The new implementation leverage compute shaders to reduce the
number of passes and complexity.
The max blur amount is now detected automatically, replacing the property
in the render panel by a simple checkbox.
The dilation algorithm has also been rewritten from scratch into a 1 pass
algorithm that does the dilation more efficiently and more precisely.
Some differences with the old implementation can be observed in areas with
complex motion.
This adds three new nodes:
* `Shortest Edge Paths`: Actually finds the shortest paths.
* `Edge Paths to Curves`: Converts the paths to separate curves.
This may generate a quadratic amount of data, making it slow
for large meshes.
* `Edge Paths to Selection`: Generates an edge selection that
contains all edges that are part of a path. This can be used
with the Separate Geometry node to only keep the edges that
are part of a path. For large meshes, this approach can be
much faster than the `Edge Paths to Curves` node, because
less data is created.

To keep consistency is better add the word `Inactive` for `Fade Layers` and `Fade Objects` to keep the same naming used in other areas of the overlay panel.

Although e.g. in the dopesheet there is no specific concept of
active action, displaying panels requires singling out one action
reference. It is more efficient and clearer to implement this
natively in the context rather than using selected_visible_actions[0].
- In the Action Editor the action is taken from the header.
- In the Dope Sheet the first selected action is chosen, because
there is no concept of an active channel or keyframe.
- In the Graph Editor the action associated with the active curve
is used, which should also be associated with the active vertex.
This case may be different from selected_visible_actions[0].

openSubdiv_init() would detect available evaluators before any OpenGL context
exists, causing a crash with libepoxy. This test however is redundant as we
already check the requirements on the Blender side through the GPU API.
To simplify things, completely remove the device detection in the opensubdiv
module and reduce the evaluators to just CPU and GPU. The plan here is to move
to the GPU module abstraction over OpenGL/Metal/Vulkan and so all these
different backends no longer make sense.
This also removes the user preference for OpenSubdiv compute device, which was
not used for the new GPU subdivision implementation.

* Don't nest "Show Recent Locations" and "Show System Locations" under a

hide panels from the UI.
* Use own "Show Locations" heading instead, and remove redundant words

* Move the options to the top of the panel, they are more general since

Agreed on with Pablo Vazquez.
Curves that are attached to a surface can now follow the surface when
it is modified using shape keys or modifiers (but not when the original
surface is deformed in edit or sculpt mode).
The surface is allowed to be changed in any way that keeps uv maps
intact. So deformation is allowed, but also some topology changes like
subdivision.
The following features are added:
* A new `Deform Curves on Surface` node, which deforms curves with
attachment information based on the surface object and uv map set
in the properties panel.
* A new `Add Rest Position` checkbox in the shape keys panel. When checked,
a new `rest_position` vector attribute is added to the mesh before shape
keys and modifiers are applied. This is necessary to support proper
deformation of the curves, but can also be used for other purposes.
* The `Add > Curve > Empty Hair` operator now sets up a simple geometry
nodes setup that deforms the hair. It also makes sure that the rest
position attribute is added to the surface.
* A new `Object (Attach Curves to Surface)` operator in the `Set Parent To`
(ctrl+P) menu, which attaches existing curves to the surface and sets the
surface object as parent.
Limitations:
* Sculpting the procedurally deformed curves will be implemented separately.
* The `Deform Curves on Surface` node is not generic and can only be used
for one specific purpose currently. We plan to generalize this more in the
future by adding support by exposing more inputs and/or by turning it into
a node group.

Adds a "Pin Scene" option to the workspace. When activated, the workspace will

a scene and thus a timeline for a specific task.
The option can be found in the Properties, Workspace tab. D11890 additionally

This commit adds visualization to the selection in curves sculpt mode.
Previously it was only possible to see the selection when it was
connected to a material.
In order to obstruct the users vision as little as possible, the
selected areas of the curve are left as is, but a dark overlay
is drawn over unselected areas.
To make it work, the overlay requests the selection attribute and then
ensures that the evaluation is complete for curves. Then it retrieves
the evaluated selection GPU texture and passes that to the shader.
This reuses the existing generic attribute extraction system because
there currently wouldn't be any benefits to dealing with selection
separately, and because it avoids duplication of the logic that
extracts attributes from curves and evaluates them if necessary.

