- Simpler code
- Persistent base now works with multires thanks to the sculpt API
- Small cursor widget to preview the layer height
- More controllable and smoother strength and deformation
- More correct masking support
- More predictable invert support. When using persistent base, the brush invert mode resets to layer height 0, instead of jumping from +1 to -1. The brush can still be inverted in the brush direction property.

* Maintains compatibility with older files. The default settings keep it
so that the whole object is bound and vertex coordinates get overwritten
as the modifier currently does.
* Turns the deformations from an absolute vertex coordinate overwrite into
an additive offset from the vertex location before the modifier to the
resulting bound deformation. This gives the ability to control the
strength of the deformation and mix the deformation of the modifier
with the modifier stack that comes before it.
* Also adds in a vertex group with the invert option. This is applied after
the bind deformation is added. So the whole object is still bound to target,
and the vertex group filters afterwards what parts get affected.
I experimented with a version to only binds the geometry weighted to the
vertex group, but that would break compatibility with old files.

This means Blender can display more text correctly without having to enable
user interface translation. Previously the quality of the font was lower,
but that has been fixed now.
The font files have now been ungzipped, which results in faster file loading
as Freetype can read only the parts of the file that it needs. Blender download
size should not increase since the release package is compressed.
This includes improvements for Cyrillic characters from the latest DejaVu
Sans fonts from D6960, contributed by Harley Acheson. Fixes T74097.

This commit adds the option to invert the resulting weights of the
falloff curve.
There is a workflow used by some to convert a texture mask into
vertex weights by using a custom curve and inverting the points.
This allows the same effect with a single click, and gives the modifier
more procedural functionality.
With minor UI tweaks by @mont29.

This has some advantages over operator search:
- Some operators need options set to be usefully accessed.
- Shows key bindings to access menus
(for actions that don't have key bindings themselves).
- Non operator actions such as check-boxes are also shown.
- Menu items can control execution context, using invoke or execute
where appropriate so we can control how the operator runs.
Part of the design task T74157.
This can be tested using the 'Experimental' preferences section
or selected in the key-map editor.
This patch adds ability to set up colors and size of background
(transparency) checkerboard pattern in viewport and 2d editors. No new
backgrounds, only changing colors in existing ones.
This is not the background of the viewport, it is a transparency
checkerboard that is turned on only in render mode, when the
transparency mode is on. And also in 2D-editors, (image, sequencer,
etc).

This patch implements dumping images from cache to HDD.
The main goal of this system is to provide a means to achieve consistent playback speed mainly for strips that are not possible to preview in real time.
How to use:
Disk cache has own settings in user preferences for path to storage, size limit and compression level.
To use disk cache, you need to check `Use Disk Cache` box, set `Disk Cache Directory`, `Disk Cache Limit` and save or open existing .blend file.
By default sequencer output will be cached only. Manual setting is possible in cache panel.
Uses:
- Replacement or alternative for proxies. Disk cache will work with any strip type, supports float images as well.
- Storage for strip thumbnails.
- Less RAM needs to be allocated for preview cache
How it works:
Disk cache is extension of RAM cache. Every image, that is stored or deleted in RAM will be stored or deleted on HDD as well. Images can be compressed to save space and for use on slower drives. Compressed images are slower to write and read though.
Images are stored in bulk of 100 rendered frames per one file. This is to overcome slow file access time for large amount of files. Drawback is, that if one frame needs to be redrawn, all 100 frames are deleted.

* Space: volume density and step size in object or world space
* Step Size: override automatic step size
* Clipping: values below this are ignored for tighter volume bounds
The last two are Cycles only currently.
Ref T73201
Only the volume drawing part is really finished and exposed to the user. Hair
plugs into the existing hair rendering code and is fairly straightforward. The
pointcloud drawing is a hack using overlays rather than Eevee and workbench.
The most tricky part for volume rendering is the case where each volume grid
has a different transform, which requires an additional matrix in the shader
and non-trivial logic in Eevee volume drawing. In the common case were all the
transforms match we don't use the additional per-grid matrix in the shader.

