Currently retiming is quite awkward, when you need to retime multiple
strips strips in sync. It is possible to use meta strips, but this is
still not great. This is resolved by implementing selection.
General changes:
Gizmos are removed, since they are designed to operate only on active
strip and don't support selection.
Transform operator code is implemented for retiming data, which allows
more sophisticated manipulation.
Instead of drawing marker-like symbols, keyframes are drawn to
represent retiming data. Retiming handles are now called keys. To have
consistent names, DNA structures have been renamed.
Retiming data is drawn on strip as overlay.
UI changes:
Retiming tool is removed. To edit retiming data, press Ctrl + R, select
a key and move it. When retiming is edited, retiming menu and
context menu shows more relevant features, like making transitions.
Strip and retiming key selection can not be combined. It is possible to
use box select operator to select keys, if any key is selected.
Otherwise strips are selected.
Adding retiming keys is possible with I shortcut or from menu.
Retiming keys are always drawn at strip left and right boundary. These
keys do not really exist until they are selected. This is to simplify
retiming of strips that are resized. These keys are called "fake keys"
in code.
API changes:
Functions, properties and types related to retiming handles are renamed
to retiming keys:
retiming_handle_add() -> retiming_key_add()
retiming_handle_move() -> retiming_key_move()
retiming_handle_remove() -> retiming_key_remove()
retiming_handles -> retiming_keys
RetimingHandle -> RetimingKey
Retiming editing "mode" is activated by setting `Sequence.show_retiming_keys`.

It was already called that way in the UI, since it's referring to a
behavior, not a type. Update the code to match that. Note that this is
a BPY compatibility breaking change for 4.0.
Avoid confusion when checking for DNA members by using the names
in DNA headers ("Light" instead of "Lamp" for e.g.)
Internally SDNA stores names without aliases for compatibility.
The intention with aliasing DNA names is for `dna_rename_defs.h`
to be the only place where the non-aliased names needed to be referenced
however versioning checks also needed to reference the old names.
This wasn't obvious, causing mistakes in versioning checks (now fixed):
- SpaceOutliner::filter
- BrushGpencilSettings::hardness
- bGPDstroke::hardness
Details:
- Alias lookup tables are now ensured for BlendFileData::filesdna.
- DNA_struct_exists & DNA_struct_member_exists now use aliased names
in versioning code.
Use with_alias / without_alias suffix for functions
so it's clear which is intended (no functional changes).
Add macros for versioning checks to avoid noisy changes,
currently they use the non-aliased versions of these functions
but should eventually be moved to use the aliased versions because
it's confusing to use the original names when these should only need
to be referenced from `dna_rename_defs.h`.
Name the lookup functions to make it clear they are versions of the
non-aliased functions that use an alias.
Prepare for explicit with/without alias versions of functions.
Rename for clarity in preparation for further refactoring.
Remove the need for `_nr` in function names.
- Rename *_find() functions to *_exists() since they returned a boolean.
- Rename *_find_nr() functions to *_find().
- Rename *_struct_elem_* to *_struct_member_*.
- Rename DNA_elem_size_nr -> DNA_struct_member_size.
- Rename DNA_elem_offset -> DNA_struct_member_offset_by_name.
Part 3/3 of #109135, #110272
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).

Listing the "Blender Foundation" as copyright holder implied the Blender
Foundation holds copyright to files which may include work from many
developers.
While keeping copyright on headers makes sense for isolated libraries,
Blender's own code may be refactored or moved between files in a way
that makes the per file copyright holders less meaningful.
Copyright references to the "Blender Foundation" have been replaced with
"Blender Authors", with the exception of `./extern/` since these this
contains libraries which are more isolated, any changed to license
headers there can be handled on a case-by-case basis.
Some directories in `./intern/` have also been excluded:
- `./intern/cycles/` it's own `AUTHORS` file is planned.
- `./intern/opensubdiv/`.
An "AUTHORS" file has been added, using the chromium projects authors
file as a template.
Design task: #110784
Ref !110783.
Using ClangBuildAnalyzer on the whole Blender build, it was pointing
out that BLI_math.h is the heaviest "header hub" (i.e. non tiny file
that is included a lot).
However, there's very little (actually zero) source files in Blender
that need "all the math" (base, colors, vectors, matrices,
quaternions, intersection, interpolation, statistics, solvers and
time). A common use case is source files needing just vectors, or
just vectors & matrices, or just colors etc. Actually, 181 files
were including the whole math thing without needing it at all.
This change removes BLI_math.h completely, and instead in all the
places that need it, includes BLI_math_vector.h or BLI_math_color.h
and so on.
Change from that:
- BLI_math_color.h was included 1399 times -> now 408 (took 114.0sec
to parse -> now 36.3sec)
- BLI_simd.h 1403 -> 418 (109.7sec -> 34.9sec).
Full rebuild of Blender (Apple M1, Xcode, RelWithDebInfo) is not
affected much (342sec -> 334sec). Most of benefit would be when
someone's changing BLI_simd.h or BLI_math_color.h or similar files,
that now there's 3x fewer files result in a recompile.
Pull Request #110944
Support name-spaced add-ons, exposed via user configurable extension
repositories.
Directories for add-ons can be added at run-time and are name-spaced to
avoid name-collisions with Python modules or add-ons from other
repositories.
This is exposed as an experimental feature "Extension Repositories".
Details:
- A `bUserExtensionRepo` type which represents a repository which is
listed in the add-ons repository.
- `JunctionModuleHandle` class to manage a package with sub-modules
which can point to arbitrary locations.
- `bpy.app.handlers._extension_repos_update_{pre/post}` internal
callbacks run before/after changes to extension repositories,
callbacks are used to sync the changes to the Python package that
exposes these to add-ons.
- The size of an add-on name has been increased so a user-defined package
prefix can be included without enforcing shorter add-on names.
- Functionality relating to package management has been left out of this
change and will be developed separately.
Further work:
- While a repository can be renamed, enabled add-ons aren't renamed.
Eventually we might want to support this although we could also
disallow renaming repositories with add-ons enabled as the name isn't
all that significant.
- Removing a repository should remove all the add-ons located in this
repository.
- Sub-module names are currently restricted to `[A-Za-z]+[A-Za-z0-9_]*`
we might want to relax this to allow unicode characters (we might
still want to disallow `-` or any characters that would prevent
attribute access in code).

