Original message:
Add support for dynamic NDOF orbit center calculation.
- When "Auto" NDOF preference is enabled:
All visible objects in the viewport are used to calculate a
bounding box center, if the bounds are outside the view or the center
is behind the viewport, use a Z-Buffer test to calculate the depth in
the middle of the region.
- When "Use Selected Items" NDOF preferences is enabled,
calculating the bounds from the selection.
- An option to show the orbit center as a guide has also been added.

Back-ported as this change as this only missed the 4.4 branch by hours
and is considered an important feature for 4.4 by 3dconnexion.
This includes the following commits from main:

The Status Bar often shows context menu items as the name of that menu,
which is confusing in this context. For example in Object mode it shows
"Object" as the right-click operation. In Grease Pencil it shows this
as "Draw" even though you don't draw with it. In "Sculpt" mode you see
two items as "Sculpt", one on left click and the other on right click.
This PR makes all these show as "Options" instead. This seems like a
very succinct description of what is available on right-click.

Remove the `ActionLayer.mix_mode` and `ActionLayer.influence` properties
from RNA. The animation evaluation already takes these into account, but
there is no guarantee that the mixing that is currently implemented is
going to be mathematically identical to the eventual implementation. So
better to not expose the properties quite yet.

The derivatives of the normal were simply not computed.
The offsetted normals are computed by perturbating the barycentric
coordinates. At triangle boundaries, the normals are extrapolated,
so discontinuities might be visible.
Currently only supported on triangles.

The stroke index was wrong when a influence filter is active in the
modifier, this would lead to crashes. Now corrected this by only
iterating duplicated strokes in front of the curves geometry.

Don't template size for matrix is_negative. These are causing random
build failures on the Windows buildbot.
Note that these already have the assumption of 3D coordinates baked
in. For 2D or 4D coordinates the implementation would have to be
different. So templating these for arbitrary dimensions does not
make much sense.

User may think of the `radius` vector value as RGB color, however it's
meant to be the depth of scattering for R/G/B channels. Now clarified in
the desctiption.

It already doesn't work in a very fairly simple case when the Grease Pencil
geometry is transformed. This simple case used to work before we changed
the Transform Geometry node to transform layers instead of points.

The issue was that the topology of the drawing changes when the bezier
curves get resampled to poly curves in the armature modifier.
This means that the crazyspace code fails to find deformed positions
with the same length as the original positions.
The fix does multiple things:
* First, we make sure that we create an `GeometryComponentEditData` in
weight paint mode.
* When the armature modifier runs, we remember the current positions in
this component.
* Then, we store the curve offsets and weights _before_ converting the
bezier curves.
* Finally we deform the positions stored in the edit hint component
(which have the same length as the original positions).
Since the resampling just adds new points, there might be a way to
avoid running the armature deformation a second time on the edit
hints, but I'll leave that for another day as a performance improvement.
In any case, this is only done when we actually need the deformation
(e.g. in weight paint mode when we paint the weights).

Yet another remaining case of non-trivial data created with C-style
allocation.
While 4.4 and previous did not exhibit the crash, the invalid code
responsible for this crash is present here as well, and it would be
dangerous not to fix it.
As indicated by pablovazquez , operators that open a pop up should end with `...`.
I decided to change the operator name instead of doing it in python with `text=`
This seemed more reasonable to me because it can't be forgotten when adding this operator
somewhere else, but I am not sure if this is the right way to do it.

Blender crashes when appending a Bloom node. This is because the scene
is needed to infer the render size while versioning, and the scene
doesn't exist while appending, so we need to fallback to a default
render size in those cases.
Most event icons shown on the status bar are made up of an icon with
text inside of it. The icon sizing used 2D zoom aspect value, but the
text does not. I had not noticed any use of these outside of Status Bar
so this wasn't tested. Using aspect requires much more precise
measurement and placement of the text using calculated margin values.

This was caused by the input matrix not being used.
Instead EEVEE was trying to derive the projection matrix
again based on the actual viewport state. But this state
was not reflecting the input matrix.
To fix this, we remove any camera setup from the rv3d during
the offscreen drawing and set the lens param to 0.
This ensure EEVEE loads the input projection matrix.
Second part to fix#130007, after 50f7666785.
When saving a new file with the current file asset library loaded, the
library wasn't converted properly to an on-disk library. While the
library was loaded again as on-disk library, the previous runtime
version of it wasn't cleared, so catalog definitions could be duplicated
across available libraries.
Make sure the runtime only library is destructed properly, and the UI
refreshed.
There seem to be more issues with converting the runtime current file library to
a on-disk current file library, but these can be addressed after the crashes and
hangs are fixed, see report.

