when tracing shadow ray through a volume and no hit is registered, we
consider the whole ray segment inside the volume.
However, no hit registered could also happen when the volume is
invisible to shadow ray. We should explicitly check this case and skip
rendering the volume segment instead.

This adds initial support for showing the difference between old and new coverage
data. The difference is only shown in index.html currently. This is mainly useful
when adding new tests right now, to see the impact.
To use this, rename the `coverage/analysis` folder in the build directory to
`reference`. It will automatically be used by the report script if that reference
folder exists.
This only works with GCC and has only been tested on Linux. The main goal is to
automatically generate the code coverage reports on the buildbot and to publish
them. With some luck, this motivates people to increase test coverage in their
respective areas. Nevertheless, it should be easy to generate the reports
locally too (at least on supported software stacks).
Usage:
1. Create a **debug** build using **GCC** with **WITH_COMPILER_CODE_COVERAGE**
enabled.
2. Run tests. This automatically generates `.gcda` files in the build directory.
3. Run `make/ninja coverage-report` in the build directory.
If everything is successful, this will open a browser with the final report
which is stored in `build-dir/coverage/report/`. For a bit more control one can
also run `coverage.py` script directly. This allows passing in the
`--no-browser` option which may be benefitial when running it on the buildbot.
Running `make/ninja coverage-reset` deletes all `.gcda` files which resets the
line execution counts.
The final report has a main entry point (`index.html`) and a separate `.html`
file for every source code file that coverage data was available for. This also
contains some code that is not in Blender's git repository. We could filter
those out, but it also seems interesting (to me anyway), so I just kept it in.
Doing the analysis and writing the report takes ~1 min. The slow part is running
all tests in a debug build which takes ~12 min for me. Since the coverage data
is fairly large and the report also includes the entire source code, file
compression is used in two places:
* The intermediate analysis results for each file are stored in compressed zip
files. This data is still independent from the report html and could be used
to build other tools on top of. I could imagine storing the analysis data for
each day for example to gather greater insights into how coverage changes over
time in different parts of the code.
* The analysis data and source code is compressed and base64 encoded embedded
into the `.html` files. This makes them much smaller than embedding the data
without compression (5-10x).

This extends the `GreasePencilDrawing` rna type using python.
The goal is to add an API that allows developers to transition to
the new grease pencil API a bit more smoothly.
Adds the following endpoints to the `GreasePencilDrawing`:
* `drawing.strokes`: Returns a list/slice of `GreasePencilStroke`s in the drawing.
Adds a python class `GreasePencilStroke`:
* `stroke.points`: Returns a list/slice of `GreasePencilStrokePoint`s.
* Getters/Setters of attributes for this stroke:
* `stroke.cyclic`
* `stroke.material_index`
* `stroke.select`
* `stroke.softness` (used to be `hardness`)
* `stroke.start_cap`
* `stroke.end_cap`
* `stroke.curve_type`: The type of curve: `POLY`,`BEZIER`,`CATMULL_ROM`,`NURBS`.
* `stroke.aspect_ratio`
* `stroke.fill_opacity`
* `stroke.fill_color`
* `stroke.time_start`
* High-level functions:
* `stroke.add_points(count)`: Adds `count` points at the end of the stroke.
* `stroke.remove_points(count)`: Removes `count` points from the end of the stroke. Note that this will not remove the stroke if the count is greater than the number of points in the stroke. A stroke has at least 1 point. Removing strokes can be done from the drawing.
Adds a python class `GreasePencilStrokePoint`:
* Getters/Setters of attributes for this point:
* `position`
* `radius`
* `opacity`
* `select`
* `vertex_color`
* `rotation`
* `delta_time`
Note that `GreasePencilStroke` and `GreasePencilStrokePoint` are not stored in the file and don't have an RNA API. This means that they are not compatible with e.g. `layout.prop`.
This API should not be used for performance critical code. It's likely
even slower than the python API from 4.2.
There will be migration documentation for addon developers here:

This commit adds a new cmake variable `WITH_CYCLES_TEST_OSL`
that runs every Cycles test a second time with OSL enabled.
At the moment only CPU OSL is enabled. There are plans to enable
OptiX OSL in the future when stability issues with OptiX OSL
have been resolved.
Some render tests have been blocked from running until we can figure
out a fix. The most notiable being all the Pricincipled BSDF tests
as some of them are failing due to noise differences.

While adding test coverage for mesh subdivision surface scenarios, a few
problems were noticed with vertex crease support.
This PR fixes:
- Used incorrect `crease_sharpnesses` instead of `corner_sharpnesses`
- Used incorrect value for an "infinitely sharp" vertex crease
- Unnecessarily wrote out Blender's `crease_vert` attribute as a primvar
Tests are added which validate everything we support.

The mesh velocity data was not using the UsdUtilsSparseValueWriter and
was writing out data for all frames even if the velocity didn't change.
Adds test coverage for this scenario as well as other situations where a
MeshSequenceCache (MSC) would be required:
- Ensures that when positions vary a MSC is added
- Ensures that when velocities vary a MSC is added (see blender/blender@c862d40e09)
- Ensures that when attributes vary a MSC is added (see blender/blender@3c394d39f2)

This changes the behavior when deleting the last key of an FCurve on layered actions.
Previously the FCurve would continue to exist, whereas now it is deleted.
This makes it consistent with legacy actions.
I modified the "Clear Keyframes" operator in this PR as well to make it work with layered actions.

