Even though it makes sense logically to have displacement actually displace
the mesh, this is causing a lot of confusion for existing users that are used
to the previous behavior. Further, since Eevee does not support displacement
yet and the discrepancy between the viewport and final render is problematic.
TH_BACK was being used when drawing the 3D view even though
there was no way to set the color in the preferences.
The color was zero'd when moving to the new 2.8x theme.
Having both gradient and background colors was confusing,
especially having to use 'TH_HIGH_GRAD' for the 3D view, 'TH_BACK' for
other views.
Move the background color back to 'TH_BACK', 'TH_BACK_GRAD' is used
when gradients are enabled.

Seriously... There is no point in having those subversions if one does
not take advantage of them to reduce doversion work on file load! Now we
have to raise subversion again just for that. :(
A few reasons motivating this change:
* It works well for all devices: mouse, trackpad, and tablet pens.
* For beginners or users coming from other software, it's easier to get
started and avoids an initial stumbling block.
* Many users in 2.7 (about half?) were already using left click select, so
combined with the above advantages it makes for a practical default.
Note that we continue to support right click select, as many experienced
Blender users (and developers) see efficiency advantages in this approach.
The option to switch is in the first time setup splash screen, and in the
user preferences.
Implements the first changes for T54115:
* Rename "User Preferences" window to "Settings" in the UI.
We'll likely put workspace settings in there, separate from the global
user settings. System settings should become separate from user
settings in future to allow settings for specific hardware.
* Add sidebar region for navigation (scrolls independently).
Addresses space problems, so we can add more categories as needed now.
* Increase size of Settings window to compensate new navigation bar.
* Group sections into User Preferences and System.
Icons for section groups by Andrzej Ambroz. Thanks!
* Bumps subversion for file compatibility.

I also added categories for future work, but commented them out.
We may also want to redesign contents of each section now.

For Blender builtin configurations the option to choose the select mouse remains
and is now also in the splash screen. It works by changing the keymap dynamically
in the script, rather than using special events.
The system of automatic switching of events was not flexible enough to deal with
side effects that require further keymap changes, so it is now under more manual
control in the script.
This breaks compatibility for some scripts and exported key configurations.
These can be fixed by replacing SELECTMOUSE, ACTIONMOUSE, EVT_TWEAK_S and
EVT_TWEAK_A with appropriate LEFTMOUSE, RIGHTMOUSE, EVT_TWEAK_L and
EVT_TWEAK_R events.
Other than that, there should be no functional changes.
The toolbar now shows brush types, the brush selector now
only shows brushes matching the current tool type.
Details:
- Add's Paint.tool_slots (used by the toolbar).
- Removed custom grease pencil brush tool code.
- Bumped subversion.
See T57526 for details.
Moves the Properties editor context switching to a vertical tabs region.
Design Task: T54951
Differential Revison: D3840
The tabs are regular widgets, unlike the 'old' toolshelf tabs. This means they
give mouse hover feedback, have tooltips, support the right-click menu, etc.
Also, when vertical screen space gets tight, the tabs can be scrolled, they
don't shrink like the toolshelf ones.
The tab region is slightly larger than the header. The tabs are scaled up
accordingly. This makes them nicely readable.
The header is quite empty now. As shown in T54951, we wanted to have a search
button there. This should be added next.
Implementation Notes:
* Added a new region type, RGN_TYPE_NAVIGATION.
* Having the tabs in a separate region allows scrolling of the tab-bar, unlike
the toolshelf tabs. We might want to remove the scrollbars though.
* Added a new region flag RGN_FLAG_PREFSIZE_OR_HIDDEN, to ensure the tab region
is either hidden or has a fixed size.
* Added some additional flags to support fine-tuning the layout in panel and
layout code.
* Bumps subversion.
With the new automatic handle algorithm, it is possible to do a lot
of the animation via keyframes without touching the curves. It is
however necessary to change the keyframe interpolation and handle
types in certain cases. Currently the dopesheet/action editor
allows changing the types, but does not show them in any way.
To fix, add a new menu option to display this information. For handle
type, it is represented using the shape of the key icons: diamond for
Free, clipped diamond for Aligned, square for Vector, circle for Auto
Clamp, and cirle with dot for Automatic.
Non-bezier interpolation is a property of intervals between keys,
so it is marked by drawing lines, similar to holds. In this initial
version, only the fact of non-bezier interpolation is displayed,
without distinguishing types. For summaries, the line is drawn at
half alpha if not all curves in the group are non-bezier.
In addition, it is sometimes helpful to know the general direction
of change of the curve, and which keys are extremes. This commit
also adds an option to highlight extremes, based on comparing the
keyed values with adjacent keys. Half-intensity display is used
for overshot bezier extremes, or non-uniform summaries.

