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).

For many users, this will make the File Browser window behave more like
what they would expect. It addresses the issue of the File Browser
becoming hidden behind the main window by clicking anywhere in the
latter. It communicates the interruptive, but temporary nature of the
operation a bit better.
Further, on tiling window managers the File Browser now opens as
floating by default, like in other applications.
Note that this also makes sure the File Browser is always opened as
separate window, so it doesn't re-use the Preferences, or any other
temporary window anymore. This seems to have been a common annoyance.
More concretely, this makes the File Browser window behave as follows:
* Stays on top of its parent Blender window, but not on top of
non-Blender windows.
* Minimizes with its parent window
* Can be moved independently
* Doesn't add an own item in task bars
* Doesn't block other Blender windows (we may want to have this though)
* Opens as floating window for tiling window managers (e.g. i3wm/Sway)
Further notes:
* When opening a file browser from the Preference window (or any
temporary window), the main window, as the file browsers parent is
moved on top of the Preferences, which makes it seem like the
Preferences were closed. This is the general issue of bad secondary
window handling as window activation changes. I made it so that the
window is moved back once the file browser is closed.
This behavior is confusing and would be nice to avoid. It's a separate
issue though.
* On most window managers on Linux the temporary window can not be
minimized and maximized, they disable that for dialog windows.
* On Windows and macOS, only minimizing is disabled, as there is no
decent way yet to restore a window if it's not shown in the taskbar.

Part of T69652.
Moves the render display type (to choose between rendering in a new
window, in a fullscreen area, in an Image Editor, etc) from the scene to
the preferences.
Currently unused, but will allow to keep of an owner of the depsgraph.
Could also simplify other APIs in the future by avoiding to pass bmain
explicitly to relation update functions and things like that.
The old layout of `PointerRNA` was confusing for historic reasons:
```
typedef struct PointerRNA {
struct {
void *data;
} id;
struct StructRNA *type;
void *data;
} PointerRNA;
```
This patch updates it to:
```
typedef struct PointerRNA {
struct ID *owner_id;
struct StructRNA *type;
void *data;
} PointerRNA;
```
Throughout the code base `id.data` was replaced with `owner_id`.
Furthermore, many explicit pointer type casts were added which
were implicit before. Some type casts to `ID *` were removed.

This change ensures that operators which needs access to evaluated data
first makes sure there is a dependency graph.
Other accesses to the dependency graph made it more explicit about
whether they just need a valid dependency graph pointer or whether they
expect the graph to be already evaluated.
This replaces OPTYPE_USE_EVAL_DATA which is now removed.
Some general rules about usage of accessors:
- Drawing is expected to happen from a fully evaluated dependency graph.
There is now a function to access it, which will in the future control
that dependency graph is actually evaluated.
This check is not yet done because there are some things to be taken
care about first: for example, post-update hooks might leave scene in
a state where something is still tagged for update.
- All operators which needs to access evaluated state must use
CTX_data_ensure_evaluated_depsgraph().
This function replaces OPTYPE_USE_EVAL_DATA.
The call is generally to be done in the very beginning of the
operator, prior other logic (unless this is some comprehensive
operator which might or might not need access to an evaluated state).
This call is never to be used from a loop.
If some utility function requires evaluated state of dependency graph
the graph is to be passed as an explicit argument. This way it is
clear that no evaluation happens in a loop or something like this.
- All cases which needs to know dependency graph pointer, but which
doesn't want to actually evaluate it can use old-style function
CTX_data_depsgraph_pointer(), assuming that underlying code will
ensure dependency graph is evaluated prior to accessing it.
- The new functions are replacing OPTYPE_USE_EVAL_DATA, so now it is
explicit and local about where dependency graph is being ensured.
This commit also contains some fixes of wrong usage of evaluation
functions on original objects. Ideally should be split out, but in
reality with all the APIs being renamed is quite tricky.
Fixes T67454: Blender crash on rapid undo and select
Speculation here is that sometimes undo and selection operators are
sometimes handled in the same event loop iteration, which leaves
non-evaluated dependency graph.

