New features:
* Bump mapping now works with SSS
* Texture Blur factor for SSS, see the documentation for details:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Doc:2.6/Manual/Render/Cycles/Nodes/Shaders#Subsurface_Scattering
Work in progress for feedback:
Initial implementation of the "BSSRDF Importance Sampling" paper, which uses
a different importance sampling method. It gives better quality results in
many ways, with the availability of both Cubic and Gaussian falloff functions,
but also tends to be more noisy when using the progressive integrator and does
not give great results with some geometry. It works quite well for the
non-progressive integrator and is often less noisy there.
This code may still change a lot, so unless you're testing it may be best to
stick to the Compatible falloff function.
Skin test render and file that takes advantage of the gaussian falloff:

This commit includes all the changes made for plane tracker
in tomato branch.
Movie clip editor changes:
- Artist might create a plane track out of multiple point
tracks which belongs to the same track (minimum amount of
point tracks is 4, maximum is not actually limited).
When new plane track is added, it's getting "tracked"
across all point tracks, which makes it stick to the same
plane point tracks belong to.
- After plane track was added, it need to be manually adjusted
in a way it covers feature one might to mask/replace.
General transform tools (G, R, S) or sliding corners with
a mouse could be sued for this. Plane corner which
corresponds to left bottom image corner has got X/Y axis
on it (red is for X axis, green for Y).
- Re-adjusting plane corners makes plane to be "re-tracked"
for the frames sequence between current frame and next
and previous keyframes.
- Kayframes might be removed from the plane, using Shit-X
(Marker Delete) operator. However, currently manual
re-adjustment or "re-track" trigger is needed.
Compositor changes:
- Added new node called Plane Track Deform.
- User selects which plane track to use (for this he need
to select movie clip datablock, object and track names).
- Node gets an image input, which need to be warped into
the plane.
- Node outputs:
* Input image warped into the plane.
* Plane, rasterized to a mask.
Masking changes:
- Mask points might be parented to a plane track, which
makes this point deforming in a way as if it belongs
to the tracked plane.

This is mine and Keir's holiday code project :)

* Added nodes to separate and combine hsv colors.
Part of my GSoC 2013 project, SVN merge of r57981.

|
* Add a note to convert a Vector, Point or Normal between World <=> Camera <=> Object coordinate space.

* Added a node to convert a temperature in Kelvin to an RGB color. This can be used e.g. for lights, to easily find the right color temperature.
= Some common temperatures =
Candle light: 1500 Kelvin
Sunset/Sunrise: 1850 Kelvin
Studio lamps: 3200 Kelvin
Horizon daylight: 5000 Kelvin

Thanks to Philipp Oeser (lichtwerk), who essentially contributed to this with a patch! :)

* Change UI string for LayerWeight node to "Layer Weight" (with the gap in between), for consistency with other nodes.
|
|
* Added 2 new nodes to combine and separate HSV colors.

|
|
* First step towards a new vector transform node, to convert Points/Vectors between World/Object/Camera space.
This only contains the Blender UI, RNA... code, no Cycles integration yet.
|
|
* First step towards a Blackbody to RGB converter. You can specify a color in Kelvin inside the node.
* Only implemented for OSL atm, SVM will follow.
|
|
* Added a node to convert wavelength (in nanometer, from 380nm to 780nm) to RGB values. This can be useful to match real world colors easier.
Example render:

ToDo:
* Move some functions into an util file, maybe a common util_color.h or so.
* Test GPU, unfortunately sm_21 doesn't work for me yet.
|
|
* Added a toon bsdf node to Cycles. This was already available as OSL only closure, but is now available inside the SVM backed as well, for CPU and GPU rendering.
* There are 2 variations available, diffuse and glossy toon, selectable via a menu inside the node.

* Added a wireframe node (Input category) to get access to Mesh wireframe data.
The thickness can be controlled via a "Size" parameter, and is available in world units (default) and screen pixel size.
* Only the triangulated mesh is available now, quads is for later.

displacement
distance, and an Invert option to invert the bump effect.

well as I would like, but it works, just add a subsurface scattering node and
you can use it like any other BSDF.
It is using fully raytraced sampling compatible with progressive rendering
and other more advanced rendering algorithms we might used in the future, and
it uses no extra memory so it's suitable for complex scenes.
Disadvantage is that it can be quite noisy and slow. Two limitations that will
be solved are that it does not work with bump mapping yet, and that the falloff
function used is a simple cubic function, it's not using the real BSSRDF
falloff function yet.
The node has a color input, along with a scattering radius for each RGB color
channel along with an overall scale factor for the radii.
There is also no GPU support yet, will test if I can get that working later.

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.