Add the necessary colors and/or alpha components to the theme instead.
Also switch the background for ordinary channels to use the likely
intended theme option, instead of the window background color.
The general rule is that the channel color is drawn full strength in the
channel list on the left, and with alpha in the actual key frame area on
the right. This alpha is also reused with bone group colors.

For now we have categories collection, object, object data, modifiers &
constraints, and shading. The icons can be categorized by adding e.g.
DEF_ICON_OBJECT() in UI_icons.h.
Light themes will need to be updated to use darker colors to keep icons
visible in the outliner.
Custom handle settings actually affect the B-Bone rest shape,
so they should be changed in Edit mode rather than Pose mode.
This is necessary to be able to display the correct rest shape
of the bone in Edit Mode.
Also, instead of flags, introduce an enum to specify the handle
operation modes, so that new ones could be added later.
Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D3588
This makes the Edit Mesh display settings common to all objects. They can
also be set differently per viewport.
Modifying extra data (seams, sharp edges etc...) will no longer set them
automaticaly visible.
Bumping version because we need to force set all extra draw options for
older files.
Since shape keys are stored as raw floating point data, this
unfortunately requires changes to all code that works with it.
An additional complication is that bezier and nurbs control
points have different entry size, and can be mixed in the same
object (and hence shape key buffer).
Shape key entries are changed from:
bezier: float v1[3], v2[3], v3[3], tilt, pad, pad;
nurbs: float vec[3], tilt;
To:
bezier: float v1[3], v2[3], v3[3], tilt, radius, pad;
nurbs: float vec[3], tilt, radius, pad;
The official shape key element size is changed to 3 floats,
with 4 elements for bezier nodes, and 2 for nurbs. This also
means that the element count is not equal to the vertex count
anymore.
While searching for all curve Shape Key code, I also found that
BKE_curve_transform_ex and BKE_curve_translate were broken. This
can be seen by trying to change the Origin of a Curve with keys.

We actually still had cases of Meta strip duplication resulting in
non-unique strip names. Quiet surprising this went unoticed for so long. :(
Fixed that bug, and think it was last one (at least, no other case of
SEQ_DUPE_UNIQUE_NAME usage should be broken, I think...), and raised
subversion and updated doversion to run uniquename check on strips on
all previous fileversions.
Note: will have to do that again when merging in 2.8...
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.
This means the shader can now be used for procedural texturing. New

Technically we probably need to do for the current subversion (17).
But the entirely 2.80 series is known to be experimental.
The most important part is to notify people that if they open the 2.80
file in master it will loose data.
In the Python API, any panel becomes a subpanel by setting bl_parent_id
to the name of the parent panel. These subpanels can contain advanced or
less commonly used settings.
Hair Particles shape properties are ported from cycles. Thoses properties
have the same defaults and have a do_version of their own. Cycles will use
theses properties instead of its custom ones.
Some realtime engine specific settings are also added to scene->r because
it's much easier to control as global values.
Bumping Version number so cycles can do its own do_version on top of the
default settings.
Allows more than one snap mode to be enabled. So different combinations are possible.

