Listing the "Blender Foundation" as copyright holder implied the Blender
Foundation holds copyright to files which may include work from many
developers.
While keeping copyright on headers makes sense for isolated libraries,
Blender's own code may be refactored or moved between files in a way
that makes the per file copyright holders less meaningful.
Copyright references to the "Blender Foundation" have been replaced with
"Blender Authors", with the exception of `./extern/` since these this
contains libraries which are more isolated, any changed to license
headers there can be handled on a case-by-case basis.
Some directories in `./intern/` have also been excluded:
- `./intern/cycles/` it's own `AUTHORS` file is planned.
- `./intern/opensubdiv/`.
An "AUTHORS" file has been added, using the chromium projects authors
file as a template.
Design task: #110784
Ref !110783.
Hydra is a rendering architecture part of USD, designed to abstract the
host application from the renderer. A renderer implementing a Hydra
render delegate can run in any host application supporting Hydra, which
now includes Blender.
For external renderers this means less code to be written, and improved
performance due to a using a C++ API instead of a Python API.
Add-ons need to subclass bpy.types.HydraRenderEngine. See the example in
the Python API docs for details.
An add-on for Hydra Storm will be included as well. This is USD's
rasterizing renderer, used in other applications like usdview. For users
it can provide a preview of USD file export, and for developers it
serves a reference.
There are still limitations and missing features, especially around
materials. The remaining to do items are tracked in #110765.
This feature was contributed by AMD.

Support string size debug so it can be used for regular development.
It works be writing values into strings, ensuring the buffer size
given is actually available. Developers can use this with memory
checking tools such as ASAN/valgrind to force an error when
the value used for the size of a buffer is larger than the buffer.
Resolve remaining issue with RNA using BLI_strncpy* in generated
callback functions where the size argument didn't represent the
size of the destination buffer.
This is automatically enabled along with ASAN for the
blender_developer.cmake configuration.

This checkin will use OIIO to replace the image save/load code for BMP,
DDS, DPX, HDR, PNG, TGA, and TIFF.
This simplifies our build environment, reduces binary duplication,
removes large amounts of hard to maintain code, and fixes some bugs
along the way.
It should also help reduce rare differences between Blender and Cycles
which already uses OIIO for most situations. Or potentially makes them
easier to solve once discovered.

New (experimental) Stanford PLY importer and exporter written in C++.
Handles: vertices, faces, edges, vertex colors, normals, UVs. Both
binary and ASCII formats are supported.
Usually 10-20x faster than the existing Python based PLY
importer/exporter.
Additional notes compared to the previous Python addon:
- Importing point clouds with vertex colors now works
- Importing PLY files with non standard line endings
- Exporting multiple objects (previous exporter didn't take the vertex
indices into account)
- The importer has the option to merge vertices
- The exporter supports exporting loose edges and vertices along with
UV map data

ASAN is more often broken than working depending on the MSVC version
you have. As it is causing too many support incidents of people that
unknowingly turned ASAN on by running `make developer` and running
into issues starting blender due to the broken ASAN support in MSVC.
This commit changes the default not enable it for MSVC in the
developer profile. Devs that still want to enable it can do so though
turning WITH_COMPILER_ASAN on in their CMakeCache.txt or by running
`make developer asan`
It has not actually been enabled there for a long time in official releases,
so this just fixes the warning. Making it work again would be good, but for
now JACK is only supported on Linux.
This adds path guiding features into Cycles by integrating Intel's Open Path
Guiding Library. It can be enabled in the Sampling > Path Guiding panel in the
render properties.
This feature helps reduce noise in scenes where finding a path to light is
difficult for regular path tracing.
The current implementation supports guiding directional sampling decisions on
surfaces, when the material contains a least one diffuse component, and in
volumes with isotropic and anisotropic Henyey-Greenstein phase functions.
On surfaces, the guided sampling decision is proportional to the product of
the incident radiance and the normal-oriented cosine lobe and in volumes it
is proportional to the product of the incident radiance and the phase function.
The incident radiance field of a scene is learned and updated during rendering
after each per-frame rendering iteration/progression.
At the moment, path guiding is only supported by the CPU backend. Support for
GPU backends will be added in future versions of OpenPGL.

