This new discontinuity filter performs actions on the entire Euler
rotation, rather than only on the individual X/Y/Z channels. This makes
it fix a wider range of discontinuities, for example those in T52744.
The filter now runs twice on the selected channels, in this order:
- New: Convert X+Y+Z rotation to matrix, then back to Euler angles.
- Old: Add/remove factors of 360° to minimize jumps.
The messaging is streamlined; it now reports how many channels were
filtered, and only warns (instead of errors) when there was an actual
problem with the selected channels (like selecting three or more
channels, but without X/Y/Z triplet).
A new kernel function `BKE_fcurve_keyframe_move_value_with_handles()` is
introduced, to make it possible to move a keyframe's value and move its
handles at the same time.

Write custom properties (aka ID properties) to Alembic, to the
`.userProperties` compound property.
Manifest Task: https://developer.blender.org/T50725
Scalar properties (so single-value/non-array properties) are written as
single-element array properties to Alembic. This is also what's done by
Houdini and Maya exporters, so it seems to be the standard way of doing
things. It also simplifies the implementation.
Two-dimensional arrays are flattened by concatenating all the numbers
into a single array. This is because ID properties have a limited type
system. This means that a 3x3 "matrix" could just as well be a list of
three 3D vectors.
Alembic has two container properties to store custom data:
- `.userProperties`, which is meant for properties that aren't
necessarily understood by other software packages, and
- `.arbGeomParams`, which can contain the same kind of data as
`.userProperties`, but can also specify that these vary per face of a
mesh. This property is mostly intended for renderers.
Most industry packages write their custom data to `.arbGeomParams`.
However, given their goals I feel that `.userProperties` is the more
appropriate one for Blender's ID Properties.
The code is a bit more involved than I would have liked. An
`ABCAbstractWriter` has a `uniqueptr` to its `CustomPropertiesExporter`,
but the `CustomPropertiesExporter` also has a pointer back to its owning
`ABCAbstractWriter`. It's the latter pointer that I'm not too happy
with, but it has a reason. Getting the aforementioned `.userProperties`
from the Alembic library will automatically create it if it doesn't
exist already. If it's not used to actually add custom properties to, it
will crash the Alembic CLI tools (and maybe others too). This is what
the pointer back to the `ABCAbstractWriter` is used for: to get the
`.userProperties` at the last moment, when it's 100% sure at least one
custom property will be written.

Add a new depsgraph builder class that includes invisible objects and

Alembic supports three options for visibility, "visible", "inherited",
and "hidden". This means that parents can be hidden and still have
visible children (contrary to USD, where invisibility is used to prune
an entire scene graph subtree). Because of this, the visibility is
stored on the transform node, as that represents the Object in Blender

This commit extends the refactor to the bmesh implementation too, so

Tests are adjusted and still pass.
Each duplicated (a.k.a. instanced) object has a Persistent ID, which
identifies a dupli within the context of its duplicator. This ID
consists of several numbers when there are nested duplis (for example a
mesh instancing empties on its vertices, where each empty instances a
collection). When exporting to Alembic/USD, these are used to uniquely
name the duplicated objects in the export.
This commit reverses the order of the persistent ID numbers, so that the
first number identifies the first level of recursion. This produces
trees like this:
ABC
`--Triangle
|--Triangle
|--Empty-1
| `--Pole-1-0
| |--Pole
| `--Block-1-1
| `--Block
|--Empty
| `--Pole-0
| |--Pole
| `--Block-1
| `--Block
|--Empty-2
| `--Pole-2-0
| |--Pole
| `--Block-2-1
| `--Block
`--Empty-0
`--Pole-0-0
|--Pole
`--Block-0-1
`--Block
It is now clearer that `Pole-2-0` and `Block-2-1` are instanced by
`Empty-2`. Before this commit, they would have been named `Pole-0-2` and
`Block-1-2`.
Exporting a scene to USD or Alembic would fail when there are multiple
duplicates of parent & child objects, duplicated by the same object. For
example, this happens when such a hierarchy of objects is contained in a
collection, and that collection is instanced multiple times by mesh
vertices. The problem here is that the 'parent' pointer of each
duplicated object points to the real parent; Blender would not figure
out properly which duplicated parent should be used.
This is now resolved by keeping track of the persistent ID of each
duplicated instance, which makes it possible to reconstruct the
parent-child relations of duplicated objects. This does use up some
memory for each dupli, so it could be heavy to export a Spring scene
(with all the pebbles and leaves), but it's only a small addition on top
of the USD/Alembic writer objects that have to be created anyway. At
least with this patch, they're created correctly.
Code-wise, the following changes are made:
- The export graph (that maps export parent to its export children) used
to have as its key (Object, Duplicator). This is insufficient to
correctly distinguish between multiple duplis of the same object by
the same duplicator, so this is now extended to (Object, Duplicator,
Persistent ID). To make this possible, new classes `ObjectIdentifier`
and `PersistentID` are introduced.
- Finding the parent of a duplicated object is done via its persistent
ID. In Python notation, the code first tries to find the parent
instance where `child_persistent_id[1:] == parent_persistent_id[1:]`.
If that fails, the dupli with persistent ID `child_persistent_id[1:]`
is used as parent.

