutual exclusive (in the code), yet you can
select a face to be more than one mode.
1.2) Sort only works for blend Alpha yet it's an option regardless of the
Transparency Blend you pick.
1.3) Shared doesn't affect anything in BGE.
1.4) ObColor only works for Text objects (old bitmap texts) when using Texture
Face Materials. (not address yet, I so far ignored obcolor)
2 - Notes:
============
2.1) Now "Use Face Textures" in material Option panel will work in Multitexture
even if there is no texture channel.
2.2) In FaceTexture mode it will use TexFace all the time, even if you don't
check the "Use Texture Face" option in the UI. It's a matter of decision, since
the code for either way is there. I decided by the solution that makes the
creation of a material fast - in this mode the user doesn't need to mess with
textures or this "Use Texture Face" option at all. I'm not strong in my opinion
here. But I think if we don't have this then what is the point of the Texture
Face mode?
2.3) I kept references for tface only when we need the image, UV or the tiling
setting. It should help later when/if we split the Image and UV layers from the
tface struct (Campbell and Brecht proposal).
3 - Changes in a Nutshell:
==========================
3.1) "Texture Face" panel (in the Mesh/Object Data panel) no longer exists. Those settings are all part of the material properties, visible when Game Render is set.
3.2) "Texture Face" Shading mode (in the Render panel) is now called “Single Texture”, it needs a material for special settings (e.g. Billboard, Alpha Sort, …).
3.3) New options in the Material Panel
* Shadeless option in the Material panel is now supported for all three Shading modes.
* Physics is now toggleable, this is the old Collision option.
* Two Side (on) is now called Back Culling (off).
* Alpha Sort is one of the Alpha options, together (and mutually exclusive) to Alpha Blend, Alpha Clip, Add and Opaque (i.e. solid).
* Shadow, Billboard and Halo are grouped in the “Face Orientation” property.
* "Face Textures" and "Face Textures Alpha" (under Options) can be used for all but GLSL shading mode (to be supported in GLSL eventually).
* The backend in the game engine is still the same as before. The only changes are in the interface and in the way you need to think your materials. The bottomline is: It’s no longer possible to share materials between faces that do not share the same game properties.
4 - Acknowledgment:
==================
Mike Pan for the design discussions, and testing along the whole development process.
Vitor Balbio for the first hands-on code with the interface changes. That helped me a lot to push me into work on that.
Benoit Bolsee and Brecht van Lommel for patch review (* no one reviewed the whole patch, or the latest iteractions, so I still hold liability for any problems).
Blender artists that gave feedback and helped testing the patch.

Plus a few splits of very long lines…

A mesh can consist out of multiple material. Take a character with clothing's. the skin can be a different material as the different clothing's. During compositing it is a common use-case to only do a part of the composit on only a specific material. Currently this can not be done.
In blender movies this feature is known to be implemented, but until now it never got integrated into trunk.
Proposal
With material index the Blender internal renderer will be capable of creating a buffer containing the material indexes of the first pixel-hit. This will be implemented in the same manner as the object index.
In the compositor the ID Mask node can be used to extract the information out of the Render pass.
Impact
User interface
On the properties-space the next changes will be done
Scene⇒Render layer⇒Passes⇒Material index will be added
Material⇒Options⇒Pass index will be added
DNA
Material struct will get an new field called “index”. this will be a short-type.
Material struct the field pad will be removed.
A new Render-layer pass will be added (bit 1«18)
RNA
Material RNA is updated (based on “pass index” from object)
Render layer RNA is updated (based on IndexOB)
Blender internal renderer
The Blender internal renderer will process the render pass as a copy of the Object index.
Blender compositor
The render layer input will get a new output socket called “IndexMA”
Usage
An example on how to use material index can be found at:
https://svn.blender.org/svnroot/bf-blender/trunk/lib/tests/compositing/composite_materialindex.blend
This is also example of a commit message longer than the commit itself :)

From the patch description:
ValterVB on #blendercoders submitted a long list of missing tooltips in Blender, and I went through the list and added all I knew. After that I crowdsourced the rest by putting a spreadsheet on Google docs and having people fill in the missing ones that I didn't know. So if there's some weird tooltip in there that doesn't make sense, that's why.
Thanks to Wolter, spacetug and others on BlenderArtists for contributing tooltips.

Patch from Miika Hämäläinen.
The old Material "Only Shadow" used an ancient 'best guess'
formula using Lamp Distance and some averaging for converting
shadow values to alpha.
A couple of bug reporters already complained about the not
very predictable renders. Miika fixed this by adding two
new options, to only give the true shadow factor exclusively,
or to give a result including light intensity values.
