The goal is to solve confusion of the "All rights reserved" for licensing
code under an open-source license.
The phrase "All rights reserved" comes from a historical convention that
required this phrase for the copyright protection to apply. This convention
is no longer relevant.
However, even though the phrase has no meaning in establishing the copyright
it has not lost meaning in terms of licensing.
This change makes it so code under the Blender Foundation copyright does
not use "all rights reserved". This is also how the GPL license itself
states how to apply it to the source code:
<one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
This program is free software ...
This change does not change copyright notice in cases when the copyright
is dual (BF and an author), or just an author of the code. It also does
mot change copyright which is inherited from NaN Holding BV as it needs
some further investigation about what is the proper way to handle it.
Increase the default value for the maximum number of recently-opened
files from 10 to 20. Also change the user's preference on version bump
to this new value if their current value is exactly the old default.

Move two settings that were previously in the "View" menu of the Graph Editor into User Preferences.
It has been mentioned in the meeting by Luciano Muñoz Sessarego that it would be good to move that to the preferences so you can set it once and then forget about it.
The Settings moved are:
Only Selected Curve Keyframes
Use High Quality Display

Previously [D16255](https://developer.blender.org/D16255)
There is no option to adjust the edge_width like there is in the preferences for vertex_size and face_dot_size.
I only added the option for 3DView and UV/Image Editor, and limited both to a max size of 5 pixel, since the edges do not look very nice with too high values.
In the UV Editor only, there are always black outlines on the edges, I could not find a way to reduce the increasing thickness of these black outlines.
The default edge_width of 1 pixel:
Here the edge_width with a falue of 3:
And here the visible increase of the dark border of the edges and their overlap (even at the maxed size of 5):
Lastly for the 3DView the max edge_width of 5 looks like this:

This tools allows to change strip playback speed by manipulating
retiming handles. More handles can be added to single strip to create
variable playback speed.
This tool replaces Speed Factor property in time panel, with exception
of sound strips. Support for sound strips is still in review.

This commit implements described in the #104573.
The goal is to fix the confusion of the submodule hashes change, which are not
ideal for any of the supported git-module configuration (they are either always
visible causing confusion, or silently staged and committed, also causing
confusion).
This commit replaces submodules with a checkout of addons and addons_contrib,
covered by the .gitignore, and locale and developer tools are moved to the
main repository.
This also changes the paths:
- /release/scripts are moved to the /scripts
- /source/tools are moved to the /tools
- /release/datafiles/locale is moved to /locale
This is done to avoid conflicts when using bisect, and also allow buildbot to
automatically "recover" wgen building older or newer branches/patches.
Running `make update` will initialize the local checkout to the changed
repository configuration.
Another aspect of the change is that the make update will support Github style
of remote organization (origin remote pointing to thy fork, upstream remote
pointing to the upstream blender/blender.git).

After rBdb87e2a638f9, two contexts were missing:
- VirtualReality, to be used in an add-on
- Constraint, used in the constraints UI
The latter was actually used without being added, which caused errors.
It was reverted in rB31a640027982.
This is a revert of a revert, because the initial revert is only
supposed to be in the release branch.
This reverts commit 3eed00dc546b5930b255572901915ccbc26c0e69.
This reverts commit 19222627c6b57df77d3bc9ae60d7850ab7e23abb.
Something went wrong here, seems like this commit merged the main branch
into the release branch, which should never be done.
Currently Metal is more stable then the OpenGL backend on apple
devices. Also the Metal backend supports more features then the
OpenGL backend. For example the viewport compositor and rendering
of production files.
This has been validated with users and studios.
This patch will default to the Metal backend when starting
Blender 3.5 for the first time or when loading factory startup. It
is still possible to switch to OpenGL via the user preferences.
It will not automatically select the Metal backend when there is
already user preferences available for Blender 3.5.
No design or functional changes. Just rename the layers for the last
two icons that were added so that they follow the naming pattern.
Also, update the layer order for another icon (was not alphabetic).

