2022-08-09	Cycles: add new Spectrum and PackedSpectrum types	Andrii Symkin
	These replace float3 and packed_float3 in various places in the kernel where a spectral color representation will be used in the future. That representation will require more than 3 channels and conversion to from/RGB. The kernel code was refactored to remove the assumption that Spectrum and RGB colors are the same thing. There are no functional changes, Spectrum is still a float3 and the conversion functions are no-ops. Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D15535
2022-02-11	Cycles: use SPDX license headers	Brecht Van Lommel
	* Replace license text in headers with SPDX identifiers. * Remove specific license info from outdated readme.txt, instead leave details to the source files. * Add list of SPDX license identifiers used, and corresponding license texts. * Update copyright dates while we're at it. Ref D14069, T95597
2021-10-14	Cycles: Kernel address space changes for MSL	Michael Jones
	This is the first of a sequence of changes to support compiling Cycles kernels as MSL (Metal Shading Language) in preparation for a Metal GPU device implementation. MSL requires that all pointer types be declared with explicit address space attributes (device, thread, etc...). There is already precedent for this with Cycles' address space macros (ccl_global, ccl_private, etc...), therefore the first step of MSL-enablement is to apply these consistently. Line-for-line this represents the largest change required to enable MSL. Applying this change first will simplify future patches as well as offering the emergent benefit of enhanced descriptiveness. The vast majority of deltas in this patch fall into one of two cases: - Ensuring ccl_private is specified for thread-local pointer types - Ensuring ccl_global is specified for device-wide pointer types Additionally, the ccl_addr_space qualifier can be removed. Prior to Cycles X, ccl_addr_space was used as a context-dependent address space qualifier, but now it is either redundant (e.g. in struct typedefs), or can be replaced by ccl_global in the case of pointer types. Associated function variants (e.g. lcg_step_float_addrspace) are also redundant. In cases where address space qualifiers are chained with "const", this patch places the address space qualifier first. The rationale for this is that the choice of address space is likely to have the greater impact on runtime performance and overall architecture. The final part of this patch is the addition of a metal/compat.h header. This is partially complete and will be extended in future patches, paving the way for the full Metal implementation.

2021-09-21	Cycles: merge of cycles-x branch, a major update to the renderer	Brecht Van Lommel
	This includes much improved GPU rendering performance, viewport interactivity, new shadow catcher, revamped sampling settings, subsurface scattering anisotropy, new GPU volume sampling, improved PMJ sampling pattern, and more. Some features have also been removed or changed, breaking backwards compatibility. Including the removal of the OpenCL backend, for which alternatives are under development. Release notes and code docs: https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/Reference/Release_Notes/3.0/Cycles https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/Source/Render/Cycles Credits: * Sergey Sharybin * Brecht Van Lommel * Patrick Mours (OptiX backend) * Christophe Hery (subsurface scattering anisotropy) * William Leeson (PMJ sampling pattern) * Alaska (various fixes and tweaks) * Thomas Dinges (various fixes) For the full commit history, see the cycles-x branch. This squashes together all the changes since intermediate changes would often fail building or tests. Ref T87839, T87837, T87836 Fixes T90734, T89353, T80267, T80267, T77185, T69800
2019-04-17	ClangFormat: apply to source, most of intern	Campbell Barton
	Apply clang format as proposed in T53211. For details on usage and instructions for migrating branches without conflicts, see: https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/Tools/ClangFormat
2018-07-06	Cleanup: strip trailing space for cycles	Campbell Barton

2017-11-05	Code refactor: remove emission and background closures, sum directly.	Brecht Van Lommel

2013-11-18	Cycles: change __device and similar qualifiers to ccl_device in kernel code.	Brecht Van Lommel
	This to avoids build conflicts with libc++ on FreeBSD, these __ prefixed values are reserved for compilers. I apologize to anyone who has patches or branches and has to go through the pain of merging this change, it may be easiest to do these same replacements in your code and then apply/merge the patch. Ref T37477.
2012-12-15	Cycles OSL minor optimizations: recycle shading context, don't do memory	Brecht Van Lommel
	allocations for trace data, avoid some virtual function calls. Only helps a few percentages.
2012-10-20	Cycles OSL: most closure code is now shared between OSL and SVM. Also fix	Brecht Van Lommel
	transmission pass and filter glossy option. The BSDF closure class is now more similar to the SVM closures, and includes some flags and labels that are needed to properly categorize the BSDF's for render passes. Phong closure is gone for the moment, needs to be adapated to the new structure still.
