Experimental tab in User Preferences for experimental features.
The tab option is only visible when "Developer Extras" is on.
Included here is a (commented out) example panel to be used as a
template for the new experimental panels. Since these panels will come
and go it is nice to have a reference in the code.

Most of the time Stretch To is used in actual rigs, like BlenRig
or Rigify, in combination with Damped Track to handle rotation
before the stretch, because it produces rotations more appropriate
for organic deformation, and doesn't flip because of internal
gimbal lock.
The prevalence of this pattern suggests that Stretch To should
support that kind of rotation directly as an option.

Combine computing `size` and normalizing the matrix, invert the
direction of `vec` to avoid negating it later, use `rescale_m4`
instead of matrix multiplication to scale the final result.

We also need to rebuild the whole collection/viewlayer object cache
thing when we relink an objector collection in a collection (since it
might be part of a view layer).
Again, usual disclaimer about how inneficient this is currently, needs a
serious refactor to only tag caches as dirty, and actually rebuild the
whole thing on access.
This introduces object mode tagging for data which hasn't yet been
written back to the ID data.
Now when selecting other sculpt objects, the original objects data is
flushed back to the ID before writing a memfile undo step.
As reported by Clément Foucault. This is a small thing but since we
are refactoring the draw manager for the next blender is nice to
have it fully working before the refactor for comparison.
Note: Camera volume and render were both fine, the camera frame is the
one thing that was not working.
Also in toe-in the convergence plane is always facing the original
camera orientation. It is a known small annoyance.
This test should not be needed and the cause is unclear, but better to avoid
the crash. Possibly caused by files saved with development versions that had
different node type IDs.
Steps to recreate were:
* Open a Node Editor, add some nodes
* Save the file
* Select all nodes (A)
* Save it again, but with Ctrl+S
* Try to select an already selected node
It's supposed to deselect other nodes now, but for as long as the report
banner is shown in the status-bar ('Saved "foo.blend"'), this doesn't
work.
Also happened in the VSE, Dopesheet, NLA or everywhere else we recently
added drag-all-selected support to.
Issue was in there since 2.80. Basically the timer event sent by the
report banner broke assumptions in the selection operator.
Hope this fix doesn't have any side effects. Checked with Bastien
(initial author of this logic), but seems things are fine.
The AA offset should be substracted, not added. I think this was
introduced when I refactored the code in a code review.

Should Fix T70326
This implements the shrinkwrap options suggested in D5933. I did a few
test and it seems much more stable than the previous options.

The previous default was 1.7, so the brush was more stable on surface
normal changes, but softer. I don't think users expect this brush to be
that stable, so by using 1.55 we make the brush a little bit stronger on
curved surfaces by default.

This wasn't an issue in the real buildbot environment since the
precompiled libraries are compiled with same ABI as the compiler
used for Blender build. But it was causing issues when building
Blender using buildbot scripts (for troubleshooting purposes)
on a machine with different default compiler ABI.
Usually ABI detection is happening in platform_unix.cmake when
detecting whether there are any precompiled libraries folder
available. This detection is not happening when library folder
is provided explicitly, expecting ABI to be setup explicitly
as well.
In 2011 special handling was introduced, apparently for no other
reason than to address a complaint in T25707 that World and Local
space are equivalent for objects without parent. This causes issues
and confusion, as mentioned in rB599c8a2c8e4.
This special meaning of Local Space is not documented in the manual,
and is not known to experienced riggers, so removing it should not
be a problem.

This commit implements the change in behaviour described in T71246.
In short:
For export, per mesh:
- Custom loop normals are defined → loop normals are exported.
- One or more polys are marked flat → loop normals are exported.
- Otherwise, no normals are exported.
For import, when the Alembic mesh contains:
- loop normals (kFacevaryingScope) → use as custom loop normals, and
enble Auto Smooth to have Blender actually use them.
- vertex normals (kVertexScope or kVaryingScope) → convert to loop
normals, and handle as above.
- no normals → mark mesh as smooth.
- unsupported normal types (kConstantScope, kUniformScope,
kUnknownScope) → handle as 'no normals'.
This also fixes T71130: Alembic split normal export issue
Previously the mesh flag `ME_AUTOSMOOTH` was used in conjunction with
the poly flag `ME_SMOOTH` to determine whether loop normals or vertex
normals were exported. This behaviour was hard to predict for artists,
and hard to describe in the manual. Instead, Blender now only exports
loop normals, computing them if necessary. This way, the mesh in Alembic
should always have the same loop normals as in Blender.

This computation is complex and useful enough to expose the existing
C math utility used by BVH nearest to Python. Otherwise this requires
the use of intersect_point_tri and multiple intersect_point_line calls
with some added vector math.