With Eevee the user interface, 3D viewport and small icon materials previews
are rendered on the same GPU. This can lead to some choppy interaction when
dragging sliders. Delaying the icon preview render until the user is done with
that helps a bit, though it's no guarantee.
When exporting annotations using `bpy.ops.render.opengl` the annotations
where only correct in the first frame. In the second frame the
annotations was shifted by half the resolution.
This change will reset the GPU matrices when the annotations are
rendered.
Cheap tip: anything that is not "Camel Case" and/or that is more than
a few words long should use `TIP_` translation, not `IFACE_` one.
Also added several missing strings (including the one reported in D5056
by Jean First (@robbott), thanks).
Was very easy to reproduce by rendering sequencer with sound strip.
Need to use evaluated scene to open movie handle, since that is the only
scene which has proper sound handle with everything else attached to it.
When rendering the Sequencer using viewport rendering the annotations
were not scaled to respect the scene render size. This was because the
matrices were calculated based on the output size and not the actual
rendersize.

When rendering viewport to an offscreen buffer the buffer was
constructed for non anti aliasing (0 samples). This made the objects
that are drawn by the `object_mode` including `wireframe` draw type
non-anti-aliased.
The offscreen buffers will be constructed based on the user setting for
viewport multisampling (`U.ogl_multisamples`). The same setting will
also be used when previewing scene strips in the sequencer. For now
this only improves wireframe drawing in the scene strips. To improve the
Anti aliasing in the scene strips we need to get finer control in the
draw manager. This will be part of a different patch I am preparing.
Please note that this patch also cleansup some unused code in the offscreen rendering (FSAA code was still existing, but never called)

The goal is to prevent assignment of temporary or evaluated meshes
to objects from the main database.
Majority of the change is actually related on passing reports around.
On a positive side there are more error prints which can become more
visible to scripters.
There are still possible further improvements in the related areas.
For example, disable user counting for evaluated ID datablocks when
assignment happens. But can also happen later on as a separate
improvement.

We can not access ensured-to-be-evaluated dependency graph from the
render API: some of it is running from within evaluation which makes
it possible for engines to access list of evaluated IDs.
Solved by passing dependency graph to viewport functions, similar to
the final render functions.
- Add `render_aa` and `viewport_aa` sampling setting for workbench. 0
samples means no AA, 1 sample uses FXAA and more samples will use
TAA.
The viewport `gpu_viewport_quality` can still limit viewport anti-aliasing
method.
- Use TAA when rendering images. (this used to be CPU based FSAA)
- Removed `R_OSA` related settings.

Can not use evaluated datablock to localize since that could point to
another evaluated datablock, which can not become part of another
dependency graph.
The original code needed to have unkeyed changes preserved, but now
we do have a flush of animation to an active dependency graph, so this
code is not needed anymore.
- Merged SEQ_OFSDRAW with V3D_OFSDRAW and define in the
DNA_view3d_types: Due to this FSAA always kicked in making the
rendering slow.
- Removed `Texture Solid` and `DOF`.
- Now when chosing Solid rendering the settings
of the original scene is used.
- Added a global override to use scene specific shading. In the
Future we will need to enhanced this so user can change the
settings.
- Added support for LookDev. LookDev crashed as it needed the
`evil_C` what was not set
- LookDev mode will always show the scene + world lights.

This patch implements new cache system.
Aim is to give user more control over cache, so it can be maximally
utilized. This is done through sequencer timeline side panel
in category proxy & cache.
Cached images are also visualized in timeline, controled by
sequencer timeline view->cache menu
Functional changes:
- NOT use IMB_moviecache API
- refactor names of cached image types
- each scene owns 1 sequencer cache
- merge preprocess cache into per-sequencer cache
- cache links images rendered per frame in order as they are created
- add cache content visualization tool
- add RNA properties to control the cache

This adds a new "Automatic" image display method which uses GLSL shaders for
most images. It only does CPU side color management for higher res images
where sending big float buffers to the GPU is likely to be a bottleneck or
cause memory usage problem.
Automatic is the default now, previously it was 2D Texture.
* EEVEE support through irradiance volume and light probe.
* New shader ball shape (designed by Robin Marin).
* New cloth and liquid shapes, removed monkey.
* Replace world sphere by toggle to use world for any shape.
* Slight bevel on cube.
* More subdivision for displacement preview.
* Fixed and improved UV mapping for all shapes.
* Material icon / asset preview now uses specified shape instead of always
a sphere. So for example hair material can be displayed as hair.

No functional change, this adds LIB definition and args to cmake files.
Without this it's difficult to migrate away from 'BLENDER_SORTED_LIBS'
since there are many platforms/configurations that could break when
changing linking order.
Manually add and enable WITHOUT_SORTED_LIBS to try building
without sorted libs (currently fails since all variables are empty).
This check will eventually be removed.
See T46725.
Using GP_BRUSH_MATERIAL_PINNED to switch between active material and brush material, instead of updating all brushes on active material changes. This will allow brushes to have no material and therefore to not inflate the user count.