The Alembic exporter has been restructured by leverages the
`AbstractHierarchyIterator` introduced by the USD exporter. The produced
Alembic files have not changed much (details below), as the Alembic
writing code has simply been moved from the old exporter to the new. How
the export hierarchy is handled changed a lot, though, and also the way
in which transforms are computed. As a result, T71395 is fixed.
Differences between the old and new exporter, in terms of the produced
Alembic file:
- Duplicated objects now have a unique numerical suffix.
- Matrices are computed differently, namely by simply computing the
evaluated transform of the object relative to the evaluated transform
of its export-parent. This fixes {T71395}, but otherwise should
produce the same result as before (but with simpler code).
Compared to the old Alembic exporter, Subdivision modifiers are now
disabled in a cleaner, more efficient way (they are disabled when
exporting with the "Apply Subdivisions" option is unchecked). Previously
the exporter would move to a new frame, disable the modifier, evaluate
the object, and enable the modifier again. This is now done before
exporting starts, and modifiers are only restored when exporting ends.
Some issues with the old Alembic exporter that have NOT been fixed in
this patch:
- Exporting NURBS patches and curves (see T49114 for example).
- Exporting flattened hierarchy in combination with dupli-objects. This
seems to be broken in the old Alembic exporter as well, but nobody
reported this yet.

Blender now always exports transforms as as "inheriting", as Blender has
no concept of parenting without inheriting the transform.
Previously only objects with an actual parent were marked as
"inheriting", and parentless objects as "non-inheriting". However,
certain packages (for example USD's Alembic plugin) are incompatible
with non-inheriting transforms and will completely ignore such
transforms, placing all such objects at the world origin.
When importing non-inheriting transforms from Alembic, Blender will
break the parent-child relation and thus force the child to (correctly)
interpret the transform as world matrix.
Other types already had spaces, periods, and colons replaced by
underscores. The upcoming Alembic exporter (based on the
`AbstractHierarcyIterator` class) will be more consistent and apply the
same naming rules everywhere. This is in preparation for that change.
The `get_…_name()` functions in `abc_util.{cc,h}` will be removed then.
Previously the Alembic exporter exported a mesh object to
`{object.name}/{object.name}Shape`. Now it exports to
`{object.name}/{mesh.name}` instead. The same change also applies to
other object data types.
Note that the code now is a bit hackish, as `m_name` is set even in
cases where it isn't used. This hackishness was already there, though,
but it's now just more visible. This will all be cleaned up when the
Alembic exporter is ported to use the `AbstractHierarchyImporter`
structure of the Universal Scene Description (USD) exporter.

Main change from user side, besides that all pointers should now be

(and re-code it in a more correct way then).
This is the main part of work done here, it aims at uniformizing and
sanitizing that 'deep copy' process for supported IDs (currently scenes,
collections and objects).
Note that there will be more follow up commits after that one, but this
should be the most risky and changing one.
This was caused by a side-effect of our exporting code's memory
management (Alembic considers data "written" and "final" when its C++
objects go out of scope) in combination with my change in
rB65574463fa2d. I removed an "only export UVs on the first frame" clause
because it was unclear why this restriction was there. As it turns out,
it breaks the export of the 2nd and subsequent UV maps on an animated
mesh. Effectively, on every frame the Alembic library thought we want to
create a new UV map, instead of continuing to write a new frame of data
to the existing one.
This is resolved by keeping a reference to the C++ objects for the UV
maps in memory while the exporter is running.
When the Child Of constraint is owned by a bone, before the constraint is
run the matrix is converted from world to pose space. However, setting the

