We could not edit them, but still could delete them, which makes no
sense, API-defined properties are similar to class members, removing
them from single instances is pure garbage. And it was broken anyway.
Found by @a.romanov while checking on T51198, thanks.
Doing this in a fully 'clean' way is far from obvious, especially
unregister, you often end up leaving nasty 'orphanned' keymap items
referring to unregistered operators...
Moving to manual class registration means its easier to accidentally
miss registering classes.
Now detect missing class registration
and warn when running with `--debug-python`
This adds the ability to switch between different application-configurations
without interfering with Blender's normal operation.
This commit doesn't include any templates,
so its mostly to allow collaboration for the Blender 101 project
and other custom configurations.
Application templates can be installed & selected from the file menu.
Other details:
- The `bl_app_template_utils` module handles template activation
(similar to `addon_utils`).
- The `bl_app_override` module is a general module
to assist scripts overriding parts of Blender in reversible way.
See docs:
https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/dev/advanced/app_templates.html
See patch: D2565
- Add optional 'display_name' callback
so callers can construct own names.
- Add optional 'prop_filepath' argument
(for operators that don't use "filepath").
- Add doc-string.
- Use keyword only arguments.
This was causing blender to segfault.
We now add create a new collection and link to the layer before adding
the new object
(also included unittests, and requires updated lib/tests)
Design Documents

* https://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:2.8/Source/DataDesignRevised
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.

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.
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.
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.

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.
Do not close and re-open the file in case it's compressed, gzip module can now directly take a file object as parameter.

All in all, this patch adds an Alembic importer, an Alembic exporter,
and a new CacheFile data block which, for now, wraps around an Alembic
archive. This data block is made available through a new modifier ("Mesh
Sequence Cache") as well as a new constraint ("Transform Cache") to
somewhat properly support respectively geometric and transformation data
streaming from alembic caches.
A more in-depth documentation is to be found on the wiki, as well as a
guide to compile alembic: https://wiki.blender.org/index.php/
User:Kevindietrich/AlembicBasicIo.
Many thanks to everyone involved in this little project, and huge shout
out to "cgstrive" for the thorough testings with Maya, 3ds Max, Houdini
and Realflow as well as @fjuhec, @jensverwiebe and @jasperge for the
custom builds and compile fixes.
