The old add-ons UI had a "Refresh" operator that would re-scan
the file-system and show any changes.
Add an equivalent operator that works for both extensions and legacy
add-ons and add it to the extension menu.
This is useful for a few situations:
- Refresh based on changes to "System" repositories which are read-only
from Blender and intended to be manipulated outside of Blender.
- Anyone managing their own "User" repository.
- For developers to create extensions, where re-starting to see changes
to meta-data is inconvenient.
- Troubleshooting problems parsing extension meta-data as problems are
reported to the operator.
The following operations have been removed for system repositories:
- Installing from disk.
- Uninstall extensions.
- Delete files (when removing the repository).
Also change the operator to remove a repository so the option to
remove files is now a boolean instead of an enum. While a dynamic
enum can be made to work, this option is logically a boolean.
Since these actions are no longer blocking, 100 times a second could
add unnecessary overhead (although updates are only shown when changes
are detected). Nevertheless, reduce the frequency to 10 times a second.
When installing extensions, the user could exit Blender which wasn't
being handled properly - the processes would be left running and raise
a broken pipe error (on Linux).
Resolve this by canceling the processes, matching the behavior of when
escape is pressed.
This means exiting Blender while installing/updating wont leave the
repositories in an unknown state.
Disabling the last Subdivision Surface modifier was removed by mistake
in
blender/blender-addons/commit/bc801d7b1dad4be446435e0cab4d3a80e6bb1d04
This patch restores the mistakenly removed code that disables the last
Subdivision Surface modifier when the option to export FBX Subdivision
Surface is enabled.
The add-on's patch version has been increased.
Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/122841
Since [0] there was no way to refresh local repositories,
with the poll messages suggesting to restart Blender to see updates
which isn't practical for developers.
The ability to refresh was prevented when "Online Access" was disabled,
meaning a developer couldn't easily develop their own add-ons unless
they were online.

The buttons to upgrade or sync extensions called extension
operators via bpy.app.handlers, requiring awkward glue-code
which didn't show error reports in to the user.
Remove these operators and call the upgrade & sync operators directly.
We don't have yet the perfect formula, so adding
- An option to disable bone shape for Blender heuristic, if needed
- An option to scale factor the bone shape for Blender heuristic
Update .glb / .gltf extension
Part of #122783
Still remaining the change of default (grayed) value if user didn't set filepath yet
But not sure this can be accessible from python API
When a file is created with pre- 4.2 version, but is open with 4.2 version:
We can now detect the automatically created node setup
Wrong for the exact value of the cutoff, but better than nothing to get it detected
Based on feedback in !122727, include previously built-in add-ons
in the built-in extensions panel even if there is no support for
adding it back via the extensions repository.
This groups all the add-ons from 4.1 which were enabled but are no
longer distributed with Blender and provides an easy way for users to
install them. This panel is collapsed by default.
