It was possible to access a mutable drawing from a const GreasePencil
object. This sort of mistake is possible because DNA requires using raw
pointers.
In #112326 the socket visibility functions were updated to take the
open/closed state of panels into account for visibility of the socket
icon. However, in "hidden" (collapsed) nodes the panels should be
ignored entirely, drawing all sockets on the root level. This requires
looking at the node flags to determine socket icon visibility, so a
simple method of `bNodeSocket` is not sufficient.
This patch moves the more complex visibility queries for sockets into
`bNode`, where both node and socket flags can be accessed. These should
be used for actual visibility rather than the plain flag accessors on
`bNodeSocket`.
Renamed `is_visible_or_panel_closed` back to just `is_visible`, the
other `is_visible` variant is now integrated in `bNode::is_socket_drawn`.

Add bone collections to the outliner, underneath the Armature.
This basically follows the same approach as the bone groups (which were
removed from the outliner in the previous commit).
Bone groups have been replaced by bone collections. The data in DNA is
there just for versioning & forward compatibility, so the UI elements are
being removed from Blender 4.0.
Instead of storing the active bone collection as `BoneCollection*`, store
its name in DNA. This makes it impossible to point to non-owned bone
collections, makes it easier to handle copy-on-write copies, and should
make it possible to use library overrides on it.
This now also introduces a new requirement that bone collections always
have a name. If the name is set to the empty string, the default name
("Bones") will be used instead.
The `active_collection` pointer is still there for ease of access, but
it's been moved to the armature's `runtime` property.
The library overrides part isn't working yet, though.
#112019 included open/closed state of the parent panel in socket
visibility calculation. This prevents dragging links, but also disables
other features that should still work, such as drawing links.
A narrower condition is needed for icon visibility vs. general socket
visibility. The cases which use the new `is_icon_visible` condition:
- Drawing socket selection outlines (same as unselected sockets)
- Drawing multi-input sockets (same as unselected sockets)
- `node_find_indicated_socket`, used by a wide range of mouse click
operators, including the link-drag operator that was cause for
#112019.
Cases using the original `is_visible` (true even if parent panel is
collapsed):
- `nodeLinkIsHidden` draws links only when at least one socket is
visible.
- `node_update_basis`, sockets still added to layout even if icon isn't
rendered.
- `node_update_hidden`, panels are ignored for "hidden" nodes, all
sockets are rendered.
- `NODE_OT_link_make` operator for finding "best" sockets to connect.
- `node_link_viewer` finding sockets to connect to a viewer node.
- `get_main_socket` used for insert-on-links (find sockets to splice
into) and some shader previews
- `node_gather_link_searches`, suggestions for adding a new node at the
end of a link.

Calling an API function after the node panels patch does not internally
tag the node tree with `NTREE_CHANGED_INTERFACE` any more, because the
node tree is not directly accessible from `bNodeTreeInterface`. Before
node panels the API functions for interfaces could tag the tree directly
for later update consideration, which now requires explicit tagging
calls.
The fix is to add a flag and mutex directly to `bNodeTreeInterface`, so
API methods can tag after updates. This mostly copies runtime data
concepts from `bNodeTree`. The `ensure_interface_cache` method is
equivalent to `ensure_topology_cache` and should be called before
accessing `interface_inputs` and similar cache data.

The previous limit of 63 bytes for the panel name was an issue for
languages where characters use multiple bytes. The UI would show panel
names truncated that had reasonably long/short names.
It's easy to support dynamically sized strings here, so do that instead
of using fixed size buffers.
Fixes#111927.

Users expect to be able to scale the uppermost edge of the asset shelf,
which actually belongs to the asset shelf header region only. So it
would only work to hide/unhide this. They expect this because they seem
like one region, but they are actually implemented as two (to have
separate layout and scrolling mostly).
This adds a region flag so that scaling a region can actually affect the
previous one instead. Something similar is already used for split
regions.
Part of #107881.
#111972 made sure copied sockets have unique identifiers, but it didn't
cover the case of copying a panel and its children.
- Added an optional `uid_gen` argument to item copy functions which
generates new unique identifiers for copied items. If not specified
the items will retain the original identifiers (e.g. when copying an
entire node tree).
- Removed the `copy_items` panel function from the API. Only used
internally and requires a uid generator now.

When adding modifiers from assets in the new modifier menu, switching
the node group the modifier uses afterwards will not be common. The goal
is to replace the builtin modifier directly. In that case it's easier to
just add a new modifier. The "Empty Modifier" item makes it easy to
choose an arbitrary node group anyway.
Combined with hiding the two sub-panels when they are unnecessary,
many node-modifiers will look just as clean as their builtin counterparts.
The option to show the data-block selector is added to the menu
in the node header so it's still accessible though.