just like before this patch, except that this patch adds the
overridability.
- On macOS/Linux, the `${PYTHON_EXECUTABLE}` as found by CMake.
Every platform should now have a value (configured by the user or
detected by CMake) for `TEST_PYTHON_EXE`, so there is no need to allow
running without. This also removes the need to have some Python files
marked as executable.
If `TEST_PYTHON_EXE` is not user-configured, and thus the above default
is used, a status message is logged by CMake. I've seen this a lot in
other projects, and I like that it shows which values are auto-detected.
However, it's not common in Blender, so if we want we can either remove
it now, or remove it after the buildbot has been set up correctly.

* Option to disable positional tracking. Keeps the current position (calculated
based on the VR eye center pose) when enabled while a VR session is running.
* Some regular viewport settings for the VR view
* RNA/Python-API to query and set VR session state information.
* WM-XR: Layer tying Ghost-XR to the Blender specific APIs/data
* wmSurface API: drawable, non-window container (manages Ghost-OpenGL and GPU
context)
* DNA/RNA for management of VR session settings
* `--debug-xr` and `--debug-xr-time` commandline options
* Utility batch & config file for using the Oculus runtime on Windows.
* Most VR data is runtime only. The exception is user settings which are saved

This allows fast access to various arrays in the Python API.
Most notably, `image.pixels` can be accessed much more efficiently now.
**Benchmark**
Below are the results of a benchmark that compares different ways to
set/get all pixel values. I do the tests on 2048x2048 rgba images.
The benchmark tests the following dimensions:
- Byte vs. float per color channel
- Python list vs. numpy array containing floats
- `foreach_set` (new) vs. `image.pixels = ...` (old)
```
Pixel amount: 2048 * 2048 = 4.194.304
Byte buffer size: 16.8 mb
Float buffer size: 67.1 mb
Set pixel colors:
byte - new - list: 271 ms
byte - new - buffer: 29 ms
byte - old - list: 350 ms
byte - old - buffer: 2900 ms
float - new - list: 249 ms
float - new - buffer: 8 ms
float - old - list: 330 ms
float - old - buffer: 2880 ms
Get pixel colors:
byte - list: 128 ms
byte - buffer: 9 ms
float - list: 125 ms
float - buffer: 8 ms
```
**Observations**
The best set and get speed can be achieved with buffers and a float image,
at the cost of higher memory consumption. Furthermore, using buffers when
using `pixels = ...` is incredibly slow, because it is not optimized.
Optimizing this is possible, but might not be trivial (there were multiple
attempts afaik).
Float images are faster due to overhead introduced by the api for byte images.
If I profiled it correctly, a lot of time is spend in the `[0, 1] -> {0, ..., 255}`
conversion. The functions doing that conversion is `unit_float_to_uchar_clamp`.
While I have an idea on how it can be optimized, I do not know if it can be done
without changing its functionality slightly. Performance wise the best solution
would be to not do this conversion at all and accept byte input from the api
user directly, but that seems to be a more involved task as well.

