Since these are operations rather than new nodes, they don't make
sense in the add menu. They are also available in the "Node" menu
in the editor's header and in the context menu.
This makes the asset shelf available as a standard, non-experimental
feature. Currently no script makes use of it, so it will still not be
available. However the pose library will be updated to use this for its
UI instead.
Initially the asset shelf was committed as experimental feature, even
though it seemed ready for non-experimental. After double checking with
some people (Dalai and Brecht) we decided to go ahead with this.
There are still some futher changes planned, see #107881.
Specifying the correct operator context (`INVOKE_REGION_CHANNELS` in
this case) is mandatory, otherwise looking up the shortcut in
`wm_keymap_item_find_props` will fetch the wrong region
(`RGN_TYPE_WINDOW` not `RGN_TYPE_CHANNELS`) and thus wont find the keymap
item in that region keymap.
This was already done for the other menus, not for the context menu
though.

This is in prevision of EEVEE panoramic projection support.
EEVEE-Next is planned to add support for these parameters.
Not having these parameters in Blender DNA will make Cycles
and EEVEE not share the same parameters and will be confusing
for the user.
We handle forward compatibility by still writing the parameters
as ID properties as previous cycles versions expect.
Since this change will break the API compatibility it is crucial
to make it for the 4.0 release.

On a user level this view transform provides much better handling of colors in
the over-exposed areas.
With this configuration the following display devices are available, including
AgX view transform for them:
* sRGB
* Display P3
* Rec.1886
* Rec.2020
NOTE: There is no Filmic view transform available for the newly added display
devices.
AgX also brings an implementation of False Colors view transform, which replaces
Filmic-based, and is available for all display devices.
The backward compatibility is preserved. The new files will default to AgX view
transform, which makes it non-forward compatible.
More technical details is available in the original PR #106355.
Please note that the PR has been split into more incremental changes when
was landing.

Fix some remaining consistency issues for selection shortcuts for both
left and right click select.
Based on design of #105298
Grease Pencil:
Instead of using `Alt Select` shortcuts for selecting whole strokes,
these are now following existing standards with `L` and `Shift L` from
select linked pick operations.
`Alt Select` keys are instead used for selecting individual components
in modes that use brushes just like [0].
Regular selection like `Select` and `Shift Select` are now always mapped
to ensure that all keymap configurations are able to select individual
components in every mode.
This does not cause conflicting behavior with brushes.
Lasso Select shortcuts on `Ctrl Alt` and `Shift Ctrl Alt` have been
removed. These were duplicates and are not needed.
Mesh Sculpt Mode:
Mesh sculpt mode uses correct lasso masking shortcuts in both right and
left click select. These are now the same as lasso selection shortcuts
in other modes.

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.

The changes in this keymap are much more involved.
If any shortcut isn't mentioned, that means it is unchanged.
General:
- All brush shortcuts have been removed for free custom mapping
- `S` & `U` are now consistently mapped for Brush size & strength

- Removed Lasso Mask/Select shortcuts (This keymap is mainly using the Tools instead. Easy to add back if needed.)
Mode Switching (Global change):
Easier mode switching access for any workflow.
- `123` = switch selection/mask modes for the **current mode**. If in object mode, it will first switch to edit mode (Previously this would always switch to edit mode)
- `4` = Mode switching pie menu (previously `4-7` for individual modes)
- `Tilde` = Transfer Mode (Previously not mapped. Useful for instant object switching while keeping the current mode)

- `Shift` `Alt` `LMB` = Set Selection
- `Shift` `Alt` `Ctrl` `LMB` = Toggle-Extend Selection
Brush Size vs Select Linked:
These were previously in direct conflict. Now they are both distinct and based on other DCC software.
- `[` = Decrease Brush Size
- `]` = Increase Brush Size

- `Alt` `A` = Auto-Masking Pie Menu (Mesh & GP Sculpt Mode)
- `Shift A` = Expand Mask (Mesh Sculpt Mode) / Grow Selection (Curve Sculpt Mode)
- `Shift` `Alt` `A` = Expand Mask by Normals (Mesh Sculpt Mode)
Face Sets & Visibility:
Previously missing shortcuts.
- `Shift` `W` = Face Set Expand
- `Shift` `Alt` `W` = Active Face Set Expand
- `Ctrl` `W` = Face Set Edit Pie Menu
- `Page Up` = Grow Active Face Set
- `Page Down` = Shrink Active Face Set
- `H` = Hide Active Face Set
- `Shift` `H` = Hide Inactive Face Sets / Show everything
- `Ctrl` `H` = Hide Masked Geometry
Transforming:
For Sculpt and Weight Painting modes. Previously missing
- `C` = Cursor Tool
- `W` = Move Tool
- `E` = Rotate Tool
- `R` = Scale Tool
- `T` = Transform Tool
- `Shift` `RMB` = Set Cursor / Set Transform Pivot in Sculpt Mode
Sculpting:
Consistent and easier to access shortcuts for remeshing and subdiv level .
- `Shift` `D` = Subdivision level Down (Previously on `Pg Down`)
- `D` = Subdivision level Up (Previously on `Pg Up`)
- `Shift` `Ctrl` `D` = Voxel Size / Dyntopo Size
- `Ctrl` `D` = Voxel Remesh / Dyntopo Flood Fill
Adding missing shortcuts
Painting:
Fixing various missing or inconsistent shortcuts.
- `Backspace` = Set Color/Weight
- `I` = Sample Color/Weight
- `Alt` `I` = Sample Vertex Group
- `Alt` `Ctrl` `I` = Vertex Group Lock Pie
- `X` = Swap Colors (Previously missing in Sculpt Mode)