Implements part of #111538.
Change the modifier add button to create a menu with submenus.
Extend the submenus dynamically with geometry node group assets.
This makes it much simpler to share and use custom modifiers.
Node groups get a new "Is Modifier" property, which is controllable
in a popover in the node editor header when the group is an asset.
The built in modifier can be rearranged in different categories in
a next step. For now the existing organization is used, except for
the geometry nodes modifier, which is called "Empty Modifier" and
put in the root menu.
The changes in !110855 and !110828 will be important to improve
interaction speed with the new UI. Those are planned for 4.0 as well.

Items in the node group interface need to have unique identifiers.
Copying an item (socket or panel) was not doing this, so the node groups
end up having sockets with the same identifier. Linking sockets was
broken because copies could not be distinguished.

Moving the snapping code for the
* Graph Editor
* Action Editor
* and NLA editor
into the common system that lives on the scene.
This includes the Magnet icon for turning
snapping on and off.
The old settings translate to the new in the following way:
* `Frame Step` -> `Frame`
* `Second Step` -> `Second`
* `Nearest Frame` -> `Frame` + `Absolute Time Snap`
* `Nearest Second` -> `Second` + `Absolute Time Snap`
* `Nearest Marker` -> `Nearest Marker`
Since this moves the location of the snapping settings
from the editor to the scene, it changes the behavior.
Previously each editor could have different snapping
settings, where now they are all synced.

`extern "C"` did not actually have an effect here since it only impacts
name mangling of functions, not structs (or other class types). Now this
can get in the way when we add C++ blocks with functions , e.g.
templates are not allowed in code with C-linkage.
Most of these were added in ad4b7741db, even though it was known that
this doesn't have any impact. Reason was because developers thought they
would have to add that to all direct and indirect includes to be able to
use a header in C++ (a common misconception). Now with most files
compiled in C++, it's obvious that this isn't the case.

Library overrides crashed with on trying to access the interface root
panel. The root panel should not be exposed through RNA, but also
accessing its position property should be allowed.
Several fixes here:
- Fix position property getter when the item has no parent panel
(i.e. the root panel).
- Avoid infinite loops in the greedy override comparison: exclude the
loopback parent property.
- Don't return the root panel via the parent property in the first
place, just return nullptr.
Second attempt at fix, first one in #111755 broke the
bl_node_group_interface test due to incorrect handling of the nullptr
parent case (reverted by 68440742)

Add three cached topology maps to `Mesh`, to avoid computations when
mesh data isn't changed. Choosing the right maps to cache is a bit
arbitrary, but generally we have to start somewhere. The limiting
factor is memory usage (all the new caches combined have a
comparable footprint to a UV map).
For now, the caches added are:
- Vertex to face corner
- Vertex to face
- Face corner to face
These caches are used in quite a few places already;
- Face corner normal calculation
- UV value merging
- Setting sharp edges from face angles
- Data transfer modifier
- Voxel remesh attribute remapping
- Sculpt mode painting
- Sculpt mode normal calculation
- Vertex paint mode
- Split edges geometry node
- Mesh topology geometry nodes
Caching topology maps means they don't have to be rebuilt every time
they're used. Meshes copied but without topology changes can share
the cache, further reducing re-computations. For example, FPS with a
large mesh using the "Corners of Vertex" node went from 1.8 to 2.3.
Entering sculpt mode is slightly faster too.
There is some obvious work for future commits:
- Use caches in attribute domain interpolation
- More multithreading of second phase of map building
- Update/build caches eagerly in some geometry nodes

The sound equalizer is using the Audaspace FFT Convolver.
The blender part creates an array of descriptions of power per "band"
and orders the creation of Equalizer (ISound) in the Audaspace.
Modifier can be created on sound strips. It lets you define
amplification or attenuation over frequency range from 30Hz to 20 kHz.
The power is limited to -30 db - 30 db. This is done using curve
mapping widget.

Previously we'd just allocate extra space for additional data for the
deferred loading, and then do pointer arithmetic to access that data.
This is cryptic and not type safe.
Instead, use an internal type deriving from `PreviewImage`, and manage
that internally. This ensures type safety, while keeping this as
implementation detail (not visible outside of the preview image API) and
keeping internals easy to understand.
Some code did shallow copies of preview images, making ownership
unclear. That made things a bit tricky, but I've made support for
shallow copies explicit now and noted this in comments.