This fixes {T70269}.
Before this commit there was complicated code to try and compute the
correct parent inverse matrix for the 'Child Of' and 'Object Solver'
constraints outside the constraint evaluation. This was done mostly
correctly, but did have some issues. The Set Inverse operator now defers
this computation to be performed during constraint evaluation by just
setting a flag. If the constraint is disabled, and thus tagging it for
update in the depsgraph is not enough to trigger immediate evaluation,
evaluation is forced by temporarily enabling it.
This fix changes the way how the inverse matrix works when some of the
channels of the constraint are disabled. Before this commit, the channel
flags were used to filter both the parent and the inverse matrix. This
meant that it was impossible to make an inverse matrix that would
actually fully neutralize the effect of the constraint. Now only the
parent matrix is filtered, while inverse is applied fully. As a result,
pressing the 'Set Inverse' matrix produces the same transformation as
disabling the constraint. This is also reflected in the changed values
in the 'Child Of' unit test.
This change is not backward compatible, but it should be OK because the
old way was effectively unusable, so it is unlikely anybody relied on
it.
The change in matrix for the Object Solver constraint is due to a
different method of computing it, which caused a slightly different
floating point error that was slightly bigger than allowed by the test,
so I updated the matrix values there as well.
This patch was original written by @angavrilov and subsequently updated
by me.
Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D6091
The 'Clear Inverse' operator didn't properly update the constraint, so
it didn't do anything until the entire depsgraph was updated. It's now
properly tagged for update.
In the collections unit test file developers can now disable layer
collections and declutter the 3D Viewport while working in
`constraints.blend`, without influencing the actual unit tests themselves.
Currently this only tests the Child Of constraint. My aim is to cover
constraints with tests before they are refactored/altered.
No functional changes.
There are two issues solved in this commit:
- Our Windows buildbot has slightly different floating point errors than
the Linux one, which meant a larger delta was required for float
comparisons.
- The test performs an export to a temporary Alembic file and
subsequently imports it. Deleting the temporary file was impossible on
Windows because it was still in use. This is now resolved by first
loading the default blend file before deleting the Alembic file.
The Alembic importer now works with local coordinates. Previously, the
importer converted transformations from Alembic to world coordinates
before processing them further; this processing often included
re-converting to local coordinates. This change made it possible to
remove some code that assumed that a child transform was only read after
its parent transform.
Blender's Alembic code follows the Maya convention, where in the zero
orientation the camera looks forward instead of down. This extra
rotation is now handled more consistently, and now also properly handles
children of cameras. This fixes T73269.
Unit tests were added to at least ensure that the importer and exporter
are compatible with each other, and that static and animated camera
transforms are handled in the same way.
This rename is to prepare for a future addition to the unit test file.
Currently it's named "import" and I will add an export test as well. The
rename is a separate commit to easily see the difference between the
rename and the addition of another test.

The problematic video from T68091 clearly has an invalid stream duration
(it would be 55 centuries long if interpreted at 30 FPS, and given that
it was recorded with an Android 9 device, it's unlikely that recording
started that long ago). I've added a heuristic to check the stream
duration against the container duration; if the stream is more than 4x
longer than the container, Blender now falls back to the container
duration.
We could use MIN(stream duration, container duration), but there might
be video files out there where the container duration is less precise
than the stream duration; they are measured in different units of time
(microseconds for the container vs. frames for the stream).

The difference now is that it now ensures all referenced data-blocks are

The call will ensure both relations and datablocks are updated.
This way we don't allow access to some known bad state of the graph,
and also making explicit that getting update dependency graph is not
cheap.
- Access to evaluated ID is now possible via id.evaluated_get().
It was already possible to get evaluated ID via dependency graph,
but that was a bit confusing why access to original is done via ID
and to evaluated via depsgraph.
If datablock is not covered by dependency graph it will be returned
as-is.
- Similarly, request for original from an ID which is not evaluated
will return ID as-is.
- Removed scene.update().
This is very expensive to update all the view layers.
- Added depsgraph.update().
Now when temporary changes to objects are to be done, this is to
happen on original object and then dependency graph is to be
updated.
- Changed object.to_mesh() to behave the following way:
* When is used for original object modifiers are ignored.
For meshes this acts similar to mesh-copy, not very useful but
allows to keep code paths similar (i.e. for exporter which has
Apply Modifiers option it's only matter choosing between original
and evaluated object, the to_mesh() part can stay the same).
For curves this gives a mesh which is constructed from displist
without taking own modifiers and modifiers of bevel/taper objects
into account.
For metaballs this gives empty mesh.
Polygonization of metaball is not possible from a single object.
* When is used for evaluated object modifiers are always applied.
In fact, no evaluation is happening, the mesh is either copied
as-is, or constructed from current state of curve cache.
Arguments to apply modifiers and calculate original coordinates (ORCO,
aka undeformed coordinates) are removed. The ORCO is to be calculated
as part of dependency graph evaluation.

Blender startup time and shader compilation is a big factor when running
hundreds of tests, so now all renders in the same ctest run in the same
process. If a test crashes, the remaining tests in the same category will
be marked as skipped.
Benchmarked on a quad core with ctest -j8.
cycles: 118.1s -> 94.3s
eevee: 66.2s -> 29.2s
workbench: 31.7s -> 8.6s
Being able to compare Eevee reference images is useful for refactoring I'm
working on so might as well add them now, even if we can still improve them.
Workbench tests are just rendering the same files as Cycles and Eevee. This
doesn't really tests many workbench settings until we add tests specifically
for them, but does cover how it it handles the different object types.
It makes no sense to load add-ons here, we already do that (in a more
complete way) in load_addons test, this is only adding overhead and
doubling code to maintain).
Also do not try to load-as-modules add-ons that are not 2.8-ready, and
some other misc fix.
load_py_modules test should be passing again now.
Thanks to @sergey who did part of the work here as well.
To keep running these tests relatively fast and practical to run often,
running it on all .blend files is a bit much. So now we only run it on
files from this directory.
Additionally this adds supports for following symlinks, so that you can
easily symlinks to other directories if you want to tests extra files
which may have linked libraries.
- Was setting active state, making it necessary to backup/restore
active object in cases where this isn't needed.
Existing scripts are explicitly setting the active object when needed.
- Use a boolean select arg (toggle selection wasn't used anywhere).
- Add an optional view layer argument since scripts should be able to
operate outside the user context.
Currently some modes share tool keymaps, we might want to disable
this since it's confusing editing one thing in multiple places.
However this should be resolved in the tool definitions.
The ClayEngine was introduced to test the blender2.8 architecture during
development. As currently we have the wanted features implemented with
matcaps we are going to remove the clay engine as it was never intended
to be an official releasable engine
Note: The test cases are never run. But when enabled will be skipped as
they were implemented over the Clay Engine
This adds Eevee render tests using the Cycles files. Currently it must
be enabled by setting WITH_OPENGL_RENDER_TESTS=ON. Once we have reference
images we can enable it by default.
Some of the Cycles and Eevee tests are also currently broken due to
modifier and particle changes.

OVERVIEW
* In 2.7 terminology, all layers and groups are now collection datablocks.
* These collections are nestable, linkable, instanceable, overrideable, ..
which opens up new ways to set up scenes and link + override data.
* Viewport/render visibility and selectability are now a part of the collection
and shared across all view layers and linkable.
* View layers define which subset of the scene collection hierarchy is excluded
for each. For many workflows one view layer can be used, these are more of an
advanced feature now.
OUTLINER
* The outliner now has a "View Layer" display mode instead of "Collections",
which can display the collections and/or objects in the view layer.
* In this display mode, collections can be excluded with the right click menu.
These will then be greyed out and their objects will be excluded.
* To view collections not linked to any scene, the "Blender File" display mode
can be used, with the new filtering option to just see Colleciton datablocks.
* The outliner right click menus for collections and objects were reorganized.
* Drag and drop still needs to be improved. Like before, dragging the icon or
text gives different results, we'll unify this later.
LINKING AND OVERRIDES
* Collections can now be linked into the scene without creating an instance,
with the link/append operator or from the collections view in the outliner.
* Collections can get static overrides with the right click menu in the outliner,
but this is rather unreliable and not clearly communicated at the moment.
* We still need to improve the make override operator to turn collection instances
into collections with overrides directly in the scene.
PERFORMANCE
* We tried to make performance not worse than before and improve it in some
cases. The main thing that's still a bit slower is multiple scenes, we have to
change the layer syncing to only updated affected scenes.
* Collections keep a list of their parent collections for faster incremental
updates in syncing and caching.
* View layer bases are now in a object -> base hash to avoid quadratic time
lookups internally and in API functions like visible_get().
VERSIONING
* Compatibility with 2.7 files should be improved due to the new visibility
controls. Of course users may not want to set up their scenes differently
now to avoid having separate layers and groups.
* Compatibility with 2.8 is mostly there, and was tested on Eevee demo and Hero
files. There's a few things which are know to be not quite compatible, like
nested layer collections inside groups.
* The versioning code for 2.8 files is quite complicated, and isolated behind
#ifdef so it can be removed at the end of the release cycle.
KNOWN ISSUES
* The G-key group operators in the 3D viewport were left mostly as is, they
need to be modified still to fit better.
* Same for the groups panel in the object properties. This needs to be updated
still, or perhaps replaced by something better.
* Collections must all have a unique name. Less restrictive namespacing is to
be done later, we'll have to see how important this is as all objects within
the collections must also have a unique name anyway.
* Full scene copy and delete scene are exactly doing the right thing yet.

