The sync with remote repositories would lock-up the interface with no
way to cancel. This could be a problem especially on slow connections.
The operator dialog is now shows the state of syncing which can
be canceled by pressing Escape or clicking away from the dialog.
The default "System" repository which was ordered before "User Default",
order system repositories last as these are a special case many users
won't touch.
Reference identifiers instead of "above" in code comments as these
tends to become outdated. Even when declarations are removed it's at
least clear that the reference no longer exists instead of referring to
whatever is currently above the declaration.
It's also straightforward to search history for a removed identifier.
Corrected 4 cases of references to things that were no longer above
the doc-strings. Noticed other references which look to be incorrect
but need further investigation.
Precompiled Cycles kernels make up a considerable fraction of the total size of
Blender builds nowadays. As we add more features and support for more
architectures, this will only continue to increase.
However, since these kernels tend to be quite compressible, we can save a lot
of storage by storing them in compressed form and decompressing the required
kernel(s) during loading.
By using Zstandard compression with a high level, we can get decent compression
ratios (~5x for the current kernels) while keeping decompression time low
(about 30ms in the worse case in my tests). And since we already require zstd
for Blender, this doesn't introduce a new dependency.
While the main improvement is to the size of the extracted Blender installation
(which is reduced by ~400-500MB currently), this also shrinks the download on
Windows, since .zip's deflate compression is less effective. It doesn't help on
Linux since we're already using .tar.xz there, but the smaller installed size
is still a good thing.
See #123522 for initial discussion.

- Optionally generate a simple HTML page (using --html).
- Links include repository, blender_versnon_* & platform information,
so the information can be used by blender when links are dropped
into Blender.
- Support using a template as the default HTML is primitive.
- Disable enabling on install when installing marked.
This simplifies installing many packages from a repository which can
be useful for testing.
- Fix an error installing marked when a local-only package was marked.
File browser can now show thumbnail view in a larger range of sizes.
Unfortunately there is a lower bound currently set on the icon that is
shown in the middle of the "document" that assumes 64 is the smallest
(the old minimum). This causes these icons to overflow below 64. Just
something that was missed when we allowed smaller sizes. This small
change supports down to 16.

If a non-instanced collection is linked, any collection exporters on the
linked collection would be active and invokable. This is probably not
desired as it could inadvertently overwrite files from the original.
Disable the operators in this case.

This is the root cause of broken updates
on local lights.
The same local frustum was used for all of the
tilemap (up to 6) of a light. This made the
`intersect(frustum, box)` call buggy which
would return true only if the object would
intersect with the first tilemap of the light.
This lead to improper updates when the object
would hit this path.

This is an alternative fix to #123524.
This is necessary, because `sculpt_update_object` is run after
the mesh is evaluated, but before the geometry depsgraph operation
is done. Only after this depsgraph node is done, `DEG_object_geometry_is_evaluated`
will return true.
This approach of `unchecked` methods has been preferred for now
over moving the call to `BKE_sculpt_update_object_after_eval`
to a separate depsgraph node or after depsgraph evaluation.
Cycles automatic denoiser picker assumed that OIDN could not be
run on the GPU while the CPU was the render device. So if the user was
using their CPU for rendering, the automatic denoiser picker would
"fallback" to a different denoiser (OptiX or CPU OIDN). This was true
in Blender 4.1, but changed in 4.2. The UI assumed that OIDN could run
on the GPU if there was a compatible OIDN GPU device.
This lead to a issue on systems using the CPU for rendering
while having a NVIDIA GPU installed in the system. The
UI suggested that OIDN would be used, and would switch between
CPU and GPU depending on user preferences. But the automatic
denoiser picker in Cycle's backend said OIDN could not run on
the GPU in this situation and would always "fallback" to the
OptiX denoiser running on the NVIDIA GPU.
This created a mismatch between the UI and what Cycles was
acutally doing. This issue did not effect other GPU vendors because
their "fallback" was the OIDN denoiser.
This commit fixes this issue by aligning the Cycles automatic
denoiser picker in the backend with the UI. Using OIDN if a GPU
is supported, falling back to OptiX if it's not supported,
falling back to OIDN CPU if OptiX isn't supported,
then falling back to no denoiser if that's not supported.

Previously, the node checked for all possible missing evaluations first.
However, some of the outputs may still work even if using another one
could cause a dependency cycle.
The issue is a combination of following aspects:
- Missing null-pointer check in the image operation, which is probably
why the result was buggy. It is addressed by #123493.
- In certain conditions loading image was wrongfully failing.
The reason for failing to read image were items with a null-pointer
image buffer left by the cache limit enforcer, which was considered
to be an indication of failed load from disk. The reason why the cache
limiter leaves items with null-ptr as an image buffer is kind of a
legacy limitation which was never resolved. Long story short: the
system expects put() to be called on the cache to clear its empty
items.
To solve the original issue of files considered to be unreadable
only set the cache-empty if the image buffer was added empty.

