When having a checkbox and a value both in one row together with an
animation decorator it is questionable whether the decorator should act
on animating the checkbox or the corresponding value.
We had similar cases before (e.g. 7c04ef210e)
In this case as well, one would think it is more desirable to animate
the actual Temperature **value** (instead of the checkbox), so this is
what this PR does.

This commit moves the freestyle edge and face mark tags to become
generic attributes, similar to other changes over the past years. The
attributes are called "freestyle_edge" and "freestyle_face", and they're
now propagated like regular boolean attributes.
Compatibility wise, forward and backward blend file compatibility are
maintained (for forward compatibility this is implemented a bit
differently than in the past because of the ongoing `AttributeStorage`
transition). In the Python API, `use_freestyle_mark` has been removed;
the attribute API should be used instead (just like bevel weights).
The BMesh (`freestyle`) accessors are removed too.
The conversions benefit from the fact that bit-wise, the old structs are
the same as `bool`, so we can convert to the old and new formats without
reallocating arrays.

Panel toggles are implemented by having a boolean socket with
`is_panel_toggle` set to `True`, as the first item in that panel's children.
These sockets are then hidden from the user, as the checkbox gets drawn
in the panel's UI.
In specific circumstances described in the bug report, the active selection
can sometimes land on these sockets. Leading to the user being able to
directly access these internal sockets.
The changes in the patch make the "Remove Item" operator check if
the resulting selection lands in a toggle socket, and move the selection
to that toggle's parent panel if that is the case.

This PR moves Wayland/HDR support out of experimental.
This allows more people to test and provide feedback. We
can always decide later to disable it for the release, but so
far we only got positive feedback.

Some items in the node editors' add menus were not properly
translated. The affected items referenced an enum property on a node,
such as Math node's Operation.
Since some of those enums use a specific translation context, the same
context must be used when adding them to the search menus. The context
can simply be retrieved from the bl_rna prop itself.
In addition, some items use labels that are already translated
manually and do not need the auto translation, so disable that in
those cases (translate=False).
No new messages are added by this change.

Instead of only showing a button to switch to the texture properties -
which don't actually allow creating a texture for linestyle - add a
data-block selector that allows creating a texture for linestyle. It
will also show a button to switch to the texture properties, if
available.
It seems like the previous UI didn't have any good way of assigning a
texture for linestyle, without going into the texture node editor.

**Problem Description**
Blender's current mesh data layout often lacks spatial coherence,
causing performance bottlenecks during BVH construction for sculpting
and painting operations. Each time a BVH is built, the system must
recompute spatial partitioning and vertex groupings from scratch,
leading to redundant calculations and suboptimal memory access patterns.
**Proposed Solution**
This patch implements pre-computed spatial organization of mesh data
through a new `mesh_apply_spatial_organization()` function that:
- Reorders vertices and faces based on spatial locality using recursive
spatial partitioning.
- Stores pre-computed MeshGroup hierarchies in MeshRuntime for reuse.
- Enables the BVH system to bypass expensive spatial computation when
pre-organized data is available.
This approach separates the expensive spatial computation from more
frequent BVH rebuilds, providing sustained performance improvements
across multiple sculpting operations.
**Limitations**
- Requires manual invocation (occurs automatically only during remesh
operations).
- Additional memory overhead for storing MeshGroup metadata.
- One-time computational cost during initial organization.
- Spatial group references are not yet stored in files.
**User Interface**
The feature is accessible via a new "Reorder Mesh Spatially" operator in
the Mesh Data Properties panel under the Geometry Data section. Users
can invoke it manually when needed, or it will be applied automatically
during quadriflow and voxel remesh operations. The operator provides
feedback confirming successful spatial reordering.

You could basically not interact with the animation (except for
keyframes in the main region), channels region was totally empty, NLA
could not be used, ...
It is not something users will animate a lot, but we should still have
animation editors in mind when adding a new object type.

