Get Started!

Built from trunk + Vertex Paint + Select Pattern 2-Step:

• *NEW* Mesh selection operator: Edit mode > Select > Pattern (2-Step). Selects N elements (pick), skips M (leave) and continues this pattern. Similar to Select Nth operator.
   
• *NEW* Hide objects origins: In Display panel of 3D View properties shelf (N), you can turn off all object dots.
   
• use_paint_mask_vertex is enabled in Vertex Paint mode, which means vertices can be selected and filled with set color.
  Drawing on selected vertices with brush does NOT work. If you know why, please post a fix here:

Outdated (merged into trunk):

• Experimental translation patch applied (i18n branch), allows to translate UI elements inside of Blender to a certain degree
  (Enable Internation Fonts and pick language in User prefs > System tab, set path to bf-translations/branches/ in File tab and enable ui-translation addon, then right-click on elements > Edit Translation)
   

• Margin column in text editor scrolls together with text (more useful now)
   
• Tab key in Python Console indents current line, no matter where the cursor is placed, aligned to a multiple of 4 spaces,
  Shift + Tab unindents in the same way
  Ctrl + Tab inserts a tab (4 spaces), similar how Tab acts in trunk:
