Listing the "Blender Foundation" as copyright holder implied the Blender
Foundation holds copyright to files which may include work from many
developers.
While keeping copyright on headers makes sense for isolated libraries,
Blender's own code may be refactored or moved between files in a way
that makes the per file copyright holders less meaningful.
Copyright references to the "Blender Foundation" have been replaced with
"Blender Authors", with the exception of `./extern/` since these this
contains libraries which are more isolated, any changed to license
headers there can be handled on a case-by-case basis.
Some directories in `./intern/` have also been excluded:
- `./intern/cycles/` it's own `AUTHORS` file is planned.
- `./intern/opensubdiv/`.
An "AUTHORS" file has been added, using the chromium projects authors
file as a template.
Design task: #110784
Ref !110783.
Allow SVG files to have previews in the File Browser. Adds
nanosvgrast.h to extern\nanosvg\, which is an SVG rasterizer that is
an optional part of the nanosvg source.

Update nlohman/json library from 3.10.2 (released 2021-08-26) to 3.11.2
(released 2022-08-12). No specific reason for an update, just to keep
libraries up-to-date.
Release logs: https://github.com/nlohmann/json/releases
Note: The library may use `std::filesystem` now, which was an issue on
macOS for Blender before. Availability is checked first though, so this
should be fine.

Try loading ROCm 5.x libraries specifically, as the .so without version
is only part of the development package.
Thanks to Lee Ringham investigating and proposing this solution.
The library is used by OBJ/PLY exporters, and asset_catalog_tree_view.
Performance of OBJ/PLY export seems to be the same. Blender executable
gets a tiny bit smaller (-5kb) on windows.
* Add HIP-RT API functions and library loading
* Add more HIP API types and functions
* Find HIP linker executable in CMake module
* New CMake module to find HIP-RT SDK

Ref #105538
fast_float.h currently is only used by OBJ, STL and PLY I/O importers.
Update it to the latest release from upstream (from 3.4.0 2020 Nov to
4.0.0 2023 Mar).
No behavior changes, but they have optimized the performance a bit.
Importing a 6-level subdivided Suzanne OBJ file (330MB) goes from 3.5sec
down to 3.2sec on Win10, Ryzen 5950X, VS2022 build.
The goal is to solve confusion of the "All rights reserved" for licensing
code under an open-source license.
The phrase "All rights reserved" comes from a historical convention that
required this phrase for the copyright protection to apply. This convention
is no longer relevant.
However, even though the phrase has no meaning in establishing the copyright
it has not lost meaning in terms of licensing.
This change makes it so code under the Blender Foundation copyright does
not use "all rights reserved". This is also how the GPL license itself
states how to apply it to the source code:
<one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
This program is free software ...
This change does not change copyright notice in cases when the copyright
is dual (BF and an author), or just an author of the code. It also does
mot change copyright which is inherited from NaN Holding BV as it needs
some further investigation about what is the proper way to handle it.
This PR uses renderdoc for frame capturing when enabled.
It enabled an easier workflow for frame capturing.
- Capture GPU API calls from test cases
- Capture GPU API calls from background threads
- Capture GPU API calls from background rendering.
Renderdoc is an important GPU debugger used by the Eevee/
Viewport module. Previously we needed to change code in
order to record background rendering, that could on its own
lead to other side-effects.
The integration with renderdoc can be enabled using
`WITH_RENDERDOC=On` compiler option. `GPU_debug_capture_begin`
and `GPU_debug_capture_end` can be added to the section
of the code you want to debug. When running Blender inside
renderdoc this part will automatically be captured.
All GPU test cases are now guarded by these calls. In order
to capture the test cases you need to start the test cases
from renderdoc and the captured GPU API calls will appear
where each capture is a single test case.

The use of wordexp(3) permits arbitrary code execution from manually-crafted
glTF files. See https://github.com/syoyo/tinygltf/issues/368 for more details.
In practice this shouldn't be an issue for Blender since the GlTF data isn't
manually crafted but from the OpenXR runtime (a bit like a driver). But
updating the library to include the fix is not a big deal anyway.
Note that the warning that required the local modification is no longer present upstream since

Paths to vulkan libraries, paths and related components were
hardcoded in the platform cmake file. This patch separates
this by using adding CMake modules for Vulkan and ShaderC.
This change has only been applied to the macOs configuration as
that is currently our main platform for development. Other platforms
will be added during the development of the Vulkan back-end.
These warnings can reveal errors in logic, so quiet them by checking
if the features are enabled before using variables or by assigning
empty strings in some cases.
- Check CMAKE_THREAD_LIBS_INIT is set before use as CMake docs
note that this may be left unset if it's not needed.
- Remove BOOST/OPENVDB/VULKAN references when disable.
- Define INC_SYS even when empty.
- Remove PNG_INC from freetype (not defined anywhere).
