Some of these devices are not capable of running >=4.0, due to issues
with Mesa's Compute Shaders and their D3D drivers.
This PR marks those GPUs as unsupported, and prints info to stdout.
A driver update will be available for 8cx Gen3 on the 17th October
from here:
https://www.qualcomm.com/products/mobile/snapdragon/pcs-and-tablets/snapdragon-8-series-mobile-compute-platforms/snapdragon-8cx-gen-3-compute-platform#Software
It will take longer via the standard MS Windows Update channels,
as there is certification, testing, etc required, but it is possible
to get the drivers, at least.
This issue applies even when using emulated x64.
If this does not get merged, all WoA devices will break with 4.0,
where older ones will just launch a grey screen and crash, and newer
ones will open, but scenes will not render correctly in Workbench.
These devices work by using Mesa's D3D12 Gallium driver ("GLOn12"),
which is why we have to read the DirectX driver version - the version
reported by OpenGL is the mesa version, which is independent of the
driver (which is the part with the bug).
Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/113674
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.
