The Cycles accurate mode was removed, but the Eevee option for this has
a different meaning and should not have been removed. The Eevee accurate
makes cryptomatte accumulate for every sample, which Cycles has always
done regardless of any option.
When node input sockets are animated, they target the socket by index.
As a result, animation data needs to be updated whenever new sockets are
added (except when they're added at the end of the list). The code for
this is now extracted into its own versioning function, so that it can
be used for other versioning steps as well.
No functional changes.
In future use cases, a volume can contain many grids that represent the
density information. In this case, it's better if the volume to mesh node
creates a mesh based on all of the grids in the volume.
This is also a benefit to share-ability, since one doesn't have to
specify the grid name in the node. Instead, in the future we can have
a way to split particular grids into separate volumes, if only one
grid should be considered.
The code changes are relatively simple:
- Move the old volume to mesh node to the legacy folder.
- Run the volume to mesh node on all instance geometry, like elsewhere.
- Make the blenkernel's volume to mesh API a bit more specific.

This node replaces the deprecated Attribute Randomize node, populating
a vector, float, integer or boolean field with random values. Vector,
float, and integer have min/max settings, which are also field aware.
The boolean type has a probability value for controlling what portion
of the output should be true. All four types have a field seed input
which is implicitly driven by the index, otherwise, all values would
be the same "random" value.
The Random Float node is now deprecated like other nodes, since it is
redundant with this node.

Recently we have decided to avoid fancier versioning for nodes with
string inputs for attribute names when updating the attribute workflow
for 3.0. In that case we would just duplicate any node that will
have an updated version to work with fields.
We want to be able to use the "proper" ID names for the new versions
of the nodes though, so this patch adds "Legacy" to the IDs of all
nodes that will be replaced in 3.0. This commit also removes the nodes
from the add menu when the fields experimental preference is enabled,
in order to make it clear what has been updated and what hasn't.
Nodes in the "Maybe" categories in versioning_300.c can be renamed
later if necessary. For now it's probably better to be conservative,
and to keep the list complete.

Previously fluid simulation and Alembic modifiers had a dedicated function
to query the velocity for motion blur. Now use a more generic system where
those modifiers output a velocity attribute.
Advantages:
* Geometry and particle nodes can output velocity through the same mechanism,
or read the attribute coming from earlier modifiers.
* The velocity can be preserved through modifiers like subdivision surface or
auto smooth.
* USD and Alembic previously only output velocity from fluid simulation, now
they work with velocity from other sources too.
* Simplifies the code for renderers like Cycles and exporters like
Alembic and USD.
This breaks compatibility:
* External renderers and exporters accessing these velocities through the
Python API now need to use the attribute instead.
* Existing modifier node setups that create an attribute named "velocity"
will render differently with motion blur.

Versioning code for converting strip offset property doesn't work, when
property was animated and disabled or when crop was used.
When offset property is animated and offset is enabled, animation is
converted to be used with new transform design. When offset is disabled,
animation is left untouched. New transform design doesn't have option
to disable offset, and therefore old unconverted animation is used
instead of converted static value.
Remove animation from propery if it was unused.
Another issue was that both X and Y offset animation was being corrected
by factor caluclated for X channel.

Text data block were not considered special in the recursive purge

To fix this we instead make text data block use "fake user" so that
addon authors can specify script files that should be removed if nothing

Per default, new text object have "fake user" set. So functionality

The `bisect_distance` in the mirror modifier was hard-coded to `0.001`.
This would result in some unexpected behavior like vertices close

The fix now adds a parameter to the mirror modifier to expose the
bisect distance to the user. The default is set to the previous
hard-coded value to not "change" previous files.

Caused by {rB571362642201} where versioning code for new sequencer tool
settings was only done for scenes already having sequencer scene->ed.
If scene->ed was not present, sequencer tool settings were never
initalized for this scene [if the VSE was then used later], leading to
crashes in some places.
Now just use the versioning code to initalize sequencer tool settings
for all scenes not having them yet.

