This is something where there is no single correct behavior,
sometimes it's needed to ignore the crease to make mesh more
smooth. But sometimes crease is to be considered after first
subdivision surface: for example, when adding extra subdivisions
for render-time displacement.
Made it an option whether modifier needs to take crease into
account or not.
Existing files should be openable in the 2.7 compatible way,
to re-create an old behavior the options is to be manually
disabled in the modifier settings.

* It can be hidden by dragging it up/down.
* It can be at the top or bottom, independent of the header.
* It uses the color theme from the header.
* It does not change its color, when the area becomes active.
Currently, it is used in the text editor to display the file path.

A new parameter in the layer adjustment panel allows to define the color of the channel in Dopesheet.
This is needed when there are a lot of layers.
See D4623 for more details.
This makes it easier to exclude a surface from casting shadows and can be
used to manipulate the shadows even for opaque surfaces.
Versionning ensure that old behavior is transfered to new rendering logic.
The billboard particles were only used by Blender Internal. So until it is
supported by Cycles of Eevee there is no reason to keep it in the code and
UI.

Some uninitialized colormanagement data was breaking RNA acces for them,
exposed in batch preview management when generating previews for scenes
because we have to backup/restore scene and all its settings
before/after rendering it...
During screen to workspace/workspace-layout conversion, the first layout
of each workspace would be activated. For temporary full-screens, this
used to be the full-screen layout (IIRC), apparently it's now the
the layout to return to on "Back to Previous". So the 'previous' layout
would be activated, not the full-screen one.
When actually pressing "Back to Previous" now, the operator would first
free the active layout (which it assumes to be the temp full-screen -
wrongly in this case) and then try to activate the non-full-screen one,
causing use-after-free.
Convention was not to but after discussion on 918941483f we agree its
best to change the convention.
Names now mostly follow RNA.
Some exceptions:
- Use 'nodetrees' instead of 'nodegroups'
since the struct is called NodeTree.
- Use 'gpencils' instead of 'grease_pencil'
since 'gpencil' is a common abbreviation in the C code.
Other exceptions:
- Leave 'wm' as it's a list of one.
- Leave 'ipo' as is for versioning.
Requested by some users who prefer old wireframe precision.
Smooth wires are still enabled by defaults as they don't have a noticeable
perf impact.
Application restart is needed for changes to take effects.
As discussed with @billreynish this makes little sense now that we don't
have a dedicated textured mode. We don't have a superior texture or shaded
mode anymore and we also cannot mix different engines together (workbench
with eevee/lookdev).
The only feature it removes is the possibility to hide textures for certain
object in solid mode.
The option is separated from the solid mode color option.
Random color uses the same method as solid mode.
Selection state is indicated by a brighter color that is outside the
brightness range of the unselected state colors. The active state is
indicated by the outlines that is, now, still drawn in wireframe mode.
Coloring of the selection / active outline is not optimal because it
can look ugly in some cases of color combination. But the outline color
is using index range coloring so it's not trivial to change the color of
the outline per object. For now we use the same outline color used in solid
mode for consistency and also still add an emphasis on the selected objects.
The Single color option uses the theme color. Maybe it would be nice to
change the name of it in a latter commit to avoid confusion.
- Makes it possible to show a vertical line for every marker in the graph editor.
- Makes the marker line visiblity optional in the sequencer and graph editor.

Is a missing do-verisoning code in e3d31b8dfb.
Unfortunately, at this point it is rather tricky to tell old and new
hair dynamics modifiers apart. Probably easier to accept possible
breackage of the files which were created in 2.7 and saved during
2.8 which had incomplete do-version code.
BF-admins agree to remove header information that isn't useful,
to reduce noise.
- BEGIN/END license blocks
Developers should add non license comments as separate comment blocks.
No need for separator text.

This is often invalid, outdated or misleading
especially when splitting files.
It's more useful to git-blame to find out who has developed the code.