Note that the node group has its sockets names translated, while the
built-in nodes don't. So we need to use data_ for the built-in nodes
names, and the sockets of the created node groups.

This reverts commit 68181c2560db25c1bd2b70beccf6022c5aa00f39.
I merged 3.6 into 3.5 by mistake. Basically I had a PR against main,
then changed it in the last minute to be against 3.5 via the
web-interface unaware that I shouldn't do it without updating the
patch.

When animating it is often useful to frame the Graph Editor/Dope Sheet to whatever frames are in a given channel.
This patch adds the option to frame on selected channels OR frame on whatever channel is under the cursor.
If a preview range is set it will only focus on keys in that range.
Supports FCurve and keyframe data
Frame to selected is called with
* Right click in the channel section -> Frame Selected Channels
* or in Channel → Frame Selected Channels
* or hitting . on the numpad
Frame to channel under cursor is done with
ALT + Middle Mouse Button

Finding the documentation for nodes can be time consuming.
By adding the online manual to the right click context menu in the node
editor the user gets easier access to the documentation.
Can also be used by custom nodes add-ons by registering a manual-map.

This adds the "Select More/Less" operators for Curves. Both operators use the `select_adjacent` function to (de)select adjacent points.
Pull Request #104626
After the removal of the "normal" attribute providers, we no longer
use the concept of read-only attributes. Removing this status simplifies
code, clarifies the design, and removes potentially buggy corner cases.

* Fix#92539: Hard to read the breadcrumbs.
* Fix View Item active, hover, and text color (e.g. count numbers in the
Spreadsheet were almost unreadable).
* Fix mismatching node type colors with the default theme.
Blender Light is meant to be simply a brighter version of the default,
so screenshots and tutorials can be followed with both themes.
* Use the same outline color for widgets, so they match when aligned in a row.
* Make panels standout (not fully transparent), like in the default theme.
The Preferences for asset libraries are becoming more than a simple name
+ path. E.g. there is now an Import Method options, and we previously
also considered a Relative Paths option (which we may still want to
add). The previous UI, while consistent with the Auto Run Python Scripts
UI isn't well suited for less than trivial cases. Using UI lists makes
the UI more scalable and follows usual list UI patterns more. There is
also more space for the path button now.
Part of #104686.
The default import method for an asset library can now be determined in
the Preferences. The Asset Browser has a new "Follow Preferences" option
for the importing. The essentials asset library still only uses "Append
(Reuse Data)".
This is part of #104686, which aims at improving the import method
selection, especially for the introduction of the new essentials library
(which doesn't support certain import methods). Further changes are
coming to improve the UI, see #104686.

The quick fur operator now uses the new hair system. It adds a new
curves object for every selected mesh, and adds geometry nodes
modifiers from the essentials assets that generate curves. A few
settings are exposed in the redo panel, including an option for whether
to apply the modifier to generate the initial curves so that there is
original editable data.
The point of the operator is to give people a sense of how to use the
node groups and to give a very fast way to build a basic setup for
further tweaking.
Pull Request #104764
Use the right hand side selection, as it fits the typical workflow
the best.
Arguably, the same would need to be done for the k-shortcut, but
that is another issue to be tackled. As well as making the selection
active.
Pull Request #104777
This implements the delete operator in curves edit mode. The behavior
is similar to the delete operator in the edit mode of legacy curves,
i.e. it's actually dissolving and doesn't split curves. This is also
the behavior that we generally want for the hair use case.
The operator is added to the `Curves` menu and can be accessed via
the keyboard using `X` or `Del`.
Pull Request #104765
This adds a new `Curve Falloff` popover to the comb brush tool settings.
The curve control allows changing the brush weight along the curve to
e.g. affect the tip more than the root. This is a relative way to get
something like stiffness for short hair.
This functionality could potentially be added to some other brushes,
but the comb brush is the most important one, so that is added first.
I did add the buttons add the buttons to choose a curve map preset.
However, I did not add the preset dropdown, because that just adds
some unnecessary complexity in the code now and is redundant.