This replaces the Move/Link to Collection operator popup with a menu,
allowing this to be able to search collection to move and to expand
this menu from other menus.
This removes the expected memory leak of using the popup.
Move to Collection operator now uses `session_uid` to identify
target collection, this now allows to target a collection from another

Geometry Nodes' Add > Input > Import menu includes file format items
such as "Standford PLY (.ply)", "STL (.stl)", "Text (.txt)". The
latter needs to be translated because "Text" is a generic format.
These items are declared using a custom function
`node_add_menu.add_node_type`, with a `label` argument. This commit
adds the `label` argument to the function arguments that can be
extracted from specific node declaration functions, and specifies the
argument position for each:
"add_node_type", "add_node_type_with_outputs", "add_simulation_zone",
"add_repeat_zone", "add_foreach_geometry_element_zone",
"add_closure_zone".
There is currently no facility to specify a translation context but it
could be easily added if the need arises.
Most of these functions do not actually declare new, unique messages,
but it could happen in the future. In addition, two messages were
extracted using manual `iface_()` calls, which are no longer needed
after this change.
Reported by Ye Gui in #43295.
This commit introduces the `radial_symmetry` property on the `Mesh`
datablock and simultaneously removes the `radial_symm` property in
Sculpt, Vertex Paint, and Weight Paint.
This allows users to have these symmetry values defined on a per-object
basis instead of needing to reconfigure it for each mesh.
Current values stored on the `ToolSettings` on a per-scene basis are not
copied to each mesh in a scene. This is done to avoid introducing
potentially inaccurate data to a large number of meshes at the cost of
some minor backwards incompatibility.

"Mirror" can mean:
- To symmetrize something (i.e. generate a new mirrored copy of it or
edit it in a symmetric fashion).
- To flip something (i.e. invert its values along X, Y or Z axes).
- To repeat a texture in a mirrored fashion outside its bounds.

Replace use of bpy.ops.wm.append with the Python equivalent.
This avoids a separate append call for every group.
Also refactor lookups so node-group names only need to be declared once,
then used to populate a named-tuple.
The default nodes were still present in the node tree when Setup
Tracking Scene operator was called.
The issue was that the operator assumed the default tree always has the
same number and types of nodes, which wasn't true anymore after the
default node tree was changed in df6e65dd93
This PR keeps the changes to a minimum by updating the assumption
about the default node tree.

This PR makes it easier to add keyframes for strips in preview.
This works same way as in 3D viewport, using keying sets. Pressing I
key adds keyframe to default keying set, pressing K dhows menu with
available keying sets. For VSE, location, rotation and scale properties
are available for now. Other existing keying sets are not valid for
VSE.
Deleting keyframes and potentially adding more keying sets will be
handled in separate PR.

This patch removes the Texture node from the compositor, which was based
on the legacy Internal Textures system in Blender. The main motivation
for removing this node is as follows:
- Procedural texturing nodes that previously existed in shading and
geometry nodes are now supported in the compositor, which cover 95% of
what is previously possible using and even adds new possibilities like
Gabor, Bricks, and various improvements to existing texture types.
- The old texture system did not support GPU evaluation, so it was
always computed and cached on the CPU, which causes bad performance
especially for interactive use in the viewport compositor. While the
new nodes are fully GPU accelerated and do not require any caching.
- The Texture node didn't support Texture nodes, so it was not fully
supported and we so far had a warning about that.
- The general direction in Blender is to remove the old texture system,
and the compositor was one of the last main users of it. 5.0 is thus
the ideal time to remove such use.
- The Texture node was always and still is a source of bugs, since it
relies on proper tagging for cache invalidation and updates, which is
so far not perfect. It also suffers from UI/UX issues, since it needs
to be adjusted from the properties panel, which can break if there are
other texture nodes in the context.
This is a breaking change and no versioning was attempted since:
1. It is impossible to get the same results as before due to the use of
different random number generators, so any versioning would just give us
the general look.
2. The Texture node supports a lot of possible configurations. For
instance, each general texture can have many options for the basis type,
and each basis type might have multiple options. So versioning all of
that will take a lot of time, code, and effort.

This change enables HDR support for wayland as an experimental feature.
It supports both non-linear extended sRGB and un-clamped sRGB.
Windows isn't supported as the HDR settings are not accessible via an
API and would require similar settings that games use to configure the
monitor. Adding those sliders isn't what we would like to add.
Vulkan (working group) is working on new extensions that might change
the shortcomings. It isn't clear yet what the extension will do and what
the impact is for applications that want to use it. When the extension
is out we should review at the situation again.
