This flag is moved to a different variable but the default value is still placed on the wrong variable.
This fixes the default value assignment but due to the old flag bits are in conflict with used bits in the new flag variables, versioning changes are not included.

Auto-depth is no longer reset during consecutive touch-pad motion.
Details:
- Add wmEvent::flag, WM_EVENT_IS_CONSECUTIVE to detect consecutive
track-pad & NDOF motion events. Expose via RNA as Event.is_consecutive.
- Consecutive events are broken by button/key presses and mouse motion.
- Add `WM_event_consecutive_data_*` functions, so operators can store
data between consecutive events.
- Add `ED_view3d_autodist_last_*` functions to access the last autodist
pivot point for view operators to use.
Various UI code would store the `AssetHandle` in a way that turns out to
be unsafe. The file-data is part of the file browser caching system that
releases file-data when a certain maximum of items is in the cache. So
even while just iterating over the assets, earlier iterated asset
handles may become invalid. Now asset handles are really treated as
volatile, short lived objects.
For the asset-view, the fix was more involved. There we need an RNA
collection of asset-handles, because the UI list code requires that. So
we create a dummy collection and get the asset handles as needed by
index. This again meant that I had to keep the index of the collection
and the asset-list in sync, so all filtering had to be moved to the UI
list.
I tried duplicating the file-data out of the cache instead, but that
caused problems with managing the memory/ownership of the preview
images.
`AssetHandle` should be removed and replaced by `AssetRepresentation`,
but this would be an even more disruptive change (breaking API
compatibility too).

When the height of the editor couldn't fit the sidebar tabs, they would shrink
to a size too small to read the tab label.
This change matches the behaviour with the Properties Editor navigation bar,
by introducing the following improvements:
* Avoid truncating tab labels.
* Allow scrolling when tabs don't fit.
Behaviour is similar to how scrolling works in the Properties Editor navigation
bar, supporting mouse wheel up/down and MMB, and switching tabs with
`Ctrl+Wheel Up/Down`.

One of the advantages of separating this enum member from the others is
because mixing several members in a single one hinders debugging since
in this case the IDE does not define which enums were set.
Also separating this item makes it more readable as `SCE_SNAP_MODE_GEOM`
is not a snap mode but a combination of modes.
Commit ea97bb1641 introducing the GHash mapping between objects and
their CollectionObject items in a Collection broke ID remapping of
collections's objects. Release builds would 'work', but debug builds
would assert in several ways when opening complex production files.
The root of the issue was a bad/missing handling of the 'duplicate case'
(several CollectionObjects pointing to a same Object).
While fixing the code was possible, it turned out to require disabling
to much safety checks. Further more, there was an opportunity to improve
efficiency of the related code in ID remapping (the pos-processing
checking for NULL and duplicates in collections objects lists).
This commit introduces a new 'dirty' tag for CollectionObject lists and
their ghash mappings.
This tag is set by the `foreach_id` callback when the `ob` pointer of a
CollectionObject is changed, and it is detected as (potentially)
breaking the consistency of that data.
This tag is then used by a new `BKE_collections_object_remove_invalids`
call, to only check and fix collections tagged as dirty, instead of all
the collections in the given Main. It replaces the previous
`BKE_collections_object_remove_nulls` and
`BKE_collections_object_remove_duplicates` functions.
The speed-up is about an order of magnitude for the clean-up code
itself, which gives 2-3 percent speed-up on resynching a complex
production file e.g.
This commit also includes some cleanups and re-organization of related
code.
For mesh primitives, the bounds can be calculated trivially in advance
with negligible cost. In case they are needed later on, setting them
eagerly can save the calculation later on. For large meshes, this can
save tens of milliseconds before drawing.

Currently the shade smooth status for mesh faces is stored as part of
`MPoly::flag`. As described in #95967, this moves that information
to a separate boolean attribute. It also flips its status, so the
attribute is now called `sharp_face`, which mirrors the existing
`sharp_edge` attribute. The attribute doesn't need to be allocated
when all faces are smooth. Forward compatibility is kept until
4.0 like the other mesh refactors.
This will reduce memory bandwidth requirements for some operations,
since the array of booleans uses 12 times less memory than `MPoly`.
It also allows faces to be stored more efficiently in the future, since
the flag is now unused. It's also possible to use generic functions to
process the values. For example, finding whether there is a sharp face
is just `sharp_faces.contains(true)`.
The `shade_smooth` attribute is no longer accessible with geometry nodes.
Since there were dedicated accessor nodes for that data, that shouldn't
be a problem. That's difficult to version automatically since the named
attribute nodes could be used in arbitrary combinations.
**Implementation notes:**
- The attribute and array variables in the code use the `sharp_faces`
term, to be consistent with the user-facing "sharp faces" wording,
and to avoid requiring many renames when #101689 is implemented.
- Cycles now accesses smooth face status with the generic attribute,
to avoid overhead.
- Changing the zero-value from "smooth" to "flat" takes some care to
make sure defaults are the same.
- Versioning for the edge mode extrude node is particularly complex.
New nodes are added by versioning to propagate the attribute in its
old inverted state.
- A lot of access is still done through the `CustomData` API rather
than the attribute API because of a few functions. That can be
cleaned up easily in the future.
- In the future we would benefit from a way to store attributes as a
single value for when all faces are sharp.

