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.

- Use line separator over box instead of separate boxes.
- Format web-links with a label, then the button instead
of positioning the buttons side-by-side.

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.

Make half-size waveforms default in new files and Video Editing template.
They are more space efficient and display more detail at small sizes.
This does not change existing files.

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.
Adding an epsilon weight tailored to the report file
to fix this issue.
Fix#123488
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.
Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/123015
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.

While the evaluated result is not well defined, we expect Blender to not crash
when there are dependency cycles.
The evaluation of one object often takes the evaluated geometry of another
object into account. This works fine if the other object is already fully
evaluated. However, if there is a dependency cycle, the other object may not be
evaluated already. Currently, we have no way to check for this and were mostly
just relying on luck that the other objects geometry is in some valid state
(even if it's not the fully evaluated geometry).
This patch adds the ability to explicitly check if an objects geometry is fully
evaluated already, so that it can be accessed by other objects. If there are not
dependency cycles, this should always be true. If not, it may be false
sometimes, and in this case the other objects geometry should be ignored. The
same also applies to the object transforms and the geometry of a collection.
For that, new functions are added in `DEG_depsgraph_query.hh`. Those should be
used whenever accessing another objects or collections object during depsgraph
evaluation. More similar functions may be added in the future.
```
bool DEG_object_geometry_is_evaluated(const Object &object);
bool DEG_object_transform_is_evaluated(const Object &object);
bool DEG_collection_geometry_is_evaluated(const Collection &collection);
```
To determine if the these components are fully evaluated, a reference to the
corresponding depsgraph is needed. A possible solution to that is to pass the
depsgraph through the call stack to these functions. While possible, there are a
couple of annoyances. For one, the parameter would need to be added in many new
places. I don't have an exact number, but it's like 50 or so. Another
complication is that under some circumstances, multiple depsgraphs may have to
be passed around, for example when evaluating node tools (also see
`GeoNodesOperatorDepsgraphs`).
To simplify the patch and other code in the future, a different route is taken
where the depsgraph pointer is added to `ID_Runtime`, making it readily
accessible similar to the `ID.orig_id`. The depsgraph pointer is set in the same
place where the `orig_id` is set.
As a nice side benefit, this also improves the situation in simple cases like
having two cubes with a boolean modifier and they union each other.

During the strips redesign it was tested to go with drop shadows but
in practice and based on user feedback it looks better without.
- Remove drop shadow.
- Use white text for active/selected strips, black for unselected.

EEVEE stores light probes using octahedral mapping. Compared to the previous
cubemap storage octahedral has less pixels. The 64x64 is becoming useless
and can be removed. This PR also enables generating light probe maps upto 4k.
Some issues were found: the offset of the sphere inside the atlas
was always set to mipmap level 0 offset. This was hidden because of the texture
wrapping. Also the offset was substracted from the local texture
coordinate when calculating the direction of the pixel. Might be that due
to the incorrect offset (mipmap level 0), the latter issue was never detected.
Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/123074
The offset was only 0.5 which centered the gather
sample exactly on the first pixel of the quad.
With floating point arithmetic differences on Nvidia
this lead to the wrong set of texture pixel being
fetched by gather.
Using the coordinate at the center of the quad fixes
the issue.
Fix#123262
With selected strips, it is not clear where one of them begins and another
ends since their outlines are right next to each other.
This changes strip look so that:
- All strips have consistent dark 1pt outline at the outer edge.
- Selected strips have 2pt highlight inside said outer edge.
- Selected strips also have a 1pt wide 33% opacity darker line inside the
selection highlight (and inside possible handles). To improve readability
in case strip content happens to be similar to selection/active color.

Almost certainly not an issue in current codebase (this 'copy' version
of `MEM_cnew` does not seem much used in the first place), but better be
consistent with the 'allocating' version.
Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/123445
Sync a bit better the checks on the alignment value between
`MEM_lockfree_mallocN_aligned` and `MEM_guarded_mallocN_aligned`.
The only significant change, in `MEM_guarded_mallocN_aligned`, is the
usage of `ALIGNED_MALLOC_MINIMUM_ALIGNMENT` instead of 'magic value' `8`.
This should not have any effect on 64bits platforms, but on 32bits ones
the minimum alignment would be reduced from `8` to `4` now.
NOTE: we could also consider making these checks part of a utils
function, instead of duplicating them in the codebase.
When installing from disk, include remote repositories in the list.
- Works with drag & drop from file system.
- This is the only way to "downgrade" an extensions.
Extensions in remote repositories that have no remote entries (orphans)
are now listed in the UI and the "list" sub-command.
Required for installing into remote repositories from disk (see #122302)
Details:
- Consistent ordering (local, remote) arguments.
- Use zip(..., strict=True) when sequences are expected to be aligned.
This required various compiler and SDK updates
* HIP on Windows updated to 5.7.3
* HIP on Linux updated to 6.3.1
* HIP-RT updated to version 2.0.e1ff193

Add-ons may attempt to load the GPU module in background mode when no GPU
context has been initialized yet. This would give an error on import.
If then later the GPU context does get initialized, for example for a
render engine, import would still fail as the module is cached.
This reverts commit d7f124f06f3fda59523ed05f12d1f4af6a523ba6, and again
throws errors in methods and constructors instead of module import.
