This was hard coded to 8, which can still result in a number that
jitters making the overall FPS difficult to measure.
The default is still 8, but this is now a preference that can be
increased for values that don't jitter as much.
This PR shrinks the Filmic LUT's size down without causing noticeable
difference, making the overall LUT package size smaller. There should be no
functional change on the user end.

On a user level this view transform provides much better handling of colors in
the over-exposed areas.
With this configuration the following display devices are available, including
AgX view transform for them:
* sRGB
* Display P3
* Rec.1886
* Rec.2020
NOTE: There is no Filmic view transform available for the newly added display
devices.
AgX also brings an implementation of False Colors view transform, which replaces
Filmic-based, and is available for all display devices.
The backward compatibility is preserved. The new files will default to AgX view
transform, which makes it non-forward compatible.
More technical details is available in the original PR #106355.
Please note that the PR has been split into more incremental changes when
was landing.

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.

This is the next step towards AgX view transform project.
This is a sanitization pass over the existing color space names, as well as
addition of some new spaces. For example, the name Linear makes no sense when
there are a bunch of Linear spaces. An aliases are included for backwards
compatibility.
Some of the space descriptions and family tags are also updated., which also
involves in putting `False Color` to `inactive_colorspaces` instead of using
`family: display` filtering.
The spaces are now:
- Linear components of the display spaces
- Linear Rec.709
- Linear DCI-P3 D65
- Linear Rec.2020
- Linear ACES spaces
- ACES2065-1
- ACEScg (Changed from `Linear ACEScg` to `ACEScg` since ACEScg already
implied a linear transfer function, otherwise using `Linear AP1 ACES`
might make more sense. Same goes for ACES2065-1)
- Linear FilmLight E-Gamut
This is for AgX's LUT input encoding. It can potentially be useful for interop.
- Display spaces
- sRGB
- Display P3
- Rec.1886
- Rec.2020
- Filmic Components
- Filmic Log
- Filmic sRGB

First implementation of node previews in the shader node editor. Using
the same user interface as compositor node previews, most shader nodes
can now be previewed (except group in/output and material output).
This is currently still an experimental feature, as polishing of the
user experience and performance improvements are planned. These will
be easier to do as incremental changes on this implementation.
See #110353 for details on the work that remains to be done and known
limitations.
Implementation notes:
We take advantage of the `RenderResult` available as `ImBuf` images to
store a `Render` for every viewed nested node tree present in a
`SpaceNode`. The computation is initiated at the moment of drawing nodes
overlays.
One render is started for the current nodetree, having a `ViewLayer`
associated with each previewed node. We separate the previewed nodes in
two categories: the shader ones and the non-shader ones.
- For non-shader nodes, we use AOVs which highly speed up the rendering
process by rendering every non-shader nodes at the same time. They are
rendered in the first `ViewLayer`.
- For shader nodes, we render them each in a different `ViewLayer`, by
rerouting the node to the output of the material in the preview scene.
The preview scene takes the same aspect as the Material preview scene,
and the same preview object is used.
At the moment of drawing the node overlay, we take the `Render` of the
viewed node tree and extract the `ImBuf` of the wanted viewlayer/pass
for each previewed node.

The change is motivated by using the actual CIE standard, preparing for the
Spectral Cycles, and making followup AgX integration more straight forward.
On a user level this change renames XYZ space to Linear CIE-XYZ D65, and
introduces Linear CIE-XYZ E.
The aliases are configured so that the backward compatibility is preserved.
The forward compatibility will be achieved by committing an alias name to the
3.6 release branch.

This patch includes set of smaller changes to address visual
inconsistencies and bugs:
- Strip previews are drawn under title bar
- All strip previews now disappear when there isn't enough space for
drawing
- Like the sound strip, the color strip expands to fill the whole strip
when there is little vertical space, "taking over" the strip title
Color is more important visual indicator than the name of the strip
- Disabling strip title no longer disables strip handle frame previews
- All strip previews are now be affected by the "Show overlays" toggle
- Turning off strip text overlay no longer makes the color strip
preview disappear
Use OCIO's built-in functionality for sRGB which allows to have un-clipped
range of the input colors. The lookup tables are now removed.
Should be no functional changes on the user side.
However, it is possible that this change does not preserve exact per-pixel
value due to difference in precision.