This introduces a context path to the spreadsheet editor, which contains
information about what data is shown in the spreadsheet. The context
path (breadcrumbs) can reference a specific node in a node group
hierarchy. During object evaluation, the geometry nodes modifier checks
what data is currently requested by visible spreadsheets and stores
the corresponding geometry sets separately for later access.
The context path can be updated by the user explicitely, by clicking
on the new icon in the header of nodes. Under some circumstances,
the context path is updated automatically based on Blender's context.
This patch also consolidates the "Node" and "Final" object evaluation
mode to just "Evaluated". Based on the current context path, either
the final geometry set of an object will be displayed, or the data at
a specific node.
The new preview icon in geometry nodes now behaves more like
a toggle. It can be clicked again to clear the context path in an
open spreadsheet editor.
Previously, only an object could be pinned in the spreadsheet editor.
Now it is possible to pin the entire context path. That allows two
different spreadsheets to display geometry data from two different
nodes.
The breadcrumbs in the spreadsheet header can be collapsed by
clicking on the arrow icons. It's not ideal but works well for now.
This might be changed again, if we get a data set region on the left.

This code is incompatible with .blend files from subversion 16 and 17.
The ideal would be to create a new subversion when landed rBf674976edd88.
But for now, due to the delay, moving the code to the previous subversion
can solve it.
Since you can already specify a separate size for X and Y with the
grid node, it makes sense to be able to specify the size separately
for each axis also.
This also avoids some awkward math with a Transform node afterwards
when you want a specific size for each direction.
Versioning (except for animation and drivers) is handled in this commit.

As the CU_2D flag is set for nurbs, a Curve can have 2D nurbs mixed with 3D.
But the UI does not allow this mixing. It updates all nurbs to 2D or 3D when set.
So remove this specific flag for nurbs.
This may break old files, since 2D curves with mixed 3D are now set as 3D.

Previously, `node_name` was rarely actually a name of a node. It is set
correctly as node name in `ED_node_tree_push`. However, later on it
was overwritten by the name of an id data block in `node_draw_space`.
Now, the node_name stays the name of the "parent" node. Whereas
display_name is the name that will be displayed in the breadcrumbs.
With this change, the `node_name` can be used to reconstruct the
actual path from the root node tree to the currently visible tree.

This simulates the effect of a honeycomb or grid placed in front of a softbox.
In practice, it works by attenuating rays coming off-angle as a function of the
provided spread angle parameter.
Setting the parameter to 180 degrees poses no restrictions to the rays, making
the light behave the same way as before this patch.
The total light power is normalized based on the spread angle, so that the
light strength remains the same.

For other "Attribute Name" fields we usually give a more specific name
that relates to what the attribute is actually used for, like "Mask" in
the point separate node. This is a similar situation, and would also
be consistent with the naming planned in D10506.
Display the bone axes at the head (root) of the bone by default, instead
of the tail (tip), and add a slider so that it's possible to adjust this

default (axes shown at head).

Although "Grid" may not be techincally correct since a grid could be 3D,

This commit includes a file subversion bump for the versioning.
This adds 2 new sliders for light objects that modulates the diffuse
light and the volume light intensities.
This also changes the way volume light is computed using point lamp
representation. We use "Point Light Attenuation Without Singularity"
from Cem Yuksel instead of the usual inverse square law.
Following concerns raised in the commit that changed the name initially,
rB2e19509e60b39837, it makes more sense to keep the "Surface" name for
this node because it has a specific meaning that should not be confused
with other types of subdivision.
- Remove Full Render size from VSE preview size. Use just 100% instead.
- Add Use Proxies checkbox to control whether proxies are used globally
- Move preview size to top so it is most prominent