Both the scene and workspace had an active view layer, and it was confusing
which settings were being used or displayed where. Now we always have one,
so there is no mismatch.
The "View Layers" tab in the properties editor is now "View Layer", no longer
showing a list of layers. Instead view layers can be added and removed with
the workspace view layer selector. They are also listed and selectable in the
outliner.
Single layer rendering uses the active view layer from the workspace.
This fixes bugs where the wrong active view layer was used, but more places
remain that are wrong and are now using the first view layer in the scene.
These are all marked with BKE_view_layer_context_active_PLACEHOLDER.
Folders removed entirely:
* //extern/recastnavigation
* //intern/decklink
* //intern/moto
* //source/blender/editors/space_logic
* //source/blenderplayer
* //source/gameengine
This includes DNA data and any reference to the BGE code in Blender itself.
We are bumping the subversion.
Pending tasks:
* Tile/clamp code in image editor draw code.
* Viewport drawing code (so much of this will go away because of BI removal
that we can wait until then to remove this.
The tests as they are now make string comparisons. This only works
on Windows because the reference files look different for different
operating systems because of different number formatting.
The collada tests need a complete rework (wip)
Currently only covering handful of files from reports about wrong fps detected.
It will need D3083 applied first to get tests passed, also tests themselves
are to be committed to svn.
But there are some python code which needs to be reviewed, like blendfile
passed to run_blender().

This started with a fix for an animated Object Hierarchy. Then i decided to cleanup and optimize a bit. But at the end this has become a more or less full rewrite of the Animation Exporter. All of this happened in a separate local branch and i have retained all my local commits to better see what i have done.
Brief description:
* I fixed a few issues with exporting keyframed animations of object hierarchies where the objects have parent inverse matrices which differ from the Identity matrix.
* I added the option to export sampled animations with a user defined sampling rate (new user interface option)
* I briefly tested Object Animations and Rig Animations.
What is still needed:
* Cleanup the code
* Optimize the user interface
* Do the Documentation

We were not passing a scene collection parent to the BKE_collection_add
function, which in turn made syncing not work.
Right now we:
* Explicitly pass the master collection in this case
* Fallback to the master collection in other cases
With unittest.
Collection A [disabled]
-> Collection B
-> Collection C
-> object
Object should be invisible, but it is not. Reported by Antonio Vazquez.
Bug introduced on: 1f5106de61
This fixes any function that relied on these iterators such as:
* Outliner Same Type
* Metaballs
* scene.objects
We were not considering the collections when there was collections nested
to the collections nested to the master collection.
It includes a unittest.
This fixes renaming the view layer via Python.
This bug was introduced originally in 3a95bdfc65. Although I suspect it was
around for longer, since this commit didn't touch this part of the code.
But basically we need the id of the RNA property to be the one that owns
the data (view layer).
Users can change the group collection visibility in the outliner
when looking at groups.
Regular collections on the other hand don't have any special visibility control,
if you need a collection to be invisible during render, either don't link it
into the view layer used for F12, or disable it.
This includes:
* Updated unittests - update your lib/tests/layers folder.
* Subversion bump - branches be aware of that.
Note:
Although we are using eval_ctx to determine the visibility of a group collection
when rendering, the depsgraph is still using the same depsgraph for the viewport
and the render engine, so at the moment the render visibility is ignored.
Following next is a workaround for this separately to tag the groups before and
after rendering to tackle that.
Tests were broken since e8c15e0ed1.
We now get view_layer from window, not workspace, since the same workspace can
have a different view_layer depending on the window scene.
You could still create groups as before, with Ctl + G. This will create a group
with a single visible collection.
However you can also create a group from an existing collection. Just go to
the menu you get in the outliner when clicking in a collection and pick
"Create Group".
Remember to instance the group afterwards, or link it into a new scene or file.
The group and the collection are not kept in sync afterwards. You need to manually
edit the group for further changes.
All depsgraphs are sharing same object state for now, which means doing set
scene evaluation after main scene evaluation will override all modifications
done by the main scene.
This is an incomplete test since we cannot check for the
depsgraph selection value with the current API, nor can we
see if the relationship lines are being drawn.
The RenderResult struct still has a listbase of RenderLayer, but that's ok
since this is strictly for rendering.
* Subversion bump (to 2.80.2)
* DNA low level doversion (renames) - only for .blend created since 2.80 started
Note: We can't use DNA_struct_elem_find or get file version in init_structDNA,
so we are manually iterating over the array of the SDNA elements instead.
Note 2: This doversion change with renames can be reverted in a few months. But
so far it's required for 2.8 files created between October 2016 and now.

