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.

The tool-system it's self is primitive and may be changed.
Adding to 2.8 to develop operators and manipulators as tools.
Currently this is exposed in the toolbar, collapsed by default.
Work-flow remains unchanged if you don't change the active tool.
Placing the 3D cursor is now a Click instead of a Press event,
this allows tweak events to be mapped to tools such as border select,
keeping click for 3D cursor placement when selection tools are set.
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

User Commit Log
---------------
* New Layer and Collection system to replace render layers and viewport layers.
* A layer is a set of collections of objects (and their drawing options) required for specific tasks.
* A collection is a set of objects, equivalent of the old layers in Blender. A collection can be shared across multiple layers.
* All Scenes have a master collection that all other collections are children of.
* New collection "context" tab (in Properties Editor)
* New temporary viewport "collections" panel to control per-collection
visibility
Missing User Features
---------------------
* Collection "Filter"
Option to add objects based on their names
* Collection Manager operators
The existing buttons are placeholders
* Collection Manager drawing
The editor main region is empty
* Collection Override
* Per-Collection engine settings
This will come as a separate commit, as part of the clay-engine branch
Dev Commit Log
--------------
* New DNA file (DNA_layer_types.h) with the new structs
We are replacing Base by a new extended Base while keeping it backward
compatible with some legacy settings (i.e., lay, flag_legacy).
Renamed all Base to BaseLegacy to make it clear the areas of code that
still need to be converted
Note: manual changes were required on - deg_builder_nodes.h, rna_object.c, KX_Light.cpp
* Unittesting for main syncronization requirements
- read, write, add/copy/remove objects, copy scene, collection
link/unlinking, context)
* New Editor: Collection Manager
Based on patch by Julian Eisel
This is extracted from the layer-manager branch. With the following changes:
- Renamed references of layer manager to collections manager
- I doesn't include the editors/space_collections/ draw and util files
- The drawing code itself will be implemented separately by Julian
* Base / Object:
A little note about them. Original Blender code would try to keep them
in sync through the code, juggling flags back and forth. This will now
be handled by Depsgraph, keeping Object and Bases more separated
throughout the non-rendering code.
Scene.base is being cleared in doversion, and the old viewport drawing
code was poorly converted to use the new bases while the new viewport
code doesn't get merged and replace the old one.

This reverts commit 5aa19be912 and b4a721af69.
Due to postponement of particle system rewrite it was decided to put particle code
back into the 2.8 branch for the time being.
There are a lot of cases here where deciding for removal is a bit tricky.
Many features have options for "use_particles" and similar settings. Only
features which actually store a particle object reference or work on actual
particle data have been removed.
Currently, code just checks whether a text-edited button uses a given icon (VIEWZOOM) to decide to apply changes on each typed char.
This patch adds a propper button flag (UI_BUT_TEXTEDIT_UPDATE) and a dedicated RNA flag (PROP_TEXTEDIT_UPDATE) for that.
It's also now usable not only for text buttons, but also for example for num buttons when in 'text edit' mode, etc.
It also fixes an actual bug, which is for text properties, in 'immediate' mode, hitting escape would not restore org value, because `ui_apply_but_TEX()` would set its orgstr to NULL on first call (giving it to `but->rename_orig` instead of copying it).
Note no change in behavior is expected from user POV.
Update for addons using that 'VIEWZOOM' icon 'feature' will follow (if any).

This commit organized panels for image editor to new tab categories dependent
on the image editor mode:
View Mode:
Tools - contains UV tools (currently only transform and UV Sculpting)
Scopes - contains scopes
Grease Pencil - contains Grease Pencil operators
Paint Mode:
Tools - contains brush options
Scopes - as above
Grease Pencil - as above
Mask Mode
Mask - contains mask tools
Scopes - as above
Grease Pencil - as above
Grease Pencil panel/tab now includes operators, not view options which have been
moved to the UI region on the right.
To make this work better, image editor toolbar now is of type TOOLS instead
of PREVIEW as was the case previously. A nice version patch makes sure all
works predictably, but opening newer files with older blender executables
could backfire.
This commit does not address which UV Tools will be included in the
Tools tab for the view mode, but does include some basic tools (transform)
and provides a class to inherit from to avoid conflicts with UV Sculpting.

