Now there are two experimental feature options:
* "New Curves Type": Enables the new data type and a couple of tools
that are meant to be in the first release that comes with the new curves object.
* "New Curves Tools": This is only available when the new curve type is available
as well. It mainly exists to keep some tools experimental even after the initial
curves object is release officially.
* For now this only includes the curves edit mode which is not usable yet and
probably won't be for the initial release.

Unlike regular selection cycling that is activated when clicking again
in the same location, object mode would cycle to another object
if the object that was selected happened to already be active.
This made it impossible to click-drag to tweak the active object
if there were other objects behind it as those would be activated first.

color attribute system.
This commit removes sculpt colors from experimental
status and unifies it with vertex colors. It
introduces the concept of "color attributes", which
are any attributes that represents colors. Color
attributes can be represented with byte or floating-point
numbers and can be stored in either vertices or
face corners.
Color attributes share a common namespace
(so you can no longer have a floating-point
sculpt color attribute and a byte vertex color
attribute with the same name).
Note: this commit does not include vertex paint mode,
which is a separate patch, see:

This only adds a experimental flag to enable the 3d texturing brush,
so future developments could check. Currently the flag does nothing
as no functionality of the 3d texturing brush has been implemented.
Object mode selection does a kind of cycling that excludes the active
selected object. This is separate from regular selection cycling which
is enabled when clicking multiple times without moving the cursor.
This has the down-side that clicking on an object to drag it always
selects the object behind it (in the case of overlapping objects).
Since object mode selection is fundamental functionality, this is
exposed as an experimental preference for user feedback & testing.

Based on discussions from T95355 and T94193, the plan is to use
the name "Curves" to describe the data-block container for multiple
curves. Eventually this will replace the existing "Curve" data-block.
However, it will be a while before the curve data-block can be replaced
so in order to distinguish the two curve types in the UI, "Hair Curves"
will be used, but eventually changed back to "Curves".
This patch renames "hair-related" files, functions, types, and variable
names to this convention. A deep rename is preferred to keep code
consistent and to avoid any "hair" terminology from leaking, since the
new data-block is meant for all curve types, not just hair use cases.
The downside of this naming is that the difference between "Curve"
and "Curves" has become important. That was considered during
design discussons and deemed acceptable, especially given the
non-permanent nature of the somewhat common conflict.
Some points of interest:
- All DNA compatibility is lost, just like rBf59767ff9729.
- I renamed `ID_HA` to `ID_CV` so there is no complete mismatch.
- `hair_curves` is used where necessary to distinguish from the
existing "curves" plural.
- I didn't rename any of the cycles/rendering code function names,
since that is also used by the old hair particle system.

Now all proxies will always be converted to library overrides. If

Part of T91671.
Adds an "Asset Indexing" option (enabled by default) to Preferences >
Experimental > Debugging. This is useful when working on the asset
library loading.
This evaluator is used in order to evaluate subdivision at render time, allowing for
faster renders of meshes with a subdivision surface modifier placed at the last
position in the modifier list.
When evaluating the subsurf modifier, we detect whether we can delegate evaluation
to the draw code. If so, the subdivision is first evaluated on the GPU using our own
custom evaluator (only the coarse data needs to be initially sent to the GPU), then,
buffers for the final `MeshBufferCache` are filled on the GPU using a set of
compute shaders. However, some buffers are still filled on the CPU side, if doing so
on the GPU is impractical (e.g. the line adjacency buffer used for x-ray, whose
logic is hardly GPU compatible).
This is done at the mesh buffer extraction level so that the result can be readily used
in the various OpenGL engines, without having to write custom geometry or tesselation
shaders.
We use our own subdivision evaluation shaders, instead of OpenSubDiv's vanilla one, in
order to control the data layout, and interpolation. For example, we store vertex colors
as compressed 16-bit integers, while OpenSubDiv's default evaluator only work for float
types.
In order to still access the modified geometry on the CPU side, for use in modifiers
or transform operators, a dedicated wrapper type is added `MESH_WRAPPER_TYPE_SUBD`.
Subdivision will be lazily evaluated via `BKE_object_get_evaluated_mesh` which will
create such a wrapper if possible. If the final subdivision surface is not needed on
the CPU side, `BKE_object_get_evaluated_mesh_no_subsurf` should be used.
Enabling or disabling GPU subdivision can be done through the user preferences (under
Viewport -> Subdivision).

