535d211c94 Fix #113386: separating by loose parts removes attribute data
The issue was that custom data layers were modified without checking
that the data was not shared. Now the data is unshared first.

I also added an assert to catches this kind of issue more directly.

a238ab737b Fix (unreported) liboverride: Hierarchy corruption when making some override local.
Making some liboverride local will break/corrupt liboverride hierarchies
in many cases. So that function (or its caller, in some cases) need to
call #BKE_lib_override_library_main_hierarchy_root_ensure to re-validate
(and re-generate if needed) the liboverride hierarchy roots.

c5e10920f9 Fix (studio-reported) liboverride: hierarchy root ensure fails in some cases.
The code ensuring a valid liboverride hierarchy root ID pointer for all
liboverrides in a given Main would fail in some cases, and crash on
asserts (in Debug builds) or due to corrupted data later in code
(release builds).

The main issue fixed here is re-entry in case of dependency loops (a
same ID being checked more than once within the same chain of recursive
calls to ensure its hierarchy root is valid). Solved the usual way now,
using the intermediate 'PROCESSING' flag instead of setting immediately
the 'PROCESSED' one, when recursively processing the chain of
dependencies.

A second issue fixed in that code was that in some cases, it could leave
the invalid existing hierarchy root pointer unchanged, because it could
not find a 'valid enough' alternative.

NOTE: This data corruption is presumably caused by 'make local'
operations on liboverride hierarchy root IDs. This will be addressed as
a second commit.

For reference, issue is reproducible when opening
`/promo/splash/040_0010.lighting.splash.blend` from Pets SVN repo r3106.

ae6b1ead4c Fix failure to check the error value for file-size access
Accessing the file size returns -1 on error, for file packing this
was passed directly to an allocation which would wrap around to
SIZE_T_MAX and fail to allocate. In other cases zero was treated
as an error value but -1 wasn't.

Add checks for the error return value, also warn that packing files over
2gb isn't supported.

262c67d36b Fix: instance reference does not compare equal to copy of itself
A copy has to compare equal to itself and have the same hash
when it is supposed to be used as a reference in a hash table
like `VectorSet`.

Just making the hash not change during a copy by hashing the
geometry component pointers instead of the geometry-set pointer
does not work because of `geometry_set_from_reference` which
assumed that changing the geometry set does not change the
hash of the reference.

For now the solution is to just not use a hash table as this
makes it easier to get corretness right. Instead, just use a
regular `Vector` to store all the references which avoids
the need for a hash function.

This can now lead to some O(n^2) behavior when adding many
references. Fortunately, this is not too common yet, as usually
one has few references but many instances that use those.
It's still something that has to be solved at some point. It's
not clear yet what approach would work best:
* Reintroduce `VectorSet` for the references and properly update
  the reference positions in the hash table after the references
  have changed.
* Add a separate `Map<Object*/Collection*, int>` for the
  deduplication.
* Do deduplication on the call-site of `add_reference` by building
  a temporary map there.

ba767610cf Fix #113280: Incorrect display of Cycles border render while rendering
A regression since d579ac2b3f.

Cycles delays allocation of the render buffers, which makes it impossible
to access effective render resolution during rendering. This was making the
drawing code to fall-back to the full scene resolution with only percentage
and crop accounted for.

This change makes it so an empty ImBuf is used to communicate the render
result resolution. It does not have any pixel buffer associated with it,
which actually matches the behaivor prior to the offending commit.

e773e0952a I18n: fix translation of Grease Pencil 3.0 layer names
The Grease Pencil 3.0 layers and groups were not properly translated:
- The layers and groups' names were translated during display in the
  layer list. Since they are data, they should be left untranslated at
  this time.
- On object creation, the names "GP_Layer", "Color", "Lines", and
  "Fills" were not translated at all.
  This adds DATA_() macros around to translate them if the user has
  enabled translation of new data names.
- The functions returning unique names for layers and groups
  unique_layer_group_name() and unique_layer_name() would return
  "GP_Layer" and "GP_Group" by default.
  These defaults are now translated.
- When adding new layers and groups, the name was always hardcoded to
  "GP_Layer" and "GP_Group" because the operators' properties for the
  names defaulted to that, and prop defaults cannot be translated.
  Instead, make them default to a null string, but choose an
  appropriate name when executing the op. This name is chosen by
  unique_layer_name() and unique_layer_group_name(), whose defaults
  are now translated.