Since this was added, Linux libraries have been included in `../lib/`.
This made `make bpy` on Linux install the `bpy` module into the bundled
SVN libraries which isn't very useful.
Now leave WITH_INSTALL_PORTABLE unset (defaulting to ON).
Python developers may reference their systems Python and disable the
option if they wish for a system-wide module installation.
As portable is already the default, setting it meant using the lite
configuration would always reset the value if was intentionally changed.
This was also inconsistent as other configurations left this unset.
This was a kind of "lite" target, disabling options such as FFMPEG and
ALEMBIC which may be useful to read/write data from the Python module.
Now fewer options have been changed.
The following options are now disabled:
- Audio support (to prevent audio devices being initialized on startup).
- Input device support such as NDOF and IME as there is no GUI.
- Blender thumbnail extraction as it's not installed as part of
the Python module.
Instead of attempting to predict what is useful to enable when building
as a Python module, developers can mix combine options e.g.
"make bpy release" or "make bpy lite".
Fix typo in blender_release.cmake, and ensure that "make release" still works
when ocloc is not available. While a fatal error is useful for debugging, the
current convention is to disable features, especially in cases like this where
there is no simple way to make the feature work.

Currently, the compositor can be disabled using the WITH_COMPOSITOR
build option. Since, we intent to always build the realtime compositor,
we need to make the distinction between both compositors clear.
So this patch renames the option to WITH_COMPOSITOR_CPU. Additionally,
the check for the option was moved inside the compositor modules' own
CMake file in preparation for the realtime compositor code.

CYCLES_ONEAPI_ALL_DEVICES environment variable.
This patch adds a new Cycles device with similar functionality to the
existing GPU devices. Kernel compilation and runtime interaction happen
via oneAPI DPC++ compiler and SYCL API.
This implementation is primarly focusing on Intel® Arc™ GPUs and other
future Intel GPUs. The first supported drivers are 101.1660 on Windows
and 22.10.22597 on Linux.
The necessary tools for compilation are:
- A SYCL compiler such as oneAPI DPC++ compiler or
https://github.com/intel/llvm
- Intel® oneAPI Level Zero which is used for low level device queries:
https://github.com/oneapi-src/level-zero
- To optionally generate prebuilt graphics binaries: Intel® Graphics
Compiler All are included in Linux precompiled libraries on svn:
https://svn.blender.org/svnroot/bf-blender/trunk/lib The same goes for
Windows precompiled binaries but for the graphics compiler, available
as "Intel® Graphics Offline Compiler for OpenCL™ Code" from
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/articles/tool/oneapi-standalone-components.html,
for which path can be set as OCLOC_INSTALL_DIR.
Being based on the open SYCL standard, this implementation could also be
extended to run on other compatible non-Intel hardware in the future.

- WITH_IO_WAVEFRONT_OBJ
- WITH_IO_GPENCIL (for grease pencil SVG importing).
Note that it was already possible to disable grease pencil export

Make building the thumbnail extraction executable optional,
disable on macOS as this was not linking, further, macOS doesn't use
this for thumbnail extraction so it could be left disabled.
WITH_CYCLES_DEBUG was used for rendering BVH debugging passes. But since we
mainly use Embree an OptiX now, this information is no longer important.
WITH_CYCLES_DEBUG_NAN will enable additional checks for NaNs and invalid values
in the kernel, for Cycles developers. Previously these asserts where enabled in
all debug builds, but this is too likely to crash Blender in scenes that render
fine regardless of the NaNs. So this is behind a CMake option now.

Technical notes:
* The conversion candidate window is drawn by the input method program calling
`firstRectForCharacterRange`.
* The string before confirmation (called `composite` in blender) is handled in
the `setMarkedText` method called by the input method program.
* The string after confirmation (called `result` in the blender) is processed
in the `insertText` method called by the input method program.
