Things like pointers to particle systems, or softbody data being stored
outside of its modifier, make it impossible for internal modifier copy
data code to be self-contained currently. It requires extra processing.
In existing code this was handled in several different places, in
several ways, and alltogether fairly inconsistently. Some cases were
even not properly handled, causing e.g. crashes as in T82945.
This commit addresses those issues by:
* Adding comments about the hackish/unsafe parts `psys` implies when
copying some modifier data (since we need to ensure particle system
copying and remapping of those pointers separately).
* Adding as-best-as-possible handling of those cases to
`BKE_object_copy_modifier` (note that it remains fragile, but is
expected to behave 'good enough' in any practical usecase).
* Remove special handling for specific editor code
(`copy_or_reuse_particle_system`). This should never have been
accepted in ED code area, and is now handled by
`BKE_object_copy_modifier`.
* Factorize copying of the whole modifier stack into new
`BKE_object_modifier_stack_copy`, now used by both `object_copy_data`
and `BKE_object_link_modifiers`.
Note that this implies that `BKE_object_copy_modifier` and
`BKE_object_copy_gpencil_modifier` are now to be used exclusively to
copy single modifiers. Full modifier stack copy should always use
`BKE_object_modifier_stack_copy` instead.

By design the modified object transformations should still work and
affect the geometry nodes results. The current behaviour, however, would
make the geometry from the object info to not be affected by the
modified object transformations. This patch changes that by default.
In a similar fashion the Location, Rotation and Scale sockets outputs
should be aware of whether the output should be in the global space or in the
space of the nodetree.
To solve this, the patch introduces a new transformation space "enum"
where users can pick "Original" or "Relative" space.
Original
--------
Output the geometry relative to the input object transform, and the
location, rotation and scale relative to the world origin.
Relative
--------
Bring the input object geometry, location, rotation and scale into the
modified object maintaining the relative position between the two objects in
the scene.
Relative space violates a bit the design of the nodetree. The geometry in this
case is transformed so that moving the modified object doesn't interfere with
the geometry. This is particularly useful for the boolean node for instance.
"Original" is the default space, but old files are set to "Relative" for
backwards compatibility.

There are two main things.
First, remove the marker index caching. Thins makes it possible to
safely use function from a threaded environment.
Second, replace linear search with binary search, which speeds up
random lookup.
There is no measurable difference in the stabilization which had a
comment about caching nature of track lookup. The random lookup
complexity changed from O(N) to O(log N). In practice this also
unlikely to be measurable, but thread-safety worth it.
When using grease pencil for drawing Storyboards, it's very common to require a transform of the layers. This transform can be done using the offset modifier, but in some cases, the scene requires a lot of modifiers and makes the file hard to work.
This new feature adds a transforms Location, Rotation and Scale at Layer level, and allows to transform the layer without using a modifier, keeping the scene more clean.

Those (aka root node trees and master collections) share same 'traits'
as the shapekeys: RNA cannot assign them, so we need to handle them as
sub-data of their owner IDs.
Not sure how much this will help in improving support of overrides for
scenes and nodetrees, but this is a mandatory step towards that goal for
sure.
This patch adds a noise offset option to the grease pencil noise modifier.
It allows the user to animate the noise along the length of the stroke to create movement that is currently not possible.
It works by adding an offset to the noise table and adding the remaining floating point value to the noise table sampling.

Instead of submitting tons of tiny IO syscalls, we can speed things up
significantly by `mmap`ing the .blend file into virtual memory and directly
accessing it.
In my local testing, this speeds up loading the Dweebs file with all its
linked files from 19sec to 10sec (on Linux).
As far as I can see, this should be supported on Linux, OSX and BSD.
For Windows, a second code path uses `CreateFileMapping` and
`MapViewOfFile` to achieve the same result.