fff74145f1 Fix #113186: The Render Result attribute "has_data" is always False
Caused by d579ac2b3f

This change restores the behavior of the flag to how it was prior to
the refactor which used ImBuf for storage in the RenderResult.

This flag still has issues with configurations when there are multiple
scenes in the .blend file, and that it is only "valid" when the image
is actually displayed. However, these limitations and quirks already
existed prior to the refactor commit.

71732a9600 Fix #113014: Improved sorting to keep node group outputs above inputs
The position validation when manipulating node group items now includes
outputs..inputs order in addition to sockets..panels order. The method
for finding a valid position has been simplified, it's just a single
iteration of insertion sort.

Versioning has been added to ensure files from 4.0 alpha with
potentially unsorted sockets get re-sorted. This uses `std::stable_sort`
so that sockets keep their relative order apart from the input/output
grouping.

cc7da09c1b Geometry: add utility to check for bad geometry element index dependence
Sometimes .blend files have compatibility issues between Blender versions,
because .blend files depended on the specific order of geometry elements
generated by some nodes/modifiers (#112746, #113018). While we make
guarantees about the order in some places, that is relatively rare, because it
makes future improvements much harder. The functionality in this patch
makes it easier for users to notice when they depend on things that are not
expected to be stable between Blender builds.

This is achieved by adding a new global flag which indicates whether some
algorithms should randomize their output. The functionality can be toggled
on or off by searching for `Set Geometry Randomization`. If there are no
differences (or acceptable minor ones) when the flag is on or off, one can
be reasonably sure that one does not on unspecified behavior (can't be 100%
sure though, because randomization might be missing in some places). If
there are big differences, one should consider fixing the file before it comes
to an actual breakage in the next Blender version.

Currently, the setting is only available when `Developer Extras` is turned on,
because the setting is in no menu.

With this patch, if we get bug reports with compatibility issues caused by
depending on indices, one of the following three cases should always apply:
* We actually accidentally broke something, which requires a fix commit.
* Turning on geometry randomization shows that the .blend file depends on
  things it shouldn't depend on. In this case the user has to fix the file.
* We are missing geometry randomization somewhere, which requires a fix
  commit.

16e4eeb9c0 Text objects: make CharInfo mat_nr zero-based
For text objects, the CharInfo mat_nr material index used to start at 1
(not at zero like for meshes or nurbs).
Code was mostly considering this (but not in all places, so material
index handling (removing/moving) could still go wrong.

As an alternative to !109746 (where it was made sure all places would
make the right assumption about mat_nr starting at 1), this PR now
changes the mat_nr to be zero-based.

This is more in line with other places handling material indices.

Versioning code is in place to properly convert old files.

fb556c75df Snap: New icons
For Blender 4.0 we decided to support individual icons for different
snap elements.

This was originally contributed by Erik Abrahamsson as !107054 with
some contributions by myself (Germano).

This set of icons being simple geometric symbols, that should be
familiar to CAD artists.

Note that Face and Volume share the same icon (circle). This is
deliberate since they communicate a similar functionality - are not
aimed at precision snapping the same way the vertex or perpendicular
are.

Also note that later we should also try to change the icons shown in
the snap menu to match the symbols that the artists see in the preview
window.

———

On the decision process:

The version currently in main (and rolled back here) was an initial
attempt of aggregating more information to the icons (e.g., by aligning
the icons to the target edges) while making them more suitable to
Blender. After presenting both options to (parts of the) community,
there was nothing fundamentally broken found with either option, though
options diverged over personal preference.