* Minimum Distance -> Distance Mix
* Max Count -> Count Max

This follows better the names we have in geometry nodes in the Distribute Points

The shortcut for the selection grow is the same we use in mesh sculpt
for the Expand Mask operator (which behaves a bit similar).
There are two operators added, which are available via a special
content menu next to the plane track image selector:
- New Image from Plane Marker
- Update Image from Plane Marker
The former one creates an image from pixels which the active plane
track marker "sees" at the current frame and sets it as the plane
track's image.
The latter one instead of creating the new image data-block updates
the image in-place.
This allows to create unwarped texture from a billboard from footage.
The intent is to allow this image to be touched up and re-projected
back to the footage with an updated content.
Available from a plane track image context menu, as well as from the

This commit adds a new face nearest snapping mode, adds new snapping
options, and (lightly) refactors code around snapping.
The new face nearest snapping mode will snap transformed geometry to the
nearest surface in world space. In contrast, the original face snapping
mode uses projection (raycasting) to snap source to target geometry.
Face snapping therefore only works with what is visible, while nearest
face snapping can snap geometry to occluded parts of the scene. This new
mode is critical for retopology work, where some of the target mesh
might be occluded (ex: sliding an edge loop that wraps around the
backside of target mesh).
The nearest face snapping mode has two options: "Snap to Same Target"
and "Face Nearest Steps". When the Snap to Same Object option is
enabled, the selected source geometry will stay near the target that it
is nearest before editing started, which prevents the source geometry
from snapping to other targets. The Face Nearest Steps divides the
overall transformation for each vertex into n smaller transformations,
then applies those n transformations with surface snapping interlacing
each step. This steps option handles transformations that cross U-shaped
targets better.
The new snapping options allow the artist to better control which target
objects (objects to which the edited geometry is snapped) are considered
when snapping. In particular, the only option for filtering target
objects was a "Project onto Self", which allowed the currently edited
mesh to be considered as a target. Now, the artist can choose any
combination of the following to be considered as a target: the active
object, any edited object that isn't active (see note below), any non-
edited object. Additionally, the artist has another snapping option to
exclude objects that are not selectable as potential targets.
The Snapping Options dropdown has been lightly reorganized to allow for
the additional options.
Included in this patch:
- Snap target selection is more controllable for artist with additional
snapping options.
- Renamed a few of the snap-related functions to better reflect what
they actually do now. For example, `applySnapping` implies that this
handles the snapping, while `applyProject` implies something entirely
different is done there. However, better names would be
`applySnappingAsGroup` and `applySnappingIndividual`, respectively,
where `applySnappingIndividual` previously only does Face snapping.
- Added an initial coordinate parameter to snapping functions so that
the nearest target before transforming can be determined(for "Snap to
Same Object"), and so the transformation can be broken into smaller
steps (for "Face Nearest Steps").
- Separated the BVH Tree getter code from mesh/edit mesh to its own
function to reduce code duplication.
- Added icon for nearest face snapping.
- The original "Project onto Self" was actually not correct! This option
should be called "Project onto Active" instead, but that only matters
when editing multiple meshes at the same time. This patch makes this
change in the UI.

This commit adds new Unwrap and Pack Islands nodes, with equivalent
functionality to the existing Unwrap and Pack Islands operators. The
Unwrap node uses generic boolean attributes to determine seams instead
of looking at the seam flags in the mesh geometry.
Unlike the Unwrap operator, the Unwrap node doesn't perform aspect
ratio correction, because this is trivial for the user to implement
with a Vector Math node if it is desired.
The Unwrap node implicitly performs a Pack Islands operation upon
completion, because the results may not be generally useful otherwise.
This matches the behaviour of the Unwrap operator.
The nodes use the existing Vector socket type, and do not introduce a
new 2D Vector type (see T92765).

Patch implements better way to control playback speed than it is
possible to do with speed effect. Speed factor property can be set in
Time panel.
There are 2 layers of control:
Option to retime movie to match scene FPS rate.
Custom speed factor to control playback rate.
Since playback rate is strip property, it is now possible to manipulate
strip as normal one even if it is retimed.
To facilitate manipulation, some functions need to consider speed factor
and apply necessary corrections to strip offset or strip start. These
corrections may need to be float numbers, so start and offsets must be
float as well.
Sound strips now use speed factor instead of pitch. This means, that
strips will change length to match usable length. In addition, it is
possible to group movie and sound strip and change speed of meta strip.
The mask is expected to be always be displayed smooth, and the
option mainly existed for some legacy drivers. IF smooth drawing
causes issues it should be fixed in the drawing code, not as an
option in the interface.
