In future use cases, a volume can contain many grids that represent the
density information. In this case, it's better if the volume to mesh node
creates a mesh based on all of the grids in the volume.
This is also a benefit to share-ability, since one doesn't have to
specify the grid name in the node. Instead, in the future we can have
a way to split particular grids into separate volumes, if only one
grid should be considered.
The code changes are relatively simple:
- Move the old volume to mesh node to the legacy folder.
- Run the volume to mesh node on all instance geometry, like elsewhere.
- Make the blenkernel's volume to mesh API a bit more specific.

When dragging an object in non-object mode into a 3D View, there will now be
red text explaining that this is only possible in object mode.
The previous commit enabled this.
* Allow operators to show a "disabled hint" in red text explaining why dropping
at the current location and in current context doesn't work. Should greatly
help users to understand what's the problem.
* Show a "stop" cursor when dropping isn't possible, like it's common on OSes.

This option allows the edge to end right at the border
instead of extending beyond.
Useful when having multiple camera setup where you
want the border to be clean.
Also moved overscan option down inside "Composition" sub panel

This patch upgrades node editor breadcrumbs to have slightly more
visual weight, to including the base path of object/modifier/world,
etc, have more visually pleasing spacing, and contain icons.
In the code, a generic "context path" is added to interface code.
The idea is that this could be used to draw other breadcrumbs in areas
like the property editor or the spreadsheet, and features could be added
to all of those areas at the same time.
Ideally we would be able to control the color of the breadcrumbs with a
specific theme color, but since they are drawn with the regular layout
system, that is not easily possible.
Thanks to @fabian_schempp for the original patch.

This option implements micro jittering an is based on the INRIA
research paper [[ https://hal.inria.fr/hal-01325702/document | on micro jittering ]]
and work by Lukas Stockner for implementing the scrambling distance.
It works by controlling the correlation between pixels by either using
a user supplied value or an adaptive algorithm to limit the maximum

Remove prefix of filenames that is the same as the folder name. This used
to help when #includes were using individual files, but now they are always
relative to the cycles root directory and so the prefixes are redundant.

renames and move over code to the right file.
* Split render/ into scene/ and session/. The scene/ folder now contains the

Currently, both inactive and active tabs are using the `Region Text` theme property.
This patch makes it so active tabs use `Region Text Highlight`.
Since this check is done in other places already but was simply missing in this case, I believe this was just an oversight and not a design decision.

Add a Fast GI Method, either Replace for the existing behavior, or Add
to add ambient occlusion like the old world settings.
This replaces the old Ambient Occlusion settings in the world properties.
This is still useful in some cases even if not used by OpenImageDenoise. In
the future this may be replaced with a more generic system to control render
passes and filtering, but for now this just does what it did before.
Adds an abstraction layer to switch between serialization formats.
Currently only supports JSON. The abstraction layer supports
`String`, `Int`, `Array`, `Null`, `Boolean`, `Float` and `Object`. This
feature is only CPP complaint.
To write from a stream, the structure can be built by creating a value
(any subclass of `blender::io::serialize::Value` can do, and pass it to
the `serialize` method of a `blender::io::serialize::Formatter`. The
formatter is abstract and there is one implementation for JSON
(`JsonFormatter`).
To read from a stream use the `deserialize` method of the formatter.
{D12693} uses this abstraction layer to read/write asset indexes.

Previously, the field on every socket was logged for later use. This had
two main negative consequences:
* Increased memory usage, because the fields may contain a lot of data
under some circumstances (e.g. a Ray Cast field contains the target geometry).
* Decreased performance, because anonymous attributes could not be
removed from geometry automatically, because there were still fields that
referenced them.
Now most fields are not logged anymore. Only those that are viewed by a
spreadsheet and constant fields. The required inputs of a field are still
logged in string form to keep socket inspection working.
Avoid blocking the UI when searching for animation channels with Ctrl+F.
Instead of showing a single text input in a blocking popup, Ctrl+F now
just focuses the search box above the channel list. It feels nicer to
use and has the niceties that come from using that textbox, like
searching per keystroke, compared to the old pop-up method.
As the behaviour of the operator has changed considerably, this also
changes the operator name from `anim.channels_find` to
`anim.channels_select_filter` and updates the keymaps.

Our CMake setup refuses to run from the source directory (i.e. Blender does
not support in-source builds). Instead, it shows instructions on how to
clean up after an accidental `cmake` invocation. These instructions missed
one directory that should also be removed (`CMakeFiles`), so that's been
added to the message now.
No functional changes to Blender or the build.
The viewer node has been expanded to have a field input next to the
geometry input. When both are connected (by ctrl+shift clicking on a node)
the spreadsheet will show the evaluated field on the geometry.
The operator to link to the viewer has become a bit smarter. It automatically
detects if it should link to the geometry or field input. In the future some more
smartness could be added, such as automatically relinking the "right" geometry
when viewing a field.
Internally, there are two major changes:
* Refactor of what happens when ctrl+shift clicking on a node to link to
a viewer. The behavior of the geometry nodes viewer is a bit more complex
than that of the compositor viewers. The behavior in compositing nodes
should not have changed. Any change should be reported as a bug (and then
we can decide if it's worse than before or if it needs fixing).
* Evaluation, display and caching of fields in the spreadsheet editor.

This adjusts some calculations and visibility flags for XR viewports in
order to account for a possible scale factor in the XR view matrix.
This scale factor can be introduced via the XR session settings base
scale, which allows a viewer to begin their session at a specific
reference scale, or the XR session state navigation scale, which allows
a viewer to adjust their scale relative to the reference scale during
the session.
Reviewed by Severin as part of D11501, but requested to be committed
separately.
Adds navigation transforms (pose, scale) to the XR session state that
will be applied to the viewer/controller poses. By manipulating these
values, a viewer can move through the VR viewport without the need to
physically walk through it.
Add-ons can access these transforms via Python
(XrSessionState.navigation_location/rotation/scale) to use with custom
operators.
Also adds 3 new VR navigation operators that will be exposed to users
as default actions in the VR Scene Inspection add-on. While all three
of these operators have custom properties that can greatly influence
their behaviors, for now these properties will not be accessible by
users from the UI. However, other add-ons can still set these custom
properties if they desire.
1). Raycast-based teleport
Moves the user to a location pointed at on a mesh object. The result
can optionally be constrained to specific axes, for example to achieve
"elevation snapping" behavior by constraining to the Z-axis. In
addition, one can specify an interpolation factor and offset.
Credit to KISKA for the elevation snapping concept.
2). "Grab" navigation
Moves the user through the viewport by pressing inputs on one or two
held controllers and applying deltas to the navigation matrix based on
the displacement of these controllers. When inputs on both controllers
are pressed at the same time (bimanual interaction), the user can scale
themselves relative to the scene based on the distance between the
controllers.
Also supports locks for location, rotation, and scale.
3). Fly navigation
Navigates the viewport by pressing a button and moving/turning relative to
navigation space or the VR viewer or controller. Via the operator's
properties, one can select from a variety of these modes as well as
specify the min/max speed and whether to lock elevation.
