Since a few versions (even before 2.79) we have an option that allows to restrict the vertex tools to operate only on deform groups. This was originally implemented for working with vertex groups for skeletal animation. In that case it is fortunate to have weight tools operate only on deforming vertext groups (vgroups assigned to bones)
In previous versions of Blender (up to 2.79) we have been able to use this option in Mesh Edit mode regardless of the armature mode. The current implementation (since 2.80 as far as i know) enables this option only when the associated armature is in pose mode. this has a bad consequence:
It is not at all intuitive that you have to put the armature into Pose mode before you can make use of the option in mesh edit mode.
Besides this it is not even necessary in the case when the user wants to restrict the tool only to all pose bones. In that case the armature can safely be kept in Object mode. However, when the tool shall apply only to selected pose bones, then it actually makes sense to have the armature in pose mode (as it is implemented right now)
I do not know why this feature has been restricted as described above. It must have got lost somewhere on the way to Blender 2.90
This patch fixes the issue as it allows to select the "restrict to pose bones" option when the armature is in any mode. I see no downsides of this change, actually this is a fix for a feature that once worked and apparently got forgotten in newer releases.

This tool implements smearing for multires displacement over the limit
surface, similar to how smearing for colors and topology slide works.
When used the displacement values of the vertices "slide" over the
topology, creating the effect of smearing the surface detail.
As the brush just modifies displacement values instead of coordinates,
the total displacement of the affected area doesn't change. This means
that this smearing effect can be used multiple times over the same area
without generating any artifacts in the topology.
When the brush is used with the pinch or expand smear modes,
displacement differences are pushed into the same area, creating hard
surface effects without pinching the topology.
As any other brush that relies on the limit surface (like displacement
erasers), this will work better after using apply base.

It's useful to easily see which data-blocks are assets and which not. So just
like we usually show the library linking/override icons, we show the asset icon
there (these are mutually exclusive data-block states).
Uses the `'MAT_SPHERE_SKY` icon, which wasn't used before (except by an
add-on!) and is sorta fitting, but not quite. We should either change this one
or add an own asset icon. Meanwhile this isn't too bad :)
Also adds an internal macro to check if a data-block is an asset, consistent to
how we do it for libraries and library overrides.
This makes it possible to trigger a refresh of the data-block preview,
available next to the preview in the Asset Browser sidebar. The previews get
easily outdated and automatically refreshing it all the time is not an option
because it would be a consistently running, quite expensive process. So a
button to cause a refresh should be reasonable.
This button can also be used to switch back from a custom preview to a
generated one. Although that may not be clear, and we should probably think of
a way to explain that better.

If Preferences > Interface > Temporary Editors > File Browser is set to
"Maximized Area", opening a File Browser from a File or Asset Browser as
regular editor would cause some issues. For example after closing the
temporary File Browser, the regular browser would take over the file
path and display settings from the temporary one. This is because they
used to share the same area data.
Some similar issues may have happend with temporary image editors.
Now, this commit finally separates the space data of temporary maximized
editors from the regular ones. So the editor data is entirely
independent now, as it should be.
This implements a mesh fairing algorithm and implements the fair
operations for Face Set edit. This edit operations create a smooth as
possible geometry patch in the area of the selected Face Set.
The mesh fairing algorithm is designed by Brett Fedack for the addon
"Mesh Fairing": https://github.com/fedackb/mesh-fairing, with some
modifications:
- The main fairing function in BKE_mesh_fair.h does not triangulate
the mesh. For the test I did in sculpt mode results are good enough
without triangulating the topology. Depending on the use and the
result quality needed for a particular tool, the mesh can be
triangulate in the affected area before starting fairing.
- Cotangents loop weights are not implemented yet. The idea is to
also expose the vertex and loop weights in a different function in
case a tool needs to set up custom weights.
This algorithm will also be used to solve the limitations of line
project and implement the Lasso Project and Polyline Project tools.
It can also be used in tools in other areas of Blender, like Edit Mode
or future retopology tools.

This was reported for duplicating particle systems, then using F9 to
enable the 'Duplicate Settings' option (see T83317).
In this case, the operator gets the particle_system from (buttons)
context and if none can get found will duplicate all settings instead.
The reason why none gets found here is that buttons_context() doesnt
have a valid path when called from F9/SCREEN_OT_redo_last, path is
cleared when global undo does a file-read which clears the path (see
lib_link_workspace_layout_restore). It can be recomputed though to be
valid even from redo_last (at least when in the Properties Editor).
This was likely causing other operators (relying on buttons context)
from the Properties Editor to fail as well.

