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.

Things here are simple, selected bone joint could have same priority as
unselected bone, so bone would always win. Gave joints a little more
priority than bones, usually user will be more precise just to select
the joint anyway.
Attempt to select closest bones when possible.
Occlusion query selection does't support this well because we can't
really derive depth information from occlusion tests. May be possible to
improve this somewhat in the future.
This patch creates an interface for selection mechanisms in opengl. This
makes it possible to switch between occlusion query based or select
rendermode based selection transparently.
This is really useful on graphics drivers that do not accelerate the
select rendermode path (some ATI cards are notorious for this, and the
new path is used by default there), since occlusion queries are always
hardware accelerated due to their use in games.
The option can be found under system - selection. Auto just enables
occlusion queries for ATI users while the rest of the options enforce
one of the two methods always.
There is just one known change, previous code enforced nearest bone to
always get selected, even when mouse selecting near the same position, I
couldn't replicate the behaviour though.
patch by me with edits and review by Campbell.
Thanks!
This commit splits editarmature.c and poseobject.c into several files, such that
certain types of functionality are (mostly) self-contained within particular
files (instead of being mixed in with other functionality in a large file).
In particular, this was done so that:
1) Armature EditMode tools are now in the armature_*.c files only, and Pose Mode
tools in pose_*.c files only.
- In one or two cases, this hasn't been possible as the two modes rely on
much of the same shared infrastructure.
2) The "clear loc/rot/scale" operators and pose show/hide are no longer housed
in editarmature.c
3) Selection operators, Transform operators, structural (add/delete) operators,
and supporting utilities for the modes (enter/exit/roll-calculations) are not
all interleaved in an ad-hoc manner
Notes:
* I've tried to ensure that the history of the new files has been maintained by
doing
svn copy {editarmature.c/poseobject.c} {armature_*.c/pose_*.c}
Unfortunately, this means that the diffs are a bit messy.
* There should be no functional/logic changes here. Just code moving around and
cosmetic comment tweaks where needed.
* #includes have largely been untouched for now, but could be cleaned up later
* CMake changes untested, but should work in theory.
