The issue also happens on macOS 15.3.
This is a Metal driver bug, a fix is coming in macOS 15.4. Until then
disable refitting the viewport. There is no perceptible benefit from
refitting, so while it might be less that ideal it allows to side step
the problem and still benefit from the HWRT.

This is not a complete solution because there may be indirect changes
to the compiler other than the binary that require a rebuild, but this
should catch the simple cases at least.
To align better with the pixel and reduce the samples needed.
The paper was using gamma because the jacobian |d_gamma/d_h| approaches
infinity at the boundaries, but it seems that clamping at 0.999 is
enough for numerical stability.
In practice I did not notice a change in the noise level, but it
simplifies the range computation and renders faster due to reduced
sample amount.

Enables building of a Cubin for GPUs based on Blackwell architecture
if CUDA toolkit version 12.8 or higher is installed.
Only added sm_120 to the default set, since it is the one relevant for
consumer GPUs (RTX 5090 etc.) that are generally used with Blender.

This commit adds the `light:random` attribute to OSL, allowing the
object info node to now match between SVM and OSL when using the
random output on a light.

Replace `const char *` with `StringRef` for the API in `BKE_attribute.h`.
The benefits are slightly simpler code and possibly slightly improved
performance through avoiding the need to measure string length.

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.

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.

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
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 issue here is that originally, the step count for the geometry's
motion and the object transform's motion were tied together, so a
single variable is used to store that step count.
However, when using the velocity attribute, it's possible for the step
counts to differ, which will lead to an incorrect interpolated object
transform in the kernel.