Switch to new node group interfaces and deprecate old DNA and API.
This completes support for panels in node drawing and in node group
interface declarations in particular.
The new node group interface DNA and RNA code has been added in parts
1 and 2 (#110885, #110952) but has not be enabled yet. This commit
completes the integration by
* enabling the new RNA API
* using the new API in UI
* read/write new interfaces from blend files
* add versioning for backward compatibility
* add forward-compatible writing code to reconstruct old interfaces
All places accessing node group interface declarations should now be
using the new API. A runtime cache has been added that allows simple
linear access to socket inputs and outputs even when a panel hierarchy
is used.
Old DNA has been deprecated and should only be accessed for versioning
(inputs/outputs renamed to inputs_legacy/outputs_legacy to catch
errors). Versioning code ensures both backward and forward
compatibility of existing files.
The API for old interfaces is removed. The new API is very similar but
is defined on the `ntree.interface` instead of the `ntree` directly.
Breaking change notifications and detailed instructions for migrating
will be added.
A python test has been added for the node group API functions. This
includes new functionality such as creating panels and moving items
between different levels.
This patch does not yet contain panel representations in the modifier
UI. This has been tested in a separate branch and will be added with a
later PR (#108565).

Armature layers (the 32 little dots) and bone groups are replaced with
Bone Collections:
- Bone collections are stored on the armature, and have a name that is
unique within that armature.
- An armature can have an arbitrary number of bone collections (instead
of the fixed 32 layers).
- Bones can be assigned to zero or more bone collections.
- Bone collections have a visibility setting, just like objects in scene
collections.
- When a bone is in at least one collection, and all its collections in
are hidden, the bone is hidden. In other cases (in any visible
collection, or in no collection at all), the bone visibility is
determined by its own 'hidden' flag.
- For now, bone collections cannot be nested; they are a flat list just
like bone groups were. Nestability of bone collections is intended to
be implemented in a later 4.x release.
- Since bone collections are defined on the armature, they can be used
from both pose mode and edit mode.
Versioning converts bone groups and armature layers to new bone
collections. Layers that do not contain any bones are skipped. The old
data structures remain in DNA and are unaltered, for limited forward
compatibility. That way at least a save with Blender 4.0 will not
immediately erase the bone group and armature layers and their bone
assignments.
Shortcuts:
- M/Shift+M in pose/edit mode: move to collection (M) and add to
collection (shift+M). This works similar to the M/Shift+M menus for
objects & scene collections.
- Ctrl+G in pose mode shows a port of the old 'bone groups' menu. This
is likely to be removed in the near future, as the functionality
overlaps with the M/Shift+M menus.
This is the first commit of a series; the bone collections feature will
be improved before the Blender 4.0 release. See #108941 for more info.
Pull request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/109976
Move control over the color of bones from bone groups to the bones
themselves. Instead of using bone groups (which are defined on the pose,
and thus owned by the object), the color is stored on:
- the bone (`struct Bone`, or RNA `armature.bones['bone_name'].color`)
- a possible override on the pose bone (`struct bPoseChannel`, or RNA
`ob.pose.bones['bone_name'].color`).
When the pose bone is set to its default color, the color is determined
by the armature bone. In armature edit mode, the armature bone colors
are always used, as then the pose data is unavailable.
Versioning code converts bone group colors to bone colors. If the
Armature has a single user, the group color is stored on the bones
directly. If it has multiple users, the group colors will be stored on
the pose bones instead.
The bone group color is not removed from DNA for forward compatibility,
that is, to avoid immediate dataloss when saving a 3.6 file with 4.0.
This is part of the replacement of bone groups & armature layers with
bone collections. See the design task at #108941.

Although I don't like the idea of using owning raw pointers in new APIs
like this (violates fundamental C++ good practises), this type is mostly
meant for writing to files via DNA. So we have to use Blender's memory
management via the guarded allocator here.
Considered making this an alternative function, but then we'd have to
duplicate logif or duplicate memory or so. Not worth it to me.

Adds a userpref toggle for the edit mode overlays fresnel.
The edit mode fresnel is only a bit useful in edge cases, like
very dense photogrametry, and the problem is that it causes
more eye strain when modeling for many hours. And it's
benefit on shape readability is small compared to it's negative
impact on selection visibility. It makes the selection color to a
darker less saturated color instead of the theme color, which
leads to worse contrast between the selection and the mesh
or with the background, and also makes the unselected (black)
brighter, also reducing contrast. So it's off by default.