Previously `SEQ_transform_single_image_check` function was used to check
if image or effect strip has only one frame of content. Now these strips
are flagged with `SEQ_SINGLE_FRAME_CONTENT`.
While previously this was implicit property of strip, benefit of having
explicit flag is that this property can be decoupled from strip length.

When investigating ID user-count issues, it wasn't clear how nodes
were meant to handle user-count for ID's. Specifically that the
initfunc should _not_ increment the ID's user count.
Drivers: Introduce the Context Properties
The goal: allow accessing context dependent data, such as active scene camera
without linking to a specific scene data-block. This is useful in cases when,
for example, geometry node setup needs to be aware of the camera position.
A possible work-around without changes like this is to have some scene
evaluation hook which will update driver variables for the currently evaluating
scene. But this raises an issue of linking: it is undesirable that the asset
scene is linked to the shot file.
Surely, it is possible to have post-evaluation handler to clear the variables,
but it all starts to be quite messy. Not to mention possible threading
conflicts.
Another possibility of introducing a way to achieve the goal is to make it so
the dependency graph somehow parses the python expression where artists can
(and already are trying to) type something like:
depsgraph.scene.camera.matrix_world.col[3][0]
But this is not only tricky to implement properly and reliably, it hits two
limitations:
- Currently dependency graph can only easily resolve dependencies to a RNA
property.
- Some properties access which are valid in Python are not considered valid
RNA properties by the existing property resolution functions:
`camera.matrix_world[3][0]` is a valid RNA property, but
`camera.matrix_world.col[3][0]` is not.
Using driver variables allows to have visual feedback when the path resolution
fails, and there is no way to visualize errors in the python expression itself.
This change introduces the new variable type: Context Property. Using this
variable type makes allows to choose between Active Scene and Active View
Layer. These scene and view layer are resolved during the driver evaluation
time, based on the current dependency graph.
This allows to create a driver variable in the following configuration:
- Type: Context Property
- Context Property: Active Scene
- Path: camera.matrix_world[3][0]
The naming is a bit confusing. Tried my best to keep it clear keeping two
aspects in mind: using UI naming when possible, and follow the existing
naming.
A lot of the changes are related on making it so the required data is available
from the variable evaluation functions. It wasn't really clear what the data
would be, and the scope of the changes, so it is done together with the
functional changes.
It seems that there is some variable evaluation logic duplicated in the
`bpy_rna_driver.c`. This change does not change it. It is not really clear why
this separate code path with much more limited scope of supported target types
is even needed.
There is also a possible change in the behavior of the dependency graph: it
is now using ID of the resolved path when building driver variables. It used
to use the variable ID. In common cases they match, but when going into nested
data-blocks it is actually correct to use relation to the resolved ID. Not sure
if there was some code to ensure that, which now can be resolved. Also not sure
whether it is still needed to ensure the ID specified in the driver target is
build as well. Intuitively it is not needed.

Currently, curves have a default offset of 1.0, while the initial (and
expected) value is 0.0. When resetting this value to its default, the
curve is now modified unexpectedly. This is most noticeable with text
objects: when resetting the offset of a new text, it will look very
broken.
Internally the value is stored with an offset of 1.0, with custom
setter and getter adding and subtracting 1.0 respectively. To give
this property a default of 0.0, we also need to add 1.0 to the initial
value upon curve creation.

With the goal of clearly differentiating between arrays and single
elements, improving consistency across Blender, and using wording
that's easier to read and say, change variable names for Mesh edges
and polygons/faces.
Common renames are the following, with some extra prefixes, etc.
- `mpoly` -> `polys`
- `mpoly`/`mp`/`p` -> `poly`
- `medge` -> `edges`
- `med`/`ed`/`e` -> `edge`
`MLoop` variables aren't affected because they will be replaced
when they're split up into to arrays in #104424.
Applied for the motion tracking data data structures.
There are two advantages of doing so:
- More explicit and platform independent way of indicating that
something is legacy and is not to be accessed outside of the
versioning code.
- Simplifies conversion to C++ where having deprecated fields
triggers warning in implicitly defined assign operator.