With that in mind, in the latest UI module meeting it was agreed to use
the original proposal then.

This final call was proposed by Dalai Felinto on his role of
commissioner (stakeholder) for the snap polishing tasks (#73993) and
designer for the related Snap Base design #66484.

———

This commit reverts commit 9c2e768f5b.

The reverted icons (referred originally as minimalistic icons) may be
proposed later as a separate theme option.

7449f0e14c Fix #109599: Setting custom normals can skip marking some edges sharp
Caused by a subtle logic change in 17d161f565 and follow ups.

Because they used to be stored in a singly-linked list, the old storage
for `corners_by_space` was backwards compared to the order each corner
was discovered in `split_loop_nor_fan_do`. I don't fully understand how
yet, but the logic when setting edges sharp based on divergence between
neighboring corner normals in a space relied on the iteration direction,
so as a fix, just iterate backwards over the corners in each space.

bc7034d9fd CurvesGeometry: Add initial vertex group support
This PR adds vertex groups to `CurvesGeometry` as well as an attribute read/write accessor.

This is also in preparation for GPv3. Since the goal is to have full compatibility with the current grease pencil features, vertex groups need to be supported.

Grease Pencil allows filtering by vertex group for modifiers.To support this, it also makes sense to have read/write access for vertex groups in the attributes API.

In the future, vertex groups should be just another custom attribute on meshes/curves/grease pencil. There are some more issues to be solved before that can happen. This step gets us a bit closer since the vertex weight data is stored in `CustomData`.

86a0d0015a VSE: Improve retiming UI
Currently retiming is quite awkward, when you need to retime multiple
strips strips in sync. It is possible to use meta strips, but this is
still not great. This is resolved by implementing selection.

General changes:
Gizmos are removed, since they are designed to operate only on active
strip and don't support selection.
Transform operator code is implemented for retiming data, which allows
more sophisticated manipulation.
Instead of drawing marker-like symbols, keyframes are drawn to
represent retiming data. Retiming handles are now called keys. To have
consistent names, DNA structures have been renamed.
Retiming data is drawn on strip as overlay.

UI changes:
Retiming tool is removed. To edit retiming data, press Ctrl + R, select
a key and move it. When retiming is edited, retiming menu and
context menu shows more relevant features, like making transitions.
Strip and retiming key selection can not be combined. It is possible to
use box select operator to select keys, if any key is selected.
Otherwise strips are selected.
Adding retiming keys is possible with I shortcut or from menu.
Retiming keys are always drawn at strip left and right boundary. These
keys do not really exist until they are selected. This is to simplify
retiming of strips that are resized. These keys are called "fake keys"
in code.

API changes:
Functions, properties and types related to retiming handles are renamed
to retiming keys:
retiming_handle_add() -> retiming_key_add()
retiming_handle_move() -> retiming_key_move()
retiming_handle_remove() -> retiming_key_remove()
retiming_handles -> retiming_keys
RetimingHandle -> RetimingKey

Retiming editing "mode" is activated by setting `Sequence.show_retiming_keys`.

ad169ba67a Geometry Nodes: support baking individual simulations
Previously, it was only possible to bake all simulations at once. This is great
for simple use-cases that, but in more complex setups one can have independent
simulations that should also be baked independently. This patch allows baking
individual simulation zones.

Furthermore, each simulation zone can now also have its own bake path and
simulation frame range. By default the simulation frame range is the scene frame
range, but it can also be customized on the scene or simulation zone level. The
bake path is generated based on the modifier bake path by default, but can be
set to another absolute or relative (to the .blend file) path.

The timeline drawing has been modified as well to be able to show more information
in the case when some simulations are baked and others are not. Instead of showing
a line for every simulation, it shows a condensed view of the important information
using at most two lines:
Is something baked? Is something valid or invalid? Also see #112232.