Thanks to Brecht for the reviews. :)
This commit adds a show/hide extension below each uiList, containing by default an option to filter and/or reorder items by name (and to reverse those filtering and reordering).
Each derived uiList class in Python can define more specific filtering by implementing callbacks: the draw_filter() function to draw options in UI, and the filter_items() function to effectively filter/reorder items.
Note: the advanced options for vgroups shown as "proof od concept" in patches do not go in trunk for now, we have to find a better way to get those vgroups info for UI code, we can't afford to loop over each vertex here!
And doc (release notes and uiList example) is still to be updated, will do this in next days.
The addons panel draw function calls addon_utils.modules() which in turn retrieves a list of fake modules from the script paths every time. This can become costly when network paths are included for
addons. Solution is to put the scanning process into a dedicated "refresh" function and disable it in frequently called draw and filter functions, i.e. in these cases the cached addons_fake_modules list
will be used instead.
Note that this may lead to invalid addon lists if script paths are changed (which is not working 100% without restart anyway according to Campbell). For this there is now a "Refresh" operator button in
the addons preferences. If necessary and feasible such forced refreshes can be added later too.
- making this change now because some addons developers are interested in showing keymap UI in their addons prefs and using the class involved making a fake class instance which isnt needed.
It removes buttons_header.c file, adds a (small) space_properties.py one, with a PROPERTIES_HT_header class, which simply uses the RNA enum to draw the context buttons.
It also fixes that enum, btw, it always featured all contexts, which means you could (try to!) set through RNA invalid contexts...
Thanks to brecht and dingto for the reviews.

Also updated source/blender/blenkernel/intern/linestyle.c as a follow-up of
recent changes for the use of bool.
The code in this file is NOT restricted to use in object context only. Renaming
it makes it easier to find this file (taking in account name truncations).
draw_item *is* optional (it then uses default C function), even though there is not much sense to register a class without it, except for our default UI_UL_list!
Constraints connect two rigid bodies.
Depending on which constraint is used different degrees of freedom
are limited, e.g. a hinge constraint only allows the objects to rotate
around a common axis.
Constraints are implemented as individual objects and bahave similar to
rigid bodies in terms of adding/removing/validating.
The position and orientation of the constraint object is the pivot point
of the constraint.
Constraints have their own group in the rigid body world.
To make connecting rigid bodies easier, there is a "Connect" operator that
creates an empty objects with a rigid body constraint connecting the selected
objects to active.
Currently the following constraints are implemented:
* Fixed
* Point
* Hinge
* Slider
* Piston
* Generic
Note: constraint limits aren't animatable yet).
Add operators to add/remove rigid body world and objects.
Add UI scripts.
The rigid body simulation works on scene level and overrides the
position/orientation of rigid bodies when active.
It does not deform meshes or generate data so there is no modifier.
Usage:
* Add rigid body world in the scene tab
* Create a group
* Add objects to the group
* Assign group to the rigid body world
* Play animation
For convenience the rigid body tools operators in the tools panel of the 3d view
will add a world, group and add objects to the group automatically so you only have
to press one button to add/remove rigid bodies to the simulation.

It introduces a new (py-extendable and registrable) RNA type, UIList (roughly similar to Panel one), which currently contains only "standard" list's scroll pos and size (but may be expended to include e.g. some filtering data, etc.). This now makes lists completely independent from Panels!
This UIList has a draw_item callback which allows to customize items' drawing from python, that all addons can now use. Incidentally, this also greatly simplifies the C code of this widget, as we do not code any "special case" here anymore!
To make all this work, other changes were also necessary:
* Now all buttons (uiBut struct) have a 'custom_data' void pointer, used currently to store the uiList struct associated with a given uiLayoutListBox.
* DynamicPaintSurface now exposes a new bool, use_color_preview (readonly), saying whether that surface has some 3D view preview data or not.
* UILayout class has now four new (static) functions, to get the actual icon of any RNA object (important e.g. with materials or textures), and to get an enum item's UI name, description and icon.
* UILayout's label() func now takes an optional 'icon_value' integer parameter, which if not zero will override the 'icon' one (mandatory to use "custom" icons as generated for material/texture/... previews).
Note: not sure whether we should add that one to all UILayout's prop funcs?
Note: will update addons using template list asap.
This commit makes a set of fixes and improvements based on the results of
Freestyle branch review by Brecht. The discussion thread is:
http://lists.blender.org/pipermail/bf-committers/2012-October/037927.html
* The Layers panel and Freestyle-related panels in the Render tab of the
Properties window were moved to the newly created Render Layers tab.
The idea is to separate per render layer rendering options into a distinct
Properties window tab, and use the existing Render tab to accommodate
per scene rendering options.
* The new Freestyle panel was added in the Render tab. The panel header
contains a toggle button for globally enabling Freestyle, with the aim of making
Freestyle easier to find. Those Freestyle options in the Post Processing panel
were also moved to the new panel.
* GUI code was updated so that UI controls will be greyed out (instead of
being hidden) when Freestyle is disabled. Additional UI changes were also
made to reduce space consumption.
* The list of line sets was moved from the Freestyle panel to the Freestyle:
Line Sets panel.
* Old ray-casting algorithms were removed from the UI. Now only two
algorithms (culled and non-culled cumulative visibility detection algorithms)
are available, and the selection is done by the new "Culling" toggle button
within the edge detection options.