As part of #95966, move the `ME_SEAM` flag on mesh edges
to a generic boolean attribute, called `.uv_seam`. This is the
last bit of extra information stored in mesh edges. After this
is committed we can switch to a different type for them and
have a 1/3 improvement in memory consumption.
It is also now possible to see that a mesh has no UV seams in
constant time, and like other similar refactors, interacting with
only the UV seams can be done with less memory.
The attribute name starts with a `.` to signify that the attribute,
like face sets, isn't meant to be used in arbitrary procedural
situations (with geometry nodes for example). That gives us more
freedom to change things in the future.

Add a hash for faster look-ups on collection->gobject,
This avoids a full list lookup for every object added via Python's
CollectionObject.link as well as linking via BKE_collection_object_add_*
functions.
While the speedup is non-linear, linking & unlinking 100k objects from
Python is about 50x faster. Although unlinking all objects in order
(a best-case for linked lists) is approximately the same speed.

There is no option to adjust the edge_width like there is in the preferences for vertex_size and face_dot_size.
I only added the option for 3DView and UV/Image Editor, and limited both to a max size of 5 pixel, since the edges do not look very nice with too high values.
In the UV Editor only, there are always black outlines on the edges, I could not find a way to reduce the increasing thickness of these black outlines.
The default edge_width of 1 pixel:
Here the edge_width with a falue of 3:
And here the visible increase of the dark border of the edges and their overlap (even at the maxed size of 5):
Lastly for the 3DView the max edge_width of 5 looks like this:

Pull Request #104523
This commit implements described in the #104573.
The goal is to fix the confusion of the submodule hashes change, which are not
ideal for any of the supported git-module configuration (they are either always
visible causing confusion, or silently staged and committed, also causing
confusion).
This commit replaces submodules with a checkout of addons and addons_contrib,
covered by the .gitignore, and locale and developer tools are moved to the
main repository.
This also changes the paths:
- /release/scripts are moved to the /scripts
- /source/tools are moved to the /tools
- /release/datafiles/locale is moved to /locale
This is done to avoid conflicts when using bisect, and also allow buildbot to
automatically "recover" wgen building older or newer branches/patches.
Running `make update` will initialize the local checkout to the changed
repository configuration.
Another aspect of the change is that the make update will support Github style
of remote organization (origin remote pointing to thy fork, upstream remote
pointing to the upstream blender/blender.git).

Texture clamping is by default off, but for VDM textures this leads
to several artifacts.
- Clamping is done when the image is sampled and when the brush strenght
is applied.
- VDM textures have negative values that are lost due to clamping
when clamping during sampling.
This patch fixes this by changing the default clamping of newly
created textures to not clamp anymore.
Textures are mostly being used by sculpt brushes, where clamping is also
implemented on brush level.

The Preferences for asset libraries are becoming more than a simple name
+ path. E.g. there is now an Import Method options, and we previously
also considered a Relative Paths option (which we may still want to
add). The previous UI, while consistent with the Auto Run Python Scripts
UI isn't well suited for less than trivial cases. Using UI lists makes
the UI more scalable and follows usual list UI patterns more. There is
also more space for the path button now.
Part of #104686.
The default import method for an asset library can now be determined in
the Preferences. The Asset Browser has a new "Follow Preferences" option
for the importing. The essentials asset library still only uses "Append
(Reuse Data)".
This is part of #104686, which aims at improving the import method
selection, especially for the introduction of the new essentials library
(which doesn't support certain import methods). Further changes are
coming to improve the UI, see #104686.

We (Dalai, Hans, Falk, Simon and me) decided that the curves edit mode
is useful enough to justify moving it out of experimental now. So far it
supports the following features:
* Various selection tools. The selections are synced with sculpt mode.
* Transform tools.
* Delete curves/points.
More functionality of the old curve edit mode will be ported over in
future releases.
This adds a new `Curve Falloff` popover to the comb brush tool settings.
The curve control allows changing the brush weight along the curve to
e.g. affect the tip more than the root. This is a relative way to get
something like stiffness for short hair.
This functionality could potentially be added to some other brushes,
but the comb brush is the most important one, so that is added first.
I did add the buttons add the buttons to choose a curve map preset.
However, I did not add the preset dropdown, because that just adds
some unnecessary complexity in the code now and is redundant.

This adds a new overlay for curves sculpt mode that displays the curves that the
user currently edits. Those may be different from the evaluated/original curves
when procedural deformations or child curves are used.
The overlay can clash with the evaluated curves when they are exactly on top of
each other. There is not much we can do about that currently. The user will have
to decide whether the overlay should be shown or not on a case-by-case basis.

This patch adds an "Essentials" asset library that is bundled with Blender.
Also see #103620. At build time, the `lib/assets/publish` folder is copied
to `datafiles/assets` in the build directory.
In the UI, the "Essentials" library can be accessed like other custom asset
libraries with the exception that assets from that library cannot be linked.
The immediate impact of this is that Blender now comes with some geometry
node groups for procedural hair grooming.
