Include idea that Blender may fail to launch it even if path is correct,
in some cases (dear Windows...).
Based on idea from @lijenstina and @blendify (D2349), thanks.
This code has not been used for a long time if not ever.
Most of the code was removed in rB1d3609262704f88c9e30b2cebdb236110b25cdc9
however, this was forgoten.
compiled.
This adds a short message to the smoke, remesh and boolean modifiers' UI
when trying to use them when their compilation was turned off. This was
already implemented for the fluid and ocean simulation modifiers.
This also makes the 'quick fluid' and 'quick smoke' operator abort and
report when trying to use them when unavailable.
This is no longer needed since moving to MPoly/MLoop data structure.
Also use 3x3 matrix for transforming instead of quaternion
(slightly better performance).
For the multi-GPU case users still have to reconfigure the devices they want to use.
Based on patch from Lukas Stockner.

Adding a torus in edit-mode, with 'Generate UVs'
for example would either create another UV layer with the default name or
switch to the default UV layer name if it exists.
Now use the existing UV layer if present.
This commit fixes two issues:
- UV/Image editor uvs menu did not match the 3D View's which was changed in rB2b240b043078
- Circle select tool was missing in particle edit mode

This should make it easier to sculpt in high resolutions, downside is that the new way to calculate maximum edge length is a bit less intuitive. Maximum edge length used to be calculated as blender_unit * percentage_value, now it's blender_unit / value.
Reused old DNA struct member, but had to bump subversion to ensure correct compatibility conversion. Also changed default value slightly (would have had to set to 3.333... otherwise).
Was Requested by @monio (see https://rightclickselect.com/p/sculpting/zpbbbc/dyntopo-better-scale-input-in-constant-detail-mode) and I think it's worth testing.
Bullet spring constraint already supports rotational springs, but
they are not exposed in blender UI, likely due to a simple oversight.
Supporting them is as simple as adding a few DNA/RNA properties
with appropriate UI and passing them on to Bullet.

Previously, it was only possible to choose a single GPU or all of that type (CUDA or OpenCL).
Now, a toggle button is displayed for every device.
These settings are tied to the PCI Bus ID of the devices, so they're consistent across hardware addition and removal (but not when swapping/moving cards).
From the code perspective, the more important change is that now, the compute device properties are stored in the Addon preferences of the Cycles addon, instead of directly in the User Preferences.
This allows for a cleaner implementation, removing the Cycles C API functions that were called by the RNA code to specify the enum items.
Note that this change is neither backwards- nor forwards-compatible, but since it's only a User Preference no existing files are broken.

Feature request during bconf, makes sense to have it even as an hack for
now, since this is probably one of the most common use cases. This should
be redone in bmesh once we have proper custom noramls handling in edit mode...
This is yet another debug option that allows to render an arbitrary
simulation field by using a color ramp to inspect its voxel values.
Note that when using this, fire rendering is turned off.

The 'local' layers were not correctly set when redoing 'add object'
addons using object_utils.py helper (we always want to restore layers
from view in local view, even if we set 'real' layers from operator
afterwards).
Using context manager for output file itself, and whole try/except block
to at least catch and print error in file.
Also some minor tweaks to previous 'list add-ons' commit.
Now, the strokes can be locked to a plane set in the cursor location.
This option allow the artist to rotate the view and draw keeping the
strokes flat over the surface. This option is similar to surface option
but doesn't need a object.
The option is only valid for 3D view and strokes in CURSOR mode.
Not really possible to precisely detect all cases in which they should or
should not be active, but at least now it won't show as disabled when it
actually has some effects.
Previously the editor will always try to only show UV faces with the same exact active
image or image texture, which is quite difficult to control on a production shaders, where
each material can have multiple objects assigned.
The idea of this commit is to bring option which allows to easily control what to display
when "Draw Other Objects" is enabled, so currently we can have old behavior ("Same Image")
or tell editor to show everything ("All"). In the future we can extend it with such filters
as "Same Material" and things like that.
Hopefully this will help @eyecandy's workflow of texturing.
If I didn't miss anything these are indeed not used. Old themes should still work (will only print info on redundant theme defines into console), but updated non-contrib themes already.
Apparently the keying sets system doesn't support subclassing
KeyingSetInfo subclasses. I have added a note to the top of the file to
indicate this to future developers.
Previously the pose library used the WholeCharacter key set, which ignores
selection and add keys for almost all bones in the rig. This is a very
slow operation on complex rigs. With this patch, only selected bones are
keyed, defaulting to keying all bones when none are selected.
Note that this fixes the FIXME previously mentioned in the source.
Code was not getting correct boundbox in some cases (group only instancing other groups e.g.), now
compute our own bbox in those cases.
Based on patch by @lichtwerk, but extended the fix to include linked datablocks in some cases
(linked objects in local groups, linked objects in local scene, etc.), this was also broken in existing code.

- WITH_SMOKE macro was not defined so some code was not compiled, though
it was still accessible from the UI
- some UI elements were disappearing due to bad indentation, also rework
the UI code to not hide but rather disable/grey out button in the UI
- Display thickness was not used due to bad manual merge of the code
from the patch.
This basically exposes to the UI a function that was only available
through a debug macro ; the purpose is obviously to help debugging
simulations. It adds ways to draw the vectors either as colored needles
or as arrows showing the direction of the vectors. The colors are based
on the magnitude of the underlying vectors.

Current approach uses view aligned slicing to generate polygons for GL
texturing such that the generated polygons are always facing the view
plane. Now it is also possible to use object aligned slicing, which
creates polygons by slicing the object perpendicular to whichever axis
is facing the most the view plane. It is also possible to create a
single slice for inspecting the volume, or for 2D rendering effects.
Settings for this, along with a density multiplier setting, are to be
found in a newly added "Smoke Display Settings" panel in the smoke
domain properties tab.

It's now possible to change the shortcut for invoking the eyedropper while hovering a button (E by default). Also removed the keymap editor entry for the modal eyedropper keymap, it's now automatically appended to the eyedropper shortcut.
This patch changes a couple of things in the video output encoding.
{F362527}
- Clearer separation between container and codec. No more "format", as this is
too ambiguous. As a result, codecs were removed from the container list.
- Added FFmpeg speed presets, so the user can choosen from the range "Very
slow" to "Ultra fast". By default no preset is used.
- Added Constant Rate Factor (CRF) mode, which allows changing the bit-rate
depending on the desired quality and the input. This generally produces the
best quality videos, at the expense of not knowing the exact bit-rate and
file size.
- Added optional maximum of non-B-frames between B-frames (`max_b_frames`).
- Presets were adjusted for these changes, and new presets added. One of the
new presets is [recommended](https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Encode/VFX#H.264)
for reviewing videos, as it allows players to scrub through it easily. Might
be nice in weeklies. This preset also requires control over the
`max_b_frames` setting.
GUI-only changes:
- Renamed "MPEG" in the output file format menu with "FFmpeg", as this is more
accurate. After all, FFmpeg is used when this option is chosen, which can
also output non-MPEG files.
- Certain parts of the GUI are disabled when not in use:
- bit rate options are not used when a constant rate factor is given.
- audio bitrate & volume are not used when no audio is exported.
Note that I did not touch `BKE_ffmpeg_preset_set()`. There are currently two
preset systems for FFmpeg (`BKE_ffmpeg_preset_set()` and the Python preset
system). Before we do more work on `BKE_ffmpeg_preset_set()`, I think it's a
good idea to determine whether we want to keep it at all.
After this patch has been accepted, I'd be happy to go through the code and
remove any then-obsolete bits, such as the handling of "XVID" as a container
format.