Some of Eevee's Bloom defaults are not very good for physically based rendering. This patches addresses this issue.
This picture shows one of the problems with current default. Bloom looks very foggy:
{F6280495}
Even worse, light emitters much dimmer than the Sun can make everything equally hazy if Clamp is set to 1.0 and intensity to 0.8 (current default). Artists often forget to adjust Clamp value and do not know what value to use for realistic intensity. Also, currently both Clamp and Intensity do not have good UI ranges. This is why often Eevee renders end up very hazy and bloom often does not look right.
Bloom effect plays important role to help to distinguish between bright and relatively dim light sources. With current defaults this is broken because Clamp set to 1.0. Also, it cannot be disabled if set to 0 like expected. This patch fixes this and sets it to 0 by default. If users need to clamp, they can do so easily with UI range up to 1000. This range is good enough for most cases and provides enough precision to control lower values, and the highest value helps to limit bloom from the Sun if necessary and will leave untouched most other light emitters. If needed, much higher values for Clamp can be entered manually up to 100000. 10000 is still affects the Sun, but up to 100000 highest limit allows to clamp anything that is much brighter than the Sun if user needs to limit bloom in such cases (for example, bright explosion in the sky or anything else very bright).
I propose new default for bloom Intensity - 0.05 and UI range to suggests realistic values. Bloom Intensity > 0.1 is not realistic for clean lens but the user can enter manually much larger values if needed.
For comparison, here is a my own photo with and without bloom caused by the Sun (on second photo the Sun was occluded with an object).
{F6280500}
{F6280492}
In real life bloom is much more subtle and does not look hazy. If Clamp is disabled, then out of 0.1, 0.05 and 0.025 values I have tried, 0.05 looks most similar to the photo. Here is test render with and without bloom with the Sun in similar position like on the photo:
{F6280496}
{F6280494}
Using color probe 27x27 I compared lightness below the horizon under the Sun. In rendered by Eevee images lightness difference was 17. In case of the photos lightness difference in similar place was 11. I then compared leftmost spot (also below the horizon) and lightness difference was approximately 2 between two photos and 1 between rendered images. In other words, with these settings bloom effect is not too strong and is not too weak. Visually it may seem like decreasing bloom intensity may increase photorealism, but then bloom effect would be too localized even for the Sun.
Besides this single test, I tested in many other scenes as well, with and without the Sun, with different HDRIs, and as far as I can tell 0.05 intensity turned out to be good default - it produces bloom strong enough to be noticeable and not too hazy.
In Cycles shutter default value is 0.50, so for consistency set to 0.5 by default in Eevee too. Besides, 0.5 is typical standard for real cameras, and values higher than 0.5 usually are needed only if very strong motion blur is desired.
Here is summary of all changes:
Bloom Intensity: 0.8 > 0.05
Bloom Intensity UI range: 0-10 > 0-0.1
Bloom Clamp: 1.0 > 0.0 (disabled by default)
Bloom Clamp manual range: 0-1000 > 0-100000
Bloom Clamp UI range: 0-10 > 0-1000
Shutter: 1.0 > 0.5
This patch is related to the discussion in this thread, there are more examples of what bloom will look like with 0.05 intensity by me and others:

This commit groups a set of new tools that were tested in grease pencil object branch before moving to master. We decide to do all the development in a separated branch because it could break master during days or weeks before the new tools were ready to deploy.
The commit includes:
- New Cutter tool to trim strokes and help cleaning up drawings.
- New set of constraints and guides to draw different types of shapes. All the credits for this development goes to Charlie Jolly (@charlie), thanks for your help!
- Segment selection mode to select strokes between intersections.
- New operator to change strokes cap mode.
- New option to display only keyframed frames. This option is very important when fill strokes with color.
- Multiple small fixes and tweaks.
Thanks to @pepeland and @mendio for their ideas, tests, reviews and support.
Note: Still pending the final icons for Cutter in Toolbar and Segment Selection in Topbar. @billreynish could help us here?
(Part 1 was 00963afc14978b)
Does the following changes visible to users:
* Use panels and sub-panels for more structured & logical grouping
* Re-organized options more logically than before (see images in D4148)
* Use flow layout (single column by default).
* New layout uses horizontal margin if there's enough space.
* Change size of Preferences window to suit new layout.
* Move keymap related options from "Input" into own section.
* Own, left-bottom aligned region for Save Preferences button.
* Adjustments of names, tooltips & icons.
* Move buttons from header into the main region (except editor switch).
* Hide Preferences header when opened in temporary window.
* Use full area width for header.
* Don't use slider but regular number widget for UI scale.
* Gray out animation player path option if player isn't "Custom"
Internal changes:
* Rearrange RNA properties to match changed UI structure.
* Introduces new "EXECUTE" region type, see reasoning in D3982.
* Changes to panel layout and AZone code for dynamic panel region.
* Bumps subversion and does versioning for new regions.
RNA changes are documented in the release notes:
https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/Reference/Release_Notes/2.80/Python_API/Preferences_API
Design & implementation mostly done by @billreynish and myself.
