This affects point, spot and area lights. Sun light strength remains without
a unit. This change does not affect .blend file compatibility in any way, as
with the rest of the unit system it's purely a display and editing feature.
Not used for Cycles yet, that will be done after unifying the settings with
Eevee.
Noted those as missing in XXX comments some time ago, running again on
that code I still see no reason for this missing feature, so now when
doing a full scene copy, including duplication of Freestyl's linestyles
and scene's greasepencil data, their potential Actions will also be
properly duplicated (like it was already the case for world, and scene
itself).
* Use simple default view transform for color pickers, as Filmic does not work
well for all types of colors. We better handle this with an option and tagging
of colors as emissive or albedo like.
* For solid/workbench we also no longer use Filmic, as there is not enough contrast
and it's not really needed since this is not physically based lighting.
* For lookdev always take into account the view transform and look. Other view
settings like exposure are only taken into account if scene lighting is used,
since these are often dependent on scene light intensity.

This is often invalid, outdated or misleading

It's more useful to git-blame to find out who has developed the code.

This removes a bunch of animation/driver evaluations and recalc flags that
should be redundant in the new depsgraph, and were incorrectly affecting
the evaluated scene in a permanent way.
Still two cases that could be removed if the depsgraph is improved, in
BKE_object_handle_data_update and BKE_cachefile_update_frame.
For physics subframe interpolation there are also still calls to
BKE_object_where_is_calc that should ideally be removed as well, though
they are not known to cause keyframing bugs.

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?
This aims to resolve a conflict where some users want to keep keyboard
axis setting global, even when the orientation is set to something else.
Move/rotate/scale can optionally each have a separate orientation.
Some UI changes will be made next.
This resolves this issue where users would enable a snapping mode
besides incremental (vertex for eg), then notice strange behavior w/
rotate and scale.
While this ability can be useful, it's quite an obscure use case.
Now changing snap-modes keeps rotate and scale using incremental snap,
with the option for these modes to be affected by other snapping modes.
D4022 by @kioku w/ own minor edits.
This commit adds support for new curve tool and adds more functionalities to the existing primitives, including new handles, editing, stroke thickness curve, noise, preview of the real stroke, etc.
Thanks to @charlie for his great contribution to this improvement.
There were at least three copies of those:
- OB_RECALC* family of flags, which are rudiment of an old
dependency graph system.
- PSYS_RECALC* which were used by old dependency graph system
as a separate set since the graph itself did not handle
particle systems.
- DEG_TAG_* which was used to tag IDs.
Now there is a single set, which defines what can be tagged
and queried for an update. It also has some aggregate flags
to make queries simpler.
Lets once and for all solve the madness of those flags, stick
to a single set, which will not overlap with anything or require
any extra conversion.
Technically, shouldn't be measurable user difference, but some
of the agregate flags for few dependency graph components did
change.
Fixes T58632: Particle don't update rotation settings
Solves weird situation when default display name is queried
from OCIO, but Default view being assumed to be set for it.
Now view is initialized to a default view of that display.
Shadow focus let the user choose how hard are is the shadows transition.
Harder shadow transition can be used for stylistic effects or more uniform
shading.
Make shadow orientation respect the same orientation as the studio light
(view from +Y direction aka. front view). Make the default shadow direction
more similar to the default light position (the default light object, not
the default studio lighting).
This setting can be tweaked to improve glossy reflection cubemaps.
It increases the sample count for each roughness level.
This settings affect the lookdev mode quality as well.
This is a parameter that will make the interpolation between irradiance
cells of a same Irradiance Volume smoother, reducing the weight of the
light leaking correction factors.
It is usefull in some cases to avoid harsh lighting transition that can
happen when a sample point it near a surface.
This is an important change. Starting from now, all lights have a finite
influence radius (similar to the old sphere option for BI).
In order to avoid costly setup time, this distance is first computed
automatically based on a light threshold. The distance is computed
at the light origin and using the inverse square falloff. The setting
can be found inside the render settings panel > shadow tab.
This light threshold does not take the light shape into account an may not
suit every case. That's why we provide a per lamp override where you can
just set the cutt off distance (Light Properties Panel > Light >
Custom Distance).
The influence distance is also used as shadow far clip distance.
This influence distance does not concerns sun lights that still have a
far clip distance.
---
This change is important because it makes it possible to cull lights
an improve performance drastically in the future.
Each mode had its own logic for initializing paint structs,
move to a single function.
Also remove "BKE_brush_get_gpencil_paint", entering grease pencil
mode is responsible for ensuring the data is created.
This option make the internal render size larger than the output size in
order to minimize screenspace effects disapearing at the render edges.
The overscan size added around the render is the maximum dimension
multiplied by the overscan percentage.
Users can select the main unit they want to use now.
Previously the displayed unit always depended on the magnitude of the value.
The old behavior can be restored by switching to the "Adaptive" mode for length, mass and time units.
Meters, kilograms and seconds are the default units for new and old scenes.
The selected unit is also the default unit for user input.
E.g. if cm is selected, whenever the user inputs a unitless number into a field of type length, it will be interpreted as cm.
