This is the result of nearly two years of development and I want thanks firstly the other members of the grease pencil team: Daniel M. Lara, Matias Mendiola and Joshua Leung for their support, ideas and to keep working in the project all the time, without them this project had been impossible.
Also, I want thanks other Blender developers for their help, advices and to be there always to help me, and specially to Clément Foucault, Dalai Felinto, Pablo Vázquez and Campbell Barton.
There are now 3 categories in the overlay popover:
- Navigation
- Active (camera, lamp... etc)
- Tool (manipulator)
The user preference for mini axis now controls if the mini axis
displays minimal or a full-interactive widget.
Part of design: T55863
The theme is now stored in generated C code,
which can be extracted from existing user preferences.
This theme can then be used for version patching themes
instead of duplicating values
Note that theme versioning has been removed,
since minor changes from now on won't apply well on top of 2.7x theme.
Theme colors from interface_widgets.c have been removed too.
- Default Lamp increased strength (10x stronger)
- 3D View & Camera Lens = 50mm
- Camera film size = 36x24mm Full Frame
- Render Size Percentage = 100%
- Render Display = New Window
- Scene Units = Metric
- Color Management View = Filmic
- Workbench Object Overlap = ON
- Headers on top for all editors, except the Timeline at the bottom
- Default Properties tab = Object Properties
- Generate UV's = ON
See T47064
* Remove the "sync_mode" dropdown from timeline header, and move it into
the Playback menu instead.
* Remove the confusing "Frame Dropping" and "AV Sync" entries from the
Playback menu. These were supposed to be mutually exclusive (or else,
the "sync_mode" menu would break).
* Turn AV Sync on by default
* Commented out the Frame Dropping and Av Sync RNA Properties too.
THere doesn't seem to be any valid reason for these to exist?
ViewRender was removed, which means we can't get the render engine for files
saved in 2.8. We assume that any files saved in 2.8 were intended to use Eevee
and set the engine to that.
A fix included with this is that .blend thumbails now draw with Clay mode,
and never Eevee or Cycles. These were drawn with solid mode in 2.7, and should
be very fast and not e.g. load heavy image textures.

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.
USER_ZBUF_ORBIT -> USER_DEPTH_NAVIGATE
The name didn't make sense since it's used for all view navigation.
Also rename USER_ZBUF_CURSOR -> USER_DEPTH_CURSOR since zbuf
is an internal detail.
This reverts change to BKE_brush_add,
callers now remove the extra user.
Note this isn't very convenient for callers but
is consistent with other ID types.
In the future we will probably remove this and have new
ID's created with zero users.
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 patch moves all the functionality previously in SceneRenderLayer to SceneLayer.
If we want to rename some of these structs now would be a good time to do it, before they are in SceneLayer.
Everything should be working, though I will test things further tomorrow. Once this is committed depsgraph can get
rid of the workaround added in rna_Main_meshes_new_from_object and finish whatever this patch was preventing from being finished.
This patch also adds a few placeholders for the overrides (samples, ...). These are obviously not working, so some unittests that rely on 'lay', and 'zmask' will fail.
This patch does not addressed the change of moving samples to ViewRender (I have this as a separate patch and needs some separate discussion).
Following next is the individual note of the individual parts that were committed.
Note 1: It is up to Cycles to still get rid of exclude_layer internally.
Note 2: Cycles still need to handle its own doversion for the use_layer_samples cases and
(1) Remove the override as it is
(2) Add a new override (scene.cycles.samples) if scene.cycles.use_layer_samples != IGNORE
Respecting the expected behaviour when scene.cycles.use_layer_samples == BOUNDED.
Note 3: Cycles still need to implement the per-object holdout
(similar to how we do shadow catcher).
Note 4: There are parts of the old (Blender Internal) rendering pipeline that is still
using lay, e.g., in shi->lay.
Honestly it will be easier to purge the entire Blender Internal code away instead of taking things from it bit by bit.

Engine is not stored in WorkSpaces. That defines the "context" engine, which
is used for the entire UI.
The engine used for the poll of nodes (add node menu, new nodes when "Use Nodes")
is obtained from context.
Introduce a ViewRender struct for viewport settings that are defined for
workspaces and scene. This struct will be populated with the hand-picked
settings that can be defined per workspace as per the 2.8 design.
* use_scene_settings
* properties editor: workshop + organize context path
Use Scene Settings
==================
For viewport drawing, Workspaces have an option to use the Scene render
settings (F12) instead of the viewport settings.
This way users can quickly preview the final render settings, engine and
View Layer. This will affect all the editors in that workspace, and it will be
clearly indicated in the top-bar.
Properties Editor: Add Workspace and organize context path
==========================================================
We now have the properties of:
Scene, Scene > Layer, Scene > World, Workspace
[Scene | Workspace] > Render Layer > Object
[Scene | Workspace] > Render Layer > Object > Data

