- Read-only access can often use EvaluationContext.object_mode
- Write access to go to WorkSpace.object_mode.
- Some TODO's remain (marked as "TODO/OBMODE")
- Add-ons will need updating
(context.active_object.mode -> context.workspace.object_mode)
- There will be small/medium issues that still need resolving
this does work on a basic level though.
See D3037
This allows a duplicator (as known as dupli parent) to be in a visible
collection so its duplicated objects are visible, however while being
invisible for the final render.
An object that is a particle emitter is also considered a duplicator.
Many thanks for the reviewers for the extense feedback.

Users can change the group collection visibility in the outliner
when looking at groups.
Regular collections on the other hand don't have any special visibility control,
if you need a collection to be invisible during render, either don't link it
into the view layer used for F12, or disable it.
This includes:
* Updated unittests - update your lib/tests/layers folder.
* Subversion bump - branches be aware of that.
Note:
Although we are using eval_ctx to determine the visibility of a group collection
when rendering, the depsgraph is still using the same depsgraph for the viewport
and the render engine, so at the moment the render visibility is ignored.
Following next is a workaround for this separately to tag the groups before and
after rendering to tackle that.
You can now override loc/rot/scale of objects and posebones.
Also added a basic operator to make an override of active linked object,
but this is very limited/wip/testing feature (you have to manually override
object and its armature, and relink to proper local overrides
yourself...). Final 'make proxy killer' will be much more automated of
course.
object.is_from_set
object.is_from_duplicator
We need them for the unittests, and users can benefit from it as well.
Note, this only makes sense when reading objects from depsgraph:
`bpy.context.depsgraph.objects`
While getting rid of Scene->base we got the following fixes:
* Fix "Convert To" operator
* Fix "NLA allowing to selected objects that are not selectable
* Fix scene.objects (readonly, no option to link/unlink)
Note: Collada needs to use the context SceneLayer for adding objects
however I added a placeholder, so Collada maintainers can fix this
properly.
This makes code closer to id_override/assent-engine ones, which
introduce a new type of linked data, and hence reserve
ID_IS_LINKED_DATABLOCK to real linked datablocks.
Iterate over invisible objects too, so lamps can still lit the scene.
Also, now you can use a collection to set an object to invisible, not
only to visible.
For example:
Scene > Master collection > bedroom > furniture
Scene > View Layer > bedroom (visible)
> furniture (invisible)
The View Layer has two linked collections, bedroom and furniture.
This setup will make the furniture collection invisible.
Note: Unlike what was suggested on D2849, this does not make collection
visibility influence camera visibility. I will keep this as a separate
patch.

Those functions did not use evaluation context.
Also fixed lots of unused variables warnings caused by commented out code which
needs to be ported away from DerivedMesh and to evaluation context.
Note that some little parts of code have been dissabled because eval_ctx
was not available there. This should be resolved once DerivedMesh is
replaced.
Add face maps, needed for face-map widgets,
only data structure, widgets will be separate commit.
This comes from 'custom-manipulator' branch with only minor changes.
The Issue
=======
For a long time now MinGW has been unsupported and unmaintained and at this point,
it looks like something that we should just leave behind and move on.
Why Remove
==========
One of the big motivations for MinGW back in the day is that it was free compared to MSVC which was licensed based.
However, now that this is no longer true we have basically stopped updating the need CMake files.
Along with the CMake files, there are several patches to the extern libs needed to make this work. For example, see:
https://developer.blender.org/diffusion/B/browse/master/extern/carve/patches/mingw_w64.patch
If we wanted to keep MinGW then we would need to make more custom patches to the external libs and
this is not something our platform maintainers are willing to do.
For example, here is the patches needed to build python: https://github.com/Alexpux/MINGW-packages/tree/master/mingw-w64-python3

Object Info node can be useful to give some variation to a single material assigned to multiple instances. This patch adds support for Viewport and BI.

User Commit Log
---------------
* New Layer and Collection system to replace render layers and viewport layers.
* A layer is a set of collections of objects (and their drawing options) required for specific tasks.
* A collection is a set of objects, equivalent of the old layers in Blender. A collection can be shared across multiple layers.
* All Scenes have a master collection that all other collections are children of.
* New collection "context" tab (in Properties Editor)
* New temporary viewport "collections" panel to control per-collection
visibility
Missing User Features
---------------------
* Collection "Filter"
Option to add objects based on their names
* Collection Manager operators
The existing buttons are placeholders
* Collection Manager drawing
The editor main region is empty
* Collection Override
* Per-Collection engine settings
This will come as a separate commit, as part of the clay-engine branch
Dev Commit Log
--------------
* New DNA file (DNA_layer_types.h) with the new structs
We are replacing Base by a new extended Base while keeping it backward
compatible with some legacy settings (i.e., lay, flag_legacy).
Renamed all Base to BaseLegacy to make it clear the areas of code that
still need to be converted
Note: manual changes were required on - deg_builder_nodes.h, rna_object.c, KX_Light.cpp
* Unittesting for main syncronization requirements
- read, write, add/copy/remove objects, copy scene, collection
link/unlinking, context)
* New Editor: Collection Manager
Based on patch by Julian Eisel
This is extracted from the layer-manager branch. With the following changes:
- Renamed references of layer manager to collections manager
- I doesn't include the editors/space_collections/ draw and util files
- The drawing code itself will be implemented separately by Julian
* Base / Object:
A little note about them. Original Blender code would try to keep them
in sync through the code, juggling flags back and forth. This will now
be handled by Depsgraph, keeping Object and Bases more separated
throughout the non-rendering code.
Scene.base is being cleared in doversion, and the old viewport drawing
code was poorly converted to use the new bases while the new viewport
code doesn't get merged and replace the old one.

This reverts commit 5aa19be912 and b4a721af69.
Due to postponement of particle system rewrite it was decided to put particle code
back into the 2.8 branch for the time being.
This gives us 9 flags available again for properties (we had none anymore),
and also makes things slightly cleaner.
To simplify (and make more clear the differences between mere properties
and function parameters), also added RNA_def_parameter_flags function (and
its clear counterpart), to be used instead of RNA_def_property_flag for
function parameters.
This patch is also a big cleanup (some RNA function definitions were
still using 'prop' PropertyRNA pointer, etc.).
And yes, am aware this will be annoying for all branches, but we really need
to get new flags available for properties (will need at least one for override, etc.).

This commit allows RNA properties to return additional info on their editable state which may then be displayed in tooltips. To show how it works, it also adds some info for the editable check of proxies. For generally un-editable properties or properties of a linked data-block, RNA returns default strings.