This check box alters how weights are displayed and painted,
similar to Multi Paint, but in a different way. Specifically,
weights are presented as if all locked vertex groups were
deleted, and the remaining deform groups normalized.
The new feature is intended for use when balancing weights within
a group of bones while all others are locked. Enabling the option
presents weight as if the locked bones didn't exist, and their
weight was proportionally redistributed to the editable bones.
Conversely, the Multi-Paint feature allows balancing a group of
bones as a whole against all unselected bones, while ignoring
weight distribution within the selected group.
This mode also allows temporarily viewing non-normalized weights
as if they were normalized, without actually changing the values.

NOTE: While most of the milestone 1 goals are there, a few smaller features and
improvements are still to be done.
Big picture of this milestone: Initial, OpenXR-based virtual reality support
for users and foundation for advanced use cases.
Maniphest Task: https://developer.blender.org/T71347
The tasks contains more information about this milestone.
To be clear: This is not a feature rich VR implementation, it's focused on the
initial scene inspection use case. We intentionally focused on that, further
features like controller support are part of the next milestone.
- How to use?
Instructions on how to use this are here:
https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/User:Severin/GSoC-2019/How_to_Test
These will be updated and moved to a more official place (likely the manual) soon.
Currently Windows Mixed Reality and Oculus devices are usable. Valve/HTC
headsets don't support the OpenXR standard yet and hence, do not work with this
implementation.
---------------
This is the C-side implementation of the features added for initial VR
support as per milestone 1. A "VR Scene Inspection" Add-on will be
committed separately, to expose the VR functionality in the UI. It also
adds some further features for milestone 1, namely a landmarking system
(stored view locations in the VR space)
Main additions/features:
* Support for rendering viewports to an HMD, with good performance.
* Option to sync the VR view perspective with a fully interactive,
regular 3D View (VR-Mirror).
* Option to disable positional tracking. Keeps the current position (calculated
based on the VR eye center pose) when enabled while a VR session is running.
* Some regular viewport settings for the VR view
* RNA/Python-API to query and set VR session state information.
* WM-XR: Layer tying Ghost-XR to the Blender specific APIs/data
* wmSurface API: drawable, non-window container (manages Ghost-OpenGL and GPU
context)
* DNA/RNA for management of VR session settings
* `--debug-xr` and `--debug-xr-time` commandline options
* Utility batch & config file for using the Oculus runtime on Windows.
* Most VR data is runtime only. The exception is user settings which are saved
to files (`XrSessionSettings`).
* VR support can be disabled through the `WITH_XR_OPENXR` compiler flag.

The feature is hidden behind an experimental option, you'll have to
enable it in the preferences to try it.
This feature is not yet considered fully stable, crashes may happen, as
well as .blend file corruptions (very unlikely, but still possible).
In a nutshell, the ideas behind this code are to:
* Detect unchanged IDs across an undo step.
* Reuse as much as possible existing IDs memory, even when its content
did change.
* Re-use existing depsgraphs instead of building new ones from scratch.
* Store accumulated recalc flags, to avoid needless re-compute of things
that did not change, when the ID itself is detected as modified.
See T60695 and D6580 for more technical details.
This option existed already and was just hidden in the UI. With the new fluids system though, it will only be used for rendering - and not to optimize the cache.
This commit adds 7 themes submitted by the community on Devtalk. These themes both serve specific purposes, provide a greater variety in look & feel, and serve as welcoming homes for users coming on board from other packages. This is the initial commit, but these themes can be continuously updated over time to fix issues and keep them up to date with changes.
Thanks to all contributors, and in particular the makes of the picked themes: Pierre Schiller, Edward Agwi, Vojtěch Lacina, Michail Soluyanov, Jason van Gumster, Mr Wax Police & Jonathan Lampel.
