The recent change to header copyrights [0] unintentionally changed
"Blender Foundation" to "Blender Authors" for the WIN32 file path
which blender is installed into.
Revert lines changed that aren't related to copyright text.
[0]: e955c94ed3
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.
You can install several versions of blender side by side and all
of them will try to create a "Blender" shortcut, which if already
exists the msi installer throws a warning about.
This change adds the blender version number to the desktop and start
menu shortcuts, side steps the problem and it's easier to tell the
various blender versions apart.
This is already the case for most CMake usage.
Although some find modules are an exception to this, as they were
originally maintained externally they use some different conventions.
Also corrected bad indentation in: intern/cycles/CMakeLists.txt
This patch fixes a long-standing complaint from users:
the console window shortly flashing when they start
blender.
This is done by adding a new executable called
blender-launcher.exe which starts blender.exe while
hiding the console.
Any command line parameters given to blender-launcher
will be passed on to blender.exe so it'll be a drop
in replacement.
Starting blender.exe on its own will still function as
a proper console app so no changes required here for
users that use blender for batch processing.
Notable changes:
Registering blender (-R switch) will now register
blender-launcher as the preferred executable.
This patch updates the installer and updates the
shortcuts to start blender-launcher.exe rather
than blender.exe

The file subversion is no longer used in the Python API or user interface,
and is now internal to Blender.
User interface, Python API and file I/O metadata now use more consistent
formatting for version numbers. Official releases use "2.83.0", "2.83.1",
and releases under development use "2.90.0 Alpha", "2.90.0 Beta".
Some Python add-ons may need to lower the Blender version in bl_info to
(2, 83, 0) or (2, 90, 0) if they used a subversion number higher than 0.

This change is in preparation of LTS releases, and also brings us more
in line with semantic versioning.
Fixes T76058.

xz compresses 25% better than bz2, reducing download times and server load.
The numbers:
blender-2.80-linux-glibc217-x86_64.tar.bz2 (release): 134 886 174 bytes
with xz: 96 181 604 bytes (-28.7%)
with xz -9: 93 871 548 bytes (-30.4%)
blender-2.81-7c1fbe24ca33-linux-glibc217-x86_64.tar.bz2 (beta): 173 600 363 bytes
with xz: 133 100 664 bytes (-23.3%)
with xz -9: 129 534 124 bytes (-25.4%)
xz also decompresses more than twice as fast as bz2, however compression needs
four times as long (on my 7-year-old laptop 3-4 minutes instead of <1).
Also xz has become more common than bz2, e.g. Debian/Ubuntu deb packages have
been xz-compressed for years, so the dpkg package manager as well as systemd
and grub all depend on liblzma being present, whereas bz2 is becoming more and
more optional.
Current Linux archives also include the UID/GID of whatever user account
happens to be used for building by the blender.org infrastructure. If someone
then installs these archives as root e.g. to /usr/local/... and doesn't pay
full attention the files remain owned by a regular user, which is a serious
security issue. This patch fixes that by setting the UID/GID to 0.

The installer always upgraded the last version installed and did not allow for two versions to be installed side by side.
The reworked installer will allow side by side installs
install order:
```
2.81 -> 2.81a -> 2.82 : Allowed , will result in both 2.82 and 2.81a being installed
2.82 -> 2.81 -> 2.81a : Allowed , will result in both 2.82 and 2.81a being installed
2.82 -> 2.81a : Allowed , will result in both 2.82 and 2.81a being installed
2.82 -> 2.81a -> 2.81 : Not Allowed, 2.81 will only install if you manually remove 2.81a first.
```
Do note though that this will not apply to any previously issued installers and even for 2.80a this is not something we can fix.
This patch is for landing in 2.81 *only* and should be excluded from any possible 2.80a release.
Second change is a change to the compression level, building the MSI takes 30 minutes, which is crazy, perhaps worth it if the compression actually pays of.
```
MSI - none 1:35 247.0 MB (260,025,634 bytes)
MSI - mszip 2:02 89.6 MB ( 94,022,946 bytes)
MSI - low 2:35 81.6 MB ( 85,646,626 bytes)
MSI - medium 4:11 77.3 MB ( 81,136,930 bytes)
MSI - high 28:01 74.7 MB ( 78,384,418 bytes)
zip 1:32 93.2 MB ( 97,732,293 bytes)
7Z 2:22 65.0 MB ( 68,171,614 bytes)
```
It didn't, so I lowered it to medium, seemed reasonable.

The original issue was that different platforms will use different
hash lengths, just because defaults on Git client were different.
Now we use explicit length for the hash, and length is the same as
is used for short hashes in Linux -- apparently they started to have
collisions with length of 11.
Cpack generates a standard filename with git information in it, which might not always be wanted for release builds, this patch adds an option to override that default filename.

Upstream is not always configured ad might give empty results.
Ideally we need to re-use the same code as we use for buildinfo,
but it's also a bit of a question which exact hash we want to put
to the name by default.
Updating rpms built from 'make package' has issues using the git hash since it isn't in a set order like svn commits, this lets it use the date to determine if the rpm is newer than the installed version.
Also updates the license text.
- It was using SOURCE_DIR which is undefined on windows.
No idea why it was defined on Linux, could be some
co-incident. Correct usage is CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR.
- Remove usages of SVN's revision.
-- package name and .spec->Version match
-- use find_lang macro for locales
-- Requires & Provides (mostly) match the fedora .spec
-- fix unpackaged file error for blender-thumbnailer.py
TODO: figure out how persuade CPack to make multiple rpms to also package blenderplayer
For cmake users, you should now use "make install" instead of "make". This was
already changed for Linux and Windows. Same for Xcode, use the install target.
Changes:
* CMake install mechanism, resulting bundle was verified to be indentical here.
* For cmake, include Info.plist in bundle using builtin mechanism for that.
There was some code in packaging.cmake, but it wasn't correct as these
properties need to be set on the executable.
* For scons, fix app bundle version, was still using removed release/VERSION.
* Remove unused blendercreator.app and blenderpublisher.app.
* Fix Info.plist being set as a binary file in svn, should be plain text.