The first input of the compositor Mix node determines resolution,
leading to situation when the second input will always be attempted
to be evaluated. If the first input is a longer image sequence than
the second input it leads to a crash.
Do a null-pointer check and return transparent image in this cases,
similar to what the Movie Clip operation is doing.

When syncing in the background the UI could refresh immediately
before clicking making it possible for the user to install the wrong
extension. Since install also enables the extension, it meant it was
too easy to accidentally run untrusted code.
Disable install/upgrade while sync runs.
Also tweak text alignment and use round brackets for "(disabled)"
extensions.
Use a per-extension menu so extra functionality can be accessed from
one place.
- The install/upgrade button remains top-level.
- "Uninstall" and "Visit Website" have been moved into the menu.
- Theme extensions can be set from the menu.
- Installed add-on extensions have a "View Details" menu item
to switch to the add-ons view (useful to access preferences).
Based on design by Pablo & Dalai.

Add back the "Add-ons" preferences, removing add-on logic from
extensions.
- Add support for filtering add-ons by tags
(separate from extension tags).
- Tags now respect the "Only Enabled" option.
- Remove the ability to enable/disable add-ons from extensions.
- Remove add-on preferences from extensions.
- Remove "Legacy" & "Core" prefix from add-on names.
- Remove "Show Legacy Add-ons" filtering option.
Implements design task #122735.
Details:
- Add-on names and descriptions are no longer translated,
since it's impractical to translate text which is mostly
maintained outside of Blender.
- Extensions names have a `[disabled]` suffix when disabled so it's
possible to identify installed but disabled extensions.
- The add-on "type" is shown in the details,
so it's possible to tell the difference between an extension,
a core add-on & a legacy user add-on.
- Icons are also used to differentiate the add-on type.
- User add-on's must be uninstalled from the add-ons section
(matching 4.1 behavior).
- Simplify logic for filtering tags, move into a function.
Primarily the `evaluation_mode` enum prop was incorrectly grouped with
the previous `xform_op_mode` enum causing them to combine in the UI.
Additionally, group the `allow_unicode` option under the Blender Data
sub layout as was intended but got lost in a merge.

Some of the existing colors were hard to read with the new
strips design.
Tried following the concept from 2.83 redesign rationale:
* Same saturation for regular strips.
* Lower saturation for effect strips.
* Tried to reduce the hue shift between certain similar effects.
Other changes:
* Match saturation of all regular strips.
* Reduce value and saturation (mostly value) of color tags so
they are readable in both light and dark text.
* Image: Follow node editor Image node socket color.
* Color: Use the same hue as the color node socket.
* Text: Change it so it doesn’t use the same as Image.
* Sound: Use a greener color, less movie-like blue.
* Scene: Light gray, similar fashion to Collections.
* Other strips had minor adjustments.

This was caused by the tangent basis computation that
had a threshold that was too noticeable.
Increasing the threshold makes the artifact
unoticeable.

In file_browse_invoke, if the path is blank we attempt to use
BKE_appdir_folder_default_or_root to get the user's normal document
root. However we are not ensuring that the directory path has a
trailing slash, which can result in it being misinterpreted as a file
path instead, separating out the last path part. This PR only adds a
call to BLI_path_slash_ensure.

This was caused by some pixels having no good neighbors
to get the irradiance from. The weighted sum would
have huge precision issues and the values would blow-out.

The icon for missing media/data-block would be too close to the edges.
Decrease the size so it matches the size of the label and aligns with
the text baseline.
Update the batch specializations compilation to allow using it in an
async way.
The implementation has 2 main limitations:
- Only one batch at a time can be processed, extra batches will be
added to a queue.
- Binding a specialization variant that is still being compiled will fail.

With the recent change for labels to be black when not active/selected,
the hardcoded colors of missing media/data-blocks make it hard to read.
- Use a lighter color just like muted strips.
- Makes active/selected muted strips draw labels in full opacity, for consistency.
- Make muted strips a little less gray (50% instead of 80%)

There is some special code in the Object's freeing which did
special checks for SubdivCCG based on the evaluated mesh state.
If the depsgraph is destroyed prior to the evaluated object it
makes object to access freed components of ID node.
The fix makes it so the evaluated ID is freed prior to freeing
components.
From the user perspective, the transform tools in editmode and
sculptmode look like the same tools, the equal behavior could be
expected.
So now set vertices on the mirror axis (check with the same epsilon as
editmode transform) while transforming, replicating what
`mesh_transdata_mirror_apply` does.