- `Y` = Active Layer Menu
- `Shift` `Y` = Merge Layer Down
- `Alt` `Y` = Material Menu
- `Alt` `Backspace`/`Delete` = Delete Active Keyframe (Previously on `D` `Backspace`/`Delete`)
Other:
Adding missing shortcuts.
- `MMB` for panning in the User Interface (Highly requested)
- `Shift F` = Center View to Mouse (Replacing Frame Selected(All Regions) shortcut)
- `D` = Annotate

The `BPy_IDPropertyUIManager` takes different keywords for different
data types in its `update` methods.
Booleans and Strings only handle defaults and description while Floats
and Ints can handle additional stuff like min/max.
(see `idprop_ui_data_update_string` vs. e.g.
`idprop_ui_data_update_float`)
There was a different code path in `rna_idprop_ui_create` for bools
already (only passing a subset to `update`), now use this for string as
well since it matches.
Bug introduced in 8b9a3b94fc.
Probably good for LTS.

Add a High Dynamic Range option in the Color Management > Display panel.
This enables display of extended color ranges above 1.0 for the 3D
viewport, image editor and render previews.
This requires a monitor that can display HDR colors, and a view
transform designed for HDR output. The Standard view transform works,
but Filmic does not as it was designed to bring values into the 0..1
range for SDR displays.
This patch is limited to allowing the display to visualize extended
colors, but does not include future looking work to better integrate HDR
into the full workflow.
It is implemented by rendering to high bit-depth texture formats for
the user interface, and uncapping the color range in color management.

Support name-spaced add-ons, exposed via user configurable extension
repositories.
Directories for add-ons can be added at run-time and are name-spaced to
avoid name-collisions with Python modules or add-ons from other
repositories.
This is exposed as an experimental feature "Extension Repositories".
Details:
- A `bUserExtensionRepo` type which represents a repository which is
listed in the add-ons repository.
- `JunctionModuleHandle` class to manage a package with sub-modules
which can point to arbitrary locations.
- `bpy.app.handlers._extension_repos_update_{pre/post}` internal
callbacks run before/after changes to extension repositories,
callbacks are used to sync the changes to the Python package that
exposes these to add-ons.
- The size of an add-on name has been increased so a user-defined package
prefix can be included without enforcing shorter add-on names.
- Functionality relating to package management has been left out of this
change and will be developed separately.
Further work:
- While a repository can be renamed, enabled add-ons aren't renamed.
Eventually we might want to support this although we could also
disallow renaming repositories with add-ons enabled as the name isn't
all that significant.
- Removing a repository should remove all the add-ons located in this
repository.
- Sub-module names are currently restricted to `[A-Za-z]+[A-Za-z0-9_]*`
we might want to relax this to allow unicode characters (we might
still want to disallow `-` or any characters that would prevent
attribute access in code).

First implementation of node previews in the shader node editor. Using
the same user interface as compositor node previews, most shader nodes
can now be previewed (except group in/output and material output).
This is currently still an experimental feature, as polishing of the
user experience and performance improvements are planned. These will
be easier to do as incremental changes on this implementation.
See #110353 for details on the work that remains to be done and known
limitations.
Implementation notes:
We take advantage of the `RenderResult` available as `ImBuf` images to
store a `Render` for every viewed nested node tree present in a
`SpaceNode`. The computation is initiated at the moment of drawing nodes
overlays.
One render is started for the current nodetree, having a `ViewLayer`
associated with each previewed node. We separate the previewed nodes in
two categories: the shader ones and the non-shader ones.
- For non-shader nodes, we use AOVs which highly speed up the rendering
process by rendering every non-shader nodes at the same time. They are
rendered in the first `ViewLayer`.
- For shader nodes, we render them each in a different `ViewLayer`, by
rerouting the node to the output of the material in the preview scene.
The preview scene takes the same aspect as the Material preview scene,
and the same preview object is used.
At the moment of drawing the node overlay, we take the `Render` of the
viewed node tree and extract the `ImBuf` of the wanted viewlayer/pass
for each previewed node.

This patch includes set of smaller changes to address visual
inconsistencies and bugs:
- Strip previews are drawn under title bar
- All strip previews now disappear when there isn't enough space for
drawing
- Like the sound strip, the color strip expands to fill the whole strip
when there is little vertical space, "taking over" the strip title
Color is more important visual indicator than the name of the strip
- Disabling strip title no longer disables strip handle frame previews
- All strip previews are now be affected by the "Show overlays" toggle
- Turning off strip text overlay no longer makes the color strip
preview disappear
This feature is going to be replaced with a more thorough refactoring
of the node group interface UI, which has actual node drawing support
and a new API for integration of panels into nodes.

