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.

-Remove NPOT check as it should be supported by default with OGL 3.3
-All custom texture creation follow the same path now
-Now explicit texture format is required when creating a custom texture (Non RGBA8)
-Support for arrays of textures

This code was already disabled.
We might be able to simplify GPU_check_scaled_image even further. Maybe even delete it? Just removing the obvious stuff now.
Keeping is_power_of_2_resolution function since it is still used in DXT logic.
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.
Non-power-of-two textures are always allowed. Keeping the disabled checks in the code in case we support OpenGL ES in the future. Even then it should be a compile-time check, not at run-time.
Apparently GL_POINT_SPRITE is important to GL 3.2+ compatibility profile, not just to GL 2.1 as thought.
We'll remove this during the core profile transition.
ARB_framebuffer_object replaces several related EXT extensions. The ARB
version pulls GL 3 FBO features into GL 2.1, useful for Mac platform.
Its functions and enums have no ARB suffix so transition to modern GL
will be seamless!
Extension is checked at startup, so is guaranteed to be true at runtime.

The purpose of the patch is to replace deprecated glShadeModel.
To decrease glShadeModel calls I've set GL_SMOOTH by default

Just avoid some unneeded initialization functions when the threaded
processor is simple enough to only depend on current chunk start
scanline and number of scanlines.
This patch supports "Image or Movie" and "Environment map" types of world texture for the viewport.
It supports:
- "View", "AngMap" and "Equirectangular" types of mapping.
- Different types of texture blending (according to BI world render).
- Same color blending as when it lacked textures (but render via glsl).

The Vector Transform node is a useful node which is present in the Cycles renderer.

The is intended to replace the deprecated glPolygonStipple() calls with a shader
based alternative, once we switch over to GLSL shaders.
Reviewers: brecht
Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D1688
Maybe this is pedantic but I read it’s best to explicitly set the
desired component size.
Also append “_ARB” to float texture formats since those need an
extension in GL 2.1.