49eab72141 Fix #107030: return accurate action frame ranges from the Python API
This changes the `action.frame_range` Python API to return an accurate
frame range for actions.  Specifically, it was previously special-cased
to return a range with length 1 whenever the length was actually 0.  This
led to a bizarre situation where a real frame range of `[0.0, 0.2]` would
return that range as-is, but a real frame range of `[0.0, 0.0]` would
instead return a range of `[0.0, 1.0]`.

The new behavior simply always returns the real frame range.

The reason for the previous behavior was obscure: the relevant code was
also used internally in Blender's NLA system, and returning a zero-length
range could result in NLA strips getting infinite scale.  The code is now
separated out appropriately so that the NLA system still gets the
non-zero-length range, while the Python API for actions returns the real
range.

c524fbe623 Anim: Improve readability of channel colors in channel list
Draw anim channel colors as a little rectangle in the channel list,
instead of taking over the entire channel name background. This keeps
the channel names readable, regardless of the channel colors.

Channel colors are typically set via the bone colors, and since those
are chosen for visual contrast in the 3D Viewport, they aren't
guaranteed to also be a suitable background color for the channel list.
Because of this, it's no longer used as such.

The channel 'data' background (i.e. the keyframe area) is now drawn with
a consistent color, and much more subtle.

This also enables the 'Channel Group Colors' setting in the preferences
by default, as it is now way less obnoxious and invasive.

395f279166 Fix: Missing node asset menu updates after mark asset
Use of node group assets relies on a few properties written to asset
meta-data for proper filtering of assets in menus (add modifier menu,
node add menu, 3D view menus for tools). Currently these meta-data
properties are written when updating their source properties and when
saving the file. That means they *aren't* written when marking a group
as an asset, which is necessary because the meta-data doesn't exist
before when the group isn't an asset. Currently users have to save the
file to update menus in this case, which isn't intuitive.

As a fix, call the function to write the meta-data when marking a
data-block as an asset.

other functionality under some circumstances.

This effectively reverts 12ef20990b, except for
the bug fix in `BKE_id_attribute_new`.

#112891 adds a warning to avoid make users aware of duplicate names so that they
can be avoided in practice.

97f2b01ea9 Fix #112351: Sculpt implicit sharing thread safety crash
Currently the iteration over a PBVH node's vertices retrieves mutable
access to the mask custom data layer. This isn't threadsafe, but it is
done in the multithreaded loops over all nodes.

In general, we need to be more careful and conservative about storage
of non-const pointers to mesh data. Ideally we would only have one
mutable reference to a resource at a time. And we should avoid doing
work like looking up custom data layers more than we need to.

To that end, make the pointer to the custom data layer used everywhere
const, and retrieve mutable access before parallel node iteration with
a specific function, and write to the mask data with that in mind.

This pushes us in the direction of sharing less code per PBVH type.
In my opinion that's a good thing, because we can actually optimize for
each type. For example, `write_mask_data` gives a picture of
how each of these hot loops could become much simpler.

0055ae01ab Anim: implement a new curve-aware vertex to B-Bone segment mapping mode.
Currently vertices are mapped to B-Bone segments without taking the
rest pose curve into account. This is very simple and fast, but causes
poor deformations in some cases where the rest curvature is significant,
e.g. mouth corners in the new Rigify face rig.

This patch implements a new mapping mode that addresses this problem.
The general idea is to do an orthogonal projection on the curve. However,
since there is no analytical solution for bezier curves, it uses the
segment approximation:

* First, boundaries between segments are used for a binary space
  partitioning search to narrow down the mapping to one segment.
* Then, a position on the segment is chosen via linear
  interpolation between the BSP planes.
* Finally, to remove the sharp discontinuity at the evolute surface
  a smoothing pass is applied to the chosen position by blending to
  reduce the slope around the planes previously used in the BSP search.

In order to make per-vertex processing faster, a new array with the
necessary vectors converted to the pose space, as well as some
precomputed coefficients, is built.

The new mode is implemented as a per-bone option in order to ensure
backward compatibility, and also because the new mode may not be
optimal for all cases due to the difference in performance, and
complications like the smoothed but still present mapping
discontinuities around the evolute surface.