The Translate node leaves empty pixels at the boundary of the image.
This caused by incorrect clipping when sampling the pixels. To fix this,
we adjust COM_MemoryBuffer::read to read using Extend or Repeat using
BLI interpolation, then multiply that by a clipping rectangle. The
read_elem_sampled function is now defined in terms of the read method.
This also coincidentally fixes off by half a pixel error in nearest
neighbour interpolation.
As well as takes text color transparency into account. That is, text
"shadow" now virtually casts shadow of however the text itself + outline
looks like. The result is blurred, and extra shadow color tint and
transparency is applied.
Performance testing: seems to be slightly faster than before in my tests.
Probably because the shadow "image" that is now blurred only contains
one byte per pixel (the transparency), instead of full uchar4 per pixel
(with only the "transparency" being blurred).
I have extended sequencer render tests to better cover various text
outline/shadow/box combinations.

Add an Action Slot selector to the Action editor's header, next to the
Action selector. The selector shows all slots in the action that are
suitable for animating objects (as the Action editor itself is limited
to showing the Action of the active object).
This also considerably simplifies the 'Animation Debug' panel, as some
debugging code has been removed, as well as the display of any animation
layers. The latter can be reintroduced (if necessary) when multi-layer
animation support is added. Most importantly, it removes the
WindowManager property that was used as a hack to assign layered Actions
to objects.
API change: the RNA property `AnimData.slot` is now a pointer property
that reflects the actual slot (it used to be an enum property).
Some small changes to the UI code were necessary to make the selector
show the slot's display name (and not their internal name).

The GPU compositor transforms are off by half a pixel in some cases.
That's because the realization shader was to perform transforms, and it
includes logic to move images by half a pixel if the domain and image
had different even/odd sizes. To fix this, we only move by half a pixel
if we are doing realization, while transforms are left as is.
This is only visible when text color has transparency or is fully
transparent. Desired behavior is that the outline would only be
"outside" the actual text.

These functions can now be called on layered Actions:
- `action.fcurves.new(data_path, array_index)`
- `action.fcurves.find(data_path, array_index)`
- `action.fcurves.remove(fcurve)`
- `action.fcurves.clear()`
These will operate on the first keyframe strip (searching layers bottom
to top), and then its channelbag for the first slot.
If necessary, `fcurves.new()` will create the layer, keyframe strip,
channelbag, and slot.
This backward compatibility layer only kicks in if either of these is
true:
- The Action is empty AND the experimental flag is enabled, or
- The Action already has a layer or a slot (i.e. is already considered
'layered').
If none of these conditions hold, `action.fcurves` just gives access to
the legacy data.

The Rotate node was off by 0.5 pixels because pixels were not evaluated
at their center. Furthermore, the center of rotation was also off by
half a pixel. To fix this, we ensure rotation happen around the exact
center as well as rotate the pixels at their center.
The compositor translate node produces artifacts when its fractional
part is 0.5. That's because GPUs do round-to-even for nearest neighbour
sampling in case samples were at pixel boundaries.
To fix this, we bias translations by a small value to break the
rounding and ensure predictable rounding direction.
Add F-Curve management functions on ChannelBags
(`channelbag.fcurves.xxx`) that are very similar to the legacy Action
functions `Action.fcurves.xxx`.
```python
channelbag = strip.channelbags.new(slot)
fcurve = channelbag.fcurves.new("rotation_quaternion", index=1)
assert channelbag.fcurves[0] == fcurve
channelbag.fcurves.remove(fcurve)
channelbag.fcurves.clear()
```

This commit changes the keying code to deselect keyframes when inserting new keys.
This has been discussed in the Animation & Rigging module meeting [1].
There is also an RCS post about that [2].
Doing this brings key creation in line with object creation,
where only the newly created object is selected.
There has been a previous attempt [3] to do a similar thing.
### Changes
When inserting keys by pressing `I` in the viewport or choosing a keying set,
all keys of the `Action` get deselected before inserting new keys.
New keys are selected by default.
Python RNA functions are **NOT** affected, meaning addons using
those functions will not deselect any keys by default.
The developer has to choose to do so.
To make that easier, there is a new RNA function on the action
`deselect_keys`

Add a option to ignore Cycles render test black list, controlled via
BLENDER_TEST_IGNORE_BLOCKLIST environment variable.
Useful for testing to see if anything is seriously broken in a test
that's black listed. (E.g. See if some particle rendering tests are
seriously broken on the GPU)
It would be recommened that this be used to test GPU compiler updates.
Or the enablement of certain features like custom curve rendering on

Caused by a060e96103
This change restores the old behavior of pass name detection from
channel name prior to the offending commit.
The fix includes regression test based on the files from related
reports, to help catching possible issues in the future.
Being so close to the release this commit restored behavior prior
to the previous fix. Potentially this makes some files to detect
wrong pass name for some specific files, although it is not really
clear if such files exists in the wild.
