[Soc-2014-dev] Weekly Report #3 Shape Key Enhancements

[Grigory Revzin]

Hello! Sorry for being late, had a lenghty end-of-term procedure on my
Probability Theory course. Still Friday in Amsterdam though!

This week's progress:
- It was a big mistake to believe that everyone mostly agrees with the
proposed stuff! After a bunch of reviews (thanks qurq, silkdigit and
Aligorith!)
- So after these reviews, I started reformulating the targets and wanted
features, especially for the midterm. [1] I'll be happy if anyone will take
a look - need to have the midterm targets approved!
- After reviews, a decision was made to drop the UI parts of the proposal.
So I'll be very happy for feature suggestions for the Finals now. Anyone
who thinks some feature is going to be useful, please pole me over email or
an irc or just add them on the [4] page!
- Started fixing a bug/limitation in manipulator drawing code [3]
- Got the shape key editmode recalculation code close to its final form.
Dropped the pointless Apply Shape Keys in Editmode emulation; just using
the shape key modifier now and it makes things much simpler.

Next week:
- Finish fixing the manipulator and constraint drawing  and then move to
the undo optimizations.
- Do some profiling on hashing performance. There's always a way to speed
these up a little...
- Choose features for finals, adjust features for midterm.


Problems:
- Reviews are really helpful, but it's not that easy to poke people into
doing them :) Once again, I ask anyone with some spare time to take a look
at [2] and then [1]!
- Finals are now on the horizon... Why is gsoc scleduled that way, would be
a ton better to have July-August-September :/ Next week is full-time expect
Monday and Tuesday.

Thanks,
- Grigory