- **Set Selection** Sets the edit/sculpt selection, on the point,
face, or curve domains
- **3D Cursor** Gives the location and rotation of the 3D cursor,
in the local space of the modified object.
- **Face Set** The face set value from mesh sculpt mode,
and whether the attribute exists.
- **Set Face Set** Set sculpt face set values.
In the add menu and search, the nodes are only visible in the

This is currently meant mainly for testing, when "Developer Extras" is
enabled. The goal is to make interactive Hydra export and USD file export
identical. We are not there yet, and having the ability to compare both
in the viewport and automated tests should help us get and stay there.
Ref #110765
Hydra is a rendering architecture part of USD, designed to abstract the
host application from the renderer. A renderer implementing a Hydra
render delegate can run in any host application supporting Hydra, which
now includes Blender.
For external renderers this means less code to be written, and improved
performance due to a using a C++ API instead of a Python API.
Add-ons need to subclass bpy.types.HydraRenderEngine. See the example in
the Python API docs for details.
An add-on for Hydra Storm will be included as well. This is USD's
rasterizing renderer, used in other applications like usdview. For users
it can provide a preview of USD file export, and for developers it
serves a reference.
There are still limitations and missing features, especially around
materials. The remaining to do items are tracked in #110765.
This feature was contributed by AMD.

Adds a new "Ui Asset Shelf" template to the script editor, demonstrating
how scripts can register own asset shelves. The asset shelf is designed
as a new standard UI element that add-ons, application templates and the
like can use, so this is useful. It's also useful as a quick way to test
and customize the asset shelf.
The script is only available in the UI if the "Asset Shelf" experimental
feature is enabled in the Preferences.
With the "Extended Asset Browser" and "Asset Shelf" experimental
features enabled, an asset shelf will now be displayed in sculpt mode.
This is useful for testing and development for the brush assets project,
see #101895.
Approved as part of #104831, then split off as separate commit.
The previous commit introduced all the basic bits and pieces necessary
to support asset shelves as experimental feature, but didn't actually
add support for any specific editor. With this commit asset shelves can
be registered in 3D Views, which should soon be used by the Pose Library
add-on to replace its previous UI in the sidebar (see
blender/blender-addons#104546). Note that until then, there will still be no
actual asset shelf to display.
Also adds:
- Toggle to hide/unhide the asset shelf under "View" -> "Asset Shelf"
- 3D View theme settings for the asset shelf regions.
None of the changes are visible if the experimental option for the asset
shelf is not enabled.
Approved as part of #104831, then split off as separate commit.

No user visible changes expected, except of new experimental feature
option.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This introduces asset shelves as a new standard UI element for accessing
assets. Based on the current context (like the active mode and/or tool), they
can provide assets for specific workflows/tasks. As such they are more limited
in functionality than the asset browser, but a lot more efficient for certain
tasks.
The asset shelf is developed as part of the brush assets project (see #101895),
but is also meant to replace the current pose library UI.
Support for asset shelves can quite easily be added to different editor types,
the following commit will add support for the 3D View. If an editor type
supports asset shelves, add-ons can chose to register an asset shelf type for
an editor with just a few lines of Python.
It should be possible to entirely remove `UILayout.asset_view_template()` once
asset shelves are non-experimental.
Some changes are to be expected still, see #107881.

"Tool" is a more friendly word with mostly the same meaning within

Implement capture point bias. This offsets the capture
points to reduce the amount bad capture locations (i.e.:
inside objects, near walls etc...).
Two new parameters are added:
- Capture Surface Bias: Ensure a minimum distance between
capture points and surrounding geometry. This is expressed as the
relative distance between two capture point. Requires re-bake
to take effect.
- Capture Escape Bias: Moves capture points enclosed inside
objects above the nearest surface. This bias defines how far a
capture point can be moved for escaping the object. This is
expressed as the relative distance between two capture point.
Requires re-bake to take effect.
This is called virtual offset in the reference material.
A quick prepass runs before the baking to offset the samples away
from any surface that could potentially make bad samples.
In order to speedup the process, we create cluster list of surfels
near each irradiance grid point. This allow access to neighboring
surfels that can contribute to the virtual offset which should
never be more than half a cell wide.

Implement invalid sample points filling. Improves invalid regions
but introduce light leak.
Grid sample points are considered invalid if they have a ratio of
front-face ray hit under the given threshold. This is a post-processing
pass on the baked lighting that fills dark regions produced by
invalid sample location (e.g.: inside walls) with valid neighbor
samples data.
Two new parameters are added:
- Dilation Threshold: Validity threshold under which grid samples are
considered invalid. Invalid samples will gather valid lighting data
from valid neighbors inside the dilation radius.
- Dilation Radius: Radius of the dilation process. Expressed in grid
sample distance.
The validity of each point is progressively refined just like the
lighting data during the baking process.
The dilation process is implemented as a post-processing pass during
the loading of the grid data into the irradiance atlas. This allows
live tweaking the dilation parameters.