The previous commit introduced all the basic bits and pieces necessary
to support asset shelves as experimental feature, but didn't actually
add support for any specific editor. With this commit asset shelves can
be registered in 3D Views, which should soon be used by the Pose Library
add-on to replace its previous UI in the sidebar (see
blender/blender-addons#104546). Note that until then, there will still be no
actual asset shelf to display.
Also adds:
- Toggle to hide/unhide the asset shelf under "View" -> "Asset Shelf"
- 3D View theme settings for the asset shelf regions.
None of the changes are visible if the experimental option for the asset
shelf is not enabled.
Approved as part of #104831, then split off as separate commit.

This is a Step 1 of the AgX project integration, which is focused on cleaning
up legacy aspects of the configuration.
Delete all not longer used colorspaces and their LUT files. This includes:
nuke_rec709, lg10, XYZ display device and its standard view colorspace.
The nuke_rec709, lg10 were not used, and the XYZ display device was initially
added to support output for a DCP compliant J2K files. Unfortunately, some of
the crucial transform was missing from this initial configuration, so often a
custom OCIO configuration was needed. With the addition of Filmic and now with
AgX this really became not-so-usable use-case. Also, there is no display device
which is XYZ and on which Blender can realistically run.
The None display device has duplicated functionality as the Raw view in sRGB
display. Its need originated for the compatibility with legacy "No Color
Management" option in Blender. It is also missing in the fallback color
management implementation. So, now use sRGB with Raw view to replicate the
old behavior. There will be a separate do-version commit after this one to help
transitioning the current files to the new configuration.
The Raw and Non-Color are duplicates of each other, there is no need to have
both of them. Since users are more familiar with Non-Color, and it's also the
one assigned as the data role, will keep Non-Color and remove Raw. For the
compatibility the Raw is an alias of the Non-Color space.
Ref #110685
This adds support for running a set of nodes repeatedly. The number
of iterations can be controlled dynamically as an input of the repeat
zone. The repeat zone can be added in via the search or from the
Add > Utilities menu.
The main use case is to replace long repetitive node chains with a more
flexible alternative. Technically, repeat zones can also be used for
many other use cases. However, due to their serial nature, performance
is very sub-optimal when they are used to solve problems that could
be processed in parallel. Better solutions for such use cases will
be worked on separately.
Repeat zones are similar to simulation zones. The major difference is
that they have no concept of time and are always evaluated entirely in
the current frame, while in simulations only a single iteration is
evaluated per frame.
Stopping the repetition early using a dynamic condition is not yet
supported. "Break" functionality can be implemented manually using
Switch nodes in the loop for now. It's likely that this functionality
will be built into the repeat zone in the future.
For now, things are kept more simple.
Remaining Todos after this first version:
* Improve socket inspection and viewer node support. Currently, only
the first iteration is taken into account for socket inspection
and the viewer.
* Make loop evaluation more lazy. Currently, the evaluation is eager,
meaning that it evaluates some nodes even though their output may not
be required.

This is a history workaround not needed for modern shells
(fixed with bourne shell SRV3, 1986).
This isn't used in other wrappers (snap package) for e.g.
The steam environment sets LD_LIBRARY_PATH with a libtbb.so.2 that is
incompatible with our own. This wrapper scripts gives our own library
priority.
There is a more modern "Steam Linux Runtime" that can be used instead of
the "LD_LIBRARY_PATH Steam Runtime" and which launches Blender, but it
fails to detect GPU compute libraries. So that was not an option.

Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/107738
This adds support for building simulations with geometry nodes. A new
`Simulation Input` and `Simulation Output` node allow maintaining a
simulation state across multiple frames. Together these two nodes form
a `simulation zone` which contains all the nodes that update the simulation
state from one frame to the next.
A new simulation zone can be added via the menu
(`Simulation > Simulation Zone`) or with the node add search.
The simulation state contains a geometry by default. However, it is possible
to add multiple geometry sockets as well as other socket types. Currently,
field inputs are evaluated and stored for the preceding geometry socket in
the order that the sockets are shown. Simulation state items can be added
by linking one of the empty sockets to something else. In the sidebar, there
is a new panel that allows adding, removing and reordering these sockets.
The simulation nodes behave as follows:
* On the first frame, the inputs of the `Simulation Input` node are evaluated
to initialize the simulation state. In later frames these sockets are not
evaluated anymore. The `Delta Time` at the first frame is zero, but the
simulation zone is still evaluated.
* On every next frame, the `Simulation Input` node outputs the simulation
state of the previous frame. Nodes in the simulation zone can edit that
data in arbitrary ways, also taking into account the `Delta Time`. The new
simulation state has to be passed to the `Simulation Output` node where it
is cached and forwarded.
* On a frame that is already cached or baked, the nodes in the simulation
zone are not evaluated, because the `Simulation Output` node can return
the previously cached data directly.
It is not allowed to connect sockets from inside the simulation zone to the
outside without going through the `Simulation Output` node. This is a necessary
restriction to make caching and sub-frame interpolation work. Links can go into
the simulation zone without problems though.
Anonymous attributes are not propagated by the simulation nodes unless they
are explicitly stored in the simulation state. This is unfortunate, but
currently there is no practical and reliable alternative. The core problem
is detecting which anonymous attributes will be required for the simulation
and afterwards. While we can detect this for the current evaluation, we can't
look into the future in time to see what data will be necessary. We intend to
make it easier to explicitly pass data through a simulation in the future,
even if the simulation is in a nested node group.
There is a new `Simulation Nodes` panel in the physics tab in the properties
editor. It allows baking all simulation zones on the selected objects. The
baking options are intentially kept at a minimum for this MVP. More features
for simulation baking as well as baking in general can be expected to be added
separately.
All baked data is stored on disk in a folder next to the .blend file. #106937
describes how baking is implemented in more detail. Volumes can not be baked
yet and materials are lost during baking for now. Packing the baked data into
the .blend file is not yet supported.
The timeline indicates which frames are currently cached, baked or cached but
invalidated by user-changes.
Simulation input and output nodes are internally linked together by their
`bNode.identifier` which stays the same even if the node name changes. They
are generally added and removed together. However, there are still cases where
"dangling" simulation nodes can be created currently. Those generally don't
cause harm, but would be nice to avoid this in more cases in the future.

This patch adds several tools and options to the weight paint mode of Grease Pencil.
* Blur tool: smooths out vertex weights, by calculating a gaussian blur of adjacent vertices.
* Average tool: painting the average weight from all weights under the brush.
* Smear tool: smudges weights by grabbing the weights under the brush and 'dragging' them.
* With the + and - icons in the toolbar, the user can easily switch between adding and subtracting weight while drawing weights.
* With shortcut `D` you can toggle between these two.
* The auto-normalize options ensures that all bone-deforming vertex groups add up to 1.0 while weight painting.
* With `Ctrl-F` a radial control for weight is invoked (in addition to the radial controls for brush size and strength).
* With `Ctrl-RMB` the user can sample the weight. This sets the brush Weight from the weight under the cursor.
* When painting weights in vertex groups for bones, the user can quickly switch to another vertex group by clicking on a bone with `Ctrl-LMB`.
For this to work, follow these steps:
* Select the armature and switch to Pose Mode.
* Select your Grease Pencil object and switch immediately to Weight Paint Mode.
* Select a bone in the armature with `Ctrl-LMB`. The corresponding vertex group is automatically activated.

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.
Increase the default value for the maximum number of recently-opened
files from 10 to 20. Also change the user's preference on version bump
to this new value if their current value is exactly the old default.

This commit implements described in the #104573.
The goal is to fix the confusion of the submodule hashes change, which are not
ideal for any of the supported git-module configuration (they are either always
visible causing confusion, or silently staged and committed, also causing
confusion).
This commit replaces submodules with a checkout of addons and addons_contrib,
covered by the .gitignore, and locale and developer tools are moved to the
main repository.
This also changes the paths:
- /release/scripts are moved to the /scripts
- /source/tools are moved to the /tools
- /release/datafiles/locale is moved to /locale
This is done to avoid conflicts when using bisect, and also allow buildbot to
automatically "recover" wgen building older or newer branches/patches.
Running `make update` will initialize the local checkout to the changed
repository configuration.
Another aspect of the change is that the make update will support Github style
of remote organization (origin remote pointing to thy fork, upstream remote
pointing to the upstream blender/blender.git).

The latter was actually used without being added, which caused errors.

Currently Metal is more stable then the OpenGL backend on apple
devices. Also the Metal backend supports more features then the
OpenGL backend. For example the viewport compositor and rendering

This has been validated with users and studios.
This patch will default to the Metal backend when starting
Blender 3.5 for the first time or when loading factory startup. It
is still possible to switch to OpenGL via the user preferences.
It will not automatically select the Metal backend when there is
already user preferences available for Blender 3.5.

The Preferences for asset libraries are becoming more than a simple name
+ path. E.g. there is now an Import Method options, and we previously
also considered a Relative Paths option (which we may still want to

UI isn't well suited for less than trivial cases. Using UI lists makes
the UI more scalable and follows usual list UI patterns more. There is
also more space for the path button now.
