Most of the time Stretch To is used in actual rigs, like BlenRig
or Rigify, in combination with Damped Track to handle rotation
before the stretch, because it produces rotations more appropriate
for organic deformation, and doesn't flip because of internal
gimbal lock.
The prevalence of this pattern suggests that Stretch To should
support that kind of rotation directly as an option.

This introduces object mode tagging for data which hasn't yet been
written back to the ID data.
Now when selecting other sculpt objects, the original objects data is
flushed back to the ID before writing a memfile undo step.
To recreate the main issue:
* Set render and file browser to show in full-screen in the preferences
* Default scene, press F12 in 3D View
* Press Alt+S to save the image
* Escape the file browser
* Escape the image editor
The former 3D View would now show the image editor. This is a common
use-case that should work.
Full-screen code is a hassle to get to work as expected. There are
reports from 2.5, I did lots of work years ago to get these kind of
use-cases to work fine. But apparently I broke this one with a fix for
another common use-case in March (0a28bb1422).
This now stores hints in the space, rather than the area, which should
make things much more controlable and hopefully help us fix issues like
this.
Here are a few references describing further common issues (all should
work fine now): 0a28bb1422, e61588c5a5, T19296
Checked over this with Bastien, we agreed that at some point we should
do a big rewrite of all of this, for now this is acceptable.
This adds a new mode to solidify to support non-manifold geometry
with edges using 3 or more faces as input, resulting in a manifold mesh.
Since the differences between these methods don't translate well
into short terms, they're named "Simple" and "Complex" in the UI.
This also adds clamp with respect to angles
to the existing solidify modifier calculation.
Add new `Backface Culling` option to the snapping properties.
This option has nothing to do with the view3d display or the
workbench `Backface Culling` option.
Limitation:
- In edit mode, this option only affects snap to faces.

This adds the ID-Filters visible on append/link to the settings the file
browser remembers, potentially storing them in the Preferences.
Artists in the studio here requested this. They typically have to set up
the same or similar settings every time, so this saves them from that.
Proposed fix for T70141.
Before, the ruler was using the name of the layer as key, but this is very weak because if the layer name changes, the layer gets an annotation layer.
Now, the layer is marked using a flag and now it's possible to rename it.

Users now can turn on in a viewport collections that are temporarily
hidden (eye) in the view layer.
Design task: T61327
As for the implementation, I had to decouple the visibility in the
depsgraph from the visibility in the view layer.
Also there is a "bug" that in a way was there before which is some
operators (e.g., writing a text inside of a text object, tab into edit
mode) run regardless of the visibility of the active object. The bug was
present already (with object type visibility restriction) in 2.80 so if
we decide to tackle it, can be done separately (I have a patch for it
though P1132).

The default was changed with an initial implementation of the feature.
With the feedback from animators, having a behavior which affects curves
outside of a changing range is not convenient for professional animators
working on high quality character animation. On the other hand, automatic
smoothing is better for casual animation of object motion.
This change adds an ability to change the default via User Preferences.

Alt-LMB is used in quite a few areas now, see T69323
using OS-Key allows these conflicts to be avoided.
Currently disabled for WIN32, since it conflicts with the start menu.
This applies to all paint modes except sculpt and grease pencil brushes.
When painting color or weight it's best to paint the color
the user has selected, without them having to make multiple strokes.
This makes it so that some display related properties of the file
browser state are remembered in the Preferences. Otherwise, users often
end up doing the same set up work over and over again, so this is a
nice way to save users some work.
It's typical for other file browsers to remember their state too, so
another benefit is having a more conventional behavior, meeting user
expectations better.
Some points:
* We currently store: Window size, display type, thumbnail size,
enabled details-columns, sort options, "Show Hidden" option. More can
be added easily.
* No changes are stored to the Preferences if "Auto-save Preferences"
is disabled. This is how Quick Favorites behave too and it's a
reasonable way to make this behavior optional.
* The Preferences are only saved to permanent memory upon closing
Blender, following existing convention of Preferences and Quick
Favorites.
* If settings weren't actually changed, Preference saving is skipped.
* Only temporary file browsers save their state (invoked through
actions like open or save), not regular file browser editors. These
are usually used for different purposes and workflows.
* Removes "Show Thumbnails" Preferences option. It would need some
special handling, possibly introducing bugs. For users, this
simplifies behavior and should make things more predictable.
Left in DNA data in case we decide to bring it back.

With the previous behavior, it was impossible to manipulate areas with a lot of complex shapes like fingers, as the pose origin was calculated only with the topology inside the radius.
With pose offset, the previous method is used to calculate the direction of the "bone", and an extra offset is added on top of it. This way you can set the pose origin in the correct place in this kind of situations. The pose factor grows to fit the new rotation origin.

This commit fixes most of the issues we currently have in the voxel remesher. Mesh volume is preserved when doing multiple iterations, so the sculpt won't shrink and smooth each time you run the remesher. Mesh topology is much better, fixing most issues related to mask extraction and other topology based operations.

These were only strictly valid for texture space calculation, don't store them
since they should not be used after that. Only store a flag to indicate if the
auto texture space has been evaluated.
In the future it might make sense to store bounding boxes at the mesh level to
speed up bounding box computation for multiple objects using the same mesh, but
then it will need to be implemented differently.
The problem was that the object and collection pointers in Base and
LayerCollection would get lost of file read. Normally such ID pointers would
be resolved by pointing to an ID_ID placeholder which has the datablock name,
and then replacing it will the real datablock. However ID_ID is only written
for directly linked datablocks.
This adds the concept of an indirectly linked datablock with a weak reference
to it. For this we write an ID_ID_WEAK_REF code, which is a reference that
will only be resolved if the datablock was read for another reason.