If Preferences > Interface > Temporary Editors > File Browser is set to
"Maximized Area", opening a File Browser from an Asset Browser would
cause the new maximized editor to be an Asset Browser. Exiting it again
would crash.
This fixes the wrong behavior and the crash. There's still an issue with
exiting the editor again, it stays a File Browser then and doesn't go
back to being an Asset Browser. That's to be fixed separately.
Storing the asset library reference by name wasn't a good idea, I thought it
would work with a careful fallback, but it's easier to just use the index
instead. So change to using indices, make sure fallback methods work reliable
and make sure the file list is updated when asset libraries are removed.
I added a new notifier type for the latter, I prefer not using file notifiers
in asset-library/preferences code. We have more than enough values for
notifiers left.
When the Asset Browser was showing the "Current File" repository and the
sidebar was open, undoing could crash, because the context API returned freed
data.
Don't let context return anything if a refresh is pending due to data changes
like undo/redo.
This introduces the User Interface part of the Asset Browser, based on the
design in T54642.
Additions:
* New Asset Browser (internally a sub-editor of the File Browser).
* Navigation region showing asset categories.
* Main region showing the assets of the selected asset library with previews.
The assets may be stored over multiple .blends in the directory that's
"mounted" as asset library in the Preferences. They will all be shown in this
list.
* Header with an asset library dropdown, allowing to choose the active asset
library to show. Options are the "Current File" as asset library and all
custom libraries.
* Display popover, filter popover and search box (partially dummies, see
T82680).
* Sidebar showing the metadata of the currently active file (name, preview,
description and tags), which can be edited for assets in the "Current File"
asset library. (For others it will reset on reload.)
* The sidebar includes a button to load a custom preview image from a file.
* Make asset files draggable (with preview image).
* If a library with invalid path is selected, a message is drawn in the main
region to help the user understand what's wrong.
* Operators to add and remove asset tags. Exposed in the sidebar.
* "Only Assets" option for Link/Append.
* Internal utilities for asset UI scripts.

Note that there are many things to be tweaked and polished in the Asset Browser

One of the core design aspects of the Asset Browser is that users can "mount"
custom asset libraries via the Preferences. Currently an asset library is just
a directory with one or more .blend files in it. We could easily support a
single .blend file as asset library as well (rather than a directory). It's
just disabled currently.
Note that in earlier designs, asset libraries were called repositories.
Idea is simple: In Preferences > File Paths, you can create custom libraries,
by setting a name and selecting a path. The name is ensured to be unique. If
the name or path are empty, the Asset Browser will not show it in the list of
available asset libraries.
The library path is not checked for validity, the Asset Browser will allow
selecting invalid libraries, but show a message instead of the file list, to
help the user understand what's going on.
Of course the actual Asset Browser UI is not part of this commit, it's in one

For the Asset Browser, it needs to be possible to drag assets into various
editors, which may not come from the current .blend file. In other words, the
dragging needs to work with just the asset metadata, without direct access to
the data-block itself.
Idea is simple: When dragging an asset, store the source file-path and
data-block name and when dropping, append the data-block. It uses existing drop
operators, but the function to get the dropped data-block is replaced with one
that returns the local data-block, or, in case of an external asset, appends
the data-block first.
The drop operators need to be adjusted to use this new function that respects
assets. With this patch it only works for dragging assets into the 3D view.
Note that I expect this to be a short-lived change. A refactor like D4071 is
needed to make the drag & drop system more future proof for assets and other
use cases.

This makes it possible to turn data-blocks into assets and back into normal

Object previews are really helpful for visual data-block selection, like asset
browsing. Having them be generative should also be quite handy and should work
well enough in many, if not most cases.
What this does is simple:
* Place the object (actually a deep copy of it, for thread safety) in a virtual
.blend into an empty scene/view-layer.
* Add a camera, point it towards the front of the object, assuming that means
pointing towards its +Y axis.
* Use "Camera Fit Frame to Selected" logic to put the object into frame.
* Create a threaded off-screen render.
Of course, such an automatic preview will not work in all situations. E.g. it
currently does a bad job capturing a single plane. We could add options for
more advanced automatic previews, but probably custom previews is more
important, which I committed already (812ea91842).
