Both the scene and workspace had an active view layer, and it was confusing
which settings were being used or displayed where. Now we always have one,
so there is no mismatch.
The "View Layers" tab in the properties editor is now "View Layer", no longer
showing a list of layers. Instead view layers can be added and removed with
the workspace view layer selector. They are also listed and selectable in the
outliner.
Single layer rendering uses the active view layer from the workspace.
This fixes bugs where the wrong active view layer was used, but more places
remain that are wrong and are now using the first view layer in the scene.
These are all marked with BKE_view_layer_context_active_PLACEHOLDER.
When creating an offscreen context we need wglCreatePbufferARB to create
a drawable. In non-background mode wglCreatePbufferARB would have been set
by the main window creation code. But in background mode this is not the
case so we need to create a dummy context using the screen window to init
wglew properly.
Multi-View was never a per-viewlayer option. And now that we have viewlayer
it is better to name it in a more recognizable way:
"Stereoscopy" instad of plain "Views".
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.
Folders removed entirely:
* //extern/recastnavigation
* //intern/decklink
* //intern/moto
* //source/blender/editors/space_logic
* //source/blenderplayer
* //source/gameengine
This includes DNA data and any reference to the BGE code in Blender itself.
We are bumping the subversion.
Pending tasks:
* Tile/clamp code in image editor draw code.
* Viewport drawing code (so much of this will go away because of BI removal
that we can wait until then to remove this.
The depsgraph was always created within a fixed evaluation context. Passing
both risks the depsgraph and evaluation context not matching, and it
complicates the Python API where we'd have to expose both which is not so
easy to understand.
This also removes the global evaluation context in main, which assumed there
to be a single active scene and view layer.

This uniforms can be used to have a unique id for each drawcall of a shgrp.
This only works for standard shgroups and is an exception for the outline
drawing.
For correct results these must have been set already when the depsgraph was
created and evaluated, so all dependencies have appropriate resolutions too.
For particle we no longer backup and restore the viewport particles to avoid
overwriting them during render, as copy-on-write solves this for us. Even
without COW particles seem to work ok.
This also removes the particle simplification options based on camera. This
was never used much and only available in Blender Internal.

The new constraint is slower and not backward compatible, but should
be better, especially in the damping side. The new constraint also
has a different valid range of the damping coefficient, and a limit
implementation that bounces instead of making the object stationary.

The issue was mainly visible when copy-on-write was enabled. This was forcing
lots of meshes to be freed from multiple thread, causing all sorts of race
conditions in Gawain's VAO code.
OpenGL resources seems already to be doing deferred deletion, need to do the
same for CPU side arrays.
Better fix for T54457. It seems Debian compiles OpenVDB without ABI 3
compatibility, while Arch does enable it as is the default in the OpeVDB
CMake build system.
So now there's an option that the distribution can set depending on how
they compile their OpenVDB package.
- Undo that changes modes currently asserts,
since undo is now screen data.
Most likely we will change how object mode and workspaces work
since it's not practical/maintainable at the moment.
- Removed view_layer from particle settings
(wasn't needed and complicated undo).