In the current implementation, cryptomatte passes are connected to the node
and elements are picked by using the eyedropper tool on a special pick channel.
This design has two disadvantages - both connecting all passes individually
and always having to switch to the picker channel are tedious.
With the new design, the user selects the RenderLayer or Image from which the
Cryptomatte layers are directly loaded (the type of pass is determined by an
enum). This allows the node to automatically detect all relevant passes.
Then, when using the eyedropper tool, the operator looks up the selected
coordinates from the picked Image, Node backdrop or Clip and reads the picked
object directly from the Renderlayer/Image, therefore allowing to pick in any
context (e.g. by clicking on the Combined pass in the Image Viewer). The
sampled color is looked up in the metadata and the actual name is stored
in the cryptomatte node. This also allows to remove a hash by just removing
the name from the matte id.
Technically there is some loss of flexibility because the Cryptomatte pass
inputs can no longer be connected to other nodes, but since any compositing
done on them is likely to break the Cryptomatte system anyways, this isn't
really a concern in practise.
In the future, this would also allow to automatically translate values to names
by looking up the value in the associated metadata of the input, or to get a
better visualization of overlapping areas in the Pick output since we could
blend colors now that the output doesn't have to contain the exact value.

This makes the following changes to the name of the two
geometry nodes subvision nodes:
- `Subdivision Surface` -> `Subdivide Smooth`
- `Subdivision Surface Simple` -> `Subdivide`
Most of the benefit is that the names are shorter, but it also better
mirrors the naming of operations in edit mode, and phrases the names
more like actions. This was discussed with the geometry nodes team.
But this time the root cause. Writing undo files is done in a separate
thread. This patch moved the updating of the matte_id when the user
actually changes the matte.
Move low level logic to module code and versioning logic to versioning code.
Metas strip position was handled in diffrent way compared to other strips.

I made an incorrect comment in patch review that "Location"
should be used instead of position. "Position" is more appropriate
here since it refers to generic data rather than an object origin.
"Position" is also the name we chose for the attribute for this reason.
This patch adds an output field to the Attribute Proximity node and
renames the existing string socket from "Result" to "Distance".
- The "Distance" output contains distance to the closest position
on the Target geometry.
- The new "Location" output contains the coordinates of the closest
position on the Target geometry.
A basic use case for this data is a simple shrinkwrap operation.

This patch adds manifest parsing to Cryptomatte. Normally when loading
cryptomatte layer from an OpenEXR file the manifest contains data to
convert a hash to its original name of the object/material. In the
future we want to use this to support lookup of cryptomatte
hashes and show it to the user.
Currently this logic isn't available to users (for now), but is required
by D3959 where a new cryptomatte workflow is implemented.
Following with the changes included to interpolate strokes of different number of points, a full review has been done in the interpolation tools.
* Interpolate now is a tool and not an operator. It was not logic to have this tool as a button.
* Interpolate tool parameters have been moved to topbar.
* Interpolate popover has been removed from topbar and interpolate `Sequence` operator has been moved to grease pencil menu.
* Interpolate Sequence now include a Redo panel.
* Interpolate tool now allows to select the strokes by pairs. This allows to interpolate any stroke with any stroke and not as before that it was only possible by drawing order. If no stroke is selected, the interpolation is done as before.
* Now is possible interpolate again if a previous keyframe exist. Before, it was impossible to interpolate two times in same frame and this made impossible to do the interpolation by groups of frames.
* New automatic option to `Flip strokes` if the stroke and end are not in the right position. Also the flip can be set manually for corner cases.
* Cleanup of menus related to interpolate.
* Fixed some bugs and removed parameters from scene because now all are tool or operator contained.
* Some code cleanup and function renames.
This commit also includes the some codebase to future implementation of the concept `Vertex Active` that now does not exist in grease pencil.
This patch implements the list panel system D7490 for FCurve modifiers.
The UI layouts are updated to make use of subpanels and to be consistent
with the rest of the interface, and easier to understand.
See the differential revision for screenshots.
This commit also significantly cleans up the FModifier UI code, and
improves, mainly by replacing the old button creation code is with
the newer interface API using RNA. In turn there is a bit of complexity
added because each FModifier has a separate panel.
Although reordering of FModifiers was not implemented before, we get
drag and drop basically for free here, so it is also included.
As noted in some older to do tasks, FModifiers aren't evaluated
in perfect order, which may be a point of improvement for the future.