While these operations are already possible with the "Attribute" nodes,
these new nodes fit nicely with the nodes specifically for changing the

Building IDs which are not covered by copy-on-write process was not
implemented, which was causing parameters block not present, and, hence
causing crashes in areas which expected parameters to present.
First part of this change is related on making it so Copy-on-Write is
optional for ID nodes in the dependency graph.
Second part is related on using a generic builder for all ID types
which were not covered by Copy-on-Write before.
The final part is related on making it so build_id() is properly
handling ParticleSettings and Grease Pencil Data. Before they were not
covered there at all, and they need special handling because they do
have own build functions.
Not sure it worth trying to split those parts, as they are related to
each other and are not really possible to be tested standalone. Open
for a second opinion though.
Possible nut-tightening is to re-organize build_id() function so
that every branch does return and have an assert at the end, so that
missing ID type in the switch statement is easier to spot even when
using compilers which do not report missing switch cases.
As for question "why not use default" the answer is: to make it more
explicit and clear what is a decision when adding new ID types. We do
not want to quietly fall-back to a non-copy-on-write case for a newly
added ID types.

The Asset Browser will be disabled and not available for the 2.92 release. In
alpha/beta builds, there will be an "Asset Browser" option under Preferences >
Experimental, if the developer extras are enabled.
Note that this also disables related UI elements (e.g. "Mark Asset" buttons,
Preferences settings for asset libraries, etc.).
The code is still in master of course, development and testing will continue
there. But there simply needs to be too much polishing and fixing before the

Having a centeral place to find a list of all library overrides should be
useful for managing production scenes where library overrides are used a lot.
This change adds the individually overridden properties of a data-block under
the data-block itself. Just how we show modifiers, constraints or pose channels
there. This way we can also expose library override operations/options better
in future.
There's also a filter option for the library overrides now, so they can be
hidden. It is only available in the View Layer display mode though, like the
other filter options.
One internal change this has to do is adding more informative return values to
undo pushes and the library override functions called by it. That way we can
send a notifier when library overrides change for the Outliner to know when to
rebuild the tree.

Ref T83668.
Mainly updated the Mantaflow version. It includes the new viscosity solver plugin based on the method from 'Accurate Viscous Free Surfaces for Buckling, Coiling, and Rotating Liquids' (Batty & Bridson).
In the UI, this update adds a new 'Viscosity' section to the fluid modifier UI (liquid domains only). For now, there is a single 'strength' value to control the viscosity of liquids.
This adds a popover to the properties editor. Currently the only setting
is for controlling outliner to properties syncing.
Because we cannot define a perfect heuristic to determine when
properties editors should change tabs based on outliner icon selection,
we need an option to enable or disable this behavior per properties
editor.
There are 3 options for controlling the syncing. Auto uses the heuristic
to only allow tab switching when a properties editor and outliner share
a border. On and off enable and disable syncing respectively.

This patch introduces a partial update of GPUTexture. When rendering
a large image the GPUTexture could have been scaled. The old implementation
would rescale the image on CPU and create a new GPUTexture. This
resulted in flooding the PCI bus.
The new solution would only scale and upload the parts of the GPUTexture
that has been changed. It does this by keeping track of areas of 256x256
pixels. When something changes the tiles that cover that changes will be
rescaled and uploaded the next time the GPUTexture is requested.

Since creating the attribute node, a helper function has been added to
automatically get the input attribute or a constant value, depending on
the "input type" values for the node. This commit replaces the specific
implementation of that behavior with the new helper function.
The versioning is necessary since the node now has a "storage" struct.
This patch adds two related nodes, a node for separating points
and mesh vertices based on a boolean attribute input, and a node
for creating boolean attributes with comparisons.
See the differential for an example file and video.
Point Separate (T83059)
The output in both geometries is just point data, contained in the mesh
and point cloud components, depending which components had data in the
input geometry. Any points with the mask attribute set to true will be
moved from the first geometry output to the second. This means that
for meshes, all edge and face data will be removed. Any point domain
attributes are moved to the correct output geometry as well.
Attribute Compare (T83057)
The attribute compare does the "Equal" and "Not Equal" operations by
comparing vectors and colors based on their distance from each other.
For other operations, the comparison is between the lengths of the
vector inputs. In general, the highest complexity data type is used
for the operation, and a new function to determine that is added.