If "Playback Frame Rate" is enabled (Preferences / ViewPort / Display)
and showing the "Text Info" viewport overlay, then "fps" is shown in
the place of the View Name while the animation is played. Every time
this starts there is a jiggle where the Object Info line is drawn at
the first line instead. This is because the FPS can early exit and not
update the vertical line position. This PR fixes that.

On Windows 11 use the new WM Window Decoration Styles API, introduced
in ce42d92503. This will match the OS Title bar color to that of the
main window top bar and also do similar color matching with content
in separate windows like Preferences. Note that this will not have any
effect on versions of Windows prior to 11.

Previous approach was using non-evaluated meshes to find the closest edge from a face index retrieved from the selection buffer.
This can fail though if the mesh is deformed or even altered to not have the same indices anymore (e.g. generating/masking modifiers).
In order to make this work, added `ED_mesh_pick_edge` which switches the selection context to edges directly
and picks from those. No need to map anything back and forth between original and evaluated, the selection buffer contains the original indices already.
Further logic (following the face loop) is untouched (and happens on the original geometry which is fine)
Should go into 4.2 LTS as well

The changes from 29356e2bf7
fixed a readability issue with loose wire not being as prominent as
regular surface wireframe.
But also added a regression where the object color wireframe mode
made the object color imperceivable when the object is selected.
This commit fixes the issue by setting the facing factor to 0.5 for
loose wires. This way, both the theme color and object color wireframe
more are blended enough to be distinguishable and still retain the
object color hint.
The issue was that the code did not handle input sockets that are fields
implicitly correctly. It just retrieved a single from them, instead of
treating them as having an unknown value.
Use sub-pixel differentials for bump mapping helps with reducing
artifacts when objects are moving or when textures have high frequency
details.
Currently we scale it by 0.1 because it seems to work good in practice,
we can adjust the value in the future if it turns out to be impractical.

- Rename dx/dy -> dfdx/dfdy to match the actual computed quantity
- Add template functions to compute dfdx/dfdy on triangles for sharing
among different data types
- Add documentation to some functions
- Some code shuffling that makes it easier to scale dfdx/dfdy in the
future
- Some other trivial changes
With the transition from 4.4 Alpha to 4.4 Beta and 4.5 Alpha, a few
small changes could be made to the "list of bug fixes per release" tool
to make it more reliable:
- 4.5 is added to the list so it can detect reports made from
Blender 4.5.
- Update the example usage to of the script to be the exact arguments
triagers should use for 4.4 Beta and 4.5 Alpha so triagers just need to
copy and paste the arguments to the command line.
With 4.4 Beta and 4.5 Alpha, small updates to the "list of bug fixes
per release" tool could be made to make the script.
Partial fix for #130007.
The catalog tree mutex would be set in `catalog_tree()` and
`invalidate_catalog_tree()`. The former could end up adding catalogs and thus
calling `invalidate_catalog_tree()`, which would attempt to set a mutex that the
caller set already. This seems like a good use-case for `std::recursive_mutex`.
would make sure there's a catalog for each catalog path by calling
`create_missing_catalogs()`
Logic to ensure finish events were sent wasn't working properly
because processing the events could run before the SPNAV API had
filled the event queue.
Resolve by adding a delay of 100ms, before generating a "finish" event.
For the user this caused the NDOF Guide to flicker while navigating.
The compositor crashes when the user goes into a muted group that has a
viewer node while the backdrop is enabled. The compositor should not
schedule viewer nodes inside muted contexts, so we need to add checks to
prevent this.

`compositor_is_in_use` sets `used_by_compositor` true when GPU device is
selected. This draws render pass warning even when viewport
compositor is disabled. Remove the condition to fix the unintentional
warning. Following function is just used in node drawing, seems safe to
remove then.

This PR does two things:
- tidy up the popup menu we get for parenting (removing non-funtional
options)
- enable "With Empty Groups" for lattices (no reason why this should not
work)
What this PR does not touch:
- the poll function for parenting (since this acts on selected objects,
checking all of them can be a costly operation which should not be part
of a poll function)

- Add `type[]` for the `tool_cls` as it's expecting tool type class,
not the instance (similar to #132420)
- Add `set[str]` to `after` type as it's seems to be the way it's used
the most widely, e.g. in "UI Tool Simple" example that comes with Blender:
`bpy.utils.register_tool(MyTool, after={"builtin.scale_cage"}, separator=True, group=True)`