Implements the rest of #101689, after 5e9ea9243b.
- `vdata` -> `vert_data`
- `edata` -> `edge_data`
- `pdata` -> `face_data`
- `ldata` -> `loop_data`
A deeper rename of `loop` to `corner` will be proposed as a next
step, and renaming `totvert` and `totedge` can be done separately.

Implements part of #101689.
The "poly" name was chosen to distinguish the `MLoop` + `MPoly`
combination from the `MFace` struct it replaced. Those two structures
persisted together for a long time, but nowadays `MPoly` is gone, and
`MFace` is only used in some legacy code like the particle system.
To avoid unnecessarily using a different term, increase consistency
with the UI and with BMesh, and generally make code a bit easier to
read, this commit replaces the `poly` term with `poly`. Most variables
that use the term are renamed too. `Mesh.totface` and `Mesh.fdata` now
have a `_legacy` suffix to reduce confusion. In a next step, `pdata`
can be renamed to `face_data` as well.

Change the `makesdna` error message from:
```
Align struct error: Bone color
```
to:
```
Align struct error: Bone::color (starts at 180 on the native platform; 180 % 8 = 4 bytes)
```
This has a few advantages:
- The colon notation (`Bone::color`) makes it easier to recognise that this is about a specific struct field.
- It makes it clear that this is about the start/offset of the inner struct.
- It includes the math the check is actually doing, providing concrete information on how to change the code to fix the issue.

Couldn't move two files yet:
* `softbody.c`: The corresponding regression test fails. It seems like the
conversion to C++ changes floating point accuracy, but it's not clear where that happens exactly.
* `writeffmpeg.c`: Is a bit more complex to convert because of the static array in `av_err2str`.

This formats code that is disabled using `#if 0`. Formatting was achieved
by temporarily changing `#if 0` to `#if 1 /*something*/`, then formatting,
and then changing it back to `#if 0`.
This data-block was originally added in eb4e3bbe68.
However, that original plan wasn't fully implemented, with simulations
now integrated with geometry nodes and modifiers instead of a separate
data-block. We kept the data-block around anyway since we have the
loose plan of using a similar data-block to make global simulations
connected between multiple objects. But it may be a while before we
implement that, and in the meantime having this just causes confusion.
There's quite a few libraries that depend on dna_type_offsets.h
but had gotten to it by just adding the folder that contains it to
their includes INC section without declaring a dependency to
bf_dna in the LIB section.
which occasionally lead to the lib building before bf_dna and the
header being missing, while this generally gets fixed in CMake by
adding bf_dna to the LIB section of the lib, however until last
week all libraries in the LIB section were linked as INTERFACE so
adding it in there did not resolve the build issue.
To make things still build, we sprinkled add_dependencies wherever
we needed it to force a build order.
This diff :
Declares public include folders for the bf_dna target so there's
no more fudging the INC section required to get to them.
Removes all dna related paths from the INC section for all
libraries.
Adds an alias target bf:dna to signify it has been updated to
modern cmake
Declares a dependency on bf::dna for all libraries that require it
Removes (almost) all calls to add_dependencies for bf_dna
Future work:
Because of the manual dependency management that was done, there is
now some "clutter" with libs depending on bf_dna that realistically
don't. Example bf_intern_opencolorio itself has no dependency on
bf_dna at all, doesn't need it, doesn't use it. However the
dna include folder had been added to it in the past since bf_blenlib
uses dna headers in some of its public headers and
bf_intern_opencolorio does use those blenlib headers.
Given bf_blenlib now correctly declares the dependency on bf_dna
as public bf_intern_opencolorio will get the dna header directory
automatically from CMake, hence some cleanup could be done for
bf_intern_opencolorio
Because 99% of the changes in this diff have been automated, this diff
does not seek to address these issues as there is no easy way to
determine why a certain dependency is in place. A developer will have
to make a pass a this at some later point in time. As I'd rather not
mix automated and manual labour.
There are a few libraries that could not be automatically processed
(ie bf_blendthumb) that also will need this manual look-over.

This introduces an alias target `bf::intern::atomic` for
`bf_intern_atomic`. This has the following benefits:
- Any target name with `::` in it will be recognized as an actual
target by cmake, rather than a library name it may not know about.
and will be validated by cmake to exist. Which means if you make
a typo in the LIB section, CMake will error out telling you it
doesn't know about this specific target rather than passing it on
to the build system, where you'll either get build or linker errors
because of said typo.
- Given there is quite a cleanup still to do in the build system,
it won't always be obvious which targets have been updated to
modern targets and which still need to be done. Having a namespaced
target name is a good indicator there.

When using ASAN without WITH_COMPILER_ASAN, for example when enabling it
in Xcode, some symbols would be missing from makesdna. Instead just always
include them, there's no harm in it.

The main complication here was that the `long` type was poisoned in GCC, but it's used by
some included C++ headers. I removed the compile-dependent poison and added a new
check for `long` and `ulong` so that they still can't be used in DNA.
