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:
https://reuse.software/faq/
Only use the term len & maxlen when they represent the length & maximum
length of a string. Instead of the available bytes to use.
Also include the data they're referencing as a suffix, otherwise it's
not always clear what the length is in reference to.
The goal is to solve confusion of the "All rights reserved" for licensing
code under an open-source license.
The phrase "All rights reserved" comes from a historical convention that
required this phrase for the copyright protection to apply. This convention
is no longer relevant.
However, even though the phrase has no meaning in establishing the copyright
it has not lost meaning in terms of licensing.
This change makes it so code under the Blender Foundation copyright does
not use "all rights reserved". This is also how the GPL license itself
states how to apply it to the source code:
<one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
This program is free software ...
This change does not change copyright notice in cases when the copyright
is dual (BF and an author), or just an author of the code. It also does
mot change copyright which is inherited from NaN Holding BV as it needs
some further investigation about what is the proper way to handle it.
Currently strings are used for cases where a list of identifiers would
be useful to show.
Add support for string properties to reference a callback to populate
candidates to show when editing a string. The user isn't prevented from
typing in text not found in this list, it's just useful as a reference.
Support for expanding the following strings has been added:
- Operator, menu & panel identifiers in the keymap editor.
- WM operators that reference data-paths expand using the
Python-consoles auto-complete functionality.
- Names of keying sets for insert/delete keyframe operators.
Details:
- `bpy.props.StringProperty` takes an option `search` callback.
- A new string callback has been added, set via
`RNA_def_property_string_search_func` or
`RNA_def_property_string_search_func_runtime`.
- Addresses usability issue highlighted by T89560,
where setting keying set identifiers as strings isn't practical.
- Showing additional right-aligned text in the search results is
supported but disabled by default as the text is too cramped in most
string search popups where the feature would make sense. It could be
enabled as part of other layout tweaks.

Ref D14986
This reverts the commits 8d9d5da137,
59cd616534 and
98a04ed452.
The commits are causing issues with MSVC, see D14926. I'm working on a
different solution, but that will need some work.
The code to compare buttons from the previous to the current frame, to
see if they match (an thus should keep the same state) was quite
generic, and didn't allow much flexibility/customization. For some
cases this isn't enough, and a more specific comparison is needed. Say
if some buttons don't actually store comparable data themselves, only
via the button context. This was the case in D14653.
Currently, only Lightgroups that exist in the current view layer can be
selected from object or world properties.
The internal UI code already has support for search fields that accept
unknown input, so I just added that to the API and use it for lightgroups.
When a lightgroup is entered that does not exist in the current view layer
(e.g. because it's completely new, because the view layer was switched or
because it was deleted earlier), a new button next to it becomes active and
adds it to the view layer when pressed.
Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D14540
Moves all `interface_region*` files to C++ except for the tooptip region
which is slightly more complicated. Also move a few other files as well.
This helps to simplify and speed up code, especially through the use
of better C++ data structures. This change builds on all platforms on
the buildbot.