OVERVIEW
* In 2.7 terminology, all layers and groups are now collection datablocks.
* These collections are nestable, linkable, instanceable, overrideable, ..
which opens up new ways to set up scenes and link + override data.
* Viewport/render visibility and selectability are now a part of the collection
and shared across all view layers and linkable.
* View layers define which subset of the scene collection hierarchy is excluded
for each. For many workflows one view layer can be used, these are more of an
advanced feature now.
OUTLINER
* The outliner now has a "View Layer" display mode instead of "Collections",
which can display the collections and/or objects in the view layer.
* In this display mode, collections can be excluded with the right click menu.
These will then be greyed out and their objects will be excluded.
* To view collections not linked to any scene, the "Blender File" display mode
can be used, with the new filtering option to just see Colleciton datablocks.
* The outliner right click menus for collections and objects were reorganized.
* Drag and drop still needs to be improved. Like before, dragging the icon or
text gives different results, we'll unify this later.
LINKING AND OVERRIDES
* Collections can now be linked into the scene without creating an instance,
with the link/append operator or from the collections view in the outliner.
* Collections can get static overrides with the right click menu in the outliner,
but this is rather unreliable and not clearly communicated at the moment.
* We still need to improve the make override operator to turn collection instances
into collections with overrides directly in the scene.
PERFORMANCE
* We tried to make performance not worse than before and improve it in some
cases. The main thing that's still a bit slower is multiple scenes, we have to
change the layer syncing to only updated affected scenes.
* Collections keep a list of their parent collections for faster incremental
updates in syncing and caching.
* View layer bases are now in a object -> base hash to avoid quadratic time
lookups internally and in API functions like visible_get().
VERSIONING
* Compatibility with 2.7 files should be improved due to the new visibility
controls. Of course users may not want to set up their scenes differently
now to avoid having separate layers and groups.
* Compatibility with 2.8 is mostly there, and was tested on Eevee demo and Hero
files. There's a few things which are know to be not quite compatible, like
nested layer collections inside groups.
* The versioning code for 2.8 files is quite complicated, and isolated behind
#ifdef so it can be removed at the end of the release cycle.
KNOWN ISSUES
* The G-key group operators in the 3D viewport were left mostly as is, they
need to be modified still to fit better.
* Same for the groups panel in the object properties. This needs to be updated
still, or perhaps replaced by something better.
* Collections must all have a unique name. Less restrictive namespacing is to
be done later, we'll have to see how important this is as all objects within
the collections must also have a unique name anyway.
* Full scene copy and delete scene are exactly doing the right thing yet.

After a lot of failed attempts and head banging working trying to find a way to reuse
the standard editor-switching/creation code, I've just hacked in a temporary solution
here so that users can load old files and see the old timeline instances replaced
with Dopesheet-Timelines.
Note: This is not nice code, and copies a lot of the standard initialisation code,
but it works well enough for now. We can revisit this later when the other mode changes
come along.
Brecht authored this commit, but he gave me the honours to actually
do it. Here it goes; Blender Internal. Bye bye, you did great!
* Point density, voxel data, ocean, environment map textures were removed,
as these only worked within BI rendering. Note that the ocean modifier
and the Cycles point density shader node continue to work.
* Dynamic paint using material shading was removed, as this only worked
with BI. If we ever wanted to support this again probably it should go
through the baking API.
* GPU shader export through the Python API was removed. This only worked
for the old BI GLSL shaders, which no longer exists. Doing something
similar for Eevee would be significantly more complicated because it
uses a lot of multiplass rendering and logic outside the shader, it's
probably impractical.
* Collada material import / export code is mostly gone, as it only worked
for BI materials. We need to add Cycles / Eevee material support at some
point.
* The mesh noise operator was removed since it only worked with BI
material texture slots. A displacement modifier can be used instead.
* The delete texture paint slot operator was removed since it only worked
for BI material texture slots. Could be added back with node support.
* Not all legacy viewport features are supported in the new viewport, but
their code was removed. If we need to bring anything back we can look at
older git revisions.
* There is some legacy viewport code that I could not remove yet, and some
that I probably missed.
* Shader node execution code was left mostly intact, even though it is not
used anywhere now. We may eventually use this to replace the texture
nodes with Cycles / Eevee shader nodes.
* The Cycles Bake panel now includes settings for baking multires normal
and displacement maps. The underlying code needs to be merged properly,
and we plan to add back support for multires AO baking and add support
to Cycles baking for features like vertex color, displacement, and other
missing baking features.
* This commit removes DNA and the Python API for BI material, lamp, world
and scene settings. This breaks a lot of addons.
* There is more DNA that can be removed or renamed, where Cycles or Eevee
are reusing some old BI properties but the names are not really correct
anymore.
* Texture slots for materials, lamps and world were removed. They remain
for brushes, particles and freestyle linestyles.
* 'BLENDER_RENDER' remains in the COMPAT_ENGINES of UI panels. Cycles and
other renderers use this to find all panels to show, minus a few panels
that they have their own replacement for.
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.

This is used to determine which voxels are to be considered empty space.