Intention of the icon is to mark add-ons that are official/bundled.
Doesn't make much sense to use the .blend file icon for that. It's
arguable if the Blender logo should be used for this, but the file icon
is definitely the wrong choice.
This feature has been desired for some time:
- https://rightclickselect.com/p/ui/Tqbbbc/allow-navigating-while-transforming (See comments);
- D1583;
- T37427;
In short, blocking navigation during transform limits the user to move the object only to visible areas within the screen and hinders the allocation of objects within closed meshes.
The node editor is also impaired because some nodes are far between them and the connectors are too small.
The only disadvantage of this patch (as I see it) is the conflict with the existing key map:
MIDDLEMOUSE:
- enable axis constrain in 3D view;
WHEELDOWNMOUSE, WHEELUPMOUSE, PAGEUPKEY, PAGEDOWNKEY:
- change the threshold of the proportional edit;
So the patch solution was to change these keymaps:
- MIDDLEMOUSE to Alt+MIDDLEMOUSE;
- WHEELDOWNMOUSE, WHEELUPMOUSE, PAGEUPKEY, PAGEDOWNKEY to Alt+(corresponding key);
When you use this new keymap for the first time in the proportional edit, it may seem strange due to the custom of using it (both in View2D and View3D).
But quickly the user gets used to it.
Alternatively we can add an option to the user preferences ([] Allow navigating while transforming). (I'm not much fan of this option).
The patch was done on branch2.8. But maybe it's a good idea to apply it to 2.79

Add a new "experimental" debug option `show_asset_debug_info`, and use
that to determine the visibility of the active asset's catalog UUID and

Back in Blender 2.30, the GUI project brought panels into Blender among other important visual updates.
For the first time it was possible to move the wall of buttons around. Providing a clear separation
between sections (it even allowed the grouping of panels in tabs!)
During the 2.5 redesign, the separation between panels became a line on top of each panel, and panels received
theme settings for background and header colors. The default theme used the same color for both.
In 2.8 the background color of panels was different from headers in the default theme, so the separator
line was removed. While the separator line wasn't elegant (only on top, non-themeable, hard-coded emboss effect),
it provided a sort of separation between panels.
This patch solves the panels-separation by simply adding a margin space around them (not visible in default theme yet).
Even though the margin reduces the width of the working area slightly, it makes room for the upcoming always-visible scrollbars.
Other adjustments:
* Use arrow icon instead of triangle to collapse/expand
* Use rounded corners to match the rest of the UI (editor corners, nodes, etc).

Margin on panels makes use of the `style->panelouter` property that hasn't been
used in a while. Also slight tweaks to `boxspace` and `templatespace` style properties so they
are multiples of 2 and operations on them round better.
There is technically no need to update the themes for them to work, so no theme changes are included in this patch.

This breaks API compatibility. However we are now grouping this setting

* building and evaluating fields at run-time (`FN_fields.hh`) and
* creating and accessing anonymous attributes on geometry
(`BKE_anonymous_attribute.h`).
For evaluating fields we use a new so called multi-function procedure
(`FN_multi_function_procedure.hh`). It allows composing multi-functions
in arbitrary ways and supports efficient evaluation as is required by
fields. See `FN_multi_function_procedure.hh` for more details on how
this evaluation mechanism can be used.
A new `AttributeIDRef` has been added which allows handling named
and anonymous attributes in the same way in many places.
