Both the default theme and Blender Light have been updated.
Blender Light also includes automatically generated colors based on the
default theme that were not set previously.
In the graph editor there is a panel that says "Active Keyframe" for
numerically editing a keyframe's values, but in the code there is no
concept of the "active keyframe." Since this is a useful concept to
have for some other features anyway, this commit adds an active
keyframe index value to FCurves. It also displays it with a theme
color for the active vertex (which didn't exist before) if the
FCurve is active.
The active keyframe in the graph editor is treated similarly to the
active vertex in the 3D view. It is the keyframe most recently selected
with a single click, and it is always selected.
For now, the only real functional change is that the active keyframe
appears in white and it should be more predictable which keyframe is
being edited in the sidebar panel.

This commit makes grid theming more consistent and capable by adding
some new theme colors related to grid rendering.
- Add grid theme color for node editor. `UI_view2d_multi_grid_draw`
is called with TH_GRID instead of a shaded `TH_BACK`.
Also color-blend `TH_NODE_GROUP`.
- Make the movie clip editor's clip preview grid respect grid theme
color (`ED_region_grid_draw` uses color-blended `TH_GRID`).
- Add versioning code to allow fixing existing themes (the resulting
themes should visually look the same as before)
These changes did cause some inconsistencies in the movie clip editor,
even after adjusting the themes accordingly:
1. The alpha slider of the grid color affects the background and not
the grid lines themselves.
2. The grids used by graph and dopesheet mode could already be themed
in the past. Now that the clip preview's grid can also be themed,
two different modes share the same theme color.

This adds color tagging to collections. There are 8 color
options which are themable in the user preferences, with an additional
option for no color tag by default.
This adds a new filled collection icon and 8 colored variants of the
icon that can be themed in the user preferences.
In this commit the only interface to setting the color tags is through
Python, and there is nowhere in the interface where the collections are
shown colored. Setting and viewing the color tags from the outliner will
follow.

This project moves the current UV/Image editor drawing to the draw manager.
Why would we do this:
**Performance**:
Current implementation would draw each texel per time. Multiple texels could be
drawn per pixel what would overwrite the previous result. You can notice this
when working with large textures. Repeat image drawing made this visible by
drawing for a small period of time and stop drawing the rest. Now the rendering
is fast and all repeated images are drawn.
**Alpha drawing**:
Current implementation would draw directly in display space. Giving incorrect
results when displaying alpha transparent images.
This addresses {T52680}, {T74709}, {T79518}
The image editor now can show emission only colors. See {D8234} for
examples.
**Current Limitations**
Using images that are larger than supported by your GPU are resized (eg larger
than 16000x16000 are resized to 8k). This leaves some blurring artifacts. It is
a low priority to add support back of displaying individual pixels of huge
images. There is a design task {T80113} with more detail.
**Implementation overview**
Introduced an Image Engine in the draw module. this engine is responsible for
drawing the texture in the main area of the UV/Image editor. The overlay engine
has a edit_uv overlay which is responsible to draw the UV's, shadows and
overlays specifically for the UV Image editor. The background + checker pattern
is drawn by the overlay_background.
The patch will allow us to share overlays between the 3d viewport and UV/Image
editor more easily. In most cases we just need to switch the `pos` with the `u`
attribute in the vertex shader.
The project can be activated in the user preferences as experimental features.
In a later commit this will be reversed.

We have established a convention of exposing the most important
settings from popovers, then aligning a popover to control more
detailed settings.
The file browser has powerful display / filtering settings, but
they're hidden in popovers at the moment, so it's sometimes a pain
to use them. The "display as" options are now exposed to the left of
the display settings popover, and the "filter" toggle is exposed to
the left of the filter settings popover. This convention is familiar
and intuitive for users and makes interaction faster.
Note that the "show hidden" item in the filter popover still has an
effect if filtering is disabled.
This commit also:
- Removes the icons in the "Sort By" enum
- Uses property split for the "Sort By" enum
- Very slightly increases the default width of the file browser
window to make room for the new buttons.

The outliner already uses the alternating row theme color as an
overlay for every other row. This uses the same color for the file
browser, instead of a hardcoded shading.
The file browser background color is slightly tweaked to match the
outliner, and the Blender Light theme is updated to use a lighter
background color like the outliner.

The file subversion is no longer used in the Python API or user interface,
and is now internal to Blender.
User interface, Python API and file I/O metadata now use more consistent
formatting for version numbers. Official releases use "2.83.0", "2.83.1",
and releases under development use "2.90.0 Alpha", "2.90.0 Beta".
Some Python add-ons may need to lower the Blender version in bl_info to
(2, 83, 0) or (2, 90, 0) if they used a subversion number higher than 0.

The old value (1.0) was often too large in practice. When many collection
instances are created, the large empties create a mess in the viewport.
This adds a new preference setting in `Editing -> Objects -> New Objects`

This color had it's alpha reduced in the drawing code,
as the active face is no longer stippled.
Now the color is used from the theme without adjusting the alpha.
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.
