The Studio lights are now loaded from disk. The location is
`datafiles/studiolights` they need to be JPG for now. JPG cannot store
HDRI color range but they are clamped inside the Workbench
engine for speed reason. I didn't select JP2K as it might not be
enabled.
Users can add upto 20 HDRI files. This limitation is inside the
RNA_space.c Currently the icons are calculated when you first open the
selection box for the HDRI's. We could add them to a background
rendering later.
I added 2 test files a sky texture rendered in Cycles and an HDRI from
cloud.blender.org.
This feature is limited (only byte PPM output, no multi-view),
only works with specific configurations.
This also causes some maintenance overhead
when testing changes to the render pipeline.
ViewRender was removed, which means we can't get the render engine for files
saved in 2.8. We assume that any files saved in 2.8 were intended to use Eevee
and set the engine to that.
A fix included with this is that .blend thumbails now draw with Clay mode,
and never Eevee or Cycles. These were drawn with solid mode in 2.7, and should
be very fast and not e.g. load heavy image textures.

Folders removed entirely:
* //extern/recastnavigation
* //intern/decklink
* //intern/moto
* //source/blender/editors/space_logic
* //source/blenderplayer
* //source/gameengine
This includes DNA data and any reference to the BGE code in Blender itself.
We are bumping the subversion.
Pending tasks:
* Tile/clamp code in image editor draw code.
* Viewport drawing code (so much of this will go away because of BI removal
that we can wait until then to remove this.
- Undo that changes modes currently asserts,
since undo is now screen data.
Most likely we will change how object mode and workspaces work
since it's not practical/maintainable at the moment.
- Removed view_layer from particle settings
(wasn't needed and complicated undo).
- Use a single undo history for all operations.
- UndoType's are registered and poll the context to check if they
should be used when performing an undo push.
- Mode switching is used to ensure the state is correct before
undo data is restored.
- Some undo types accumulate changes (image & text editing)
others store the state multiple times (with de-duplication).
This is supported by checking UndoStack.mode `ACCUMULATE` / `STORE`.
- Each undo step stores ID datablocks they use with utilities to help
manage restoring correct ID's.
Needed since global undo is now mixed with other modes undo.
- Currently performs each undo step when going up/down history
Previously this wasn't done, making history fail in some cases.
This can be optimized to skip some combinations of undo steps.
grease-pencil is an exception which has not been updated
since it integrates undo into the draw-session.
See D3113
- See `--log` help message for usage.
- Supports enabling categories.
- Color severity.
- Optionally logs to a file.
- Currently use to replace printf calls in wm module.
See D3120 for details.
User notes
----------
Compositing, rendering of multi-layers in Eevee should be fully working now.
Development notes
-----------------
Up until now we were still using the same depsgraph for rendering and viewport
evaluation. And we had to go out of our ways to be sure the depsgraphs were
updated.
Now we iterate over the (to be rendered) view layers and create a depsgraph to
each one, fully evaluated and call the render engines (Cycles, Eevee, ...) with
this viewlayer/depsgraph/evaluation context.
At this time we are not handling data persistency, Depsgraph is created from
scratch prior to rendering each frame. So I got rid of most of the partial
update calls we had during the render pipeline.
Cycles: Brecht Van Lommel did a patch to tackle some of the required Cycles
changes but this commit mark these changes as TODOs. Basically Cycles needs to
render one layer at a time.

- Use BLI_threadpool_ prefix for (deprecated)
thread/listbase API.
- Use BLI_thread as prefix for other functions.
See P614 to apply instead of manually resolving conflicts.
The RenderResult struct still has a listbase of RenderLayer, but that's ok
since this is strictly for rendering.
* Subversion bump (to 2.80.2)
* DNA low level doversion (renames) - only for .blend created since 2.80 started
Note: We can't use DNA_struct_elem_find or get file version in init_structDNA,
so we are manually iterating over the array of the SDNA elements instead.
Note 2: This doversion change with renames can be reverted in a few months. But
so far it's required for 2.8 files created between October 2016 and now.

This is a final step of having proper ownership. Now selecting different
layers in the "top bar" will actually do what this is expected to do.
Surely, there are still things to be done under the hood, that will happen
in a less intrusive way.
To help diagnose issues like T53259, it is useful to know the module causing the issue (is it us, or some opengl icd, or python module?) and while we cannot do stackdumps on release builds on windows, it is possible to display the faulting module. This commit changes the exception handler to output the following information:
Error : EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (Type of exception , this we had before)
Address : 0x0000000140193726 (Address of the exception, new)
Module : k:\BlenderGit\build_windows_Full_noge_x64_vc15_Release\bin\Release\blender.exe (module of the exception, new)
Need to ensure Render has proper dependency graph.
While this is a subject of re-design (render pipeline should manage all
dependency graphs it needs, and not demand external users to provide
depsgraph), this is good to have something working, so we can run regression
tests and such.
Loading blender with an unknown name would interpret it as a blend file.
This meant passing `--arg` arguments would end up creating new
blend files which could be confusing if you made a typo on a command
line argument.
Now check the string has a blend file extension,
exiting if it doesn't.
Before it was a compile time option which was not very easy to use or test. Now
the project is getting more mature, so very soon we will be able to call for a
public tests of limited features.
The copy-on-write (which includes animation, modifiers) is enabled using
--enable-copy-on-write command line argument.
Engine is not stored in WorkSpaces. That defines the "context" engine, which
is used for the entire UI.
The engine used for the poll of nodes (add node menu, new nodes when "Use Nodes")
is obtained from context.
Introduce a ViewRender struct for viewport settings that are defined for
workspaces and scene. This struct will be populated with the hand-picked
settings that can be defined per workspace as per the 2.8 design.
* use_scene_settings
* properties editor: workshop + organize context path
Use Scene Settings
==================
For viewport drawing, Workspaces have an option to use the Scene render
settings (F12) instead of the viewport settings.
This way users can quickly preview the final render settings, engine and
View Layer. This will affect all the editors in that workspace, and it will be
clearly indicated in the top-bar.
Properties Editor: Add Workspace and organize context path
==========================================================
We now have the properties of:
Scene, Scene > Layer, Scene > World, Workspace
[Scene | Workspace] > Render Layer > Object
[Scene | Workspace] > Render Layer > Object > Data