2016 GSOC project by @nathanvollmer, see D2150
- Mirrored painting and radial symmetry, like in sculpt mode.
- Volume based splash prevention,
which avoids painting vertices far away from the 3D brush location.
- Normal based splash prevention,
which avoids painting vertices with normals opposite the normal
at the 3D brush location.
- Blur mode now uses a nearest neighbor average.
- Average mode, which averages the color/weight
of the vertices within the brush
- Smudge mode, which pulls the colors/weights
along the direction of the brush
- RGB^2 color blending, which gives a more accurate
blend between two colors
- multithreading support. (PBVH leaves are painted in parallel.)
- Foreground/background color picker in vertex paint
Even though in that specific it was probably safe-ish, there is no
guarantee at this point Brush we want to remove are not used somewhere,
better take the slightly slower, much safer `BKE_libblock_delete()` path here.
This commit does the main integration of workspaces, which is a design we agreed on during the 2.8 UI workshop (see https://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:2.8/UI/Workshop_Writeup)
Workspaces should generally be stable, I'm not aware of any remaining bugs (or I've forgotten them :) ). If you find any, let me know!
(Exception: mode switching button might get out of sync with actual mode in some cases, would consider that a limitation/ToDo. Needs to be resolved at some point.)
== Main Changes/Features
* Introduces the new Workspaces as data-blocks.
* Allow storing a number of custom workspaces as part of the user configuration. Needs further work to allow adding and deleting individual workspaces.
* Bundle a default workspace configuration with Blender (current screen-layouts converted to workspaces).
* Pressing button to add a workspace spawns a menu to select between "Duplicate Current" and the workspaces from the user configuration. If no workspaces are stored in the user configuration, the default workspaces are listed instead.
* Store screen-layouts (`bScreen`) per workspace.
* Store an active screen-layout per workspace. Changing the workspace will enable this layout.
* Store active mode in workspace. Changing the workspace will also enter the mode of the new workspace. (Note that we still store the active mode in the object, moving this completely to workspaces is a separate project.)
* Store an active render layer per workspace.
* Moved mode switch from 3D View header to Info Editor header.
* Store active scene in window (not directly workspace related, but overlaps quite a bit).
* Removed 'Use Global Scene' User Preference option.
* Compatibility with old files - a new workspace is created for every screen-layout of old files. Old Blender versions should be able to read files saved with workspace support as well.
* Default .blend only contains one workspace ("General").
* Support appending workspaces.
Opening files without UI and commandline rendering should work fine.
Note that the UI is temporary! We plan to introduce a new global topbar
that contains the workspace options and tabs for switching workspaces.
== Technical Notes
* Workspaces are data-blocks.
* Adding and removing `bScreen`s should be done through `ED_workspace_layout` API now.
* A workspace can be active in multiple windows at the same time.
* The mode menu (which is now in the Info Editor header) doesn't display "Grease Pencil Edit" mode anymore since its availability depends on the active editor. Will be fixed by making Grease Pencil an own object type (as planned).
* The button to change the active workspace object mode may get out of sync with the mode of the active object. Will either be resolved by moving mode out of object data, or we'll disable workspace modes again (there's a `#define USE_WORKSPACE_MODE` for that).
* Screen-layouts (`bScreen`) are IDs and thus stored in a main list-base. Had to add a wrapper `WorkSpaceLayout` so we can store them in a list-base within workspaces, too. On the long run we could completely replace `bScreen` by workspace structs.
* `WorkSpace` types use some special compiler trickery to allow marking structs and struct members as private. BKE_workspace API should be used for accessing those.
* Added scene operators `SCENE_OT_`. Was previously done through screen operators.
== BPY API Changes
* Removed `Screen.scene`, added `Window.scene`
* Removed `UserPreferencesView.use_global_scene`
* Added `Context.workspace`, `Window.workspace` and `BlendData.workspaces`
* Added `bpy.types.WorkSpace` containing `screens`, `object_mode` and `render_layer`
* Added Screen.layout_name for the layout name that'll be displayed in the UI (may differ from internal name)
== What's left?
* There are a few open design questions (T50521). We should find the needed answers and implement them.
* Allow adding and removing individual workspaces from workspace configuration (needs UI design).
* Get the override system ready and support overrides per workspace.
* Support custom UI setups as part of workspaces (hidden panels, hidden buttons, customizable toolbars, etc).
* Allow enabling add-ons per workspace.
* Support custom workspace keymaps.
* Remove special exception for workspaces in linking code (so they're always appended, never linked). Depends on a few things, so best to solve later.
* Get the topbar done.
* Workspaces need a proper icon, current one is just a placeholder :)

The original idea was to use Clay as the default. But since clay may not
even be in the final release, we can't afford to have a startup.blend
that doesn't deliver a reliable result regardless of build options.
For Windows 8.1 and X11 (Linux, BSD) now use the DPI specified by the operating
system, which previously only worked on macOS. For Windows this is handled per
monitor, for X11 this is based on Xft.dpi or xrandr --dpi. This should result
in appropriate font and button sizes by default in most cases.
The UI has been simplified to a single UI Scale factor relative to the automatic
DPI, instead of two DPI and Virtual Pixel Size settings. There is forward and
backwards compatibility for existing user preferences.

the issue was caused by wrong default value for brush particle count
which was clamped on display from 0 to 1. This is technically a regression
but how to port this to 2.78a?
The flatten brush depended on accumulate being disabled,
Adding dynotopo support for accumulate caused problems for this tool (see T44390).
Enable for existing files.
Previously it would average all points under the brush, giving an off feedback loop that often depended on the
direction of the brush stroke, giving not-very-useful smearing effect.
Now blend brush smooths between connected edges.
