Instead of calling a function looping over whole list of a given ID
type, make whole loop over Main in parent function, and call functions
writing a single datablock at a time.
This design is more in line with all other places in Blender where we
handle whole content of Main (including readfile.c), and much more easy
to extend and add e.g. some generic processing of IDs before/after
writing, etc.
From user point, there should be no change at all, only difference is
that data-block types won't be saved in same order as before (.blend
file specs enforces no order here, so this is not an issue, but it could
bug some third party users using other, simplified .blend file reader maybe).

We concluded this is going to be the display mode users will need to work
with the most, so makes sense to make it the default one.
Also, if the opened file only has one collection in the active render
layer, we expand it (almost empty list would be misleading).
What I had to do to make the expanding work is a bit ugly, but didn't
find a better way. During do_version we don't have access to the
TreeElement instances, and including ED_outliner.h to share code here
should be avoided too.
Internal change needed for template support.
Loading the user preferences first so it's possible
for preferences to control startup behavior.
In general it's useful to load preferences before data-files,
so we know security settings for eg.
Talked with Pablo Vazquez (venomgfx) and Julian Eisel (Severin), and we came up with this solution instead.
Basically, if the file has only one layer, it is converted to a collection named "Default Collection". Otherwise we name the collections: "Collection 1 [converted from 2.75]"
This slightly changes SDef behavior, by now respecting object transforms
at bind time, thus not requiring the objects to be aligned in their
respective local spaces, but instead using world space.
There were some issues with how we store outliner tree elements:
Apparently the only removable elements have been data-blocks so far.
When recreating the TreeElements, their TreeStoreElem instances were
mainly identified by their ID pointer. However non-data-blocks mostly
depend on an index. For collections, such an index isn't a reliable
measure though if we want to allow removing items. Depending on it for
identifying the TreeStoreElem instance would cause some quite noticeable
glitches (wrong highlights, two elements sharing highlight, etc).
For now I've solved that by actually removing the TreeStoreElem that
represents the removed element. A little limitation of this is that
after undoing the removal, some information might get lost, like
flags to store selection, or opened/closed state.
A better solution that would also fix this issue would be having a real
unique identifier for each non-data-block element, like an idname or even
its data-pointer. Not sure if we can get those to work reliable with
file read/write though, would have to investigate...
Also added a general Outliner tree traversal utility.
Please never, ever use same DNA var for two different things. Even worse
if they do not have same type and ranges!
This is only ensuring issues (as described in report, but also if
animating both RNA props using same DNA var... yuck).
And we were not even saving any byte in DNA, could reuse some padding
there to store the two new needed vars (yes, two, since we cannot re-use
existing one if we want to keep backward *and* forward compatibility).
This prevents crashes when a file was saved with 2.8, but a new
engine settings property was created.
In those cases any previous collection settings are wiped out. We can do
an elegant merge soon.
This reverts commit 3da834e83ce9d7056c033148dab04885a6d3b1b7.
We will use the outliner for this now.
I'm also moving the collections_ops.c to outliner_collections.c
Note: we are now merging all the collection engines (mode and render), which eventually may get slow. But as stated before, this is to expose the functionality, while waiting for proper depsgraph integrated solution.
I didn't manage to get the proper object context in the collection
properties editor. That said I got it working for now in a temporary way
since this will change once we get workspaces anyways
(see changes in buttons_context.c and
rna_scene.c::rna_LayerCollection_mode_settings_get)
I still need to handle the merging of the settings. I will find a
provisory solution while we wait for depsgraph.
(also layer_collection_create_mode_settings_object and layer_collection_create_mode_settings_edit could probably be elsewhere - under draw/engines likely)
We now assert that we now file version of libraries (needed for
do_version after linking step), so for missing libraries, set dummy
numbers (using version of main .blend file actually).
To bring this fix a step further we need to address all the BA_WAS_SEL instances, and make sure they follow the new design.
This commit allow you to see the object selected (its center anyways) when you do select all.
Note: in the clay engine selection (a) was already working fine.
Every time:
* A collection settings is set
* A collection visibility changes
* An object is added/removed/ ...
We need to recalculate the "accumulated" CollectionEngineSettings that
the render engine should use for an object.
This is to be handled by the depsgraph. Meanwhile this code should allow
us to start using those settings in the render engines.
Note: We are storing this in the objects, which means we can only have
one active calculated option every time.
This is intended to get the conversation with the Depsgraph department
going.
Initial work by Clément Foucault with contributions from Dalai Felinto
(mainly per-collection engine settings logic, and depsgraph iterator placeholder).
This makes Blender require OpenGL 3.3. Which means Intel graphic card
and OSX will break. Disable CLAY_ENGINE in CMake in those cases.
This is a prototype render engine intended to help the design of real
render engines. This is mainly an engine with enphasis in matcap and
ambient occlusion.

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.

Better to have clear way to tell whether flag is parameter for
BKE_library_foreach_ID_link(), parameter for its callback function, or
return value from this callback function.
We are not bumping file version, but we cannot have the doversion code running twice.
In this particular case it was crashing files, since we were setting node->storage to NULL, and later on accessing it.
This is much more flexible solution which will allow doing some
more procedural features.

New options to define the style of the animation paths in order to get
better visibility in complex scenes.
Now is possible define the color, thickness and several options relative
to the style of the lines used to draw motion path.
This commit introduces the ability to use the Robert Penner easing equations
or a Custom Curve to control the way that the "Interpolate Sequence" operator
interpolates between keyframes. Previously, it was only possible to get linear
interpolation between the gp frames.
Workflow:
1) Place current frame between a pair of GP keyframes
2) Open the "Interpolate" panel in the Toolshelf
3) Choose the interpolation type (under "Sequence Options")
4) Adjust settings (e.g. if you're using "Custom Curve", use the curvemap widget
to define the way that the interpolation proceeds)
5) Click "Sequence" to interpolate
6) Play back/scrub the animation to see if you've got the result you want
7) If you need to make some tweaks, undo, or delete the generated keyframes,
then repeat the process again from step 4 until you've got the desired result.
Things like `BLI_uniquename` had nothing, but really nothing to do in
BLI_path_util files!
Also, got rid of length limitation in `BLI_uniquename_cb`, we can use
alloca here to avoid overhead of malloc while keeping free size (within
reasonable limits of course).
Please **DO NOT** add changes from master when it's totally uneeded!
Changes to BLI_ area most certainly shall *always* be done in master,
there is absolutely no point in adding more diff between the two
branches than needed, will only makes merging more cumbersome!