This is not the commit you are looking for ...
This is not to be used lightly. But sometimes we change the name of the collections,
the initial value they have, ... and this helps to quickly update the tests.
Originally we were not respecting the original visibility flags of the
collections. However this is required for Copy-on-write (CoW).
Remember to update the svn lib tests folder. I had to update some of the
json files there.
Also adding a new unittest for this particular issue:
Test render_layer_scene_copy_f
Commit b6d7cdd3ce changed how the mesh data
is deformed, which wasn't taken into account yet in this unit test.
Instead of directly reading the mesh vertices (which aren't animated any
more), we convert the modified mesh to a new one, and inspect those
vertices instead.
This could make output really polluted, where it'll be hard to see actual
issues.
It is still possible to have all backtraces printed using BLENDER_VERBOSE
environment variable.
Shows new, reference and diff renders, with mouse hover to flip between
new and ref for easy comparison. This generates a report.html in
build_dir/tests/cycles, stored along with the new and diff images.

At the moment libblock_remap_data_preprocess is using
FOREACH_SCENE_OBJECT to iterate over all the objects of the scene and
unlink them.
However we were storing a reference to the Base of the removed object.
Anyways, the loop is now sanitized so that this crash no longer happens.
Also now we have an unittest for this.
It tried to assert that
addons/io_blend_utils/blender_bam-unpacked.whl/__init__.py was loaded when
the io_blend_utils module was imported. However, this happens only on
demand, and not directly when importing the add-on.
Houdini writes vertex data in a different format than Blender does; Houdini
uses "face-varying scope", which means that the vertex colours are indexed
by an ever-increasing number over all vertices of all faces instead of the
vertex index.
I've also merged the read_custom_data_mcols() and read_mcols() functions,
because the latter was only called from the former, and the changes in this
commit would add yet more function parameters to pass.
By mistake, the code relied on ALEMBIC_ROOT_DIR being defined by the user
running the tests. Now CMake macros are used to correctly find the Alembic
root directory.
Example, imagine an object Cube in collections 1 and 2 where both
collections are nested to A. Now we set a "color" property as follow:
```
Scene -> GREEN
--
A -> RED
↳ 1 -> BLUE
↳ 2 -> -
```
In this case the object will be RED, because of A↳ 2.
Now if we have:
```
Scene -> GREEN
--
A -> RED
↳ 1 -> -
↳ 2 -> PINK
1 -> -
--
The object will be PINK because of A↳ 2.
Note that the (top level) collection 1 doesn't influence the object color
because there are no overrides on it. The scene render settings (GREEN
in this case) are only used as fallback if an override is not set at
all.
The ABC_export and ABC_import functions both take a as_background_job
parameter, and return a boolean.
When as_background_job=true, returns false immediately after scheduling
a background job. This was the old behaviour of this function, which makes
it very hard for scripts to do something with the data after the import
or export completes.
When as_background_job=false, performs the export synchronously, and
returns true when the export was ok, and false if there were any errors.
This allows further processing.
The Scene.alembic_export() function is deprecated, and will be removed from
Blender 2.8 in favour of calling the bpy.ops.wm.alembic_export() operator.
As such, it has been hard-coded to the old background job behaviour.
The export is still slower than needed, as the particle systems themselves
aren't disabled during the export. It's only the writing to the Alembic
file that's skipped.
Curve resolution isn't natively supported by Alembic, hence it is stored
in a user property "blender:resolution". I've looked at a Maya curves
example file, but that also didn't contain any information about curve
resolution.
Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D2634
Reviewers: kevindietrich
The order number written to Alembic is the same as we use in memory, so
the +1 wasn't needed, at least according to the reference Maya exporter
maya/AbcExport/MayaNurbsCurveWriter.cpp, function
MayaNurbsCurveWriter::write(), in the Alembic source code.
Furthermore, when writing an array of nurb orders, the curve type should
be set to kVariableOrder, otherwise the importer will ignore it.
This test checks that a set of cubes are exported with the correct
transform, both with flatten=True and flatten=False.
This commit also adds an easy to use superclass for upcoming Alembic
unit tests.
The absence of datablock properties "will certainly be resolved soon as the need for them is becoming obvious" said the [[http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Ref/Release_Notes/2.67/Python_Nodes|Python Nodes release notes]]. So this patch allows Python scripts to create ID Properties which reference datablocks.
This functionality is implemented for `PointerProperty` and now such properties can be created with Python.
In addition to the standard update callback, `PointerProperty` can have a `poll` callback (standard RNA) which is useful for search menus. For details see the test included in this patch.
