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.
A lot of files were missing copyright field in the header and
the Blender Foundation contributed to them in a sense of bug
fixing and general maintenance.
This change makes it explicit that those files are at least
partially copyrighted by the Blender Foundation.
Note that this does not make it so the Blender Foundation is
the only holder of the copyright in those files, and developers
who do not have a signed contract with the foundation still
hold the copyright as well.
Another aspect of this change is using SPDX format for the
header. We already used it for the license specification,
and now we state it for the copyright as well, following the
FAQ:

It used to be a number of fixed full screen images where the
responsibility was at image engine. Now moved the responsibility to the
drawing mode to make sure we can allocate non-full region-size textures
in a future refactoring.
Image engine is used to draw the image inside the image editor, uv editor and node editor. The
performance during scrolling wasn't smooth when using larger textures on a dedicated GPU. Main
reason was the data transfers that happens when panning the image.
The original idea of the image engine was to have 4 textures that are as large as the editor.
Those textures would be used to simulate a larger canvas where if the texture is out of the
visible area the texture would be reused to contain the data of a new visible area. This would
reduce the data transfers to only on certain x/y coordinates. Between those coordinates no
data transfers would be needed.
This patch implements the mechanism described above. During development other areas to
improve have been detected (incorrect color management for float textures, using different
image formats to reduce data transfer bandwidths, using different render techniques for
images upto 8k). More improvements will follow.
When resizing a viewport all engine instance data was cleared.
This wasn't the intended design and lead to performance regressions
in the image engine.
This patch makes sure that the instance data isn't cleared when
the viewport size changes. When using instance data, draw engines
are responsible to update the textures accordingly.
This could also reduce flickering/stalling when resizing the viewport
in eevee-next.
Fixes T95428.

ImageTileWrapper is a wrapper around ImageTile to centralize tile calculations when
using CPP. Currentry used by the image engine and will be used for the 3d
texturing brush project.
This is only part of the experimental "Full Frame" mode (disabled
by default). See T88150.
Currently the viewer node uses buffer paddings to display image offset
in the backdrop as a temporal solution implemented for {D12466}.
This solution is inefficient memory and performance-wise. Another
issue is that the paddings are part the image when saved.
This patch instead sets the offset in the Viewer node image
as variables and makes the backdrop take it into account
when drawing the image or any related gizmo.

The image engine is depth aware when using tile drawing the depth is
only updated for the central image what lead to showing the background
on top of other areas.
Also makes sure that switching the tile drawing would lead to an update
of the texture slots.
Previously we used to cache a float image representation of the image in
rect_float. This adds some incorrect behavior as many areas only expect
one of these buffers to be used.
This patch stores float buffers inside the image engine. This is done per
instance. In the future we should consider making a global cache.
Previous implementation had a copy of the image user, which doesn't
contain all the data to identify changes. This patch introduces a new
struct to store the data and can be extended with other data as well
(color spaces, alpha settings).
Currently one a single texture slot is used to update the screen.
Current design is implemented to use multiple textures.
for now limit the number of texture slots to 1.
Use a shorter/simpler license convention, stops the header taking so
much space.

Empty (UDIM) tiles where drawn with a transparency checkerboard. They
should be rendered with a border background. The cause is that the image
engine would select a single area that contained all tiles and draw them
as being part of an image.
The fix is to separate the color and depth part of the image engine
shader and only draw the depths of tiles that are enabled.
Adding better support for drawing huge images in the image/uv editor. Also solved tearing artifacts.
The approach is that for each image/uv editor a screen space gpu texture is created that only contains
the visible pixels. When zooming or panning the gpu texture is rebuild.
Although the solution isn't memory intensive other parts of blender memory usage scales together with
the image size.
* Due to complexity we didn't implement partial updates when drawing images tiled (wrap repeat).
This could be added, but is complicated as a change in the source could mean many different
changes on the GPU texture. The work around for now is to tag all gpu textures to be dirty when
changes are detected.
Original plan was to have 4 screen space images to support panning without gpu texture creation.
For now we don't see the need to implement it as the solution is already fast. Especially when
GPU memory is shared with CPU ram.
